SUZUKI GSX-R750 (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Suzuki GSX-R750 was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki in 1984 and introduced as a GSX-R series model. Often referred to as the benchmark in high-performance sports bikes, the GSX-R750 has indeed reset the standards as far as track machines were concerned.

In 2001, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the GSX-R750, a motorcycle that carried on the heritage of the older models and incorporated Suzuki's newest technology.

The GSR-750 featured a light and compact engine that packed a 16-bit Electronic Control Module (ECM), which operated the fuel injection system to deliver more power and improved throttle response.

As for power, the 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 140 hp with a peak at 12,500 rpm and 85 Nm ( 63 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm, which was converted into speed by a six-speed manual transmission that pushed the bike to a top speed of 280 kph (174 mph).

For suspension, the 2001 Suzuki GSX-R750 packed a fully adjustable spring preload inverted telescopic fork on the front and a link-type fully adjustable spring preload with a four-way adjustable rebound damping shock absorber on the rear.

The bike rolled out from the manufacturing plant on a set of lightweight cast-aluminum wheels dressed in high-performance radial tires specially developed for the GSX-R750 model.
