In 2002, Suzuki released the GSX-R750, a sports motorcycle built in 1984 as a bike of the GSX-R series was one of the longest-running superbikes that gained a legendary reputation over the years. From 1985 to 2001, the Suzuki GSX-R750 went through seven major updates and a bunch of minor updates.
When the GSX-R750 debuted in 1985, it had 100 hp on the rear wheel, and in 2001 it registered 141 hp. The 2002 model, along with the GSX-R600 and GSX-R1000 models, formed the most complete family of track-based sporting motorcycles. On the twin-spar aluminum frame, the 2002 model featured fully adjustable race suspension on both the front and rear and dressed in a sharp, race-replica bodywork.
The 749cc engine featured the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection for optimized power delivery and lower emissions. Also, the 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine developed a power output of 140 hp with a peak at 12,500 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm, that when combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 166 kg (366 lbs), resulted in a top speed of 280 kph (174 mph).
The 2002 Suzuki GSX-R750 featured a fully adjustable suspension with a well-damped upside-down Kayaba front fork and a rear monoshock, while the braking power was delivered by two 320 mm discs squeezed by tow Tokico four-piston brake calipers on the front wheel and a single 220 mm disc with a two piston-caliper on the rear.
