In 2003, Suzuki launched the GSX-R750 motorcycle that featured some color changes such as White with Blue, Red with White, and Black with Yellow, but also the first year when the bike received a Day Light system.
The GSX-R 750 chassis featured a narrow, aerodynamic bodywork with twin headlights on the front cowl, turn signals sticking out from the side fairings, and a compact taillight. Mounted behind the handlebar was an instrument cluster that featured a step-motor-driven analog tachometer, a digital speedometer, and an LCD that showed trip meters, coolant temperature, clock, and EFI diagnostics.
On the front side, the model featured a fully adjustable 43 mm inverted fork and a fully adjustable piggy-back shock absorber on the rear that acted as a suspension, while the lightweight four-piston brake calipers with 320 mm disc on the front and 220 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear acted as brakes.
In the power department, the 2003 Suzuki GSX-R750 was taking its thrust from a 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 140 hp at 12,500 rpm and 85 Nm (63 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 10,500 rpm. The power produced by the engine, combined with the spinning parts of a six-speed transmission and a dry weight of 166 kg (366 lbs), launched the bike to a top speed of 280 kph (174 mph).
