SUZUKI GSX-R750 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The GSX that started all the madness became better with each passing year, as Hamamatsu was constantly finding a way to tweak the machine for more performance even when no huge changes were implemented.

This allowed the stock version of the 2009 GSX-R750 to replicate a lot of the race bike's character, especially as radial brakes, adjustable high-performance suspensions, and on-the-fly engine mapping options that were also delivered as part of the package.

The 2009 GSX-R750 model featured a sharp and aggressive design implemented by a new headlight, an angular rear section, and a compact overall layout. For improved rigidity and acceleration, the lightweight cast aluminum wheels featured by the bike were manufactured in an angled spoke design.

The engine featured Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system with two eight-hole injectors on each cylinder, (SDMS) that allowed the rider to choose from three engine modes depending on the riding conditions, Suzuki Idle Speed Control (ISC) that improved the cold start and reduced emissions, and a Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with a large muffler.

The power figures of the 2009 Suzuki GSX-R750 were produced by the 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 148 hp at 12,800 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) of torque at 11,200 rpm. Combined with a dry weight of 163 kg (359 lbs) and a six-speed transmission, the bike went flying to a top speed of 270 kph (168 mph).
