SUZUKI GSX-R750 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

Back in 1985, Suzuki brought into the world the GSX-R750, which became the foundation for the present sportbikes. With its lightweight frame and amazing power, the GSX-R750 won the Le Man’s 24-hour World Endurance Championship at the time of its debut.

The modern models have only gotten better and better, with Suzuki constantly working to increase power and improve handling, turning them into modern, state-of-the-art machines. If anything, the GSX-R750 was the sweet spot between the lightweight 600cc motorcycles and the uncompromised performance of the liter-class bikes.

In 2013, Suzuki launched the GSX-R750 motorcycle, built around a lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame that featured a cast-aluminum swingarm. It also featured an electronically controlled steering damper that provided lighter steering at lower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.

The 2013 Suzuki GSX-R750 took its thrust from the proven 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that offered a power output of 148 hp at 12.800 and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) of torque at 11,200 rpm. When combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 156 kg (344 lbs), the result was a top speed of 271 kph (168 mph).

The bike featured a fully adjustable race-developed suspension with a Brembo braking system followed by cast aluminum wheels for enhanced performance.
