Segment: Sport Touring
Production years: 2004, 2005
In 2005, the Japanese manufacturer launched the Suzuki GSX-750F Katana, a street motorcycle derived from the GSX-R750 model, and upgraded with a smart feature that interrupted the headlight at the start of the engine to reduce the load on the battery.
The 750cc engine was tweaked for better performance in the low-mid-range power output with much of the Gixxer nerve retained, with the power delivered in a more predictable, manageable manner suited for everyday riding.
A pure sports motorcycle, the GSX-750F Katana offered all-day rideability in a more comfortable position, excellent city capabilities, and multiple top-drawer technologies derived from the track-focused machines.
The bike featured a double cradle steel frame wrapped in a compact designed aerodynamic bodywork with great wind efficiency and a tall enough windscreen that offered good protection against elements.
For suspension, the model packed a 41 mm three-way adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a link-type assembly with fully adjustable compression and four-way adjustable rebound damping force.
As for the power, the 2005 Suzuki GSX-750F Katana took its thrust from a 748cc four-stroke-four-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine that produced a power output of 92 hp at 10,500 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,500 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 211 kg (465 lbs), the result was a top speed of 230 kph (143 mph).
