2011 Suzuki GSR750 Teaser Sketch Released

The competition will be fierce for the newly launched Z750R from Kawasaki, as another Japanese motorcycle manufacturer is showing its weapons in the sportsbike-derived naked machines battle. Suzuki is one such example, as it has just unveiled the official sketch of the 2011 GSR750 model.

Using the same engine, but likely with less horsepower as the company’s GSX-R750 model, the all-new GSR750 from Suzuki will claim its share of the affordable middleweight naked class.

Combining comfortable ergonomics with reasonable street performance might, however, might not be enough to draw attention upon itself, so Suzuki engineers could also look into finding solutions to keep the cost down.

Styling gets far more aggressive than what we've seen so far in Suzuki's naked bikes, like the designers have tried to fill in the gap between the lines of the Gladius and those of the B-King.

This is why the chassis, frame and suspension is expected to be made from cheaper materials in order to achieve a reasonable price of around EUR7,500. Aside from the 2011 Kawasaki Z750R, the GSR750 will also have to battle Yamaha FZ8, Aprilia Shiver and Triumph Street Triple in getting the attention of European customers.

Suzuki will be taking the wraps off its 2011 GSR750 naked machine at the Intermot Cologne motorcycle show early next month, but hopefully it will make a full unveil in photos and technical details ahead of the public event. Also, we might also soon witness the launch of the smallest gixxer in the series, the GSX-R125, that has been rumored for a while now.
