S
uzuki created the foundation for a dy-
nasty in 1977 when they unveiled the
very first GS750. The sleek design,
coupled with a performance focused
in-line 4-cylinder engine, helped signifi-
cantly push the edges of the envelope for
motorcycle design out quite a bit. In the
decades since, the 750 has evolved into
a stalwart presence in Suzuki's line-up,
serving as prime example of a versatile,
performance-oriented machine.
For 2015 the manufacturer takes the
750 into yet another evolutionary change.
Keeping performance at the forefront,
Suzuki has delivered a solid platform of
sportiness and melded it with practicality
of application. The result is a very com-
fortable upright naked bike that sacrifices
nothing in terms of its racing pedigree.
Suzuki has very adeptly recognized
the shift in what the motorcycle public
wants. And a big part of that want is a
sportbike that has everyday ride-ability.
The new GSX-S750 is not merely a re-
worked design of an existing model—this
is a machine conceived and engineered
specifically as a pure and practical high-
performance upright. The new package
mixes an attractive aesthetic with legiti-
mate technical brawn.
