History of the Suzuki GSR750
A detuned superbike engine
The GSR750 was launched in 2011 as Suzuki’s middleweight street bike. Its engine came from the 2005 GSX-R750 but was re-tuned to give a more usable midrange at the expense of high-end power, exactly the recipe that suits an unfaired roadster.
Updates and successor
ABS was added in 2012, and the model reached the United States only in 2015. At the Intermot show in 2016 Suzuki announced a newly named GSX-S750, which carried the concept on.

- Proven engine: the 2005 GSX-R750 four, detuned for the road.
