Suzuki GSX-S750
The GSX-S750 is one of the first Suzuki motorcycles that I got my hands on for testing. What are its strengths? How does it compare to competitors? Who would I recommend this bike to? You will find the answer to all these questions in this review and the following video presentation.
Overall, the GSX-S750 is a great motorcycle for new riders looking for something suitable for Category A. It is known that the initial costs associated with switching to a motorcycle are not small. You should make a discount, buy a lot of clothes, and also choose a motorcycle. Therefore, it is worth taking the purchase of your first motorcycle seriously in order to calmly study the market. So that the first motorcycle not only does not disappoint, but also lasts longer. And that's what I think the GSX-S750 is. It starts out so heavy that it has a high suspended center of gravity, but the way it delivers power makes the bike tame quickly. Because it is so versatile that it will last for several seasons, and for some drivers it can remain in the garage for years. Why?

Because the engine of the Suzuki GSX-S750...
... it's big capacity, it has power, it has momentum, but it's not intrusive. This motorcycle has claws, but they are hidden for a long time. This doesn't mean it's boring, there's no motorcycle. But this spendthrift is more of a meek cat than a wild beast. Riding it every day, I didn't feel like the bike was uncontrollably escaping my control. It has 114 hp, which is great in this class of motorcycles, and 81 Nm. This power is available, however, in the upper rev range. The bike also has a low-speed riding system, but to be honest, sometimes the low-speed culture was not very cultural. There's enough power to play around, slide out, or lift the wheel off the throttle, but the hardware is definitely less aggressive than it would have been when it came out.

Modifications
There are no official modifications for katanas, but sometimes there are models with a volume of 8,00 or more cubes . There is no point in describing these developments of “folk craftsmen”.
and competitors
The bike couldn't do without competitors either. This is the older “sizer” - Kawasaki ZZR600, the older “vifer” - Honda VFR 750, and Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat. It is interesting that the latter, having a smaller engine capacity, produced identical power and torque figures.
Plus excellent traction
And when I say great, I don't mean that he manages, he really does a great job. Well, maybe 3 – the highest level of control. Step 3 – option “how calm it is here, nothing is happening.” Literally, even acceleration is effectively blocked at this stage. Level 2 driver support is very useful on wet, slippery or sandy asphalt. The first stage reacts only to wheel slip. In other words: the lower the support level, the less control, but also noticeably better acceleration. It's also nice that you don't have to stop to turn off the traction completely. During engine braking, thrust changes in each direction. The GSX-S750's traction is very smooth. Don't drag the bike, it runs very smoothly. If it weren't for the control, you wouldn't know that you were skating with your face.

Specifications
Engine – right side view.
Engine – left view.
Developed in parallel, both models received the same engine from the sports GSX-R750 , but on the older model they did not artificially limit it.
Although after restyling he still lost several horses. This is a regular 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled four with in-line pistons.
Transmission and clutch
The chassis is identical to the younger version, the engine is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox .
The user had no questions about it - good, convenient numbers, pedal travel is within normal limits, it turns on clearly, neutral is located right away.
The main drive is standard - chain .
Brakes
There are few complaints about the brakes. The general opinion is that they are informative and even respond to stroking the controls.
Front brakes.
Rear brakes.
“ You stop where you planned .” True, in most cases they add - when driving alone. The presence of a second number does not reflect well on them.
In technical details they are identical to the junior katana. There are 2 discs on the front wheel , 1 . Diameter 290/240 mm , support for 2 pistons on both axles. During the restyling process, the rear disc becomes 10 mm narrower.
Installation of additional systems is not provided .
He's in a good position
After many years of driving, I found that it is better to learn how to drive and start the adventure with motorcycles on naked vehicles or motorcycles where the biker sits upright. Sports motorcycles are considered less comfortable and demanding at low speeds. Cool on the track, but after all, it's often a long time since buying a bike before a rider decides to hit the track for the first time. Naki have themselves, which makes them convenient and easier to control. Riding it is similar to riding a bicycle, so it is easier to get used to. This is important in the beginning. To do this, simply an upright driving position is more comfortable over longer distances or during daily battles in the city, noise. The GSX-S750 is comfortable and the position is really cool. At first the sitting seemed strange, but after a while the impression disappeared. As if it were not a position that is not tiring and very natural. The steering wheel is neither too narrow nor too wide, which makes the bike respond well to what the rider wants to do with it. In short, a plus.

Release Features
The first generation is a rectangular headlight.
Second generation – double headlight.
The model is being developed until 2007 . It was not intended for Japanese sales, but was exported to all countries/continents. Not often found on Russian markets. At the same time, most offers on the secondary market offer purchases with mileage in the Russian Federation. The price starts from 70,000 rubles .
Sufficient brakes
And you can even choose whether you want ABS or not.
But seriously, it's cool to make braking power. The bike is properly equipped to stop effectively without giving the owner a heart attack (which is not the case with the SV650). We squeeze the brake levers with one finger, and that's enough to stop the GSX-S750. If you squeeze harder, you tear the asphalt. Do you want it soft and slow? - nothing simpler! ABS is also not brutal, but this time I did not have the opportunity to test its operation on gravel or sand. It was good on dry, wet, white asphalt. The rear end, as in ABS motorcycles, can be supported as much as possible because pressing the lever harder starts a cycle of alternately locking and releasing the wheel, resulting in no actual loss of speed.

He looks decent for the money
And this is a good argument. Many new motorcyclists don't want to look like a toy on their motorcycle. We also accepted that it's a liter or nothing. Well, maybe 600 in sports. And the 750cc is also known quite a bit. I omit the correctness of such ideas, because even 125 cc. cm provide a lot of driving pleasure, produce endorphins and pump up adrenaline. However, if you belong to people who first want to have a “masculine” motorcycle, then this is just what you need. He looks more brutal than he actually is, and is generally cool.
Don't worry - it has power and the 750cc is no longer a toy and it has power, that's why I want to go. As if it doesn't kill me to touch the handle, of course I miss the exhaust. This is not bad and even says well, but when I get to know my life, it will still become a substitute. For this one, I really liked the black kits and the overall look of the bike, especially when paired with the red.
What else can there be to say about the GSX-S750?
The motorcycle is “not greedy”. The capacity makes it very flexible. You don't have to think about the lack of fuel, and my combustion came out at 6.48l/100km. In traffic jams he gives advice. It has a fairly large, well hidden storage area. It is well defined by legs that are not supported by any frames or plastic bends. Transparent and clean dial with clearly visible speed indicator, large gear indicator. Of course, the turnover, according to the trend, is represented by a belt. The switches are cool and duplicated. What we present on the display can be controlled not only by the buttons under the watch, but also by the thumb on the steering wheel. And the pendant gives advice. The city is right. The larger the holes, the worse, but, as a rule, there is nothing to attach. Unfortunately, I don't know about riding with a passenger on this bike, but it looks like it.

Driving performance
The motorcycle's fairly long wheelbase is perfect for cruising on the highway.
The maximum speed stated in the documents is 223 km/h . The owners say that it picks up easily, with smooth acceleration without surprises, such as pick-ups. It is possible to do more, but for this you will have to bore up to 950 cubic meters.
Acceleration to hundreds (dynamics)
- Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds . Interestingly, the young one in the strangled version shows the same indicators.
- Comfortable cruiser - 150 km/h .
Fuel consumption
Consumption, according to the manufacturer’s documentation, is 6.7 liters per 100 km . According to owners' reviews - up to 6 liters on the highway, up to 7.5 in the city. If you want to unscrew it “with all the money”, you can see 10 liters . Provided that the tank is 20 liters , the average distance on one gas station is 300-350 km .
Cons of the GSX-S750
The high and low beam switch is included in the dragoon trigger. We usually pull the trigger to flash the light. If we want to run the traffic light permanently, we press the trigger forward. And in general, we do this unconsciously, reaching for the clutch handle or improving our grip on the handle. This is also not a bike for shorter or smaller people. The high hanging sofa and the width of the motorcycle at the feet are not aimed at such people. A high center of gravity may not be to everyone's taste. The bike is also more susceptible to poor tire pressure. You can also feel the twisting circle, at least in the test art you can feel it. Classic lanterns, so after getting used to the ubiquitous LEDs, they seem weak and you need to change the spark plugs. I also couldn't install the mirrors correctly. And the aerodynamics could be better, but this can easily be compensated for with a deflector or quickly. In the basic version, everything is fine up to 120 km/h, but then it becomes loud and somehow less pleasant.
