The Suzuki GS750 was a in-line four, four-stroke Standard motorcycle produced by Suzuki between 1976 and 1982. It could reach a top speed of 123 mph (198 km/h). Max torque was 44.26 ft/lbs (60.0 Nm) @ 8250 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 61.69 HP (46.0 KW) @ 8800 RPM.
History
The arrival of the first 750cc Yamaha and Suzuki four-strokes in 1976 marked a historical turning point. The former attempted to break new ground technically with a three cylinder shaft-drive machine, while Suzuki followed the classic route of a transverse four-cylinder layout.
Errors of Judgment
Suzuki had previously made two costly errors of judgement. The first had been the highly original GT 750 three-cylinder two-stroke, which lacked sportiness and didn't conform to the antipollution laws, and the second was the rotary-engined RE5. This time the marque was taking no risks, and satisfied itself by producing the best possible interpretation of a well-proven theme. Its sensible styling was inspired by the Honda CB750F, while the twin overhead-camshaft engine was comparable with the Kawasaki power unit.
The Best-Balanced Bike
It took some time for the GS750 to make a serious impression on the market. It quickly revealed itself as the best-balanced machine in its category. It led the way in all aspects. The road-holding was exemplary, it was marginally faster than any of its rivals, and its reliability was outstanding. Included in its comprehensive equipment was a digital display on the instrument panel that showed which gear it was in! In 1978 was joined by a big sister, the GS1000.
Engine
The engine was a air cooled in-line four, four-stroke. A 67.0mm bore x 53.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 747.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin cam (dohc).
Drive
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate.
Chassis
It came with a 3.50 h 19-4 pr front tire and a 4.50 h 17-4 pr rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc. slotted disc in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a air, oil damped while the rear was equipped with a oil damped, 4 damping adjustments, 5 load settings. The GS750T was fitted with a 4.23 Gallon (16.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 498.24 pounds (226.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.45 inches (1510 mm) long.
