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]] [[Yamaha XS750|XS750]], while Suzuki followed the classic route of a transverse four-cylinder layout. Kawasaki was still behind with only a twin cylinder [[Kawasaki KZ750B|KZ750]].
 
==Errors of Judgment==
Suzuki had previously made two costly errors of judgement. The first had been the highly original [[Suzuki GT750|GT 750 three-cylinder two-stroke]], which lacked sportiness and didn't conform to the antipollution laws, and the second was the [[Suzuki RE5|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 [[Suzuki GS1000|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.

Suzuki introduced the popular Suzuki GT 750, a water-cooled 2-stroke triple, in 1971, but knew the days of the “Water Buffalo” (as it was known on the street) were numbered thanks to ever tightening emissions regulations in the U.S. and Europe.
