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. 
The '''Suzuki GS750''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] from 1977 to 1979.
 
==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==
==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==
==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]].

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.
