With over 100 HP output, the GSX-R 750 was a detuned version of the GS1000R racer. The street-legal limited version GSX-R750R model was introduced for 1986. The basic specifications of the bike were the same as for the standard model (except for the seat height) but the the ”double R” model offered some interesting goodies that improved an already great bike. | |||

The '''GSX-R750''' was built to compete in the various worldwide championships as well as to be used on the street. It is considered as one the very first street-legal racers, there had been a number of sports machines but the GSX-R750 was something else. It was a revolutionary [[motorcycle]] with specifications like over 100 [[hp]] power output, less than 180 kg dry mass, 55° leaning angle, lightweight alloy [[cradle frame|double-cradle perimeter frame]], 18-inch wheels and streamlined design based on the factory Formula 1 and Endurance racers. Upon its introduction in 1985, Suzuki's PR department claimed that it was the first aluminum-alloy framed production motorcycle; the truth was that the German firm [[Ardie]] had beaten them to it back in 1930. | The '''GSX-R750''' was built to compete in the various worldwide championships as well as to be used on the street.

The '89 GSX-R750R (RR) was a revision to the previous long-stroke format of the original GSX-R mainly aimed at small teams who wanted to continue using their hard-earned tuning knowledge. It came with special race bodywork and significant revisions to make the bike a true "out of the crate" racer. | The '89 GSX-R750R (RR) was a revision to the previous long-stroke format of the original GSX-R mainly aimed at small teams who wanted to continue using their hard-earned tuning knowledge.

The GSXR that started all the madness becomes better with each passing year, as Hamamatsu is constantly finding way to tweak the machine for more performance even when no huge changes are being implemented. This allows the stock version of the 2009 MY GSX-R750 to replicate a lot of the race bike's character, especially as radial brakes, adjustable high-performance suspensions and on-the-fly engine mapping options are also delivered as part of the package. | |||

The 2010 MY GSX-R750 maintains the successful recipe of its predecessors, putting on the street a bike designed for racing, but with amenities to make it legal and rideable in more casual scenarios. Open-class racetrack performance is delivered in a middleweight package which is usable for daily commuting as well. Still, riders get a fully-evil bike, equipped with fully-adjustable premium suspensions, on-the-fly adjustable engine mapping, radial mount calipers and many other features and technologies derived from the racing program. | |||
