Introduced in 1985, the Suzuki GSX-R750 has undergone hundreds of detail changes but the essential and underlying concept remains exactly the same in 2023 as it was at the beginning: 750cc four-cylinder engine, light, compact, powerful and nimble.

<![CDATA[Here’s How A Suzuki GSX-R750 Would Look In A Modern Guise]]> https://www.topspeed.com/heres-how-a-suzuki-gsx-r750-would-look-in-a-modern-guise/ The Suzuki GSX-R750 is the only true middleweight superbike on sale today. It has survived the test of time, and the Hamamatsu giant still sells the motorcycle in a few markets, even though all its contemporaries - Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati - have pulled out of this once-celebrated 700-750cc class. The Gixxer isn’t up-to-date in any way, however, and hasn’t been updated in nearly twelve years. Yet, it still has fans around the world and keeps a faint hope alive for a new, modernized GSX-R750. How would it look like, you ask? Well, here’s a render to help you paint a picture.

<![CDATA[10 Middle-Weight Sport Bikes For The Casual Rider]]> https://www.topspeed.com/middle-weight-sport-bikes-for-the-casual-rider/ The once-loved 600cc sport bike class is no longer the powerhouse it once was. However, that doesn’t mean middleweight bikes are extinct. Instead, rider buying trends and the Euro5 have influenced an evolution in the middleweight class. Gone are the basic and boring 600cc bikes that tend to blend together no matter what manufacturer they come from. In its place are modern designs, new engines, and a ton of new technology. So, if you are ready to step up your ride game but aren’t interested in a 1,000ccc liter bike, consider one of these middle-weight sport bikes for the casual rider.

<![CDATA[10 Best Suzuki Motorcycles Ever Built]]> https://www.topspeed.com/10-best-suzuki-motorcycles-ever-built/ If you were to ask a casual bystander to name a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, the chances are that Suzuki would be the last out of the big four to be mentioned. Why is that? Like Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha, Suzuki started building motorcycles in the aftermath of the second world war, when cheap, efficient transport was needed by the entire population, so it’s not like the others stole a march. Like Kawasaki and Yamaha, the Suzuki empire was founded on an industry completely opposite to wheeled transport: in Suzuki’s case, weaving looms at the beginning of the 20th century. And yet, Suzuki has the lowest profile of the big four. Suzuki might be the smallest in terms of manufacturing numbers, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t had its fair share of influence over the motorcycle market so we thought it was about time to redress the balance and bring Suzuki into the spotlight with our list of the top ten Suzukis in its history.

This rebuild comes close on the heels of the last revamp that landed just a couple short years ago, but it adds some significant features, most of which can be found “under the hood” or in the electronics suite. A couple of tweaks to the frame tune handling characteristics while the cornering ABS feature and variable valve-timing engine carries over from the previous generation. All in all, Suzuki turns in a very streetworthy racebike that's nothing short of a technological showcase on two wheels.

<![CDATA[Which are the Highest revving production motorcycles ever made?]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/guides/which-are-the-highest-revving-production-motorcycles-ever-made/ Motorcycles engines are known for their high-revving nature. Since they are limited in size and slapping them with massive big-block motors like the ones you see on automotives is a non-option, they compensate for making that big power by revving higher than most cars out there. For most motorcycles, 8000 to 11000 rpm’s are a standard affair, and all current sports bikes rev happily at these ranges and push the redline a wee bit more too.

This new “Gixxer” is built around Suzuki's design trinity that's succinctly broken down as “run, stop, and turn” to give the “X” more of what most folks look for in a sportbike. A new powerplant rides in an equally new frame to make the GSX-R1000X a unique machine that follows the natural progression of design from the GSX-R1000 model it replaces.

<![CDATA[2018 Suzuki GSX-R125]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/suzuki/2018-suzuki-gsx-r125/ Suzuki doubles down in the worldwide race to the bottom with its newly-redesigned GSX-R125. This pocket-rocket carries the undeniable genetic markers and the typical, race-tastic visage associated with the family. Engine output falls just shy of 15 horsepower (11 kW) and displacement is just under the 125 cc mark as well, so British riders can use it on the road with just a CBT certificate. This is no accident, since indoctrination is best when started young, and only good things can come from instilling some brand loyalty right at the entry level. Sure, there are plenty of 125 cc two-wheelers out there, but many are cheap Chinese imports and the rest are scooters, so there's definitely room in the market for a trainer bike with the name power and reputation of the Suzuki GSX-R family. Personally, I rather like these small-displacement sportbikes. Their simplicity is refreshing, and what they lack in top-end, they make up with handling which is where the fun is, anyway.

Suzuki's GSX-R1000 became the fastest road racing Superbike on the planet earlier this month, as Relentless Suzuki by TAS racer, Bruce Anstey, recorded an astonishing 133.977mph average lap speed in the final race of the Ulster Grand Prix.

Riding in the prestigious event that uses the closed-off roads around Dundrod in Northern Ireland, Anstey bravely piloted the GSX-R1000 around the 7.4 mile circuit, smashing the previous record in front of a 30,000 strong-crowd.

Talking about his amazing lap record, London-based Kiwi, Bruce, said,"I knew the Relentless Suzuki by TAS GSX-R1000 was fast, but even I didn't think we could go this quickly. We finished second in the opening race which was a little disappointing, so I got my head down in the final Superbike race and pushed as hard as I could. It was a close battle, but we took the win and proved that the GSX-R1000 is the fastest, which is especially nice during the 25th anniversary year".

The Relentless Suzuki by TAS GSX-R1000 that Bruce rode to victory, is a race-prepared version of the GSX-R1000 that can be bought from any authorised Suzuki dealer, for a recommended retail of £10,724 on the road. Featuring race-bred technology that includes a powerful 182BHP engine with adjustable engine mapping and an agile chassis with technical advances like Showa Big Piston Forks, the 2010 GSX-R1000 brings race pedigree to the masses.

Apparently, the unit is susceptible to crack behind and below the steering neck near the front triple clamps if the bike is aggressively ridden. All recalled bikes will be fitted with a special brace that will reinforce the undamaged frames and will be covered by a five-year warranty which begins on the date of installation by the dealer. But if they detect any damage, the entire frame will be replaced with a reinforced unit in order to prevent the danger of cracking.

<![CDATA[The first Suzuki GSX-R1000 fed with bio fuel]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/the-first-suzuki-gsx-r1000-fed-with-bio-fuel/ When you talk about two wheels there are few chances you won’t be expressing your love for races, a fully opened throttle, the way it sounds, the smell of burned gasses and eventually rubber. But, in contrast with all this, big motorbike houses create increasingly restrictive rules concerning pollution and they invest big bucks in learning how to effectively exploit biological fuel.

<![CDATA[2009 Suzuki MotoGP with Sidecar?]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/2009-suzuki-motogp-with-sidecar/ Is this the bike on which Chris Vermeulen plans on winning the 2009 MotoGP? We’ve come across this photo from the first tests of Chris Vermeulen on the evolution version of the GSV-R with which the Australian pilot will attempt to conquer the 2009 MotoGP title. Perfectly reflecting the team’s strategy, the bike, equipped with sidecar and car wheels as balance and the aerodynamic features do all the trick. I don’t know how a shoulder-to-shoulder final lap will look with this thing on the track, but the idea is daring, challenging and funny.

Stamford Superbike in the United Kingdom inspired of Chris Vermeulen’s Suzuki which he rode at the 2007 Australian MotoGP as a tribute to Barry Sheene and created a limited edition GSX-R1000 which has all the chances to be named the best looking GSX-R1000 of all times, or AT LEAST the one featuring the most beautiful paintjob.

If we already caught your attention and your eyes are now stuck on the pictures you should know that the company in the UK will sell the one of only six produced for the equivalent of 18,600 USD. And the bike comes with all the possible advantages of a brand new bike and more: zero miles, Suzuki warranty and free Arrow exhausts. How awesome is that?

The answer to the question can be found by looking at the pictures with this police special Suzuki GSX-R 750, a project that could easily become reality as the crowded streets are in more need of a quick response in a hazard situation.

Having its fairing removed, modified fuel tank, front and rear end together with the small final muffler, this motorcycle was transformed into a street fighter with a unique feature: it really is prepared to fight against everything that contradicts the law.

<![CDATA[Yoshimura Suzuki Firstever Wet Test]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/yoshimura-suzuki-firstever-wet-test/


Yoshimura Suzuki team has put an end to their wet test at Dunlop Tires Huntsville, Ala., and finally expressed the formed impressions.

Dunlop’s figure-eight track is equipped with an extensive sprinkler system intended to simulate wet weather conditions and that is exactly what it did yesterday. It provided to the defending AMA Superbike Championship Ben Spies, six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin and two-time AMA Supersports Champion Tommy Hayden a full day of test running in the wet.
Mladin and Hayden tested only their Superbikes while Spies put in laps on both his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbikes and Superstock machines. The three managed to obtain close lap times on their average 9 laps per rider.

“This was an opportunity for all three riders to get more wet weather testing and increase our knowledge for wet weather settings on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000s. It was also an opportunity to test product for Dunlop. Although Ben is running the Superstock bike as well, this test was primarily for Superbikes.” said Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager Don Sakakura.

Mat Mladin:
“I requested this test after getting beat in the rain at Road America. It’s been very good for me because we don’t usually get time to practice in the wet. It’s been good to get a feel for the tires and Dunlop was happy to have us come.”

Ben Spies:
“It’s not so good for me because Mat is practicing starts and riding in the rain! Seriously, it’s been a good test. Even though I feel pretty comfortable in the rain, it can’t hurt to get more time in the wet on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. Also, it’s always good to get a chance to help out Dunlop with tire development.”

Tommy Hayden:
“This wet test has been pretty good. It’s almost like playing. We don’t usually get to ride in the rain. When we do ride in the rain, it’s in a race and then we have to focus on racing. So this gives us a chance to try some new stuff and have some fun.”

As you can see, the riders concluded for my by agreeing that this session of tests is extremely important and it brings them important information on riding in the wet.
