In 1986, Suzuki set the new standard in the sport bike class with the release of the first GSX-R750. A decade later, however, Suzuki’s competitors had caught up, and the once-mighty Gixxer started looking increasingly long in the tooth. So for the 1996 GSX-R750, Suzuki heavily revamped the model with a host of features –- such as a new frame, improved brakes, and wind-tunnel-developed bodywork — which were derived from the firm’s factory race bikes.
Two years later, Suzuki released another significant model update. In 1998, the Gixxer 750 got new cams, lightened internals, a larger air-box with an electronic flapper-valve, CDI ignition coils, revised gearbox ratios, and electronic fuel injection. A steering damper also became a standard amenity and a handful of new graphics packages were introduced. The changes resulted in the GSX-R’s now-fuel-injected liquid-cooled, 749cc, DOHC, 16V, inline-four engine to produce 60.5 ft-lbs of torque at 10,300rpm and 134hp at 12,000rpm, (1,500rpm short of red-line).
After the turn of the century, progress slowed, but Suzuki kept refining its product with incremental (but impactful) tweaks. Along with a more capable ECU, the GSX-R750 also got a wider rear wheel, an adjustable swingarm, as well as titanium valves. On the road, this resulted in 127.3hp, 58.2lb-ft of torque, and a 14,500-rpm redline. Dry weight for the 2008 model came in at 359lbs, making it one of the lightest Gixxers ever produced.
