You have to wonder why that is? When the competitors are bringing brand new bikes to the segment, surely people are happy to spend the money on mid-range bikes in the showrooms. In Suzuki’s defence, it has the SV650 and the V-Strom 650, which are fantastic bikes in their own way, but there’s got to be room for more GSXs in the fleet.
What is it?
Regardless of what’s happening in the market around it, the GSX-S750 is a delightful bike. It manages to have that ‘big bike’ presence and plenty of poke to get a move on, but at the same time not carry a huge amount of weight (213kg wet) and not be loaded full of electronics like the litre-bikes tend to be.
In terms of looks, there’s not much separating the 750 from the big GSX-S1000. It has the same sculpted appearance, and to me it even looks a little more sporty.
This is no bargain bin special either. There are quality components such as the radial Nissin brake callipers and floating discs. Brake lever is adjustable, although the clutch is not. Mirrors are fairly vibe-free, but could be a little further apart to give a clearer view to the rear rather than showing a big chunk of your own shoulder.
