The GSX-S750 arrived in 2017 with limited expectations and very little fanfare. Replacing the dowdy but surprisingly goodhandling GSR750, the GSX-S750 aimed to up Suzuki's middleweight's game through revisions to not only its styling, but also to its handing, tech level and performance. While that all seemed very well and good on paper, the issue was more the fact that to achieve this goal, Suzuki hadn't really done anything that ground-breaking. And that was a problem because the opposition had moved the goalposts...
With no GSX-S600 model, the GSX-S750 was meant to fit into the firm's model range as its middleweight contender. Priced at a mid-point between the budget middleweight models such as the best-selling Yamaha MT-07 and the class-leaders such as the Triumph Street triple 765 range, the GSX-S750 fell into an awkward middle ground that saw it too expensive and powerful to appeal to newer riders and yet not powerful or tech-heavy enough to tempt those away from the pricier models.

DAN LINFOOT THE WORLD AT HIS FEET...
The racing world is full of characters who generally like to keep themselves to themselves, and I respect that. However, some of these people have a great story to tell. I'm incredibly fortunate to be friends with a few, have access to many more, and through my role with the award-winning podcast Chasin' the Racing, I get to sit down and chew the fat with some amazing individuals, so I wanted to give you lovely bunch a peep through the keyhole and an opportunity to get to know a bit more about some of these 'people of interest'.

It's not every day you get the invite to trade paint, drifts and stories with Rossi and a bunch of world champions, but that's how life played out for the Neave twins a few weeks back.
RATING RUBBER...
We love a tyre launch, and especially ones of a sporty disposition. So when Michelin dropped us a line about not one, but two additions to their range, we didn't need our arm twisting to get stuck in and see what they're all about...
