News release

Suzuki is the brand for riders who demand top performance and who will not accept compromise for their street-riding experience. Bringing a new level of performance to inline four-cylinder streetbikes, Suzuki is excited to introduce the 2015 GSX-S750 and GSX-S750Z, motorcycles that are sure to shake up the popular “streetfighter” class. These 750cc thrillers delivered balanced performance that is bred from the heritage of the GSX line and reimagined for the street.

With an upright seating position, matte silver painted handlebars, and potent 749cc fuel-injected inline four engines, the GSX-S750 and 750Z are ready to carve corners and turn heads out on the street.

The Suzuki 749cc engine powering these bikes is perfectly tuned to deliver an ideal power curve for street riding. Everything from the engine’s cam profiles, to the intake and exhaust tracts are designed to boost low-end torque and mid-range power. This gives the GSX-S750 unmatched throttle response and intense acceleration. Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection ensures crisp and consistent performance.

The bike’s frame design combines the advantages of a compact tubular streetbike frame and a twin-spar sportbike frame. Dual front disc brakes use floating 310mm discs, and the rear uses a 240mm disc. The bike’s instrument cluster uses an analog tach and a large digital LCD speedo. It’s packed with other informative readouts, and is adjustable for brightness.

The GSX-S750 is available in Metallic Matte Black. The GSX-S750Z features striking Metallic Triton Blue and Pearl Glacier White bodywork. This special package also includes gold-anodized outer fork tubes, red anodized fork adjuster bolts, a red shock spring and blue chain.

The suggested retail price is equally amazing. The GSX-S750 carries an MSRP of $7,999, and the special GSX-S750Z will retail for a suggested $8,149.

As a special preview, Suzuki presents three early-release 2016 streetbikes with distinctive GSX heritage. The Suzuki GSX-S1000, GSX-S1000 ABS, and GSX-S1000F ABS represent bold steps to bring legendary GSX-R inline four performance and design from the track directly to the street.

The naked-style GSX-S1000 is equipped with angular radiator shrouds that enhance the aggressive image and aid cooling performance. It features a single headlight.

For riders who desire a full fairing on their street sportbike, Suzuki also offers the 2016 GSX-S1000F ABS, which takes the performance of the GSX-S1000 and adds a fairing, a short windscreen and a dual-headlight face. In addition, both the GSX-S1000/F ABS models feature Suzuki’s digital Antilock Brake System (ABS) that monitors wheel speed and matches stopping power to available traction.
