80s charm: The robust running athlete’s engine is in the steel profile frame and needs speeds. It should be at least 6000 to 7000 rpm.

Comfort zone: The telescopic fork, which is almost too softly tuned, can be adjusted in the rebound damping (rebound). The picture shows the 1999 model.

Stability pact: the fully adjustable central spring strut plays a major role in the good handling. The GSX 750 F is comfortable, stable and accurate.

Old school: Analog instruments provide all the information, but the fuel gauge is quite imprecise. The light is rather mediocre, the mirror brackets are a bit too short.

Second hand advice Suzuki GSX 750 F
A lot of everyday usability for little money

Can really do a lot, costs rather little – and is still not a used bestseller How can that be? The eye also buys, and there are no two opinions about the Suzuki GSX 750 F sports tourer: beautiful is different.

At first it just looked boring, in its second life the sucked-in and somewhat chubby packaging was almost embarrassing. But who the Suzuki GSX 750 F judged only by her appearance, she is hugely wrong – and above all, she misses out on a great bargain. Because the F, which was intended as a touring alternative to the – at least initially – motorized GSX-R 750, can actually do everything better in normal road traffic than its older Supersport sister and always cost significantly less.

But with a steel profile instead of an aluminum frame and properly protective touring instead of a chic low-flying fairing, it had no chance against the R. Nevertheless, the Suzuki GSX 750 F remained in the range for 17 years and was largely unchanged, which then led to ugly formulations such as “getting old” in comparative tests.

More reliable from 1998

The change to the engine based on Bandit 600 made the Suzuki GSX 750 F more reliable from 1998 onwards, the basic virtues remained: a comfortable and at the same time track-stable and precise chassis as well as a comfortable workplace even on long journeys (at least for drivers up to 1.85 meters). And an engine with 80s charm, that is, a more robust run and the classic bottom-little-and-top-everything coordination.

What makes the Suzuki GSX 750 F interesting for today’s used buyers is its excellent price-performance ratio. For very little money there is a lot of suitability for everyday use. And the good feeling that it doesn’t matter if she just stands around for a few weeks with insect corpses on the fairing and chain grease on the rear wheel.

You have to like it: Of course there are also people who like such a rear end. However, there are not very many. The real values ​​are under the shell.

The first edition of the Suzuki GSX 750 F (type GR78A), which was built up to 1997, has to struggle with a few aches and pains at an advanced age: Camshaft damage, defective valve stem seals and increased piston wear are not so rare after a mileage of 40,000 kilometers. The black exhaust manifolds like to rot, and corrosion can also be a problem for the steering head bearing. Slight cold start difficulties and a difficult warm-up phase (keyword choke dosage!) Are almost normal.

The completely sucked Suzuki GSX 750 F (from 1998, type AK or WVAK) is much easier to care for, typical (engine) quirks are actually alien to it. Chafing points on the wiring harness make work easier for the electrical system, and there are also defective steering head bearings from time to time. Even more typical: classic damage to the carburetor, so saponified carburetor innards and outdated tires as well as a maintenance jam because the fairing was avoided.

80s charm: The robust running athlete’s engine is in the steel profile frame and needs speeds.

The term “bestseller” in connection with used Suzuki GSX 750 F is rather out of place. In short: the part usually stands a little longer. In the case of the first generation (GR78A) almost exclusively from private providers, dealers understandably shy away from the liability risk with such older semesters – also and especially because the original GSX is not entirely without potential quirks. The second edition, on the other hand, can be found among traders, mostly as a trade-in for little money. A small inspection, a fresh general inspection and new tires are almost always part of the feel-good program that Suzuki dealers offer with “on-board resources”. Those who realistically add the costs to the supposedly cheaper private offers will often find that the bottom line is that buying them privately is rarely cheaper. Buying tip: Take around 2500 euros in your hand and pick up a well-groomed first or second hand sweetheart from 2002 with a maximum of 20,000 kilometers at the dealer – a problem-free all-year-round all-rounder can hardly be found much cheaper.
