Nissin instead of Tokico, fixed instead of floating calipers: the brake now works very well. However, nothing changed in the control behavior of the ABS. It still intervenes early and works at rough intervals.

Sound engineering by means of additional holes in the airbox. The lower two round holes were added, the elongated lower slot became larger. This makes the intake noise of the four-cylinder appear dull and throaty.

Suzuki GSX-S 750 in the HP driving report
Fiery four-cylinder
Content of
The Suzuki GSX-S 750 looks martial in the pictures, in the data sheet with 114 PS and 81 Nm with a full tank of 213 kg almost reserved. Is the truth somewhere in the middle? The first PS test of the Suzuki GSX-S 750 clarifies that!
Moooaab, the Suzuki pulls itself with deep intake throats GSX-S 750 fresh air through its large nostrils. Sound engineering via additional holes in the airbox. That sounds evil, rebellious, threatening. And everyone is happy who shares these attributes. If the person also likes the shrill screeching high-revving four-cylinder, he or she cannot ignore the Suzuki GSX-S 750. Why? Because the new Suzuki GSX-S 750 replaces the GSR 750 and no other brand has this displacement class anymore. Kawasaki is retiring the Z 800 this year, and the FZ8 / Fazer8 from Yamaha have long since ceased to appear in the sales lists. And Honda? Hasn’t had anything in the program for a long time, not to mention the Europeans.

Fiery four-cylinder
Suzuki GSX-S 750 with 114 hp
So now the Suzuki GSX-S 750 stands alone on the ground and has to assert itself very soon against the strong competition with two and three cylinders. Aware of this, Suzuki worked hard on the four-in-line. In its basic form, it comes from the super sports car GSX-R 750 from 2005 and, when modified, already fueled the GSR. Significant innovations for this year: engine speed increased by 500 rpm to 10,500 rpm at rated output, new 10-hole injection nozzles, connecting holes in the crankcase for less pumping losses. These measures are intended to give the new one an additional eight lively ponies and thus increase the power to 114 hp. A new exhaust (no valve control) with the catalysts of the big sister GSX-S 1000 complete the hardware changes on the engine side. For a jagged start, Suzuki also reduced the rear of the 750 by a tooth. But what’s the point?
Video: sound check and presentation
All electronics can be freely selected while driving
First of all, disappointingly little. Especially with a sporty driving style, the Suzuki GSX-S 750 up to 7,000 rpm seems a bit sapless, gripping dynamics only pretend the mentioned intake noise. After this brand, however, that changes suddenly. Then the naked bike suddenly comes alive and shoots wildly through the area. Hungry, the quadruplet keeps turning, only the speed limiter of 12,000 rpm puts an end to the orgy. What a ride! Restrained beginning, heavy finale – typically super athletes. The vibrations that are always present are also characteristic, which sworn fans can easily put away. Especially since the drive with traction control now offers a delicious new feature.
However, the system surprised with an unusual peculiarity. When wheeling over a knoll, it completely interrupted the thrust and only released the power again after the pilot had completely closed the throttle. According to the manufacturer, a pure safety measure that only takes effect when the TC has to make major corrections and not only closes the throttle valve, but also sets it to retarded ignition. However, the electronics only regulated so vehemently once, otherwise they impressed on all three levels with short intervals. Unicycle acrobats watch out: the Suzuki GSX-S 750 only allows proper wheelies with deactivated TC. Fortunately, all levels, including the on-off function, are freely selectable while driving – great!
The predecessor’s tab brakes are a thing of the past
Modern times also apply to the brakes of the new Suzuki GSX-S 750. Radially screwed four-piston fixed calipers from Nissin replace the Tokico floating calipers from GSR. In addition, wave discs now adorn the system. It doesn’t bite hard, but it pleases with a decent pressure point and an even, effective effect. No comparison to the slack anchors of its predecessor. No changes in the control behavior of the ABS: The system still intervenes a little early and roughly, and downhill it sometimes allows stoppies – be careful, rollover not ruled out!
On the other hand, it is gratifying that the new Suzuki GSX-S 750 arrows nicely through the corners. Curve swing at its finest. Only sensitive natures attest to her having a slightly nervous touch when turning. Bridgestone soles play a major role in easy handling. Together with Suzuki, the tire manufacturer developed the current sports rubber S 21 in the special specification “G”. A little more pointed at the front, 500 grams lighter at the back and each equipped with a different substructure, the rubbers skilfully conceal the weight, which has increased by three to 213 kilograms (factory specification). The mass can only be felt when turning in alternating curves. A characteristic of this type of bike is the suspension that tends to be comfortable. Nevertheless, the chassis of the Suzuki GSX-S 750 copes surprisingly well with sporty inserts to a certain extent. Also typical for this price category: the fork and shock absorber could respond more sensitively.
Styling Suzuki GSX-S 750
The styling of the Suzuki GSX-S 750 is now based on the GSX-S 1000 and separates the camps into opponents and supporters. “Boring, seen everything before,” says one group. An “exciting predator design” attests to the other. Here everyone has to make up their own mind. New hope for Suzuki? In any case, the direction is right for fans of these engine characteristics.
