Arrived in French dealerships in 1989 (introduced in Japan in 1988), the Suzuki GSX 750 F, first of the name, arrives to fill a void in the range of the Japanese manufacturer..
The GSX-R 750 had in 1985 ruined the career of the GSX-ES and EF by making these motorcycles of barely 2 years old, with certain qualities, completely obsolete.. These two sporty models, but with intact road qualities, disappeared from the catalog in 1987, leaving room only for the GSX-R super sports car. The absence of modern 750cc road alongside the sporty and the big sporty road GSX1100F leaves a great place for competition (Honda VFR 750, Kawasaki GPX or Ducati Paso).
To fight again on the terrain of sporty roadways, Suzuki does not go all the way, takes the best of its range and is inspired by the competition, while maintaining the course of its ultra-competitive price policy. . Thus, the 4cylinders will be that of the GSX-R of 1988 and is modified to meet the road requirements of the F: more flexibility and better performance at intermediate speeds (to the detriment of power at the top of course). The power still reaches 100 hp at 10,500 rpm (The announced power will subsequently go to 92 hp) for a torque of 7.5 mkg 1,000 rpm lower. Such a box immediately raises the little news to the level of the luxurious Honda VFR. Less flexible than the Honda V4, it has kept part of the angry character of the R and offers high-level performance (+230 km / h).
For the chassis, Suzuki was content to develop a perimeter frame (with removable double cradle) in steel, simple, inexpensive in production but effective. The conventional 41 mm diameter fork has a travel of 125 mm, as does the single shock absorber adjustable for rebound and preload. The agreement of the suspensions and the geometry of the frame ensures a good compromise between handling and stability without being exempt from any reproach (fork a little flexible).
The braking part, meanwhile, is made up of a dual 290 mm disc at the front clamped by 2-piston calipers and a single 250mm disc (single-piston caliper) at the rear. These components provide effective braking, reassuring for beginners but sometimes considered lacking in bite and endurance by the more athletic..
The whole shows a very good homogeneity, making the machine pleasant to pilot and accessible to the greatest number within the framework of a purely road use..
The aesthetics somewhat ape the competition with a casing that completely encloses the mechanical parts of the machine, like the Honda CBR or Ducati Paso. The line nevertheless remains sufficiently original to be recognized immediately. Rounder, more collected than a VFR, it is left behind by the Honda family (VFR and CBR) in the field of perceived quality and finish. The quality of plastics is less happy than the competition and they scratch and age faster. Suzuki is paying here for its low price policy. The colors, them, remained rather sober (black, gray, red), although the F suffered like the rest of the range, the “Tag” decorations of the years 1992-1993..
By offering a sporty road 25% less expensive (44,096 FF in 1990) than its direct competitor (57,996 FF for a VFR, the same year), the manufacturer was very quickly excused of the small shortcomings of finish or equipment (lack of watch, central stand …). Proof of its success, this first GSX 750 F will remain in the catalog of the French importer until 1998, when its first major aesthetic development was released. Its technical characteristics changed very little during these 9 years, draping itself over time in an economical, reliable and uneventful road suit, leaving others to fight on the field of sporting road cars (Suzuki RF 600 & RF 900 released in 1993 and 1994 respectively).
