07 GSXR 750 Review

Building on the passion and dedication found in all GSX-R machines, the ‘07 GSX-R750 combines the outstanding size and handling of a 600 with the mind-numbing performance of a liter-class machine. The GSX-R750 utilizes a compact chassis, complete with an aluminum-alloy twin-spar frame built with optimum rigidity and maximum handling performance in mind. Rake and trail specifications have been chosen for razor sharp handling and the aluminum frame uses five cast sections for maximum control during production.
Forks are inverted 41mm Showa units with rebound, compression and preload adjustability for maximum rider control and a carbonized titanium fork coating for reduced friction losses of 15 percent. A braced aluminum swingarm works with a Showa rear shock absorber and an innovative rear linkage system with a forged aluminum link that pivots on the swingarm itself with a one-piece forged aluminum link rod connected to the frame. The rear shock absorber features adjustable preload and rebound settings along with adjustable high and low speed compression settings for optimum suspension tuning. Brakes feature a radial pump master cylinder and 310mm rotors up front and a lightweight single piston rear caliper.
Powering the GSX-R750 is a 749cc inline, water cooled, DOHC, four-cylinder engine with Suzuki fuel injection and an ultra-compact under-engine exhaust system. Bore and stroke measurements are 70.0mm x 48.7 with a compression ration of 12.5:1 and twin injector, 42mm Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injectors provide fuel and unmatched throttle control. Connecting rods are shotpeened chrome-moly steel and utilize a crankshaft designed with increased inertia for improved cornering performance and stability. Downshifts are a breeze with the proven slipper clutch system as found on the powerful GSX-R1000.
In an effort to maximize mass centralization for optimum handling performance, the GSX-R750 utilizes an innovative under-engine exhaust chamber. The all-new system offers the ultimate benefits of mass centralization with the exhaust system mounted completely under the engine, and provides an aggressive new look for the GSX-R750. The new exhaust system also uses the proven Suzuki Exhaust Tuning system for maximum torque.
Countless hours of wind tunnel testing have helped shape the look of the GSX-R750 resulting in a reduction in frontal area, decreased drag and a sharp overall look. The compact front fairing features an aggressive design, and when combined with the sharply styled fuel tank, upswept tail section with integrated turn signals creates an unmistakable and purposeful new look for the GSX-R750. All this combined with the new under-engine exhaust system create an aggressive and stylish look for the GSX-R750 along with unmatched aerodynamic performance.
It is possible to have it all with the GSX-R750. It is the perfect balance of unmistakable style, unmatched engine performance and world class handling. The 2007 GSX-R750 – the legacy continues.
