presentation of the GSR 750 2011
so here it is, the famous GSR 750. Suzuki's roadster has entered the battle of the "new mid-size" riders, those who were fed up with the lack of torque on their 600cc bikes. The Z 750 had paved the way, the FZ8 recently retaliated, and now it's time for this GSR to join the fray. The weapons are the same: a mean face, a bad-boy silhouette, inverted forks and a 3/4-liter 4-cylinder. The latter, however, stands out. The kawa is a derivative of the ZX-9R's antique mill, the Yam is derived from the R1, and the Suz boiler comes from the sporty GSX-R 600. The little gixer originally gave its mill to the 600 GSR - the 750 installed here is derived from it, with different dimensions - larger bore and stroke. Power will be the same for all: 106 hp. The main attraction, of course, is the extra torque, making this streetfighter much fuller and more generous than the GSR 600 (which is no less lively).
suzuki has designed a new perimeter frame with a non-removable rear loop. The square-tube swingarm is distressingly banal, while the inverted fork has no adjustment (ah, savings). That said, if the suspension is properly adjusted, there's already plenty to laugh about. A new, much sexier dashboard hides behind an aggressive and successful fork head, but the whole machine lacks the charisma to really stand out from its competitors. On the other hand, the GSR doesn't need any lessons in efficiency and pleasure. Its lively, powerful engine is a pleasure to use, and its chassis holds up to comparison. A great coup from Suzuki.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 49 reviews
It never caused me any particular problems, started in all weathers and temperatures, summer and winter alike, has superb road holding, and even without ABS (who really needs it?). It brakes hard when it needs to (and I'm not light!).
Honestly, I don't know what else I could say or write. It just does what you expect a motorcycle to do: get you from point A to point B, and have fun doing it! :) Rating : 5/5 Respond to Grizzly
Thanks to a biker friend, I was able to judge the limits of a 600 Bandit (boredom sets in after 1 or 2 years) and the excessive road-going characteristics of a 2003 Yamaha R1 (impossible to exploit fully and legally!)
In short, I chose the 2016 GSR 750 as my first bike, which seems to be a good compromise on the road
After 6 months of almost daily use, I love it
- very nice design, both sharp and muscular, while remaining discreet (a little less kéké than the Kawazaki Z for my taste)
- i chose a matte black color with a sober red deco kit, whose shiny edging subtly highlights the dynamic shapes,
- very pleasant, restful position (saddle, pedals, handlebars) (especially for my back) >> I'm 1.79m tall, and my feet are perfectly planted on the ground
- ergonomic tank that hugs the legs well and is quite wide (not like a Yamaha MT07, which looks more like a moped)
- excellent handling, even at idle and in curves,
- you really don't feel the weight, with a good center of gravity,
- shocks a little hard but not unpleasant, beware of potholes when cornering, it's shaky but grips really well!
- easy-to-read speedometer (with gear indication)
As for the engine, it's magic for my multi-purpose uses
- the length of each gear is just right, whatever the use,
- very linear and responsive torque at all levels, low and high revs,
- for city use, the first 4 gears are pleasant and sufficient,
- 5th gear is perfect for leisurely journeys up to 50km,
- ditto 6th gear for "settling down" from 70-80km/h,
- in sportier modes, 2nd rises nimbly to 140km/h, with a second burst of exhilarating power after 8,000 rpm,
- the previous owner (a policeman) fitted a Scorpion pot, which reveals a very good, ultra-linear 4-stroke sound, really reasonable in decibels at low revs for the neighbors in the morning, quite low and round in neutral, but with a very high-pitched, powerful voice at higher revs!
I haven't used this marvel on the track yet, but I know it's very stable and precise in corners. There's a slight steering feel to it that needs taming on uneven surfaces between 160 and 180km/h. It's a question of habit, confidence and positioning on the bike
Circuit buffs will certainly want more power, but take a look on Youtube, it defends itself! A lot of fun
Only 2 drawbacks
- a bit of an ass-kicking for the passenger (the original separate, raised seat is a bit thin and slippery), especially as I like to sit glued to the tank when riding
- original windscreen not very effective. From 90-100 km/h you have to lean forward to press your torso against the wind and avoid getting "tired". Choose a helmet that's not too noisy too!
Well equipped, ready to hit the gas! (When there's no COVID-19 haha)
Have a good trip. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Boris (30 ans)
I thought the 750 would be better...
Now I've had it for barely 1 month and I find the engine lacking in oomph!
A 3-legged 675 will drop you off if you don't rev it up to the right rpm (above 8000rpm) in the right gear.
A bit disappointing on the engine front, then!
And the braking...what a disaster!
No feeling at all when you grab the lever, spongy lever. You have to pull like a pig to get any braking at all.
And as soon as you get going, there's nothing left: fading appears extremely quickly!
I'm thinking of changing the brake pads, hoses and master cylinder.
The suspensions are a bit rough over bumps, but what a ride!
No straightening when braking from the front in a curve, no inward dive when braking from the rear, a relatively rigid chassis and little or no torsion when spinning the rear tire in a curve; truly impressive for a production bike with such simple technical solutions.
All in all, a good bike; the engine lacks a bit of balloches (they should have left the engine in the full version of the gex) and the braking...absent! Rating : 2/5 Respond to T
I am a novice in motorcycle license that I just acquired and unfortunately I am stuck for 2 years with my Suzuki vstrom DL650 bridled at 34hp!!!! 5thanks mr Macron!!!)
So I'm still interested in other models, especially the GSR 750, which looks really good and from what I've read is a superb bike!
However, the problem is that I'm 1m87 tall and I'm afraid of looking like a toad on this type of bike, but I don't want to settle for a trail bike like the Vstrom!
Could you tell me if any of you already own this bike and are over 1m85 tall, and if you're happy with it (especially in terms of comfort!)
Then, if it's not suitable, could someone please point me in the direction of another model of this type? I'd really like more of a roadster, but not to look like a toad on a matchbox lol!
Thank you very much!
Good evening
Laurent
Ps : Ah yes and eventually is it possible to bridle this bike? given that I am limited to 48 hp for two years! it complicates a little everything! thank you bikers! Rating : 4/5 Respond to Laurent13180
The only problem is the brakes, which aren't powerful enough, especially if you're riding a sport bike, which is a shame!

Without any worries, and even with a passenger, you'll be able to ride a GSR 750.
Have a good trip, and good luck with your driving licence in the meantime. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
I'm really interested in this bike and I'd like to know if it has any manufacturer problems or big negative points? Because when I look at second hand websites, gsr are often sold almost new with not many kilometers on the odometer? Pk?
Thank you in advance for your reply. Seb Rating : 3/5 Respond to Seb 26
All good stuff! Rating : 5/5 Respond to cedside
i ride quite a lot: city, medium trips on main roads and long rides on winding roads... very often in pairs; will the passenger be comfortable with this equipment? that's the only question I ask myself!
the passenger holds on to the handles of the package carrier and can lean a little on the top case when straightening up... what do you think? Rating : 4/5 Respond to Ajax
I've owned a GSR 750 for a year now, and its vocation is to give priority to sensations at the expense of comfort (especially for the passenger).
Adding a package carrier and top case, in addition to the passenger, encourages the rider to put himself forward.
The handlebars are in the street position (forward), which breaks the wrist. What's more, you sometimes have to increase the preload on the rear shock to compensate for the steering. (My cop's only weighs 50kg - no need for me)
In short, the duo is conceivable, but not for long distances...
You're better off with a Bandit 1250, uglier, admittedly, but more comfortable for a duo. Rating : 3/5 Participate in the conversation
On the other hand, the maximum kilometer/hour data is not good. I had the opportunity to push it to 235 km/h and it still wanted more (original bike).
V to all! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Pendragon_Occit
Like you, I've blocked it at 238 and I see a lot of people who take it up to 248 knowing that I've really given it all it's got lol Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

i have a z 750 from 2008 which gives me nothing but happiness but after trying this gsr 2014 I really want to let myself be tempted especially with the 550 euro discount which is currently disappointing Rating : 4/5 Respond to tyto56
I've had my licence since June 2012 but I haven't had the opportunity to drive a "big cube"
Because financially it was just finally now it's better!
I'm really interested in the GSR 750, I really like it!
Is it a good choice? Rating : 3/5 Respond to Jax
I've already put 25,000 km on it, and it's easy to maintain (unlike its direct competitor).
The engine is well filled at the bottom, and sends power to the top.
To compare, it has more torque than the Z750 at the bottom, and about the same power at the top.
Compared with the GSX-R750 K8 full, it's night and day on the start-up and at the bottom, the GSR is more nervous, the Gex catches up and overtakes the GSR at around 170km/h (on a standing start), which is normal with 50hp more. Both the GEX and the GSR have the same gearbox calibration.
Otherwise, the chassis is a real bike, very easy to handle.
Fuel consumption is good, with the original I was running at 4.8L
Negatives: 4-piston front calipers are missing, fairing finish is poor, rear swingarm is low-end, duo is hard on the passenger (uncomfortable seat > 1 hour).
But as soon as you get on it, you forget its cosmetic flaws and love riding it!
As far as information is concerned, the top speed is indeed wrong, with the 6 breaker at 254km/h.
To compare the GSR with the competitors I ride from time to time, it's better than the Z750 in terms of engine and handling, but I'd put it on a par with the Street Triple, which is just as much fun to ride. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Hell Wheel
It seems to me that the GSR 750 can be clamped in 34hp, the old licence for young people. For new riders, it's an A2 license (48hp).
http://www.motoplanete.com/34-cv.php
After that, it depends on the year of the GSR: the 2012 was clampable, the 2013, that's not certain. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
PS/ Motorcyclist since 1962...I've had my share of motorcycles. Rating : 5/5 Respond to lucien
If it's top speed you're after, you may be a little disappointed. It barely gets above 250km/h...enough to be well within the speed limits, that said. On the other hand, if you're looking for torque and a bit of a kick in the ass for a 750, you're in for a real treat for a seven-and-a-half-legged four-wheeler.
Despite its character, this beauty is easy to ride for novices and seasoned bikers alike. Frankly, there's always better, there's always worse, but I'm happy with this one. I'm a fan of nice bikes and like to change them, so I'll end up leaving it, but it'll remain a good memory.
Don't listen to criticism of the finish. It's true that SUSKIKI could have done better, but the brand makes up for it in everything else, so...
Judge for yourself.
