In 2001, Suzuki launched the GSX-750F Katana, a street motorcycle that mixed performance and value in a package that was both manageable and rewarding. The bike featured the right amount of sports bike-natured response and enhanced comfort.
The GSX-750F Katana took the game started by the 600cc Katana to another level with a bulletproof, high-performance engine that produced more horsepower, with just the right amount of sophistication that made it both fun and easy to maintain.
The chassis was dressed in an aerodynamic fairing with a compact design that maintained a comfortable, sporting ride position, with twin headlights and an attractive sporting look.
Other features of the bike included the large capacity fuel tank, aluminum passenger grab bar, teardrop-shaped rearview mirrors, an adjustable front brake lever, and a large and easy-to-read instrument cluster with readings such as the speedometer, LCD odometer clock, and fuel gauge.
In the power department, the 750F Katana featured large intake and exhaust valves, digital ignition, and a stainless steel four-into-one exhaust system tuned for low-mid-range power delivery.
The 2001 Suzuki GSX-750F Katana had its heartbeat set by a 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 92 hp at 10,500 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 8,500 rpm. The model featured a six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 230 kph (143 mph).
