The GSX-750F Katana was a street motorcycle that mixed performance and value in a package that was both manageable and rewarding. The model was suited for weekday commuting due to its great comfort while it retained enough of its sporty nature for canyon fun and more aggressive riding.
The GSX-750F took everything further than the 600cc Katana with a bulletproof, high-performance engine that produced more horsepower, with just the right amount of sophistication that made it a fun bike to ride and easy to maintain.
Still, the Katana was also good for longer hauls with its optional equipment and accessory such as the luggage system, and due to its fairing and windscreen that offered good protection against the elements.
In 2003, Suzuki released a new model of the GSX-750F Katana, a real sport Suzuki motorcycle in a street, all-rounder trim, that introduced a redesigned tail section, with a new taillight and cowl for better looks.
The model rolled on three-spoke hollow aluminum wheels shod with Z-rated radial tires and equipped with two 290 mm floating discs paired to a couple of two-piston calipers on the front and a single 240 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the rear.
The power figures of the 2003 GSX-750F Katana were given by a 748cc four-cylinder DOHC 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 bike reached a top speed of 230 kph (143 mph) due to its engine power combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 211 kg (465 lbs).
