In 2008, Suzuki launched the GSX-R750, a supersport bike that maintained the traditional optimum balance of the GSX series. The 2008 GSX-R750 design moved forward with a careful refinement of the engine and chassis matched with Suzuki features at the time.
The GSX-R received a three-position selectable engine mode that was first available on the 2007 GSX-R1000, called Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) which proved to be very useful on the R750 model. Also, the bike got an electronically controlled steering damper that indicates the amount of damping force based on the motorcycle’s speed.
In the power department, the bike featured four titanium valves per cylinder and a new dual-injector system where one injector was working all the time, and the other jumped in with more fuel to enhance the performance at high revs and high load conditions.
The 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 750 powered by a 749cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 150 hp at 13,200 rpm and 86 Nm (63 lb-ft) of torque at 11,200 rpm managed by Suzuki’s latest engine management software, was sending the power to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.
The cast aluminum wheels of the bike were significantly lighter by 430 grams (almost one pound), and the brake system was lighter thanks to the thinner discs with smaller mounting bolts. The overall dry weight of the bike reached 167 Kg (368 lbs).
