In 2007, Suzuki launched the GSX-750F Katana, a sports motorcycle that proved its longevity through strong demand in the market.
The machine was almost unchanged from the previous iteration, which meant the bike was still powered by an air/oil-cooled engine, carbureted fuel delivery, and still offered solid street ability. The similarities with the Gixxer series were overshadowed by the resemblance of the bike with the Hayabusa model.
The bike featured fluid rounded shapes, with a lower part of the fairing finished in a different color for an eye-pleasing two-tone livery, and the oval white-lens front turn signals were more eloquent than anything.
The bike’s chassis consisted of a double cradle steel pipe frame which featured a 41 mm three-way adjustable telescopic fork on the front. On the rear, it packed a link-type suspension with a fully adjustable spring pre-load and damping force and a four-way adjustable rebound.
The braking power was achieved by a couple of two-piston calipers with two 290 mm discs mounted on the front wheel and a two-piston caliper that squeezed a single 250 mm disc mounted on the rear wheel.
In the power department, the 2007 Suzuki GSX-750F Katana took its thrust from 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 at 8,500 rpm.
