Suzuki Motorcycles India has unveiled its second
made-in-India product, the Suzuki GSX-S750 at the 2018 Auto Expo.
The Suzuki GSX-S750 marks the Japanese brand’s foray
into the middle-weight naked motorcycle segment. It enters the country via CKD
route, like the Hayabusa. The motorcycle has an aggressive styling, with
upswept lines, muscular tank and a sleek tail section complementing the fat
180-section rear rubber.
The engine is a 749 cc in-line four unit with liquid
cooling and fuel injection. In the UK market, it punches out 114 PS at 10,500
rpm, and 81 Nm at 9,000 rpm. The engine mates with a 6-speed gearbox, and key
electronic features include three-mode traction control; low-rpm assist; and
Suzuki Easy Start System. Instrumentation is fully digital.
The Suzuki GSX-S750 rides on KYB upside down front
fork, and a link-type rear monoshock. For braking, it uses Nissin radial
callipers with 310 mm twin petal discs and a rear disc, both with ABS. The
motorcycle weighs 213 kg, kerb, and has a 16-litre fuel tank. The chief rivals
for the Suzuki GSX-S750 would be the Triumph Street Triple range, Kawasaki Z900
and Yamaha MT-09.
