The 2012 Suzuki GSX-R750 sportsbike is the latest direct link between the racetrack and the streets.

With a blaring new colour scheme, the new $16,990 model continues a legacy dating back to the bike's launch in 1985, where it took race replica motorcycles to a new level. 

It was Suzuki's best-selling sportsbike in 2011 and is a direct link between the racetrack and the streets.

Powered by a 750cc, 4 cylinder engine producing 110kW of power, the 2012 model features the latest Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system, delivering sharper throttle response along with improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.

The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) optimises engine output and provides riders a selection of two engine maps to suit the conditions or their riding preference. 

The GSX-R750's chassis has been designed with an emphasis on weight reduction and compactness to improve overall handling and provide an ideal power-to-weight ratio. 

The lightweight twin-spar aluminium frame, made from just five cast sections and cast swingarm, delivers superb cornering on both the road and racetrack, with optimal rigidity and unmatched accuracy. 

The GSX-R750 features inverted, lightweight Showa Big Piston Front-forks (BPF), developed on the racetrack for even more supreme handling. 

For greater stopping performance four-piston Brembo monoblock front brake calipers and 310mm dual floating discs are fitted along with a single piston rear brake caliper with a 220mm disc. 

The full function instrument cluster features an analogue tachometer, digital LCD speedometer and LED indicators, with a stopwatch and lap timer.
