In 2011 The 750 GSXR Represents More Than A Decade Of Innovations
I remember the time before the 1000cc bikes teared up the asphalt both on public and track roads. Back then a 750 GSXR in the right hands could beat any other machine. Nowadays it looks like the big litre bikes rule the surface of the earth and the 750 class is on the edge of extinction. Suzuki remained the only manufacturer to offer this class of bikes as there is a relatively big market for such machines which fills the gap between the sheer joy of a high revving 600 and a massive front wheel lifting power delivery of a 1000. In the year of 2011 the 750 GSXR is targeting those people precisely who have beginner riding skills but it can just as easily accommodate those who dare to twist the throttle a little bit more. At first glance the spec of the bike is almost identical to it’s little brother. The only exceptions are some internal engine parts and some excess weight which is only 7 pounds more to be precise equalling to 419 with a full tank of petrol. When the time comes for you to be lucky enough to get your hands on the 2011 GSXR 750 the first thing you will notice is that the seating position feels like you rather sit inside the bike than on top of it. The windscreen is tall and wide enough to offer proper protection for taller riders when tucked behind it. The adjustable foot pegs are best to set into the highest position to give you plenty of ground clearance and they won’t compromise the riding comfort either. In the corners the bike feels just as light as the GSXR 600 and as the brakes are the same Brembo monoblock calipers as well they offer consistent grip even after half an hour of track riding. Obviously the biggest noticeable difference from the smaller class is the brute power of the engine. The fuel injection is very precise resulting in a smooth ever growing of power build up without any sudden surprises. The significant strength can be felt at all rpm levels. Most riders are familiar with the feeling when the revs are about to reach around 14000rpm because the GSXR 750 will give you a little bit of room to play with the engine and longer enjoy the exstatic scream of this technological artwork. I see very little reason to go with the 600 as this bike offers identical handling values with a bonus 25 horsepower for an additional $400. So why not stop procrastination and get your hands on one before the shelves will be cleared.
