GS750 Gallery
The Suzuki motor
corporation had been doing well with their 2
stroke development and were producing some exciting
triples (GT’s) but saw that the other
manufacturers were moving into 4 stroke multi’s
and decided to produce their own. The GS750
was the first of these new machines in 1976
(the same year as the GS550 and GS400) and they
got it right first time. Although the Suzuki
was similar to the Z900 it was found that the
handling was far superior, with none of the
vagarities and wobbles of the bigger machines
from Kawasaki.
This first model had spoked wheels and a single
calliper brake up front, it produced 72hp at
8500rpm with a 5 speed gearbox with a gear indicator
on the console. In 1977 the GS750DB had a second
front calliper as standard, this model was the
first official model year. In 1978 the GS750EC
gained cast wheels but this was the only big
change. In 1979 the GS750EN was the last of
the 8 valve models as next year a GSX750E was
produced with 16 valves, and in 1980 the GS750
was no more, at the same time as this last model,
a custom bike was produced, the GS750L this
also was replaced with a 16 valve model after
just one year's production run.
Other variations existed in the range with
a GS1000, an GS850 shaft drive used for a while
by many UK police forces, a GS650 shaft drive,
GS550, GS400, GS250 and even GS125. The were
a few other models that were progressions of
some of these models but one thing they all
shared was their strength and longevity and
their only real weakness being the regulator
rectifiers.
