GSX 750

1999 Suzuki GSX 750 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1999 Suzuki GSX 750 naked motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 86 HP (62.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 67 Nm (49.4 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 114.8 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the GSX 750 measures 223 kg (492 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.39 HP/kg (2.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 277 km (172 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 208 km/h (129 mph).
