GSX-R 750

2001 Suzuki GSX-R 750 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Suzuki's sport motorcycle platform, the 2001 Suzuki GSX-R 750 relies on a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 141 HP (102.9 kW) at 12,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 83.4 Nm (61.5 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 188.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (12,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the GSX-R 750 measures 166 kg (366 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.85 HP/kg (1.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 275 km/h (171 mph).
