Suzuki reviews

Owned two Suzuki Bandit, 600's in my time. SUPER light and reliable commute bike. The sport touring sits upright for the rider making it a comfortable position and very visible to traffic. Going to miss having to sell it (moving out of country). Show less

I’ve owned two Suzuki’s, GSX-R750 and GSX-S750. Whether you’re a past Suzuki owner or new to the brand, you’ve probably heard of the naked version of the legendary GSX-R750--the S750, Suzuki’s 750 Street bike. GSX stands for Suzuki’s Sport Performance series. The S in S750 stands for Street, where the R in GSX-R750 stands for Race. The Gixxer is a Supersport bike built for the Track, where the Gixxus is a Naked bike built for the Street. The Suzuki GSX-S750 is the only motorcycle in its class with an engine with Supersport lineage. It’s the performance leader in its class, slightly bigger than the other middleweights, but much smaller (engine-wise) than the upper-middleweight 900s. It’s in a class all by itself and due to outperforming the middleweights, it’s usually lumped with the 900s in comparison road tests in which it hangs with quite well, but is unfairly underrated, which makes no sense due to its 750-engine size. The Suzuki GSX-S750 is a gorgeous looking motorcycle with sharp angles, but round with curves at the same time. It has a very powerful thick stance. The S750 sports an aggressive, bold, old-school streetfighter look, not overdone like the Z900, more subdued but forceful, a look that never goes out of style – classic. Some of the obvious difference’s b/w the Suzuki and its competitors are its sharp, fang-like mono headlight, fat fuel tank, hidden tidy streetfighter-style LCD display, and standard sporty belly pan. The S750 uses a 2005 GSX-R750-sourced engine (K5), thus a race-bred inline-four. Four-cylinder engines are the best type for all-out performance. With the K5 engine, when you reach the higher rev range, it wakes up and turns into a beast. The GSX-R750 K5 engine has proven to be super-reliable over the years. Being retuned for street use, it delivers a torque-rich experience from low- to mid-range, and once you get past 6,000 rpm, the power delivery turns monstrous, revving up to its 11,500 rpm redline. The S750 is an aggressive old-school streetfighter-style bike. It is truly a best bang-for-the buck motorcycle. Greatest thing about it is its inline-4 K5 engine, smooth and tractable with linear power delivery, unlike the more vibe-prone twins and triples. People that like engine vibration call it “character” – it’s just annoying vibration to me, that’s another reason why I like four-cylinders more – due to their buttery smoothness. And I’d say that the four has better character than the twin or triple, its character is not vibration related, but its eagerness to scream under acceleration. The Suzuki GSX-S750 received a major update in 2018 (upgraded 75% of its components). It was the only time that this model was updated. So, 2018 to 2023 models are all basically the same except for color changes. I’m not going to list out all the significant changes for the 18 model, however, other than a healthy boost in power, an increase of 8-hp, going to mention the revision for sound tuning. It received a bigger airbox which gave it a meatier low-end character. The resulting intake sound is music to the ears when accelerating. It is the best sound that I’ve ever heard from an inline-4. Reminiscent of its GSX-R heritage, it replicates that great burble and growl sound that only the early GSX-R models had. About the weight of the S750, it comes in two versions, one without ABS (base) and the other with ABS (Z). Non-ABS bike weighs 465 lbs. while the ABS version gains 5 lbs. – 470. The Z trim doesn’t offer any performance, suspension, or brake upgrades – everything mechanical and electrical is the same, thus it isn’t a SE (Special Edition). The only difference is that the Z comes with ABS and flashier colors. This is true for every year except for 2023, in which both models are Z’s – one with no ABS and the other with ABS. Acceleration Stats via MotoStatz site: * 0-60 mph: 3.1 s/ 0-80 mph: 4.6 s/ 0-100 mph: 6.76 s/ Quarter mile: 11.24 s/ Top Speed: 142 mph Is this bike right for you? This bike would be most ideal for someone that has some motorcycle experience, not a newbie. Maybe you’ve had a beginner bike, like a 300, 400, 500, or 650, and you’re looking for that next step. It’s more powerful than anything below a 750, in fact it’s the class leader in its middleweight naked bike segment. You’re looking for something with more power in a do-anything bike, an all-rounder, a naked bike. You’re not quite ready for the leap into the 900 category, but you want something that can hang with the big boys if out riding with your friends. You’re not worried about having excessive technological features but want the basic minimums like traction control. You value Japanese reliability, thus want something that’s dependable, not going to have issues or concerns. * Power Specs: 113 hp @ 10,500 rpm (crank)/ 105 hp (rear wheel)/ 60 lb.-ft torque @ 9,000 rpm/ 57 lb.-ft (rear wheel).

Bike is fun, fast, and all around super bike at an affordale price. Great for beginner or as a seasoned rider. Bike is nimble. There is a feeling about bikes that many people share. If a bike is exciting enough for an experienced, talented rider, it will be too intimidating or difficult to ride for a beginner/novice. On the other hand, if a bike is user-friendly enough for a beginner/novice, it will be boring for the experienced or talented rider. Overall, SV handling is very sweet indeed – far better than most expect, in fact, from a budget, middleweight machine. Steering is neutral and precise which, combined with the SV’s slimness and light weight makes it extremely nimble and entertaining. On the downside, the forks are a little underdamped and undersprung and the single rear shock is likely to be worn out and have lost damping by now. If you simply want a cheap commuter that may not matter much. On the other hand, the SV’s success in Minitwins racing means plenty of knowhow and upgrades are available Show less

I bought one new. I rode it to work every day, rain or shine. In 15,000 miles, I never had a problem with it. My only complaints are the low gear ratio of the final drive, the lack of a tachometer, and the lack of a 6th speed gear in the transmission. I loved this bike. Show less

Very fast bike, and for a sports bike , it has a comfortable ride . Live the option of having the back seat or the rear seat cowl as well. It’s also a good and comfortable ride for the person sitting on the back seat. Show less

I liked the comfy seat of this bike. Great for up to 3 hours riding. I also liked that the seat was low at 31", so easy to reach the ground. I got up to 55 mpg out of this bike. I liked the bigger fuel tank at 5.3 gallons versus 3-3,5 for some other bikes. Can go longer during filling up. I got 200-250 miles average per tank. Not much maintenance clean the carbs every 2 years along with regular oil changes. That's about it. Show less
