2006 Suzuki GSX-R750K6 7th Generation Suzuki GSX-R750: New frame, swingarm and motor

The 7th Generation of the Suzuki GSX-R750 featured a major update and design queues from the Suzuki GSX-R1000. New frame and swingarm and motor with engine stroke increased, transmission stacked and a new stubby, low-slung exhaust. Brake rotors went from 300mm to 310mm. Horsepower increased to 150hp.Weight is now down to 163 kg, thanks to a re-designed frame and chassis.

 

New Engine
All new compact & lightweight 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed for overall weight reduction, optimum combustion efficiency and power delivery

Re-designed cylinder head with narrower valve angles creating a more compact combustion chamber design, higher 12.5:1 compression ratio, large intake and exhaust ports for improved intake and exhaust efficiency and high power output

Valve bucket diameters are increased to work with more aggressive camshafts

Lightweight titanium valves with steel alloy springs and aluminum spring retainers operated by thin-wall hollow camshafts to reduce weight and inertia

Lightweight forged aluminum alloy pistons with short skirts, cut away sides and an anti-friction surface finish along with shotpeened chrome-moly steel connecting rods for improved strength

One-piece cylinder block and upper crankcase section is equipped with larger 39mm ventilation holes between cylinders to reduce crankcase pressure and mechanical loss

Tapered, larger 50mm double-barrel throttle body design features Suzuki’s SDTV throttle valve system, plus twin multi-hole-type injectors per cylinder for optimum performance and throttle response

Crankshaft features forged steel construction and a new secondary balancer shaft for reduced vibration at high rpm.

Crankshaft and transmission shaft positions are revised to create a more compact engine design and the engine itself is rotated slightly forward in the chassis allowing for straighter and shorter intake and exhaust ports

New back torque limiting clutch allows smoother downshifts and works in conjunction with an updated six speed transmission with revised internal gear ratios and updated shift forks

Innovative new Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) with new under engine muffler layout and Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for improved mass centralization, superior aerodynamics, and improved low-to-mid range performance

High capacity large trapezoidal-shaped radiator provide efficient engine cooling – includes compact cooling fan assembly designed for improved air flow

A new Idle Speed Control (ISC) system improves cold starting and stabilizes engine idle speed in a variety of conditions

SRAD ( Suzuki Ram Air Direct) force feeds cool, pressurized air into the airbox at highway speeds, improving engine efficiency and throttle response


New Chassis
All new ultra-lightweight frame is built entirely of aluminum alloy castings and is engineered to deliver optimum rigidity, unmatched accuracy and maximum cornering performance

New aluminum alloy braced swingarm features increased rigidity, a larger 25mm swingarm pivot and is now 38mm longer for improved rider feel and better rear wheel traction

RM-Z450 inspired new rear suspension linkage utilizes a forged aluminum alloy link and a forged aluminum link rod that reduces side loads and helps the rear shock absorber move in a smooth arc

New inverted 41mm Showa cartridge front forks are fully adjustable for spring preload, compression damping, and rebound damping

Showa rear shock absorber with a 46mm piston and larger 16mm rod moves the same amount of oil despite a shorter stroke and provides adjustable rebound damping, compression damping and preload settings

New larger 310mm brake discs work with radial mount calipers and radial front brake master cylinder. A new rear brake caliper is 100 grams lighter

Bridgestone radial tires are mounted on new cast aluminum wheels featuring redesigned, thinner spokes with optimized wall thickness to reduce unsprung weight

All new aggressive and aerodynamic bodywork gives the GSX-R750 an all new look and when combined with integrated turn signals and smaller frontal area provide a 5% increase in aerodynamic efficiency

Compact, lightweight instrument cluster features a step motor controlled analog tachometer, LCD speedometer, dual trip meters, clock and convenient new gear position indicator

2007 Suzuki GSX-R750K7

GSX-R is more than a model designation.

When the first GSX-R750 was introduced more than two decades ago, it defined an entirely new category of motorcycle: The true racer replica. For more than 20 years, the GSX-R750 has been a direct link between the racetrack and the street.

It is a revolutionary motorcycle that changed production- based racing forever. Filling racing paddocks around the globe, and driving would-be competitors from the grid. A machine so dominant that other brands abandoned the 750cc racing class because they could not compete.

The GSX-R slogan, Own The Racetrack, is based solidly in fact. Say GSX-R750, and the world thinks of a racebike with lights, with the best possible balance of engine and chassis performance.

For 2007, the latest version of the legendary GSX-R750 continues to relentlessly advance high-performance technology. Combining the responsive torque and broad, smooth powerband of a heavyweight with the compact size and easier handling of a middleweight. Now more compact . More powerful. More aerodynamic.

Built to Own The Racetrack. With street equipment added.

From a Press Release:

2007 Suzuki GSX-R750

Introducing the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R750, built to be the incredibly fast, unbelievably nimble and offering unmatched performance for the true sportbike rider.

Building on the passion and dedication found in all GSX-R machines, the ‘07 GSX-R750 combines the outstanding size and handling of a 600 with the mind-numbing performance of a liter-class machine.

The GSX-R750 utilizes a compact chassis, complete with an aluminum-alloy twin-spar frame built with optimum rigidity and maximum handling performance in mind. Rake and trail specifications have been chosen for razor sharp handling and the aluminum frame uses five cast sections for maximum control during production.

Forks are inverted 41mm Showa units with rebound, compression and preload adjustability for maximum rider control and a carbonized titanium fork coating for reduced friction losses of 15 percent. A braced aluminum swingarm works with a Showa rear shock absorber and an innovative rear linkage system with a forged aluminum link that pivots on the swingarm itself with a one-piece forged aluminum link rod connected to the frame. The rear shock absorber features adjustable preload and rebound settings along with adjustable high and low speed compression settings for optimum suspension tuning. Brakes feature a radial pump master cylinder and 310mm rotors up front and a lightweight single piston rear caliper.

Powering the GSX-R750 is a 749cc inline, water cooled, DOHC, four-cylinder engine with Suzuki fuel injection and an ultra-compact under-engine exhaust system. Bore and stroke measurements are 70.0mm x 48.7 with a compression ration of 12.5:1 and twin injector, 42mm Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve fuel injectors provide fuel and unmatched throttle control. Connecting rods are shotpeened chrome-moly steel and utilize a crankshaft designed with increased inertia for improved cornering performance and stability. Downshifts are a breeze with the proven slipper clutch system as found on the powerful GSX-R1000.

In an effort to maximize mass centralization for optimum handling performance, the GSX-R750 utilizes an innovative under-engine exhaust chamber. The all-new system offers the ultimate benefits of mass centralization with the exhaust system mounted completely under the engine, and provides an aggressive new look for the GSX-R750. The new exhaust system also uses the proven Suzuki Exhaust Tuning system for maximum torque.

Countless hours of wind tunnel testing have helped shape the look of the GSX-R750 resulting in a reduction in frontal area, decreased drag and a sharp overall look. The compact front fairing features an aggressive design, and when combined with the sharply styled fuel tank, upswept tail section with integrated turn signals creates an unmistakable and purposeful new look for the GSX-R750. All this combined with the new under-engine exhaust system create an aggressive and stylish look for the GSX-R750 along with unmatched aerodynamic performance.

It is possible to have it all with the GSX-R750. It is the perfect balance of unmistakable style, unmatched engine performance and world class handling. The 2007 GSX-R750 – the legacy continues.
