2018 Suzuki GSX-S750 - First Ride Review | OVERDRIVE

The Suzuki GSX-S750 is a CKD-assembled 750cc inline four-powered sport naked that promises to be a great motorcycle for new riders graduating to their first big displacement super bikes. To that end, it replaces the old GSR750 in most markets and takes the stunning K5 GSX-R750 engine and makes a beautifully pitched 750 that has genuine performance, extraordinary manners, a sense of utter trustworthiness and crucially for new riders, ABS and traction control as standard. And it's just Rs 7.45 lakh ex-Delhi! Amazing? Watch the video and tell us what you think.

[@SteeeveO]

At the start I thought "what's Juan Pablo Montoya testing suzuki's for"?

[@m.rraghav817]

13-15 kgs lighter would have been ideal

[@shu_mar]

Yup! Agreed!

[@kkhalifah1019]

Great excuse to swap out to a titanium full system - it'll get rid about that amount of weight.

[@jimperry4420]

Or lose some weight fat ass, lol.

[@m.rraghav817]

@@jimperry4420 I should

[@PRO2358]

All we want is a Suzuki 300 cc twin !

[@exothermal.sprocket]

It's gotta be north of 350cc by now, as the displacement game is creeping up.

[@GroovyStyleUnbox]

I'm in love with this baby, even the stock exhaust is lit

[@damodaraomalley3974]

I agree except the exhaust part

[@m.rraghav817]

Can't imagine this with a Yoshi slip on, would be a dream, genuinely looking to own one.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Exhaust has to go and an optional cowling to cover that pillion seat pad.

[@rikkidas4417]

That sound😍😍😍😍😍

[@onwilson2]

Good video. How does it compare with the Honda CB650?

[@mohammedrahailfaraz]

Does it have a quickshifter?

[@kumarr2876]

How does bike look huge and bulky

[@YashrajBhatia]

Hello!
I've made a road test video for this bike over on my channel, if you're interested go take a look!
Thanks

[@aditya9600]

Excellent product for our market.

[@JesusIsLord7773]

My dream bike

[@streethawk_1617]

waooo ! 213kgs.. my fz1 feels light at 207..

[@progste]

Streethawk_1 213 is the weight with full tank

[@marcosreis9615]

Cara oq aconteceu com a balança dourada ?

[@dry509]

Handle, shift, and brake better than Z900? I weigh 215 lbs with gear...which stock is better for me..str, Z900, or this Suzuki? What about the Ninja 400 for fun?

[@lordsalvatore3846]

Cbr 650f as well??? Falling in the same price bracket

[@SatanCSGO]

for someone who is 170 cm and 70 kg is not good?

[@nomustacheguy5249]

@shumi Your personal opinion please ? Since you own the striple 😋 This glorious I4 or that world class triple ?

[@sandyrazr]

ISO is very high, can’t see the details in the video

[@jonathancamba2405]

average fuel consumption?

[@kiranm6749]

Good to someone is appropriately suit.. Haaaa not in t shirt and shirts

[@ashwinsantiago]

This or CBR650F? Could u pls recommend which to go with in terms of reliability, ease of maintenance, minimal track riding and a bit of touring. Also the availability of parts. Although I had the opportunity to test ride the GSX S750 which was brilliant, could not get a test ride for almost 6 months for the CBR 650F. So finding it hard to decide. Do not want to make a wrong decision.
Also, will it be an issue with the Coolant box at the bottom of the GSX considering touring?

[@MikBan]

For touring full fairing bikes are better suited. Having said that, the suzuki comes with the aftermarket windshield that keeps the wind away.. GSX S750 is more value for money.. But for touring only CBR 650F is better suited (although vibrations are there after a certain speed).. Reliability, and Ease of use will be same more or less.. Coolant box doesn't matter.. You can wait for the 2019 CBR 650.. it looks awesome..

[@Pmason718]

Best review of this model on youtube right now good work Sir.

[@mahesharali4738]

Sir this bike is amazing basically i test drive in seawood

[@gauravj6648]

Almost 5 months and no road test. Duh!

[@karthickraja7998]

Thumpsup for those who love shumi after months. One of few gems in Indian auto reviews who drive us with his words. Love u shumi from TN😍😍

[@shu_mar]

Thanks!

[@arvindkrishnan5816]

Good review. honda cbr650f is also competitor.

[@shu_mar]

Not this much fun to ride, not this much power.

[@yipman214]

Can this be an everyday motorcycle?

[@jimbo1485]

YipMan214 absolutely, is designed to be used everyday. Will be great for city riding, sports riding in the hills and an occasional track day.

[@yipman214]

I find the the z900 really comfortable ergonomically. The riding position, the balance of the bike and I think I could ride it to office everyday, was wondering if it's the same with the suzuki.

[@jimbo1485]

YipMan214 you’d have to ride them back to back to see what suited your size. Both are up right nakeds

[@MTNPANTS]

I’ve ride my 2015 model every day

[@shu_mar]

I totally, totally would. Why else would I buy one? Don't have Rs ~9 lakh to spend on weekends only :-P

[@csanvi]

TY Shumi for the crisp first ride! I am a father now, but this bike and You got me thinking again.

[@shu_mar]

Come on come on come on come on....

[@kumarr2876]

Does the bike look bulkier than benelli 600i and the ninja z900

[@shu_mar]

No. Skinnier than the Z900 and a far far far less bulky than the 600i

[@clutch3616]

Please Cover Honda CBR 650F 2018 Model.

[@shu_mar]

Video coming very shortly!

[@SrchangwaytogoC]

How tall is Mr. Marmar?

[@rakeshroshansahoo1380]

hey what about seat height ...is it suit to 5.4 inch rider

[@shu_mar]

Yes, should not be a problem

[@wanderers.t2643]

Osm....
Sir ns 200 ka real average btao plz.......

[@creativeplanet2820]

Now being the gsx-7r or the 6r

[@movietalkiez5650]

Awesome

[@AdithyaNathan]

Boss it's the triumph's street triple not twin! Wathe shame!

[@Ganesh_Wadhwa]

adithya nathan lol

[@anishmahadikz]

They have a Street Twin too.

[@Ganesh_Wadhwa]

Anish Mahadik no shit

[@anishmahadikz]

Ganesh Wadhwa Take Laxatives.

[@AdithyaNathan]

But the Bonnie Street twin is a modern classic can only get smoked by these 100+ ps bikes!

[@MrTransporter5]

We need gsx 250....

[@vishmema]

Doesn't look that attractive

[@Ganesh_Wadhwa]

vishal gupta ikr? something is missing. Should've looked a little more like the S1000, understated yet monstrous.

[@chinarjadhav4061]

Yeah I noticed that too
The headlamp maybe

[@vishmema]

Yes exactly, even the tail section

[@vishmema]

Yes, the price range at which it sells , has some very handsome looking motorcycles.

[@Hsp44]

look at matte black colour

[@mrinalchoudhury7423]

Z900 anyday

[@keloniomannamoinolk7153]

no t. control
no map motor
no radial break

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Doesn't need TC
Doesn't need radial break
Doesn't need maps
Engine is supremely tractable, throttle control is perfect, chassis and suspension feedback is confident and sensitive. You just don't need the expensive throttle-by-wire and electronic nannies. I've owned the Z900.
