The hotly-anticipated, all-new 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750 thoroughbred sportsbike has landed in Australia, ready to build on the famed GSX-R legend.

After scoring rave reviews when unveiled at motorcycle shows in Brisbane and Adelaide earlier this year, the all-new GSX-R750 continues a legacy dating back to the model’s ground-breaking launch in 1985.

The 2008 GSX-R750 is powered by Suzuki’s most-powerful 750cc four-stroke production engine, and features a new cast-aluminium frame, exciting new styling, and further developments to deliver open-class performance in a compact middleweight-sized package.

“The Suzuki GSX-R750 was the original race replica motorcycle and we’re proud to introduce the all-new 2008 model to Australia,” Perry Morison, General Manager, Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia said.

“With a range of significant developments, the latest generation GSX-R750 is ready to set a new benchmark for street legal supersport motorcycles.

“As the only 750cc superbike in the market, the GSX-R750 is uniquely positioned to provide the perfect balance between street and track use, and forms a key part of Suzuki’s comprehensive range of sportsbikes, designed to meet the needs of every sportsbike rider.”

With a 15,000 rpm redline, the four-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled powerplant is Suzuki’s most efficient and cleanest running production 750cc engine ever, with a new Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system further enhancing performance.

Riders can now better manage the impressive power by instantaneously selecting one of three engine maps to suit the conditions or their riding preferences through Suzuki’s advanced Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS).

Matching the Suzuki’s potent mechanical setup, its lightweight cast-alloy frame is central to an evolutionary new look while delivering superb cornering on the road or racetrack, optimum rigidity and unmatched accuracy.

New Showa inverted cartridge front forks are fully adjustable with high and low speed compression, spring preload and rebound damping, with 120mm of wheel travel.

A 41mm aluminium Showa rear shock absorber with a 14mm rod diameter is fully adjustable with high and low speed compression, spring preload and rebound damping for optimised rider control.

Radial-mount four piston brake calipers, thinner, dual-floating 310mm front discs and a revised front brake master cylinder are part of the impressive brake package on the GSX-R750, which also includes a single 220mm rear disc.

New front 120/70ZR17M/C and rear 180/55ZR17M/C radial tyres have been designed and manufactured specifically for the GSX-R750 by Bridgestone, and are fitted to lighter, more rigid and stronger cast aluminium-alloy wheels.

The GSX-R750 features improved aerodynamics, maintaining rider wind protection while reducing overall drag, resulting from extensive wind tunnel development.

Signalling its intentions with an aggressive and race-like profile, the Suzuki also sports a bold new headlight and re-designed side and rear bodywork.

Suzuki’s sensational 2008 GSX-R750 is now available in Pearl Blue / White, Black / Matt Black or Candy Max Orange / Black liveries for an RRP of $16,490 (inc GST) plus government and dealer charges, backed by a two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
