thestache Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/suzuki/2015-suzuki-gsx-s750-gsx-s750z-preview.html So we knew that with the success of the FZ09, and then the FZ07, Yamaha had to know that competition was coming. So as I look at both the 750 and the 1000 that Suzuki built I have to ask...did they really look at these and say, "Wow that looks cool". Now I know everyone has different tastes, but the 750 might be one of the butt ugliest bikes I have ever seen. I can't imagine being seen on either of their new bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwuki Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't think it looks that bad.... Just dated. In fact, it reminds me of the Yamaha fz8. I think they just threw something together just to compete with the new "naked" street bike offerings. I do however really like the new gsx-s1000. That's a sexy looking bike. http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/10/01/2015-suzuki-gsx-1000-sportbike-motorcycle-updates-and-review-at-intermot-2014/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted October 2, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 2, 2014 I agree, it doesn't have the same elegance and attention to detail that Yamaha put into the 07/09. It's not bad but at $8,000 I don't have any reason at all to give it a second thought before choosing the FZ-07. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamabob Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Ducati is in the game with a naked air-cooled 803cc V-twin priced from $8500 to $10,000...that's right the cast wheels add $1500 to the price.

tom Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Damn to me I think I would rather have this then my FZ-07. I would hate to take the beating on my bike since I paid full everything on it but this does intrigue me(my previous bike was a gsxr750 that might be why). Doing a quick search it should be more like the 900 performance. http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/suzuki/2014-suzuki-gsr750-ar163011.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YZEtc Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Decent styling (reminds me of my 2007 SV-650). To me, the muffler doesn't look any bigger than on a lot of other bikes with the muffler mounted in the traditional position. Not a fan of twin-piston, slide-pin calipers on sport bikes, and I'd probably want more front brake. Could stand to weigh about 30 pounds less. Personally, I'd MUCH rather have a torquey, light-weight FZ07 versus a detuned Gixxer 750-based powerplant on the back roads I ride on, but that's just me.

Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted October 4, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 4, 2014 The s750z pictured here: s750z reminds me an awful lot of my FZ-07. Can you say "jealous much Suzuki?" I see differences, but very slight. Bring the exhaust placement back a little and the headlight housing plastics, voila you have an FZ-07. Even the rear fender we're all replacing on our 07's are very similar to this thing. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bike looks pretty good, but the fact they basically made a bike almost identical to the FZ07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I actually really like the Suzuki. It's gonna really rival the FZ-09. I look forward to racing one. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonerider Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Suzuki seems very low profil since 2008. I hope that their future will be nicer. I wish that The recursion concept is the first step. Their naked 750 and 1000 seem very boring imo. past bikes: WR250X, KLR650, V-Strom 1000, DR650, FZ-6, SV650S, Seca II, GS400S, Seca 750, YZ80.

acenturian Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think its cool that Suzuki is at least entertaining the idea of a naked. Seems that for the longest while it was either a plastic wrapped bike or a cruiser. So koodo's for them bringing it out. I am not a fan of the "retuned, or detuned" 4cyl power plant. Been there did that on the Fz6 and while not "quite" as peaky as the R6 it still had to be spooled to make the power. I prefer our twins for the street and the twisted canyon runs. Now I REALLY like the Ducati scrambler that is a sick retro looking bike, but my only complaint is a prefer liquid cooled engines. But I got to give the thumbs to both Yamaha with the Fz07 looking like a whole new modern naked, and to Duc for doing a new retro...the Suzuki looks more like a GSXR with the faring's removed ..nothing new or special.

Cruizin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I really like the GSX-S750 quite a bit. I'm a sucker for Naked bikes, pretty much all of em. But, there is no excitement around this bike. My forum listed below is dead as a door nail. Nobody wants to talk about it so Suzuki better do some creative marketing if they want to sell any of these. I'm trying to help them, without much success. Seriously, I wonder how many FZ-07's we have sold for Yamaha? Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
