A sportbike for the road
One of the greatest qualities of the 750 lies in the road/track balance it strikes. This is a bike you understand the minute you grab a hold of those handlebars, a supremely user-friendly machine in terms of power, with potent brakes and above-average comfort for its class.

Even the suspension, with its myriad adjustments, is just flexible enough to suit our seemingly war-torn streets. Throw in a comfortable seat, shielding wind-guard, handlebars that aren't too low and adjustable footpegs, and you get a machine that's a pleasure to ride on the road or the track.

Suzuki always builds its bikes with daily usage in mind, and that's why the GSX-R750 truly stands out from its competitors where ergonomics are concerned. Compared to the Daytona or 848, it almost feels like a GT. The only fly in the road-going ointment is the exaggerated noise from the air intake - delightful at the track, not so much on the highway.

More versatile than its baby brother, the 750 once again demonstrates its superiority in the real world. For track days I'd choose the 600, its reduced moment of inertia and better mass centralization increasing its agility so much you'd swear you were riding a 250-cc. But for the road, no doubt about it, the GSX-R750 is superior on all counts.

Pros
Extra power and torque
Versatile ergonomics for both road and track
High-speed stability
Powerful, easy-to-modulate brakes

Cons
Inertia
Agility sacrificed in the name of versatility
