While it was revamped alongside the all-new GSX-R600, the 2011 GSX-R750 admittedly doesn’t feature all the same updates as its smaller displacement sibling. Even still, the revamped three-quarter-liter machine features—among other small changes—an all-new chassis, Showa BPF front suspension and Brembo front brakes.
In the engine department, changes for 2011 are limited to reshaped intake valves and new pentagonal-shaped cutouts between each cylinder in the crankcase, which replace the conventional round ventilation holes and are intended to reduce mechanical pumping losses.
More heavily revised is the chassis. Tilting the engine rearward three degrees around the countershaft sprocket allowed Suzuki engineers to shorten the wheelbase of the 750, which at 54.7 inches is 15mm shorter than the previous model. Further revisions to the 750’s frame and swingarm resulted in increased rigidity and a five-pound weight reduction (three pounds from the frame and two from the swingarm).
