The GT750 is Suzuki’s first 750 cm³ motorcycle and is the first production model in Japan to be equipped with a 2-stroke liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine. With demand for motorcycles shifting toward larger models, the GT750 was developed as the pinnacle of the GT series. The engine features a pressurized forced circulation cooling system that incorporates a reinforced aluminum radiator and an electric fan. This high-performance engine generates maximum horsepower of 67 PS and maximum torque of 75.5 N·m with the ability to deliver powerful acceleration from low- to high- rpm ranges with low noise. The chassis structure and brakes were developed taking advantage of Suzuki's experience in GP races, and a high-visibility meter cluster was adopted for added safety. The classy styling was designed to project a dignified, flowing, and aggressive image with functional beauty. In the U.S., the GT750 was nicknamed the “Water Buffalo”.
