Let\u2019s not beat around the bush \u2014 some motorcycles leave a lasting mark and, in the collective imagination of riders, become true symbols\u2026 something iconic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2006-07 Suzuki GSXR 750<\/strong>, also called K6 or K7, is one of these bikes, and it is one for 3 very specific reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. For what it has continued to represent<\/strong> in the late 2000s, as the last bastion of the 750 supersport motorcycles, which until 2003 were battling - with epic duels - in the Superbike World Championship circuits;<\/li>
  2. For his exhilarating performance<\/strong> - but at the same time 'exploitable'-and its great balance that allowed it to keep up with 1000cc supersport bikes, so much so that it earned the nickname of 'kill a thousand'<\/em>;<\/li>
  3. For the outstanding reliability of its engine<\/strong> which, while reaching 'screaming' up to 15,000 rpm, has always distinguished itself by never missing a beat and being able to withstand any 'mistreatment' given by the most demanding use even on the track.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"GSXR<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Many years after its introduction and its removal from Suzuki's listings, replaced in 2008 by the later K8 model, continues to be a frequent subject of discussion<\/strong> And biker talk and a motorcycle still rather coveted for those who want to have fun on the track<\/strong> without facing the financial and physical commitment of running a 1,000cc supersport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After these premises let's get straight to the point with the main 'numbers' that characterize this iconic four-cylinder from the house of Hamamatsu<\/strong> namely: maximum power, dry weight and maximum speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Power<\/th>Weight<\/th>Speed<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    150 HP (13200 rpm)<\/td>163 kg (dry)<\/td>273 km\/h<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In dyno tests from that time, the maximum power at the wheel<\/strong> turned out to be about 126 HP<\/strong>. A very good value, about 15 to 20 hp higher than the actual power outputs of the various 600cc machines of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 750 Suzuki, in 2006, was presented in Italy in two colors<\/strong>, the ever-present white-blue<\/strong> Suzuki and an eye-catching fully black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Suzuki
    In our (unreliable) judgment, the black livery does the most justice to the lines of the GSXR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    What does it look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It comes from its smaller 600cc sister<\/strong>, uses the exact same frame (aluminum double girder), swingarm and crankcase, this makes it as agile and drivable as a 600 but with a significant advantage in maximum power and its delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Compared with the 600, the Showa fully adjustable fork<\/strong> and with anti-friction treatment, marks a notovele step forward in pecision and riding feel, especially when approaching the limit, on the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also Showa monoshock is new<\/strong> Compared with the previous model, it is lighter and more compact and is equipped with hydraulic compression brake adjustment on both high and low speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"chassis
    Very compact and very powerful, basically a 600 with a superdoped engine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The four-cylinder 750 is even more compact than that of the 600<\/strong> (from which it is derived), and is powered by dual injectors and dual throttle bodies. This is 2006, and there are no electronic driving aids--on the brakes you can still count on the slipper clutch<\/strong>, present as standard on the GSXR 750 k6 \/ k7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also characteristic of this model is the exhaust system, equipped with electronic exhaust valve<\/strong> and of short terminal<\/strong>, very aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Coming to the brake department we find a pair of 310 mm front discs<\/strong> bitten by some 4-piston radial calipers<\/strong> of Tokico and commanded by a brake master cylinder also radial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Dashboard<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    To conclude, the instrumentation of the GSXR 750 is mixed, analog-digital<\/strong>, the tachometer on a white background is very large and 'racing'-style, perfect for track use, the gear shift indicator is also excellent, and all the lights and indications on the small display are very readable, including the speed readout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Still relevant<\/strong>, we can say with the certainty of not being proven wrong, most of the bikers who still own a GSXR 750 k6 \/ k7 example are proud of it and consider it a thoroughbred supersport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How it goes on the road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In summary<\/strong>: light, responsive and with a fairly exploitable engine on the road, powerful braking that tends, however, to 'stretch' a bit in hard use. Impeccable set-up... on the narrow mix it is incredibly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driving position<\/strong> quite hospitable for a supersport, not excessive fuel consumption and super-reliable engine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Known flaws<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
