Sports Performance In A Street Package: The 2021 GSX-S750Z / ABS
Contents
The GSX-S750Z joins the 2021 Suzuki line-up with a few nice upgrades over the last model. It’s a powerful and muscular naked sportsbike that borrows a lot of its DNA from other Suzuki motorcycles, such as the GSX-R750. Featuring aggressive bodywork, a powerful engine, and a selection of top-quality parts and components, the GSX-S750Z is the ideal machine for taming the urban jungle or letting loose in the twisties.
It shares the same Japanese-made engine as the legendary GSX-R750—a 749 cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine—but with a different tune that results in an output of 114 horsepower and 59.74 lb-ft of torque. The new tune makes the engine more manageable and better suited towards everyday riding rather than outright performance, but don’t be fooled into thinking that the GSX-S750Z is a gentle soul. Because it isn’t. It offers serious power and performance in a compact, agile, but versatile, chassis.
Rider aids include a four-stage traction control, an innovative low-rpm management system, dual throttle valve control, and more. And of course, ABS is available for an added cost. Other top-level components include performance-focused Nissin brakes, advanced KYB suspension, LED lighting, and a cool LCD dashboard, and a stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system.
For 2021, the GSX-S750Z is available in a new color option: Metallic Oort Gray No. 3 with Glass Sparkle Black. The ABS enabled version is also available in Pearl Brilliant White with a Champion Yellow No. 2 color scheme.
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S750Z starts from $8,499 USD / $9,499 CAD.

2021 Suzuki GSX-S750Z / GSX-750Z ABS Features
Key Features
Suzuki Advanced Traction Control* lets the rider select sensitivity to match road conditions. Changes can be made on the fly so the rider can adapt the power delivery to changing conditions.
The unique chassis integrates the best qualities of a tubular girder streetbike frame and a twin-spar sportbike frame, and is fitted with KYB suspension to provide precise handling.
Radial-mounted Nissin Monobloc, four-piston brake calipers upfront grasp twin, wave-style brake rotors to deliver strong and consistent braking performance.
Metallic Oort Gray and Glass Sparkle Black paint covers the street-fighter bodywork that helps create an ergonomically comfortable, yet sporty riding position.
*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.
Engine Features
Using the K5 generation GSX-R engine architecture also permits a shorter chassis, which greatly enhances handling. This also makes the GSX-S750Z the only motorcycle in its class with an engine with SuperSport lineage.
Ventilation holes are added to the bottom side of each cylinder in the GSX-S750Z crankcase. The holes reduce pumping loss to help produce power and gain fuel economy.
Camshafts tuned specifically for the GSX-S750Z deliver a dynamic wave of smooth torque and strong acceleration.
Throttle bodies with Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system contribute to better throttle response and torque at the low- to mid-rpm range, while still producing peak performance.
Ten-hole, long-nose fuel injectors deliver finer atomized fuel to increase combustion efficiency.
Suzuki’s patented Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC) stabilizes the engine idle speed and helps lower emissions. The system is compact and lightweight.
The TI-ISC on the GSX-S750Z has Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts engine speed during takeoff and low-speed riding to smooth the power delivery and to help reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.
A large capacity airbox is used to match the higher engine output. The air inlets have been designed to provide an exciting auditory experience.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has carefully developed settings to suit the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in linear throttle response and class-leading fuel economy.
Suzuki’s Advanced Traction Control System* lets the GSX-S750Z rider control the throttle with more confidence in various riding conditions. As a result, the rider can enjoy sport riding with less anxiety. There are four traction control modes (1, 2, 3, and OFF) that the rider can easily adjust at rest or on the fly via a handlebar-mounted control. The difference between the modes are their sensitivity to road conditions.
– Mode 1 is the lowest sensitivity level – most suitable for skilled riders or in conditions that have good road surface grip (sport riding on good, smooth roads).
– Mode 2 is a moderate sensitivity level – suitable for most riders or in conditions that have varied road surface grip (city riding, regular road conditions)
– Mode 3 is the highest sensitivity level – suitable for road conditions where the grip may be limited (wet or cold surfaces).
– OFF disengages all traction control features.
The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs that increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.
The stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system helps the engine deliver a strong low- to mid-range punch with an exciting rush to redline. A larger catalyzer is in the mid-pipe to assist in emissions control without sacrificing performance.
Angular radiator shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity radiator. Additional heat is removed from the engine via the use of a lightweight and compact liquid-cooled oil cooler (like those used on GSX-R600 and 750 models).
*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.
Chassis Features
The new headlight nacelle provides a visual focal point, while the under-cowl connects the chassis styling to the engine and new exhaust system.
Frame design combines the advantages of a compact tubular-style street bike frame and a twin-spar sportbike frame to deliver a dynamic ride. A reasonable sport riding position is created by a carefully crafted relationship between the handlebars, footrests, and seat.
Large-diameter, matte black tapered handlebars damp vibration while adding style and good control leverage for the rider.
The low seat height of 820mm (32.2 inches) contributes to the sporty, yet upright riding position and aids rider confidence at stops.
Four-piston Nissin Monobloc brake calipers squeeze twin, 310mm wave-style brake rotors up front with a single-piston rear caliper out back to help deliver controlled stops.
Inverted, gold-anodized KYB fork features a spring preload adjustment and provides a solid foundation for the Nissin radial-mount brake calipers.
The trapezoidal, beam-type swingarm tapers down to precise chain adjusters that add strength and style.
Link-type rear suspension, with a single shock absorber working through a progressive linkage, has seven-way adjustable spring preload.
Developed directly for the GSX-S750 models, the 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels from TPR hold Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S21 radial tires that deliver increased grip and stability.
The black finish, aluminum hand and foot controls provide excellent action and contribute to the motorcycle’s sporty style.
Electrical Features
Distinctively shaped headlight nacelle contains a bright 60/55-watt H4 halogen bulb. The tail section houses an integrated LED taillight with a dual-pane, red/clear lens.
Similar to the GSX-S1000, the new lightweight and compact instrument panel uses an LCD display that includes speedometer, tachometer, odometer, dual trip meters, gear position, coolant temperatures, driving range, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, traction control, and a clock function.
The display has an adjustable-intensity, white color backlight for great nighttime visibility and is flanked by LED indicators for the turn signals, high beam, malfunction, and traction control, plus coolant temperature and oil pressure alerts.
A three-phase charging system, with an oil-cooled stator, keeps the maintenance-free battery up to charge for trouble-free operation.
Additional Features
12-month unlimited mileage limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).*
*Subject to separate coverage for certain parts and the exclusions and limitations described in the New On-Road Motorcycle Limited Warranty.
