Suzuki, in 1985 with their creation of the GSX-R750, helped to pioneer the world of the super-sport bike that we all know today. Debuting with a whopping 100hp engine, the GSX-R750 won the AMA superbike series in 1989. To keep up with the competition, Suzuki has refined the GSXR750 almost every year since its inception.
