At Home With The Apex Predator - Suzuki GSX S750

I am a big fan of motorcycles, especially multi-cylinder engines.

A parallel-twin with a 270-degree crank, Oh yes. But then I had the chance to try out an inline four-cylinder engine and it was Japanese. Well, this motorcycle I am talking about seems to have no clear introduction so, let me begin with one.

ABOUT THE APEX PREDATOR

Suzuki launched its first middle-weight motorcycle in India in 2018 and they had planned it well as it was the second motorcycle to follow the CKD route after the legendary Hayabusa, which is now being assembled in India. Yes, I am talking about the Suzuki GSX-S750 which is a street naked middle-weight offering from Suzuki in India. Also known as the ‘Apex Predator’ I am sure for those who have ridden it on a track, can swear by its performance and how it holds its lines. But how is it to bring it home and ride it like a commuter?

Interestingly, Suzuki was quick enough to launch the 2019 edition of the GSX S750 which now gets two more colour scheme options. It was a very brief meeting with the guys at the dealership and I was soon handed the keys of the S750. The blue-black paint job looks stunning I must admit and now, I was about to ride this beauty home. It borrows its looks from its elder sibling the GSX-S1000 albeit a compact form factor. Do not be mistaken as it still is a mean-looking big muscular motorcycle with a well-defined front leading up to the tank.
