The Suzuki GSX-R750 has been best in class for more than a decade... but that was never too difficult as it's been the only 750cc, four-cylinder sports bike you could buy for all that time. For a variety of reasons, what was once the premier sports bike class diverged into the 600cc super sports and 1,000cc-plus superbike classes, and every other manufacturer bar Suzuki abandoned the three-quarter liter division. The GSX-R, however, was the bike that created the class back in 1985 and despite many accomplished rivals it set the standards, to the point where GSX-R became a sub-brand for Suzuki with a loyal following. It wasn't loyalty alone that kept GSX-R750s moving out of showrooms, even in the later years: canny buyers realized it offered the agility of a 600 (not surprising as it has usually shared most chassis components with its smaller sibling) with something close to the power of a 1000.

In fact, as 1000s are generally overpowered and intimidating even on many UK race circuits, let alone the road, the 750 can have something of an advantage in offering sufficient power without being frightening.
