Its 750cc inline-four delivered 100 horsepower. With a wet weight of just 176kg, it created a whole new category of performance bikes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2jQu8Tpdy9Q\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Suzuki then re-invented GSX-R750 again in 1996. This is the turning-point model of the GSX-R750 with the newly equipped twin-spar frame instead of the double cradle frame.

The 1999 GSX1300R \u201eHayabusa\u201d represented the epitome of no-compromise engineering. The Hayabusa&#8217;s most notable features were its aerodynamic design and its superb balance of the engine performance and handling in a wide speed range on the road.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yo1FGDclYfg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then came one of the best Gixxer ever made, the 2005 GSX-R1000.
