Suzuki had lagged a wee bit as they rolled into the 1990s. The racetrack and motorsport were thriving with high attendance and that meant everyone could justify R&D. While at some points, Suzuki had led the race, in the early 1990s they had fallen victim to bikes like the ZX-7 and 916. The 1996 GSXR-750 was Suzuki’s response that leapfrogged them to the front of their class. While its competition was still wobbled by the initial punch, this generation of GSXR continued to beat up the competition by adding innovations such as fuel injection in the following years.
The headline for the 1996 redesign was all about the chassis. A new cradle frame helped the bike increase rigidity and shed 30 lbs. Along with weight reduction, the chassis also started accepting the intake air by way of the fairing scoops aka “Ram Air”. The motor was also all new in 1996 and was a key contributor to the weight loss which naturally also makes the engine revvier and more powerful.
