Suzuki GSX750F 1988—

I have tried to tell the Suzuki GSX750F (GSX750 Katana in America) model history on this page as I know it. The page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

The GSX750F was the last of the four GSX-F sport tourers that Suzuki introduced in the eighties. The models released earlier were GSX-F (400cc), GSX600F and GSX1100F. Although the specifications of the model haven't been radically changed between the release and the total facelift in 1998 it would have been difficult to determinate the model year of the GSX750F if Suzuki hdn't updated the paint job. The model got new graphics every year in Japan, but older models have been sold on some markets as new. For instance, the Japanese 1988-year's model was sold in Sweden as a new model in 1989. The GSX-F models were for some reason called Katanas in USA and Canada. The GSX-S Katana models were called ”original Katanas” after the introduction of the F models.
