Suzuki GS750

The Suzuki GS750 was an entry in the GS series lineup and had a bunch of 4-stroke powered road motorcycles. This was quite impressive since it exclusively had 2-stroke bikes before this. When it came to 4-stroke engines, the company first came up with the Colleda COX with its 93 and 125 cc engines in 1955. Suzuki then worked on the GS series, which is how it perfected its 4-stroke bikes. The company also sold the GS400 alongside the GS750.
