Overview
Suzuki GSX 750S3 Katana
Suzuki created the 750cc version for people who liked the look of
the larger edition but wanted something not as bulky. An upgraded
model was released in 1982 (the Mark II) and then in late 1984 came
the final version, the Mark III.
While the Mark III still had the the overall design look from
previous generations, the engine was a new 16-value unit taken from
the forebearer of the GSXR, the GSX750E. The new engine offered
right around 84 bhp and the Mark III came with upgraded suspension
both front and rear. The Mark III was also more comfortable due to a
lower seat height and higher handlebars, which reduced the stretch
to the grips and resulting knee bend. And last but not least (no pun
intended) weight was also reduced by 16 kilos. All the changes
resulted in a bike which was a big improvement over the previous
version and also handled better than the UJM Suzuki GSX750.
Of course the tech improvements weren't the only changes that put
the 750se on a lot of wish lists. The look of the bike caused a big
reaction with a multi-toned paint scheme that was a big change from
the all silver 1000 version. And perhaps most noticeable of all was
a new all black fairing which included a retractable/pop-up
headlight.
As the folks as Two Wheels wrote, "the katana looks like it's
going fast even when its barely moving but so do a lot of bikes.
The thing about the 750SE Katana is that it looks like its on its
way to future while others are just treading water in the present."
