The 1993 GSX-R 750 shares its Transverse engine and Sport style configuration with the likes of the 2020 Norton Superlight SS and the 2019 Norton Superlight Twin. Alternatively, if you're looking for other bikes which share the GSX-R 750's Sport style with a similar size of engine then how about the 2020 Norton Superlight SS | 2020cc.2019 Norton Superlight Twin | 2019cc.

Power and Torque:

Weighing in at 234 kgs (515 lbs) this makes the Suzuki GSX-R 750 WP in the same weight category as the 2025 Honda X-ADV 745 or the 2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally, give or take 50kg.

The 1993 Suzuki GSX-R 750 shares the same bhp with the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT - [2025]

In terms of power the 749cc 16 valve Transverse 4 cylinder engine produces 118 bhp (87 kW) @ 11500 rpm similar to the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT [119 bhp (88 kW) @ 10000 rpm] or the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ [119 bhp (88 kW) @ 10000 rpm].

The DOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 59.0 lb-ft (79.9 Nm) @ 10000 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2025 Yamaha YZF-R9 Triple [68.5 lb-ft (93.0 Nm) @ 7000 rpm] and the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 Triple [68.5 lb-ft (93.0 Nm) @ 7000 rpm].

Power to Weight:

If one combines the weight with power or torque performance for the Suzuki GSX-R 750 you can get a better idea of it's real world performance.

The 1989 Yamaha V-Max 1200 has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the 1993 Suzuki GSX-R 750 WP.

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 1985 Suzuki GSX 1100 ES [276.9 lb-ft per ton] and the 1983 Suzuki GSX 1100 ES [276.9 lb-ft per ton].
