Summary

The 2011-2016 Suzuki GSR750 and the 2010-2016 Yamaha FZ8-N are two motorcycles that might appear similar at first glance. However, they have differences that set them apart.

The Suzuki GSR750 is a naked sports bike, weighing in at 213 kg, with a lively four-cylinder engine that delivers 105 horsepower. The engine has a six-speed gearbox that offers smooth and effortless switching. The bike's ergonomic design ensures comfort on long journeys. It has a sleek, aerodynamic style and is available in various color schemes, including a black and red combo.

In contrast, the Yamaha FZ8-N is more of a streetfighter bike that weighs around 211 kg. Its engine delivers 106 horsepower, and like the GSR750, it has a comfortable seat and well-positioned handlebars. The bike has a unique style, with an exposed frame, and comes in black or white.

Targeted audiences for both bikes are riders who enjoy mid-range bikes and the sporty appearance that comes with them. The Suzuki GSR750 is ideal for riders who value strong and consistent performance while riding. The Yamaha FZ8-N is perfect for the urban rider who appreciates the bike’s aggressive looks, agility, and ease of handling.

The Suzuki GSR750 has excellent power and better acceleration than the Yamaha FZ8-N as it covers a quarter-mile 0.3 seconds faster. It also has a larger fuel tank, making it ideal for long trips, and handles corners with minimal input from the rider. The Yamaha FZ8-N has better handling, thanks to its slightly shorter wheelbase, and excellent brakes.

Both bikes have areas where they excel and areas where they fall short. The Suzuki GSR750 has better fuel economy, handling, and fewer vibrations than the FZ8-N.
