This Suzuki GSX-S750 Packs a Perfect Balance Between Retro and Futuristic - autoevolution

A few days ago, we’ve looked at Officine GP’s ravishing MV Agusta Rivale-based masterpiece. As soon as I concluded that publication, I headed straight over to these folks’ social media profiles to dig into their fascinating portfolio even further.

Sure enough, as I was scrolling through Officine’s range, I ran into yet another two-wheeled work of art that gripped my full attention. It is a spectacular blend of classic and futuristic design elements, based on a 2017 model in Suzuki’s GSX-S750 family.

For the sake of diversity, I’ll normally avoid featuring two builds from the same workshop in such a short timeframe. However, I simply couldn’t resist the urge to put this sexy beast in the spotlight. I mean, just look at the damn thing!

It goes without saying that GSX-S750 is one hell of a bike, even in stock form. Suzuki’s untamed monstrosity is brought to life by a fiendish four-stroke inline-four leviathan, with a respectable compression ratio of 12.3:1 and a displacement of 749cc.

At 10,500 rpm, this ruthless piece of machinery is good for up to 114 ponies, accompanied by 60 pound-feet (81 Nm) of torque output at around 9,000 revs. The DOHC mill’s power reaches GSX-S750's rear wheel by means of a six-speed constant mesh transmission.

The whole structure is supported by a set of 41 mm (1.6 inches) KYB inverted forks that allow 4.7 inches (120 mm) of travel at the front, along with a fully-adjustable shock absorber at the rear, permitting up to 5.4 inches (138 mm) of wheel travel.

It crawls on a pair of ten-spoke cast aluminum wheels that wear high-performance Bridgesport Battlax Hypersport S21 rubber. Stopping power is handled by twin 310 mm (12.2 inches) rotors and Nissin four-piston calipers up front, coupled with a single brake disc and a two-piston caliper on the opposite end.

Without going into any other details, it’s pretty safe to conclude that we’re dealing with a genuine showstopper! Since the two-wheeler boasts an exceptional performance straight out of the box, Luca Pozzato’s Officine GP decided to focus solely on the visual side of things.

For starters, Pozzato tasked his crew with crafting a one-off aluminum tail section, inspired by GSX-S750's MY ‘85 ancestor. In fact, they went as far as removing the entirety of its stock body work to make room for their own modules.

Besides the gorgeous tail, these include a hand-built alloy fuel tank a Foglizzo leather saddle upholstered in-house. Additionally, the unique tank received dual filler caps and knee dents.

Up front, you will notice a digital dashboard and an array of carbon fiber components from Lightec sitting on the handlebars, as well as a bikini fairing that houses an otherworldly halogen headlight unit.

Furthermore, Officine tweaked the bike’s rear brake setup and enveloped its swingarm in a couple of custom panels. The entire thing rolls on 17-inch OZ Gass Titano wheels, hugged by Michelin Power RS tires. Lastly, the inline-four behemoth breathes more freely, thanks to an aftermarket titanium exhaust system from SC Project.

To wrap it all up, Pozzato’s team named their creation ‘Zero’, to then treat it to a stunning black and blue paintwork, joined by shiny silver accents. I’ll have to admit, the final result left me speechless.

Now, if you’re loving this goodness as much as I am, I’d encourage you to pay Officine GP a visit on their Facebook and Instagram pages. Personally, I’m aching to see what they’ll be delighting us with in the future!
