The 10 All-time Greatest 750s

The 750 monicker has been synonymous with some mad, bad machines. Here are the Top 10 750s of all-time

1984 Kawasaki GPz750 Turbo (94bhp, 233kg)

Yes, a production bike with a built-in turbo. Fast as hell in a straight line but soon to be outdone in all-round performance terms by the likes of Suzuki's race-rep GSX-R750.


1971 Ducati 750 Sport (55bhp, 180kg)

Ducati's first ever V-twin was basically two singles bolted together. The 750 Sport paved the way for the legendary 916.


1976 Benelli 750 Sei (71bhp, 220kg)

The world's first production six-cylinder machine, but in this case more wasn't better. But this didn't matter the 750 Sei looked fantastic.


1993 Yamaha YZF750 (125bhp, 195kg)

The poor old Yam didn't really get a look-in thanks to Honda launching the FireBlade. But for a 750 it could hold its own and the SP was jaw-droppingly hot, even with pink graphics


1977 Suzuki GS750 (68bhp, 223kg)

Notable for being Suzuki's first big four-stroke Superbike, the fast, smooth GS paved the way for some great bikes from Suzuki.

Hmmm... is it just me... or does that '77 GS750 Suzuki (Notable for being Suzuki's first big four-stroke Superbike, the fast, smooth GS paved the way for some great bikes from Suzuki.) look suspiciously like an early '70's GT750 water cooled 2 stroke triple...

What no VFR750?  Are you serious?

Indeed - the VFR750 is probably a contender for the best bike ever built, so easily wins this category.

Nice to see the old Suzuiki GS750 brochure.  I had one of those.  Great bike.

It can be whatever you like from 10 to 2, but theres no doubt about the slabby.

The GSXR750 has got to be in there it's the daddy of all 750's and still going string know.

no kawasaki 750 triple?

Posted: 27/10/2011 at 22:26

Well, the latest and newest 750 will almost always be 'the best' when compared with past bikes, but from an historical viewpoint, candidates should definitely include the Norton Commando, Moto Guzzi S3-750 (surely one of the most beautiful machines ever produced), the Kawasaki H2 and Suzy GT-750 - as mentioned previously, the Laverda SFC and last but certainly not least the BSA/Triumph triples. At least the CB-750 was included in the list....
