The engine is also extremely compact. It uses SCEM-coated cylinder bores in place of typical cast-iron liners, which narrow the engine. A side-mounted cam chain allows the use of five main-bearing journals instead of six, further narrowing the powerplant. In addition, the engine is shorter than conventional designs, thanks to transmission shafts mounted behind and below the crankshaft. The compact engine allows the GSX-R750 to have a nimble 55.2-inch wheelbase and 24 degrees of rake, which helps it respond to your input with uncanny precision.

       Complementing those impressive chassis dimensions is a healthy dose of advanced technology that allows the GSX-R750 to maintain its composure even during severe cornering or braking. It features a rigid, diamond-type aluminum frame. Fully adjustable inverted forks and a fully adjustable single shock rear suspension system offer extraordinary performance on a variety of tracks. A steering damper is standard. And state-of-the-art dual front disc brakes with six-piston calipers offer world-class stopping ability.

       For 1999, it's your turn to get on a winning streak: the GSX-R750.
