As we previously reported<\/a>, the 2022 Suzuki GSX-R750 has already been approved by the FIM for World Supersport competition, and also by the AMA and MotoAmerica for both the 80th running of the Daytona 200 and the 2022 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship. However, due to a bit of a “Catch-22” situation, there weren’t any three-quarter-liter GSX-R motorcycles on the starting grid for the 200. Here’s why:<\/p>

For the GSX-R750 to be legal in Supersport competition, it needs to be equipped with an electronically controlled throttle or “fly-by-wire throttle. As delivered from the Suzuki factory, all stock GSX-R750 motorcycles are equipped with cable-operated throttle assemblies, which is a mechanical system that’s been around pretty much since the very first motorcycles were invented. Not acceptable in the “Supersport Next Generation,” however.<\/p>
