- I've been banging on about how good GSX-R750s are for years. It's about time I finally got one. My new GSX-R750 L4 has been crash damaged and the aim is to get it fixed up in time for Suzuki Live at Cadwell Park on 22/23 June. See you there...hopefully.

I’m not ashamed to say I’m deep into a midlife crisis and just passed my test and got a gsxr 600… 43 years young and loving it !!!!
I had a K4 in my 20’s that I rode all the way from Bristol to the Alps. I’m 40 now and would love another GSXR 600. So much fun without being scary! Used to pop and spit flames from the Yoshimura. Loved it.
I am 68 so my crisis is dragging on some what. 😂😂😂😂
Good on ya. How much was insurance and what area are you from
I have a K5 600 it's my daily with 80 000kms on the clock and it's still going strong. Perfect size and power for me.
They're bulletproof amazing 🤟
i wonder what kind of midlife crisis a biker goes through that has already ridden 1000s....
Great news! You should contact Suzuki to see if they can do you some favours with cheap / free replacement parts. They go out of their way to promote their original parts program & are usually pretty helpful with these sorts of things. Please please make some vids of the restoration! Can't wait.
Idk why I find it so satisfying when someone buys a lightly crashed bike and returns it back to old glory for pennies on the bargain? Definitely happy when my bike went down that it’s a naked bike so I needed like 2 parts to get it back looking proper. The downside was that one of the parts that needed replacing was the stator cover so the flatbed laid it down on the opposite side so the oil wouldn’t leak and scraped the frame that would’ve been unscathed if he hadn’t done that.
I can see how happy you are, life can be complicated but when you know what makes you happy it's not that hard. I hope the UK gets a good summer for you to get out and ride a lot!
I’m 61 and have a 2017 GSXR750 and love riding the twisties here in Brisbane will be watching the project with interest
Thank you, sir!

Loved watching your gsxr recaps over the last few months. Keep it coming.
Nice!! Great machine! Happy for you bro! 🫡👍🦾💃🏻🔥💚💚💚

Kid in a sweet shop springs to mind 🏁
I knew this would happen, it was just a matter of when! 😄 Can't wait to see the finished item.
Great to see despite all the bikes you have ridden and have access to how exited you are about this one. Its that enthusiasm that makes your channel so good. Everytime a gixer 750 passes me on the roads round here (near to you) I will be thinking is that neevsey?
Happy days right, like you are meeting with a family member you have always talked great about. Emotional times.
Bloody great!
A beautiful machine worthy of true resurrection!
I’m really looking forward to seeing your GSXR come strongly back to life and many future videos of you enjoying the experience 😊
Congratulations neevesy enjoy.
I have an L1 had it for 9 years now and it puts a smile on my face and makes me chuckle. 😊
Loving this content Neevesy! As a longtime GSXR750 fan/owner I understand your excitement and I am really looking forward to seeing your new pride and joy progress. Many thanks for the excellent content.
Congrats on the purchase mate 👍🏽😎🏍 very happy for you 👍🏽 . I bet you can’t wait for that first ride ! 👍🏽😎🏁
I wish this episode was 9 hours long!!! cant wait to see this series
Congratulations, the connoisseur’s choice in sport bikes!!! 🏍️💨
Congratulations mate, great machines,enjoy it when it gets done
Subbed for this. Great to see your passion show. And i agree, everyone needs a Bob. 😅
She's in good hands 🙌🏻😎🏍💨
Good luck!
Hello Neevesy,
Congrats on the Gixxer 750! I’m sure it’s going to turn out great in the end, how exciting!
I’ve been watching your videos (MCN and now your channel) since the time that you had the yellow Ducati 848 streetfighter long- termer. I have always enjoyed your reviews and have learned so much about the motorcycle world (design, chassis, suspension, riding technique, etc.) from you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us. I hope to get to your level of riding ability one day. Best of luck with the Gixxer, and Greetings from Los Angeles!
Great stuff ! Cant wait for the next instalment
Congrats on your purchase Neevesy I’ve just seen a 2024 advertised or at least a test ride on in nice to see emm still being produced Best o luck with your rebuild lovely bike 🍻👍
Congratulations! Fun project.
Very nice! Congrats on scoring one of your favorite bikes. Damn it! With all the GSX-R videos I am getting the itch to go out and pick one up here in the states.
Very happy for you! That bike deserves to be saved and no better team to do it. Enjoy the process & thanks for documenting for us fans around the world. Cheers to ya ✌👊
Congrats on your awesome bike. mate 👍
Me too, like the colours of the L1 - I did buy a GSXR 750L Slingshot a few years ago, don't use it very often but have always loved the way they look. 👍
Brilliant news, you're one of us Neevesy 👍🏻😎 Keep us posted of your journey 🙂
Great video mate Iv been watching since 2012 or early 2013 when I was doing my full bike licenses. Showing my age now 🫣🤫 and I’m here supporting you on your own journey doing content for your own RUclips channel and I’m still loving every minute of your content. Keep up the amazing content.
one of the most honest and humble moto reporters... Sincere congrats
Good for you mate! Enjoy it.
Best motorcycle content on RUclips. Best wishes with the new bike.
She doesn't look too bad at all. Hope its a handy fix up
Really great to see the joy this has brought you.
I picked up an MV F3 Rosso. In my mind a similar prospect to the GSXR - great handling and more than enough BHP for the road. A joy to see, hear and feel. Looks very similar I think too.
Best motorcycle content on RUclips.
Best wishes with the new bike, she doesn't look too bad at all
NIce to see the love for @RRCRestoration - look forward to more on this (just bought a Gen 1 SV 650 curvy in the UK and might do a few trackdays when I am there).
I also have a 2014 750 and absolutely love it! I’m 62 & ride street & occasional track days too, fantastic bikes, best of luck with it!
I’m 58 and have a 750 K8 for the last 10yrs and love it
I am looking forward to this project as I, too, own a 2022 GSXR 750. I've been busy upgrading the bike. It's a joy!
Just bought a k4 750! My first sports bike… safe to say I’m a little bit nervous to ride it, but super excited to finally get the bike I’ve wanted since I was a teenager (I’m 35). Blessings on your new bike, sir!
Awesome video! Beautiful bike for sure. I love this sort of video. I am looking forward to the progression. Best!
I really thought you were going to get the BMW S1000XR. It really put a smile on your face. But hey ho. Best!
I still have my 2008 GSX-R 750 and still love it.
I have my 3rd track school event scheduled at COTA this coming September.
Great buy! Congratulations!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 always a great feeling to buy a new or used bike. Cannot wait to see this bike on the road. 🎉🎉
I just bought an L1 GSXR-750 last week, Neevesy! We're bike twins!
It'll come up alright. Not to much damage. I want to see it running in good spirits again. I am tip toing waiting for the next video. Good luck with the process of making it track ready again.
Awesome and excitng to see how this build comes together. I have never ridden a GSX750 but have a few favorite's of my own that i am always building and improving on ( ZX12R x 3 LOL). Keeps us young and busy ( and broke lol) . Love your work everyweek - dont always comment but never miss the weekly rant. Keep them coming
Really good content for this video, I love the bike, what a Barn find of sorts ❤
❤❤❤ love you for that…ive done the same 4 years ago and got my gen 1 busa….no more words
Very nice micheal i have a 750l3 in the same colours but alot of carbon added. Youll love it! Congrats
Your smile is everything that's right with owning a motorcycle Neevesy.
I had a 2011 GSX-R750 and it helped me learn how to work on bikes. It had been crashed via low side more then once similar to your bike. The engine function was perfect so I didn't care that it had a ton of scuffs, broken fairings, shaved down foot pegs. I replaced everything I could with OEM parts. It was very fun getting it all fixed up. I ended up trading it in for a 2023 GSX-R1000 but I wish I kept it to have it along side.
Great score Michael. Well done. That Porsche 356 Speedster is magnificent
Nice one, Neevesy. It's going to be fun watching you (or Bob, rather, lol) fix it up. Looking forward to seeing you jump the mountain with it.
It's really telling how special the bike is when it's the first bike you've owned in 24 years - even knowing all the bikes you've ridden, all your loaners and travelling that you do. I did a similar rebuild with my 954 blade. Looking forward to following along with your build!
Congrats, enjoy!
Just turned 60 and still riding my 03 gsxr 750 and keeping up with alot of them newer bikes..You go Neevesy!!😎👊
Congratulations Sir and welcome at last!! Only bike ever bought new was a K6 and like a muppet sold it in mint condition years later. Regrets, yes lots. Since tried many bikes but nothing came close. Getting on in years now and in remission from cancer so couldn't resist buying another when I came across a mint 2013 Yoshimura Special Edition with 6k miles. Regrets, NO, one of the best things I've ever done. They’re not just fast and nimble but safe, comfortable, easy to live with and bloody good fun.
Thanks for all your great vids. Enjoy your smiles!
K5 1000 here. Best content on youtube regarding bikes. Cant describe how much i love Suzukis. When company does something from bottom of em hearth. ❤
Best of luck with the new bike. Should be a winner.
My first big bike after my 125cc in 2014 was a new L4 GSXR 750 absolutely loved that bike and the noise from the intake was addictive.
Great video Neevesy, makes me want to go back to my NC30 days… Still loving the Beastie Boys pics in the background.
You need to do it before its to late, so well done Micheal...l look back to when l owned a Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans and a Ducati 900 SS bevel drive back in the late seventies. ..(l was in my mid thirties even then)..I'm deep into retirement now so going back isn't really possible.... but it's been a great journey to recall..
Really pleased for you! Sure you'll have great times on it. Been toying with the idea of getting something from my younger days before I get too old but can't quite figure out what. I never had a GSX R but always admired from afar, so... maybe. Anyway, enjoy building your Gixxersaw puzzle - see what I did there?😉😂
Nice work. Having gone through a K5, K7 and finally an L7, I’m finally without a Gixxer in my life but I can see how excited you are to finally have a bike of you’re own. It’s easy to assume you’re living the dream riding the newest bikes in the most amazing locations but there’s nothing like riding your own bike for fun. Now you can officially earn an ASBO and tear up your neighbourhood with your brother..
Good luck neevsey 👍
Cant wait for the next episode....Thank god Bob is there!!!! Brilliant
Congratulations, I hope you'll be very happy together 💕
Lol ,just bought a 2015 gsxr750 because i always wanted one and looked on your channel as i always do and you have bought one as well,decided to take the plunge as they are getting scarcer and more kms on them and it was in my price range ,as you do your build i may have to “incorporate “ some of your mods on my bike.cheersd.😊
I’m excited for you Michael. I’d love another spin on my old k6.
I've done the same thing bud, I just bought the 750 k8 in all black. This is my 5th 750 and I absolutely love it.
Awesome. I love the fact Neevesey isn't slightly worried to buy a crash damaged bike and bring it back to glory.
I did this with a Yamaha R1 4C8. It wasn't crash damaged but just very very neglected. With my very limited skills I stripped it down, deep cleaned every book and cranny (the dirt and grime was unbelievable) and then serviced it and refitted some new parts. Then deep cleaned all the panels and touched in damage.
It looked so awesome when finished.
Can't wait to see the restoration 💯🏍️👍✊
Great Bike great vid. Will look forward to the updates. I had a 750Y, wrote it off, stay safe geezer.
Ps your credit score has just gone up 4 selling the scoot!
Hard to believe i lived in Ramsgate and Deal when i was four and a half years old. Stayed in digs with my mother and father and went to a corner shop called the Cabin where i purchased two lucky bags every day. The landlady was called Mrs Stubbles. Great memories. 😀
Yes Neevsey! I am think about doing the exact same thing for summer…
Nice find, looking forward to seeing how it comes together. I got my dream Suzuki from my youth a few years back, although given it's a late 70s TS185 I won't be doing any track days on it! Great fun around the Bachmann lanes tho'
Nice one Neevesy. Health to ride. 👍
Couldn’t be more happier with my previously damaged 1998 Suzuki Gsx600f, that now stands apart as a reborn stripped out Cafe Racer! It could be argued that previously damaged bikes are better value for money. Good luck with your bike, looks like a good ‘un already!👍
Man I absolutely loved everything about my L4 750! Will buy another one sometime in the near future
I've had three GSXR 750's over the past 25 years, watching this may change that to four........ Look forward to watching it progress.
