- It's 20 years since Chris Walker and Neil Hodgson went toe-to-toe in one of the most dramatic BSB seasons we've seen, ultimately ending in heartbreak for Walker.
In 2019, Mike Armitage had the opportunity to ride Cadwell Park on the actual Suzuki GSX-R750 used that year.

I clicked to see the bike and onboard, not a bloke in shorts, handsome as he may be.
Concur. But you can't have everything
No onboard footage?
I have a K2 750 and absolutely love it, brilliant bikes.
Great info ,but it would be nice to hear it also
20years ago😍a
I'm still riding GSXRs and still wearing chris Walker replica helmets ♥️🏍
Great video I remember the days! Would have been great to at least hear the bike revving and to get some on board footage would have been brilliant! But still enjoyed the video. Suzuki have always been superb handling and easy to turn bikes! Love them! Thanks for sharing!
I ride a 2015, she's amazing. I miss the 750 class.
Good morning MCN 👍🏾💯 amazing and informative. thank you Chris awesome motorcycle
I miss the days of the 750’s - with the 1000’s being 200+hp now it’s about time we got back to 750’s I reckon!
Thanks for posting as others have said would be cool to see some video reviews on older road GSXR 750's
Loving this bike
I both love and hate this bike. It was one of the first race bikes I'd even seen and it's certainly a brilliant looking bike but I don't think I'll ever forgive it for blowing up my favourite ever riders championship when he so deserved it
Who was that rider
Beautiful bike.
Lovely bike.
MCN, do a road test of the classic SRAD to expand on some of those points made in the video and compare it to a modern sportbike design.
This
Awesome love it
Why would anyone “Dump” the 750 class? It was the Greatest Class Ever!!!! Period! Only Team Suzuki understands that the “750cc” is the sweet spot in the middle!
Yes I kind of agree the 750cc is the sweet spot! 1000cc too powerful these days!’
@Simon Stepsys - Exactly Brother ride safe! Plus the 750 can hang with the Liter Bikes at a Top Speed of 299 KPM or 186MPH! I have seen videos of the older GSXR-750’s doing 194 mph topped out on early 2000’s!
Mcn when is Superleggera V4 Review is coming?
If I ever win the lottery, you better believe that this bike would be my first purchase
Im glad i still got my 1999 gsxr 750 srad im thinking about keeping it a 750 just do some modifications to more crank pistons
That must have felt quite surreal. From being a CW fan, fast forward 19 years and suddenly you’re riding the actual bike that Chris rode. Bonkers!
When is Suzuki bringing out a new gsxr750!!!????
🤙
Gorgeous kit but isn’t that the last model year of the SRAD (99’)? In 2000, the new generation, fuel injected, 750 was unveiled. Maybe they started utilizing the new generation in BSB in 2001?
You are correct about 99 being the last srad but they had fuel injection in 98. I'm fairly certain that this bike is an srad as well. The fairing shape is that of an srad. As to when they switched to the new model, I'm not entirely sure.
Averna thanks for the info mate. Yeah its def. an SRAD. I’m guessing the 750 had FI for the last model years (98-99)SRAD’s but pretty sure the 600’s in the same year all the way through the 2000 model years, still had carburetors. The 600 got FI in 2001 I believe. Cheers sir~
@@Averna222 I asked Paul Denning about this bike and this was actually the 99 factory bike running on crescent's own electronic fuel injection system that they built themselves
Johnny 2 times “got to get the papers , get the papers”
Suzuki actually seemed to have to take a "step back" on turning performance with the following GSXR bike because this bike was hurting less experienced and/or unlucky riders. Unfortunately the bikes had pretty poor stock suspension setup and a delicate balance required to "make it work"... this bike was a "razor"!!
Ah....SUZUKI..😎🏍
I followed him myself, what a year, the bike was far inferior to what hodgie was riding, I remember leaving donnigton Pissed off 😂
suzuki still the best,, 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
where's the onboard? 🤣 what a waste of time
It's just work suspension good brake pads hi and calibers and head work.
What's up racing tires with high profile which makes the bike want to dip into the corner.
Lol we all can get this.
cute
