I rode one of these last July too. I really liked it. That induction roar doesn't come across in the video so much, but it's wonderful when you're on the bike. I was very impressed with it, the brakes as you said are notable, and I haven't felt so at home on a naked bike since I tried the Monster 821.
Just got my ECU flashed by Dano’s Performance and it really helps to smooth the bike out. I threw on a Yoshi Alpha T slip on and even with the baffle installed sounds amazing. I have 3500 miles on my 18’. Wonderful bike, couldn’t be happier.
@@Currrn It was a little tight but I've removed and installed it a couple of times an it seems to loosen up over time. I now have it out and I'm keeping it that way. The sound is way too good.
"Great first big bike"... i agree. with a K & N filter, power commander, yoshi and quick shifter it show 120hp at the wheel on the dyno it is a hoot to ride!
@@superkai6483 just be wary.... it cost a few thousand dollars to get 20% extra in ponies to the rear wheel... by the time you do it you are getting close to spending litre bike money... just saying... something to remember is that when you sell it don't expect to get a good return.... if you are on a budget consider all your options first. Best of luck to you, stay safe👍
I bought one yesterday cause of this guys review. The thing looks way better in person by the way guys. The dash on the American version lights up beautifully
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
..ordered the z900 performance.. I originally looked at the gsx-750 and 1000.. love the blue and black combo! However being 6'2 it felt like I was sat over the tank.. The z900 felt more sat into the tank. good review.. bloody raining here (up north) as usual!
@@Rutger27 never in my life would I recommend a 100+hp motorcycle as a first bike… This as a first bike would be like having a 600hp vehicle as a first car. Don’t rush into big bikes, you have your entire life to work your way up. Start with no more than 60hp for the first year or 2, and you will learn alot about traffic and survival skills on the road. Then step it up. Trust me, if you’ve never ridden or been a passenger on a 750cc+ sports bike, these type of bikes are much quicker than you can possibly imagine.
It's Definitely an entry level bike. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Power is just ok.(I currently own a zx9) so maybe I'm biased. But it is a good bike. Underpowered for sure. Brakes are outstanding. Comfortable for sure. Fun bike.
@Bunnyshooter 223 I hear ya. I'm getting old. I wanna sell the zx9. Just can't handle the position of sportbikes anymore. I'm looking at an fz09 or z900.
Great review. That bike sounds really nice at full throttle. I kind of reminds me of my old Suzuki GSF600. I'm in the market for middle weight bike and the S750 is on my list.
Great review. I test rode this bike last week at wheels in Peterborough. I agree the brakes are excellent. I'm 5'7 (short arse) so for me the seat was fine, I could sit on it for quite long periods of time. The gearbox was the best ive experienced. It did feel a little bit like a grown up waz machine but with a small screen you could do distances on it. If I had the money I would buy one.
Why bother blocking the speedo? I can easily calculate your speed by the time lapsed between any random reference spots. In order to help authorities in case this video is happen to be seen by some transit officer, I have done the work of calculating 28 different points of reference behind you and, If my math is correct, and it always is, because I'm an indian mathematician, I've calculated that you've never surpassed a given speed of 40 mph. I have concluded also that the blurred trees passing behind you is not because of a high speed shot on slow frame camera, but a simple effect of the heat of the engine mixed with a high humidity ambience and the fucking awesome sound, I mean, the sound waves of the exhaust interferencing with the camera microphone. I can't see any illegal action whotsoever, so I'm not been negatively influenced by your behaviour.
Just like the old joke about an Indian Prince who observed the Californian surfers for an entire summer and then went out on a surfboard himself and immediately wiped out as in fell off and into the water. You had me going for a while. When you wrote that "as an Indian Mathematician" bla bla humidity bla bla engine vibration bla bla sound wave bla bla noise bla bla he did not exceed 40 mph. Very funny!
JJ Wrong! Same bike, Yoshimura slip on, ECU flashed , remapping the fuel delivery, turning off the 02 sensor and I’m pulling 112 hp at the rear wheel. Add one tooth to the counter sprocket and then get back to me.
I'm gonna get one pretty soon. Great Review LCR as usual!!! I've been thinking between this one the z900, mt09 even the old fz1n and got to the point that this is more enough for what i need commuting/weekend blast. Z900 obvs is in another league but for the price you pay this bike you its really good!!! 👍
My first big bike 😎 Just ordered one of these 💪 Can’t wait much longer 🤤 Coming from a GSX-S125 this seems like a normal step up ☝️it’s just 100bhp more,haha !
You guys are marvelous. Get more of this kind great video please. Amongst all the nakeds, I still say the Kawasaki Z series ie the Z800, Z900 and Z1000 are stunning, it looks macho with the transformer head lamp and a fatty fuel tank, what more with the very reasonableprice it offers compared to its competitors. That should be the style and design of super muscle naked, meant for fun, easy and happy riding, daily use in towns and cities along the winding conering hilly roads. It is not for racing or on track, as the RR versions in all the brands are already meant for track.
I like price of the Suzuki GSX 750 and SVK 650, but they really look small compared to adventure style bikes. I test rode a Triumph Tiger 1050 and a Suzuki V-Strom 1000, and they really fit me well.
I really think bike manufactures need to spend more time on the tail-piece for the number plate.. I mean its just not big enough.. How about taking the pillion seat off altogether and making a bloody big yacht mast back there with a fixing plate that would secure a 60" TV!!
Just bought 2018 plated one well pick it up next week,looking forward to the bike having learnt my trade on two SV650's. Will be getting full remapped and a quickshifter fitted..
anthony ward just noticed your comment, I'm a DAS rider past my test last year and did the sensible thing and bought a 13plate SFV 650 I've covered about 7000 miles since then and feel pretty comfortable and occasionally a little bores of it to cut to the chase does this feel like a natural progression as im now looking at a nearly new Middle weight naked MT09, Street triple, Z800...
Graham, I would say so!,I really like the street triple...I had a 52 plated SV first then bought the newer 17 plate which i loved and when you've learnt to use the gears right there soooooooo much fun in the twisties!!
Great vid chops. You mentioned the mt07 during the content. Would you ever do a review on that bike as it's on my shopping list and would hold your opinion with high regard. Ta
I have tested one already but didn't record the ride, I really liked it, its very good fun indeed!! Yamaha are not responding to my request to test bikes so cant at the moment, if they ever do will be on the list for a proper ride review
I've ridden this 750. I've ridden the bigger 1000. That liter machine has a ridiculous amount of power, but it was saddled with the worst gear ratios in the industry: 1st is very tall, and there is barely any space between the next 5. 6th spins the engine too fast at road speeds. I ultimately went with the Z900. But, the GSX-S1000 is awesome for the money (with some tuning for throttle calibration issues). Just hope Suzuki revises all of the gear ratios in the next remake.
+Lifted_Above I rode it when it was just out and didn't notice the gear ratios.. the throttle response was an issue but I believe that's now addressed.. will try one again later on
Per gearingcommander, at idle (~1200 rpm) it moves 8.5 mph. At 60 mph in 6th, it's turning 4200 rpm. The ratios are so tightly spaced, they are superfluous. Perfect Suzuki transmission, terrible gear ratios (borrowed from the 2005 superbike I suppose). To contrast, my Z900 is about 6.9 mph idle and at 60, turning 4,000 rpm. About perfect. That 999 engine in the Suzuki is such a torquey beast they really should have spread the ratios much more. Launching hard is a clutch burning experience and the highway RPM should be about 400 lower.
I really like this bike, but i am leaning towards the Z900 Kawasaki, right now i can get a new one for $6900.00 usd. yes i really like the red also. very nice, thanks for your review.
Nice looking bike as well, at one point thought you were riding a Honda Grom ! not one for the taller chaps then, but I wouldn't say no to this bike for some fun!
Antares £8k is extremely cheap!! Especially when I compare them to the mountain bikes I bought over the years! I was amazed at how cheap a bike like a Ducati Panigale was! £20k for a super bike!! “I’ll take two please!! “ 😂😂
I'd like to know your opinion on this. Suzuki have made an A2 legal version of this but they aren't bringing it to the UK. I can't find it anywhere but I can find it on Suzuki France. Also if we leave the EU how do you think this would affect the A2 license if at all?
Lamb Chop.... Exellent review, thank you..I ordered black-blue colored gsx s 750...He arrived in 2 months... Here in Split - Croatia, I did not see him alive.. Only in catalog...How tall you are? Is he good for my heigh of 181 cm (5,94 feet).. Is he bigger than Yamaha MT07? I tried Yamaha , and she is a little bit small.. 10 years I ve been riding Kawasaki er6n, and this Suzuki seems a lot bigger than it, on the photos and videos...I really like the look of this Suzi...
I wouldn't say it's an entry level bike , a sv650 or mt07 or ninja 650 is the most I woukd recommend a first time rider, tbe gsxs750 is a intermediate bike like the mt09 or street triple
Excellent review! You gave this bike a shit load of compliments, but would you actually buy one? I like this bike, lots of great features, also like the z900 but it has no traction control which could be a deal breaker.
That's a tough one as I have not tried the Street Triple or the Z900 yet... If it was my money I would probably spend a little more and get the GSX-S1000 as its a slightly larger bike and fits my frame better. The Z900 looks nice but its very basic as you say, I could overlook that if it rides lovely.. I do need to try one..
Lamb Chop Rides thanks for your reply. After owning a fair few bikes including 2 bandit 1200s I now have more of a desire to own a bike which has more of a 'fun/grrrrrrr' element to it, that's why I traded my Bandit in on a vstrom 1000. These new nakeds really have my attention!
Lamb Chop Rides hopefully you will be able to test ride the z900 soon, really keen to hear your opinions on it, I have watched most reviews on it and the bike shines. I need to get test riding these bikes to see what suits me best. Love your reviews, keep up the good work! Oh yeah..... Oh mama!
Ha ha. I like your test road!! Its the perfect road to test a bike out. How did it go? I am interested in this bike, but with the roads now so bumpy its difficult to get a bike that is cheap but still has decent enough suspension to handle all road conditions. its good to see a tester who doesnt just pottle around the town or sit on a dual carriageway. Thats no way to test a bike. You have to hoon it down a B road! It certainly sounds nice!
+brian fortin tbh it feels like a lot of bike for the money compared to the 701! Cheaper than the 701 which doesn't seem possible.. However you can't really compare as they are completely different types of bikes trying to achieve different things but when you look at what you can get based on price... makes the GSX seem like amazing value!
Lamb Chop, how tall are you? I'm 6ft 1 and around 16st. Im really considering this bike, but I'm concerned I may be a bit too big (in height and weight) to not look like a tool on this bike. Do you think the S1000 may be better suited? I'd rather not spend too much if possible though so I'm wary of the price difference between the 2 models. Cheers.
Cheers Lamb Chop - the Mrs will be equally pleased with both the price and also she thinks I may kill myself on the S1000 (I have NO self control and am honestly surprised I still have a license haha!)
Chop can you take for a spin new street triple rs . I'm thinking of buying one . Had a go on new tuono factory and it's just to fast for the roads I was doing 130 everywhere
What's up with the helmet. I see you guys across the pond where those helmets with a big huge honking visor on them. I can't see the need for that? It has a lot of holes so the sun would still come in through it and to me it is just a wind magnet. I don't see the point in it really. enlighten me please. what am I missing? :-)
Budget priced not budget motorcycles. Would be out of business by now offering superior warranty. Suzuki spends its money where it counts, drive train & ride ability with smooth power delivery. Grandma could ride Suzuki 1000 cc motorcycle if she was forced to do so, well, maybe 750.
LCR. Don't forget the excellent Kawasaki Z900 as a competitor. It's not alot more money than the Suzi [£8,269 Ithink]. It's not really a middleweight I know but It's price puts it in the ballpark. It obviously has more power and a fair bit more grunt but also weighs a touch less as well, I think. I had the privilige of taking the Z900 out for a test ride the other day and wow, I was really impressed. It steers and handles really well and boy is it quick. Take one out yourself- I think you will be impressed. Keep up the good work.
16 litres. I've only taken mine up to 160 miles before filling, and it had used 11 litres. Overall average since owning the bike is 51mpg (UK), with a mix of big group rides (think 100+ bikes) and hooning.
Wonder if GSX or MT09 would be best for city use? I'm torn between GSX not having enough torque and MT09 having too much of it. Perhaps the truth is in the middle?
@@lovelessissimo well, I bought xsr900, which has the same engine as mt09 and can honestly say that that's way too much Even gsx would be too much :) I'd prefer a bike under 650cc now
@@lovelessissimo Yes, one of the guys I was doing gymkhana with had mt07. Bike is really good, engine has good soundtrack and is pleasant to ride. Though you should see if parallel twin is your thing. I'd probably prefer the v-twin if had such option
Thank you Sir, your reviews are perfect and a very helpfull when making a decision to buy one. The Dorsoduro is on my list to replace my old xt660x and the reviews I currently have seen don't even come close to your reviews!
I've riden both and Gsxs-750 feels faster than z900 and you can play with gears, rev it and learn a lot. You just can't learn on a z900 cuzz always using same so gsxs morefun
@@DsCheng81 GSX S750 makes more power than the CB650R (115 vs 87). The Honda CBR650 competes with the Kawasaki Ninja 650 or Suzuki SV650. The S750 is a way more powerful and capable bike.
WTF, a 750cc is NOT an entry-level bike! This is not a small bike, it's a big middleweight and it's not for beginners. Get a 300cc bike as a first bike and then move up. Jeez!
SV650 owner..... Not tired / outgrown of my bike yet, absolutely love it. BUT... The GSXS750 is something I think about, as a second bike purchase..

it's nice to see a Suzuki is red.
p.s I've just ordered a 2017 701 ☺
You keep calling it entry level...it makes 115 hp?
Supernova12034 I think it’s the smooth linear power that it produces. I would also guess it doesn’t put 115 hp to the ground either.
JJ with an aftermarket slip on it’ll put about 103bhp on the ground. Perfect for the roads
JJ Wrong! Same bike, Yoshimura slip on, ECU flashed , remapping the fuel delivery, turning off the 02 sensor and I’m pulling 112 hp at the rear wheel. Add one tooth to the counter sprocket and then get back to me.

Just ordered one of these 💪
Can’t wait much longer 🤤
Coming from a GSX-S125 this seems like a normal step up ☝️it’s just 100bhp more,haha !
Finally a decent rider. Any time an American reviews bikes they always look like they’re about to put it in a hedge when they go near the throttle.
Love love mine..more then quick enough on the road only downside i would say no quickshifter which a lot of other manufactures have on there bikes.
Good review, i like the way u took your footage in evryway possible not jus the helmet & handlebar like evry1 els😁
By far the best bike in the 750 range, is the triumph street triple, the handling is awesome along with everything else
Interesting a lot of folks don't pick this up in place of the KTM 690 Duke hmm
Not at all
Singles and I4s are very similar - I don't get it.
I thought I wanted a GSX-S1000F but this might be the better choice for me. That said, I’ve been also considering the SV650 and now I’m honestly torn.
Fz09 I pretty sweet also

how do you ride in the rain with that z900 and no traction control?
Same way as a bike with TC. I don't think people understand that electronic aids do not give your tires more friction with the road surface.
So have you ridden in the rain with the z900? How do you find it?

Newton Washinton The GSX-S750’s can be found for $3500-4000 brand new if you look. So around $7K OTD at most dealers.
Nice looking bike as well, at one point thought you were riding a Honda Grom ! not one for the taller chaps then, but I wouldn't say no to this bike for some fun!
Yeah that's my problem too big for these smaller bikes! Wish I was smaller really do hehe
Lamb Chop Rides nothing wrong with being a tall bloke mate ;-)
I love that helmet
4:35 I knew you're the chosen one !
+Lachezar Lazarov I'm the One 😎😎
Old video, but how would you compare the gsx-s750 vs the new cb650r ?
Another excellent review.
thanks matey!
How is nearly 8 grand a budget motorcycle? 125's are budget motorcycles.
Not in USA or UK. May be in south america..(sadly)
Antares £8k is extremely cheap!! Especially when I compare them to the mountain bikes I bought over the years!
I was amazed at how cheap a bike like a Ducati Panigale was! £20k for a super bike!! “I’ll take two please!! “ 😂😂
I'd like to know your opinion on this. Suzuki have made an A2 legal version of this but they aren't bringing it to the UK. I can't find it anywhere but I can find it on Suzuki France. Also if we leave the EU how do you think this would affect the A2 license if at all?
Great ride! You got sub
Hey man , Did you ever notice you were missing the slipper clutch while downshifting aggressively ? Thanks
Superb man
Good review, what helmet you wearing there?
Lamb Chop.... Exellent review, thank you..I ordered black-blue colored gsx s 750...He arrived in 2 months... Here in Split - Croatia, I did not see him alive.. Only in catalog...How tall you are? Is he good for my heigh of 181 cm (5,94 feet).. Is he bigger than Yamaha MT07? I tried Yamaha , and she is a little bit small.. 10 years I ve been riding Kawasaki er6n, and this Suzuki seems a lot bigger than it, on the photos and videos...I really like the look of this Suzi...
+Josko Radic enjoy it buddy, I'm 6'2 and it was fine I think you will fit it perfectly. It's certainly bigger than the MT07 so don't worry 👍
Lamb Chop Rides
Thank you for answer! I will enjoy :)
Lot of bang for your buck as they say!
Speed wise, up to say 100 mph.
Is the tuono 1100 much quicker than this?
Which one did you like best chops super duke or tuono?
hahaha love it... down this road (music plays) awesome...
Chopsy.... what was the preload setting on the front end during the footage?? Cheers mate
I wouldn't say it's an entry level bike , a sv650 or mt07 or ninja 650 is the most I woukd recommend a first time rider, tbe gsxs750 is a intermediate bike like the mt09 or street triple
Do u think a beginner can’t ride this bike ?
Excellent review! You gave this bike a shit load of compliments, but would you actually buy one? I like this bike, lots of great features, also like the z900 but it has no traction control which could be a deal breaker.
That's a tough one as I have not tried the Street Triple or the Z900 yet... If it was my money I would probably spend a little more and get the GSX-S1000 as its a slightly larger bike and fits my frame better. The Z900 looks nice but its very basic as you say, I could overlook that if it rides lovely.. I do need to try one..
Lamb Chop Rides thanks for your reply. After owning a fair few bikes including 2 bandit 1200s I now have more of a desire to own a bike which has more of a 'fun/grrrrrrr' element to it, that's why I traded my Bandit in on a vstrom 1000. These new nakeds really have my attention!
Yes they are great, if you want maximum fun factor you have to try the MT-10 or Super Duke they are incredible :-)
Lamb Chop Rides hopefully you will be able to test ride the z900 soon, really keen to hear your opinions on it, I have watched most reviews on it and the bike shines. I need to get test riding these bikes to see what suits me best. Love your reviews, keep up the good work! Oh yeah..... Oh mama!
I'm keen on getting this as my first bike I know it's a 750 but I just don't seem happy with the honda 500f
then get A2 honda cb650f
Boys its been two years 🤣 Since now I've ridden the MT07 and im currently riding the Kawa Z900
Just nit-picking, but the front fender could be a little smaller...
Ugh wish I didn't watch this video! Nothing against you man, it just makes me want this bike too much. I might have to go out and buy one
loving my 2014 GSR 750! great bike and reasonable FC too for a big bike. anyway anyone know whats the song from 4:30 to 5:30??
+Faiz Hussain that the song while giving it the beans? If so it's from the Matrix Reloaded, bike chase scene, can't think of the name..
ahh thanks man! appreciate it!
have you done a review on the 2017 z 900 if not will you be doing one .
Nice machine 👍
Ha ha. I like your test road!! Its the perfect road to test a bike out. How did it go? I am interested in this bike, but with the roads now so bumpy its difficult to get a bike that is cheap but still has decent enough suspension to handle all road conditions. its good to see a tester who doesnt just pottle around the town or sit on a dual carriageway. Thats no way to test a bike. You have to hoon it down a B road! It certainly sounds nice!
Why don't they put helmet holders on motorcycles any more?
Hi LC, your helmet looks pretty cool, what model is it? Cheers.
+TheSteps62 it's an Icon Variant matey 👍
I'm looking at upgrading from the CB650F, what do you prefer the suzi or the MT09. I'm yet to ride either.
Honda CB1000R?
captainengland I thought about that but it's a bit primitive. The 2018 model however is a different ball game
Would this bike be ok for highway riding if you put a windscreen on it you think?
It's fine without a windshield - clean airflow.
how does that bike compare to the 701? I absolutely love my 2017 701 SM.
+brian fortin tbh it feels like a lot of bike for the money compared to the 701! Cheaper than the 701 which doesn't seem possible.. However you can't really compare as they are completely different types of bikes trying to achieve different things but when you look at what you can get based on price... makes the GSX seem like amazing value!
Lamb Chop, how tall are you? I'm 6ft 1 and around 16st. Im really considering this bike, but I'm concerned I may be a bit too big (in height and weight) to not look like a tool on this bike. Do you think the S1000 may be better suited? I'd rather not spend too much if possible though so I'm wary of the price difference between the 2 models. Cheers.
Im 6ft 2 Stephen and 18 stone and the bike has some substance so you will be fine
Cheers Lamb Chop - the Mrs will be equally pleased with both the price and also she thinks I may kill myself on the S1000 (I have NO self control and am honestly surprised I still have a license haha!)
Chop can you take for a spin new street triple rs . I'm thinking of buying one . Had a go on new tuono factory and it's just to fast for the roads I was doing 130 everywhere
+lukaszg74 yes planning on it, in discussion with Triumph 😎
What lid are you rockin in the vid mate?
do a lexmoto lxr 125cc video
What's up with the helmet. I see you guys across the pond where those helmets with a big huge honking visor on them. I can't see the need for that? It has a lot of holes so the sun would still come in through it and to me it is just a wind magnet. I don't see the point in it really. enlighten me please. what am I missing? :-)
Is this bike good for 191sm guy?
When engine size must a bike be until it's not considered an entry level anymore ? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Budget priced not budget motorcycles. Would be out of business by now offering superior warranty.
Suzuki spends its money where it counts, drive train & ride ability with smooth power delivery.
Grandma could ride Suzuki 1000 cc motorcycle if she was forced to do so, well, maybe 750.
I find the styling to be a bit too safe, nothing wrong with that really but I would have confused it with a Honda, kinda anonymous.
Love it or leave it - it is pure Suzuki. No modern Honda looks like this.
Nissan = Car company, Nissin = Motorcycle brake company
Yes yes I know, mispronunciation at its finest
LCR. Don't forget the excellent Kawasaki Z900 as a competitor. It's not alot more money than the Suzi [£8,269 Ithink]. It's not really a middleweight I know but It's price puts it in the ballpark. It obviously has more power and a fair bit more grunt but also weighs a touch less as well, I think. I had the privilige of taking the Z900 out for a test ride the other day and wow, I was really impressed. It steers and handles really well and boy is it quick. Take one out yourself- I think you will be impressed. Keep up the good work.
How many litres in that fuel tank and how far will they take you?
16 litres.
I've only taken mine up to 160 miles before filling, and it had used 11 litres.
Overall average since owning the bike is 51mpg (UK), with a mix of big group rides (think 100+ bikes) and hooning.
Wonder if GSX or MT09 would be best for city use? I'm torn between GSX not having enough torque and MT09 having too much of it. Perhaps the truth is in the middle?
You mean the Z900 it hits the zweet zpot.
@@lovelessissimo well, I bought xsr900, which has the same engine as mt09 and can honestly say that that's way too much
Even gsx would be too much :)
I'd prefer a bike under 650cc now
@@bohdanherasymenko7569 did you try the xsr700?
@@lovelessissimo Yes, one of the guys I was doing gymkhana with had mt07. Bike is really good, engine has good soundtrack and is pleasant to ride. Though you should see if parallel twin is your thing. I'd probably prefer the v-twin if had such option
@@bohdanherasymenko7569 I rode a Ninja 650 for years. It had a boring sound, but it was a great bike.
Reminds me of the 2008 bandit 650 I had only much better and quicker than the bandit 650
Can you test the new Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 once there is one to test?
+BorisBeer24 yes on the cards soon hopefully
Thank you Sir, your reviews are perfect and a very helpfull when making a decision to buy one.
The Dorsoduro is on my list to replace my old xt660x and the reviews I currently have seen don't even come close to your reviews!
is it good for pillion riding. it two up comfortable???
no its not i have one and i hardly go 2up as its so bad
There isnt many bikes in this segment that works well for that. I only have heard of the aprilia shiver being comfortable for that so far
could you try and do a kawasaki z900 please
Yes hoping Kawasaki will get involved and lend me one at some point!
Quite fancy trading my MT07 in for one of these.
Was thinking the same thing haha!
I've ridden both. Fz07 is nice. Gsx-s is a good choice also.
How big are those mirrors? Fucking massive, yes.
Im Dead Silence
All the better to be seen in my dear.
Im Dead Silence if you have wide shoulders like i do you can't see anything out of them...
No they are small tbh, could do with being a little bigger! Must be the camera which gives that illusion
How about versus a Kaw Z900? Which is more fun?
I've riden both and Gsxs-750 feels faster than z900 and you can play with gears, rev it and learn a lot. You just can't learn on a z900 cuzz always using same
so gsxs morefun
Is this better or the 2019 Honda CBR650R? Which one would you recommend?
CBR650R has a 100cc smaller.
@@DsCheng81 GSX S750 makes more power than the CB650R (115 vs 87). The Honda CBR650 competes with the Kawasaki Ninja 650 or Suzuki SV650. The S750 is a way more powerful and capable bike.
WTF, a 750cc is NOT an entry-level bike! This is not a small bike, it's a big middleweight and it's not for beginners. Get a 300cc bike as a first bike and then move up. Jeez!
