Would be great if you could share what it's all costing you - initial purchase, all the bits and pieces, etc. Of course you're not paying for the workshop hours, which would probably more than double the overall cost but it'd still be interesting I think.
It’s so much nicer when a bike is taken out of decommission and given a new lease of life. When Bob fired her up she sounded ready for the off already! Unfortunately we cannot experience the smell of the workshop and the first whiff of the exhaust fumes which all adds to the excitement!
Great bikes GSXR 750's ....totally agree for a sports bike they are so balanced, and only require some little mods. Enjoying this rebuild Neevsey and it must be great owning your own bike rather than a loaner.
I've been methodically recuperating from Covid 19 and have been down on my spirits the last 2-3years..My clutch plates needed replacing along with my clutch cable and a few other things...Well I'm feeling much better these days and managed to square away everything that needed to be addressed on my 03 gsxr 750 and haven't stopped smiling yet..So I can relate to the smell and that gorgeous sound of the exhaust coming out of my M4 stainless pipe..Woop!☺️😎🤌
Thanks for these videos Michael. I’ve been on my travels. Just back from weekend at Le Mans MotoGP. The speed and skills on show are amazing. Particularly their braking which has to be seen to be believed. Got me thinking, how quick could I lap on one of the GP bikes and how quick could any of the MotoGP riders lap on my old SV650. You soon realise that it’s the rider not the bike that is the key factor in riding fast. Love to hear your thoughts on rider skills versus bike bling for quicker lap times. Is there a sweet spot? Cheers.
Starting to look great. Love the sound too, I have the same exhaust set up on my 2011 GSXR750. Not too loud or too quiet and still has 130hp at the wheel. Can't wait to see it all finished up😊👍
Captive spacers are great I've got them on my K6GSXR made in the UK and great quality product,,so you will be enjoying your bike soon for the summer ⛱️,,from northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️😊
Great to see it coming together. I have SBS RST pads on mine, you won't be disappointed, work fine on the road and awesome once you get some heat in them. I have HEL lines as well.
Thanks so much for the series and the little details that you mention. It helps me to get my GSX R-600 modified, learn more about it and even enjoy it more than I already do (got mine last year - 2016 Modell). I need to get captive wheel spacers now! 😅
Neevesy, once you got all body work ordered, I believe you should get the same design thats on your helmet and put in on the GSXR and could be a very rare “Neevesy Edition” 💪 ive just got my K3 GSXR 600 in the garage, getting all the fluids replaced after in for 2 years can’t wait to go along the journey with you 👊
Nice to see your GSX being improved and made ready for the season, I put some braided lines on my CBR400RR and that really has made a difference in braking confidence and riding the thing as intended. Put a new bike in the garage this weekend and I know you enjoyed the V100 Mandello at the launch in Italy Neevsey, so finally pulled the trigger on one and getting to grips with so much tech and torque!
😊 Mate, can you stop hyping the 750 up! At this rate the price will jump 30% and i was planning on getting another one at some point. I've had a K3, a K8 750. I was looking at the same model you have just had too. But a clean SL1000 Falco came up so grabed that for now to replace my 1100 V4. Going old skool again. Bumped i to someone who knows you the other day here in New Zealand. I'm an EX pat myself working in the motorcycle industry here. Forbes and Davies, Cassons AU, MCH holding ltd. I'm guessing with your years in the industry you recognize some of these name. Loving the channel, watching while sat on my spin bike. Enjoy sir. Wishing you all the best from New Zealand. Regards
Yeah I remember when I learned about the banjo bolt on the oem master on my 1000. Ended up putting a real Brembo Corsa Corta master on it after riding it once. Oem rotors were fine for racing but that master sucked. And my god those caltive spacers are a must
I would love to know where you purchased the right angled valve stems ? I have a frustrating time checking tire pressure and adding air with the standard stems on the Suzuki. It's doable but would be so much easier with the ones you have now. Cheers
The company JMP makes them in a variety of colours, and you can find them a couple of places on the web. Normally you need the 11,3mm version and make sure it's with cone shaped seal. The ones with just an external o-ring tend to leak.
Great job with the Gixer. Would you mind letting us know what make and who supplies the angle valves because I have tried a few but they never seem to work properly. cheers Tom
Make sure that radiator guard doesn't gather small stones and wear through your radiator. It recently happened on my GSXR1000R. I've heard it happen to a couple of others too. I take mine off to inspect every couple thousand ks now.
@@GSXR.Knightman Cheers. yeah had a pretty good run with them. Our old track had fine gravel coming into pit lane and I'd say it was the lesser of two evils for sure
@doctorhelicopter less of 2 evils for sure. The guys in the shop I take my 1000 to said my radiator would have been totalled a lot earlier without the guard. The country roads I ride are in really bad condition. The local council has a tar spraying machine that adds tiny sharp gravel shards and they never sweep the roads.
Neevsey, I'm looking for my next motorcycle. I've owned two street triples 675, a zx6r, and cbr600rr. I want the bike to be reliable. I'm looking at the mt09 (can't stand the looks really), another street triple in 765, the 890 duke, or maybe something spicy like a tuono. You always recommend the bikes in looking at, but in your dream garage you have a tuono. I'll be predominantly on tight mountain roads in north Georgia. I do plan to do some track days too. Thoughts?
My HDs were always noisier than the blade hed just failed on noise. So i asked why. He said it just saves me the trouble of switching pipes once a year as he knew i ways kept the original systems.
Hey Michael, Nice to see the bike is coming along! 2 questions for you. Firstly, where did you order your front sprocket from? Secondly, will you need to change the chain at all? Thanks. Rich.
Was eagerly waiting for the next instalment, question for you where did you source the replacement fairings just a local dealer or a specific website ?
Thank you for your videos I really enjoy them, great work👍 Just out of interests what is the mileage on the bike? Or what 2nd hand Gsxr 750 would you consider for track days? Balancing between K... and L... model vs milage. Interestingly where I live in europe I can get K.. with 18k vs L.... 30k on clock (km). Cheers
Hi Michael. Great vids thanks. Can you tell me the part no. or type of SBS brake pads you intend to fit please? I am working to improve the front brake feel on my 2017 L7 GSX-R 750. Similar for the Hel lines you intend to use. I guess you intend to run 2 lines from the Brembo MC? Part number again appreciated. I think we have the same Brembo MC. Greetings from Switzerland. Ian
@@neevesybikes Hi Michael - I tried the pads as suggested. Great improvement on road. Thanks for the suggestion. The ones I removed were Brembos and were inferior in power and feel. Sorry to be a geek but another question (if you don't have the answer, maybe your mate Bob has). I'm running a Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder with the standard calipers. I'm going the 2 line route and was wondering whether the double banjo on the right caliper is the correct size/pitch (M10x1.0 Pitch) for use on the master cylinder? If so, that'd be fantastic as it'd be a simple swop, only new copper washers would be needed 🙂
Hi Michael - OK, please ignore my question regarding banjo bolts. After much googling, I see that the pitch of the caliper bolts is different to that of the master cylinder. Time to go shopping 🙂
Oh God this is getting dangerous now. My work-from-home dosser morning routine has become: make cup of tea -> watch the latest Neevesybikes -> browse AutoTrader -> ponder how a GSXR will fit in my small garage next to my beloved Hypermotard 950 SP -> research the cost of a divorce lawyer. Maybe I need to unsubscribe! 😬 Cracking job, very jealous! Looking forward to the next update...
Asking if maybe someone would give an advice? I currently have a 2019 Street Triple RS. I am looking at converting it as a pure trackday bike (daytona fairing and clip-ons). Dont have much time anymore to ride on the road and I drive to fast on the road tbh. Would you advise to keep the STT or sell it and buy a GSXR 750 (also modified as a pure trackday)
Hi Neevesy, I’m a poor man with rich tastes - I currently own a 1998 Suzuki gsx600f (converted to a Cafe Racer). If ever funds permit, I would love to buy another bike, particularly a Mv Augusta F4 750 (around 2000 model year). I know on paper the gsxr750 would be the better option, but the MV just takes my breath away looking at it. Any advice you have for considering the future purchasing of the MV, what’s good / bad about them and reliability? Thanks for the great content, from an avid viewer and aspirational squid 😁
Hi I currently own a K7 GSX-R750 which has done 40k Miles is there much difference between these older models to the L series that you have just bought? Also will you remap the bike once you’ve got it on the road thanks
I like how a mcn employee .Mate i just ride the latest .I don't work on them .I love this tested mcn, latest new bikes .But i could never afford to buy one .To have as my own .
Going to be such a great bike. First thing I always do with new bikes, is put those right-angle valves in, cheap, but makes life that little easier :) Did they put this engine in the GSX-S 750?
That Yoshi pipe is nice and all but maybe go for the factory Suzuki Yoshimura Japan GP EVO slip on. I think you had 750 on the channel recently with one and it was perfection.
Everyone needs a Bob

2013 was the best color scheme for the L1 Gixxer 750. I'm pretty jealous. Cheers!
the sound of GSXRs is with the yoshi pipe
Agreed 👌 Michael keep the Yoshi pls!
I like how he holds his beer like a microphone.
What a cracking appraisal and lovely bloke. Tasteful GSXR is somehow classy, I like the can too, surely someone out there can tidy it up?

Shaping up beautifully. Looking forward to seeing this put back together and on the road.

Exciting times Mr. Neeves! I'm really looking forward to seeing both you and it getting acquainted.
I changed the plugs on my l1 its everything you have to remove to get to them all adds to the fun. ❤

Great job so far 👏 I like the progress 👍
love this series neevesey. cant wait to see you enjoy it.
Great vid, can't wait for the next one
Marvelous bike!!! Good acquisition 😉👏I hope you enjoy it A LOT!
Great video mate, I would prefer a longer video please 🙏 😂
I love the love you're giving the GSXR! Regards.
Seems you’ve bought a little gem mate here 👍🏽, all coming together so quickly , i bet your well chuffed , sounds awesome 🔥🔥🔥😎

Awesome video! I do love these! What a beautiful bike. Best!
5:45 that s the best mod!!!! back wheel is a pain.
Great video, looking forward to the next instalment.
Great stuff, wont be long before that's back at your place. With Bob on the case.
Should get in contact with mhp exhaust they will sort the dent out on the exhaust
Love a good garage vid 👌
Congrats! Cool bike and awesome garage with apparently a Gxer guru!)
Looks well. 👍
I have the K8 600, those spark plugs are a … to change 😅
It sounds bloody good Neevesy, bet you can,t wait to throw ya leg over it! 😆😆
I love it! Everything, all of it! :)
Love this.
Wish i had a mate like that!!

The prices are already up to high. What I paid for my 08 9 years ago is what they are selling for now
Yeah I remember when I learned about the banjo bolt on the oem master on my 1000. Ended up putting a real Brembo Corsa Corta master on it after riding it once. Oem rotors were fine for racing but that master sucked. And my god those caltive spacers are a must
This series has inspired me to start my own channel, so I've got an excuse to the missus to buy more bikes!
I'd love one of these

The 991 GT3 looks 🔥
Abrazo desde Argentina . Great Bike Congrat
You have to flip the clip ons from left to right, upside down. One of the best mods i have done for my L1 GSXR 750. Its so roomy now👍💪
👀 You need that Porsche too…
\\\that man is a gem// well done sir
Great job with the Gixer. Would you mind letting us know what make and who supplies the angle valves because I have tried a few but they never seem to work properly. cheers Tom
puig makes them.
That is a very tasty bike!
Great video
Can you give info about how much is total cost versus buying an undamaged similar spec example?
Bought 3 new bikes this year my ho to my 2024 GSXR750 best bike ever.
Anything with hot sticky tyres, i like to run a radiator guard. Is that a suede seat? I'd probably go back to original and run Stomp grips

the paint job at the levers, is as good as my brand new GSXS-GT, maybe even better ?
about 2008- 2016 model years are basically modern bikes for outstanding low prices, as compared to new bikes
Hey Michael, Nice to see the bike is coming along! 2 questions for you. Firstly, where did you order your front sprocket from? Secondly, will you need to change the chain at all? Thanks. Rich.
Hi mate. It's a Renthal sprocket...and you won't need to do anything to the chain. It just lengthens the wheelbase a bit.
Thanks mate! Looking forward to the next video! Good luck with the rest of the build! 👍🏼
Was eagerly waiting for the next instalment, question for you where did you source the replacement fairings just a local dealer or a specific website ?
I've ordered them through Suzuki Vintage Parts
Thank you for your videos I really enjoy them, great work👍

I think mine's done around 4000 miles. I think any 750 from K6 onwards is a good bet.
