    Great vid. You can tell this is a real labour of love & he's so passionate & excited about it. No doubt the end result will be stunning & can't wait to see & hear it when it's finished. There's another series for the channel you've started whether you meant to or not lol.

    That bike is a testament to the skill of the welder/fabricator who did the modifications. I can imagine it once the bodywork is fitted... I'd be happy enough just sitting & looking at it to take in all the detail. Nevertheless, 150 bhp with that frame might be a bit of a challenge to master. I remember Roger Marshall & his Harris GSXR11 in '87 (a.k.a 'the Beast'). If someone could do a road going version, it would be quite something (frame would cope better with the power I would have thought). I remember some years ago seeing a bike claiming to have the frame from the Beast come up for sale so it may be still out there somewhere...

    Seeing these bikes and the enthusiasm you guys have takes me back me to the days of my youth and the source of the passion for motorcycling that still burns strong in all of us. Thank you.

    Nice! Something special about a labour of love, restored / restomod bike. I’ve got a shopping list as long as my arm for my old bike - but keeping an oldskool Suzuki on the road is priceless!

    Neevesy what a fantastic video. Your bike building mate has given many of us wet dreams. Many thanks.
    I have a 86 GSXR that was my bros for many years. Not that it will be close to this but I will make a solid effort to come close. The braced frame is purrfect, I’ll definitely be using cues from that and the brilliant idea of a bandit 1200 motor. I already have many parts for it. And winters in Canada make for shop/garage time bigtime. Once again thank you for this amazing video 🙏

    Lee has done a great job welding, fabricating and machining those parts. Creative and skilled. Those cerakote crankcases are lovely. And all the ally vapour blasted looks excellent. Beautiful job. Lovely details.
    Thank-you for showing us 👍

    Another great video about the Gixxer!
    It's funny that last Monday I typed a very long question about the new middle weight sports bikes that I was checking.
    Over the weekend, a test ride at the other side of the country, I now joined the owenership of a L1 Gixxer 600, in metalic blue which matches the year and colour of my car.
    A very happy man.
    Keep updating and inspiring us sports bike fans, Mr.Neevesy!

    Some nice bikes in that shed, fair play, like that second gen R1. I had an 85 750 slap side, got stolen from Middlesex Poly in Trent Park in 1987. I had an 1986 86 slabside in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, in 1992, great bike. Tank got dented from a freak hailstorm in the middle of Summer. That metal fabricator is a skilled craftsman in the real sense. Love this content.

    Looking forward to the next update, I have a similar build (Slabside 750 with Bandit 1200 trackbike) That I started building during COVID, currently running Skoal Bandit paint, the quality of the mods on Dave's bike are dreamworld stuff, buy like Bob I love the Slabbie's and wouldn't change mine for the world (Ok maybe an RC30:) . Ride mainly at Classic Bike track days with occasional modern bike day, so looking forward to seeing it on track one day

    Love Bob's bike, can't wait for it to feature again. Those Mikuni tmr carbs are fantastic, I've got some on mine, good on the road too. I think it's 1246 cc, it's the largest you can take the Bandit sleeves out to. Love old oil cooled GSXRs !
