I’m 62 & on my 3rd 750, had an 05,07 & currently on a 2014 Anniversary Edition, absolutely the best bike for street or track. I ride street & do a few track days every year, amazing bikes!
I'm born in 1988 and this year I got my first ever street bike (2010 Suzuki GSXR750) , I've been riding quads and dirt bikes all my life but this is a new chapter for me, it's amazing seeing elder generations riding the same amazing bikes! Thanks for sharing your kind words!
Love, LOVE hearing these stories guys!! I had a bunch of gs1100e('82-'83), a gs1000e('79), and finally a '90 ZX 1000 I grabbed for like $1800 around 1996 I'm guessing.. but nothing even remotely close to what these newer EFI bikes are capable of! Finally bought my first brand new bike, a 2003 GSX-R 1k, and my God I was in heaven!! I put 60kmi on it in the first 4 years I had it, and a few more before selling it after like 5 years as driving it as my daily driver!! I rode it up and down the east coast, rode it in -15°f weather to the grocery store and even made a 20 mile ride in the middle of a blizzard with 6 inches of snow on the ground already to get to court to avoid a warrant by the corrupt court system!! 2-1/2 miles on the back wheel, around 450+ feet on the front wheel doing rolling stoppies, and many other stunts from highchair wheelies to tank spreaders and so on... By far the best bike I've ever ridden let alone owned -- absolutely my dream bike, and I wish I never sold it- but after 5 years as my daily driver I needed a break on those nasty days.. God bless y'all, and shiny side up! ♥️🙏💯🏍️🇺🇲🙏♥️
The flickability of a 600 with more punch, without the balls-out 'idiot zone' of a 1000cc. Literally the perfect bike.... probably the only bike i'd trade my 1400 in for!
A K5 gsxr 750 made me fall in love with sports bikes again, 2 weeks later I bought a new gsxr k7 1000, they still one of the best bikes I've ever ridden to this day
I thoroughly miss my K7 750 and plan to own another one in the near future. Such a great machine. Perfect blend of power and reliability, combined with functionality and looks.
Having owned a GSX-R750 and a GSX-R1000, I totally agree that the 750 was a better all-round bike. I'm not saying the big gixxer wasn't a good bike (it definitely was!) , but I definitely enjoyed the 750 more.
Me too, total Shcwantz fan boy. I always tell people about his high speed off in the wet when he held on to the clutch sliding at 160mph from first place. He kept the bike running with 3 broken fingers, got back on and finished top 3, what a man
I love how much you love the 750! I had my first, a K5 back in 2011 then got a L1 last year which I recently replaced with another L1 but just for the track.
I had a K6 and lived 20 mins from Donington. Track day heaven (and good old Mallory as well). Such a great bike and very often passed 1000cc's at Mallory. I live in Oz now and miss those days. Bloody incredible bike!
Your long term owners review in 2011 was one of the reasons I brought this bike two years ago (2015 model). I am 56 years old and was concerned that it would be uncomfortable on the wrists and backside. I ride the GSXR, normally for 4 hours at a time, normally with a lunch break in between. I just love it. The sound the handling the predictability compared to other bikes I have owned and ridden. I can see why, even back then, you seemed dissappointed to give your long term loaner back...so thank you Neevsey-as always. love you content time and candor in your reviews.
That's great to hear, I am 20 years younger and have the naked GSX-S 750 as I thought it will be more comfy over the R, but I still hear to calling of the supersport in the back of my head...
@@KapitanPisoar1 The first ride I had on the GSXR was a three hour ride back from where I brought the machine. I was prepared to have a sore back and wrists, as my intention buying the bike was just to ride the local short twisties. (I'm in New Zealand). To my total surprise I was very comfortable. I think the trick is to keep a slight bend in your elbows so you don't lock you arms and absorb all the shock. My other bike is an Indian Roadmaster so I'm used to comfort. The best bike you will own is the one you will ride. If you love the naked stick with that or take and R for a ride and see what you think. Safe riding.
@@husseyfamily509 Thanks for the info. I do love my naked and only have it for a year and done 12000km on it. I live in Canada, thankfully in the mountains, but there is still lot of straight roads, where I would appreciate the fairings and the 20kg lower weight compared to the naked I bet would appreciate on the twisties. There is and used R in dealership 2 hours away, so I thinking about trading them. Will see...
Got a k7 750 honestly one of the best bikes I’ve owned. Nothing comes close to the rawness of these things. Yes you can find more refined bikes out there. But these have something special to them.
Great video. I have a GSXR 1000 K7, my personal bike and it is the best motorcycle I have ever ridden and I get excited each and every time I go out on it. I love the look, feel and spirit of the GSXR range. Simply amazing bikes.
Thanks so much Mr Neeves for such an excellent review, this bring so many fond GSX750R memories back for this ex owner of 1989 oil-cooled red/white J (my first sportbike) and again in 2009 going back to Suzuki's K9. Although I'm own a R6 now, the first love will always be the Gixxer !
As i am an old git (68) i thought my sports bike riding was over, that was till i saw an immaculate GSXR750 L5 for sale, still have it now and its my baby lol never lets me down starts first click and looks wonderful. long live this amazing motorcycle, Thanks neevsey, you bought tears to me eyes.
Love that colour scheme, but then Ive got a 98 SRAD!! Only bike that Ive preferred to mine, after years of suspension mods etc, is my Dad's K5. What a bike👍
Great video as always Michael, I did chuckle when you did a big sniff half way through saying “ it made 133bhp at the back wheel, which is not to be sniffed at” Never rode the later 750 but did get to ride the Slingshot model, very nice.
After a long GSXR750 hiatus, owned an ‘86 during college, I bought a ‘23 last year after watching your L1 long-termer video. Considered several modern options, but I kept coming back to your video… watched over and over… and it pulled at my heartstrings every time. It is the best all-around sport bike.
It’s just so weird that this 750 class disappeared… I’ve had many bikes & my gsxr750 was easily one of the best. Literally the perfect balance with near 600 size & weight but that extra 750 oomph.
Hey Neevesy, highly enjoyable video! As a fellow GSXR750 fan, currently on my 4th, L1 (great bike) I could happily listen to you talking about these amazing bikes all day!
Had a blue and white GSXR 750K4. I loved that bike, which I kept for nearly 5 years. The motor made great torque and had that beautiful induction note that GSXR'S of that era made. An absolutely brilliant bike that kept some bigger bikes honest too 😁
…stunning machine, both to look at and to ride. The definition of reliability as well. I’ve gone back to an ‘05 blade after riding all the more modern 1000’s. The rose tinted spectacles aren’t necessary, 2005-2015 was the zenith decade for Sportsbikes, maybe? Awesome content as always, Sir. 👍👍
Great look back at a true icon, the gsxr750 started the 4 stroke race rep era and turned into an absolute gem 👍🏻 We thought the way to more enjoyment was more power, but it becomes self defeating and sometimes the bike is taking you for a ride ! Never give up Neevesy, you've turned into the 00s 750 yourself 🍻
Great vid! love the bike and you raving about it, have been wanting one for a couple of years now but lack the cash, because of your review now the prices will go up so thanks a lot!😉
Wow If you were 16 in 1986 that means that you're 54 in 2024, Jeez that's astonishing because you look 30! Good genetics mate~ and cheers for this video of this absolutely beautiful bike
Hi. Excellent video packed with fantastic information. When that very first race replica GSXR 750 came out in 1985, I remember seeing it screaming through a winding road, I thought - "what was that?". At the time I didn't know what it was, I went to all the local bike shops in Australia to find it, and yes I learned about the GSXR 750. Couldn't afford it because I was still a student. Later when I started working I saved up and bought a new tri colour 1995 Honda Fireblade. Now after owning 30+ bikes, and having a 2024 S1000RR and 2008 1098S (pre all electronics) in my garage that I look at every night, I still miss those 80s-mid to late 2000s pure sports bikes. And at those times being excited every 2 years to see the updates. Regards and have a great day! PS: Now wanting to add a street fighter, naked bike to the garage but man I just can't decide ... 890 Duke R, Duke GP, MT09, MT10, 765R or RS, the list goes on ... tough choice. It's easier to choose a Superbike. PSS: Previous Suzuki bikes I've owned are DR250 (my first bike) GSXR1000 K7, L1, the 2017 model (traded it on a RS660 - that was a mistake RS only lasted 6 months then moved it on - I wish I kept the Suzi).
I sold my last owned gsxr750 4 years ago and i always regret it, over time i had 9 sportsbikes, 3 were gsxr's, 750 slingshot, 600srad and then the 750gsxr L model, you can never go wrong with a gsxr that is well priced and looked after
I test rode a K4 GSX-R750 2 years ago only 6 months after I passed my test, it was breathtaking, I couldn't believe how connected I felt to the bike. I didn't buy it as I know I would either lose my licence or my life. I still regret that decision!
Had a K7, a lovely bike, but after coming from an 08 R1 - the Gixxer just felt too clinical and did everything well. Ended up selling for that reason, which I later regretted. Had a deposit on the one that came after the K7 too - the one that looked a bit more like a transformer at the front (and the ABC riding modes) but went for the R1 in the end.
😂 I am so easily influenced that I actually bought an L1 750 today purely because of this video and your older MCN long term one. Gonna see if I end up enjoying it more than my Street 765 RS as one will have to go,
Well said neevesybikes. Always love your clips. I just picked up a 2011 L1 GSXR750 off a family member. I wasn't keen on a 750 but it was to cheep to say no. My last bike was a 2010 Hayabusa and before that a SV650 and have ridden lots of bikes from Hayabusa's to Harley's. I have been pleasantly surprised by how good and fast the GSXR 750 really is. I flipped the clip on's from left to right and put them upside down which gave me about a 2 inch rise for free which has made it even better for me. I'm also surprised how much room it has, I'm 6 foot 7 tall and 110kg and it still feels great for a sport bike. (I know I shouldn't be riding sport bikes at my size but they are just to much fun)🤪 I also changed the front sprocket down one to a 16tooth and the back up 2 to a 47tooth. It has made it accelerate more like a 1000. Just such a rideable bike. Was going to ride it for a year then get a GSXS1000 but after a few rides and the mods I've done to it I'm thinking of keeping it now, Such a good reliable bike
The Gixxer 750 is really a perfect bike. My own from 2000 is under continus development now just under 180kg with a full tank and just under 160 hk in the engine a blast to ride. Now named GSXR750RR. 😀
Had two SRAD 750s and loved them. As you say, best all round balance and performance. Never aspired to a 1000, as I knew I would never use all of the performance and survive!
I test rode one recently. The rider position is too extreme for my old bones but the 750 is sublime. Within just a mile I fully understood all the hubbub about this bike. It is sublime. If I were to buy a sport bike it would be this. 🙌
I remember looking for my first big bike back in 2006 and i decided on the k3 gsxr 600 based on the cheap insurance £350 tptf for a 30 odd year old with zero no claims and just passed my direct access but the selling point for me was the bikes low weight at about 163kg. The 750cc and the 1000cc are equally low weight with just a few kg's of difference between the range of 600cc to 1000cc. The k5-k6 1000cc was 166kg and 176 bhp making it the best power to weight ratio superbike at the time apart from the mighty 2004-2005 zx10r which was about the same power to weight ratio at 1.06 bhp to 1 kg as it was 181 bhp and 170kg, so a little bit heavier. Both are iconic bikes and lightweight compared with todays 200kg superbikes and it goes to show that you really cant push the boundaries any further with a 1000cc bike although i think the panigale v4s was pushing about 1.2-1.3 bhp per kg. The zx10r and the gsxr 1000 of that time are iconic for that reason and they are exceptional superbikes at affordable prices and the only reason that i would not personally opt for the 750cc at that time was the fact that the insurance and the road tax was the same rate as having a 1000cc gsxr. I have owned 2x k6 gsxr 1000cc and at full throttle and approaching maximum speed i felt as though the front end was too light and twitchy for me to have the confidence to go balls to the wall with that bike so i can understand the balance of the power to handling of the 750cc.
In the states we have the 2024 models, 600-1000 and , from what Liberty Media is doing with the purchase of Dorna. I believe Suzuki will re-enter the game very soon just as BMW is moving into MotoGP!! Love this video. I smiled the entire way through it as I have the same emotional response to the bike. You nearly rubbed the paint off that pillion cover a time or two. I know you love that bike! Ride safe!
Very tempted to grab one of these, they look beautiful. They still sell them new here in the US. However I'm a bit skeptical of going back to inline 4 engines as a long time v-twin old superbike convert. Will need to test ride one :)
Back in 21 I was looking to buy a Street triple RS when I saw 21 M1 750 same as L1😂 it was cheaper more hp so I took for a test ride now it’s my forever bike❤. Note 21 was the last year for GSXR750/600 in NZ because of ABS laws.
Completely agree. I was always in the SRAD camp, even though I went ZX7R (and again more recently). In both cases, as I got older, lack of ABS for road riding became more of a concern. Such was my love, even tried to figure out if a BOSCH system could be fitted! Although I went green, there is no argument, the GSXR750 was miles ahead in power, weight and dynamics. What a bike..
I'm recently back into biking after a long lay off and currently ride a Triumph Tiger 1200 Gt Pro as my age and body couldn't cope with a sports bike but it's great to hear you reminiscing. I've always loved race reps and racing (Cadwell Park season ticket holder) and love the easy way you explain everything for us mere mortals and fan boys. Keep up the great work sir.
Restrictions on bikes were well under way well before this bike, the Y2k ZX9r had two cats in the back box and link pipe, making the titanium exhaust very heavy, I have the original exhaust in my bedroom. Removing that probably made it lighter than this overall (for the E1+ models), but still due to design and a full 19l fuel tank, they are top heavy which is very noticable when manual handling the bike, proper underrated beast 😎
Love the series Neevesy wanted a quick good humoured rant about gixxers. Everyone goes on about k5 gsxr1000 being better than k7, I have owned a k8 limited edition rizla moto gp rep for 16 years, twin titanium yoshis and link pipe reducing weight and it makes 170 bhp at the back wheel. It has 28bhp more than k5, more torque is lighter better handling and better brakes so how can a k5 be better? Look forward to your opinion.
Okay neeves, i hear you, i hear you. Last sportbike video i cried out that there are no sportbikes in this category and then you release this video. Great quality as always!
There are lots of reasons why my track bike is a K6 750. Partly because I ran across one that wasn't running and the owner (his wife, really) was sick of messing with it. But mostly it was because I had had a few 600s before it and I really liked the K6 600 as a track bike and the thought of having the same handling with more power was too exciting to pass up.
I have a 2013 gsxr750 that ive owned from new. Best balanced bike ive ever ridden and ive had alot of sportsbikes! Great power and handling balance. Suzuki made a massive mistake getting rid of it
That was quite a hymn to the 750😅 But totally agree. What a bike. As a 600 owner I cannot wait to upgrade to a 750. BTW your brother's bikes are stunning. You should make a video on every single one..
I actually wanted to send you a message and ask you what is your all-round favourite sports bike, you gave me your answer with this video. And yes, it really is a shame that Suzuki never updated the 750 after the L1 model because this is the kind of sport bike we want and need. As you've said, a perfect blend of everything and actually usable and fun on both road and track. Cheers!!
Sold my 2023 V2 and bought a 2024 GSXR750 and know best move I have ever made. More comfortable and 100% more DEPENDABLE. I am 2 sec slower per lap but can ride day after day no issues the V2 in shop every 2 track days total crap. First oil change no metal. Ducati had chunks aluminum and steel was told that's normal.
Had a gsxr 750m back in the 90s had a srad early 2000….since then had everything under the sun …was thinking of another gsxr1000 but youve talked me into one of these instead buddy👍🏻
I’ve just bought a 750 k1 low mileage bike absolutely love it easy to ride and still fun to be thrown around. Also ride a s1000rr but cannot stay off the 750 atm love not having the rider aids
The GSX-R 750 has been my "next bike" for years, though it hasn't stopped me buying others I'll admit because this is one to keep forever. Which is the pick of the K6-K9 era? 2008 seems the go and good value in Australia around $8,000.
Had a K1 and loved it but the urge to try a 1000 was too big and changed it for a K8 1000. Didi not find the k8 less agile and since I used it on the road only enjoyed the gruntier engine. Maybe the 750 K8 LO like the one you are showing could have been the real deal for me with a bit more power than my K1 and a lighter feel to it thanks to the improvement to the chassis. Great vid and great to be able to share this with you. Gaël (gsxr fan boy)
I've had a K4 from new for 20 years, I'm finally (due to Knee issues) going to part with it this year when/if the weather gets better...it will be a very sad day!! the best bike ever.
Almost burst into tears.....but the dog was watching!

Me too and what an absolute belter it is
43,000 miles in on my K7 750 and still totally and utterly adore it. Can commute on it, hoon on it, tour on it... and hit my 50s still love it.
The flickability of a 600 with more punch, without the balls-out 'idiot zone' of a 1000cc. Literally the perfect bike.... probably the only bike i'd trade my 1400 in for!
That anniversary edition livery is absolutely stunning. Such an incredible bike.
I've owned 6 Gixxer 750's over the years before moving onto a couple of 1000's. Excellent bikes.
Same. Had a k8 750 before I bought my K6 1000. Both were absolutely phenomenal machines
Love how Neevesy caresses the bike while going through the specs 🙂
Had my K3 since 2004, done 100k miles, its had an engine refresh and is still going strong, love it❤❤❤
Disappointed to hear it needed the engine refresh!
Engine refresh?
That’s some proper mileage!
I had the privilege of owning a K5 750 from new and still have very fond memories of it - the airbox howl was very addictive!
A K5 gsxr 750 made me fall in love with sports bikes again, 2 weeks later I bought a new gsxr k7 1000, they still one of the best bikes I've ever ridden to this day
That was the best looking body style too, until they rounded up the rear lights in ‘08 🤦🏻♂️ 👎🏼
I thoroughly miss my K7 750 and plan to own another one in the near future. Such a great machine. Perfect blend of power and reliability, combined with functionality and looks.
Same here, I sourly miss my K6…..
Just bought my L0 recently. Only 9000 miles on it, and it is completely stock. I am in love with everything about it 😍🔥
Having owned a GSX-R750 and a GSX-R1000, I totally agree that the 750 was a better all-round bike. I'm not saying the big gixxer wasn't a good bike (it definitely was!) , but I definitely enjoyed the 750 more.

Raced on GSX-R 750 k8 modified it was a secret weapon for me. Glad that someone is feeling same like me about that bike.
You played a big role in me getting mine back in 2017 .. Still have it and been loving it ever since!

…stunning machine, both to look at and to ride. The definition of reliability as well. I’ve gone back to an ‘05 blade after riding all the more modern 1000’s. The rose tinted spectacles aren’t necessary, 2005-2015 was the zenith decade for Sportsbikes, maybe? Awesome content as always, Sir. 👍👍
They're held in enormous affection, aren't they?
That's the sign.
Great look back at a true icon, the gsxr750 started the 4 stroke race rep era and turned into an absolute gem 👍🏻 We thought the way to more enjoyment was more power, but it becomes self defeating and sometimes the bike is taking you for a ride ! Never give up Neevesy, you've turned into the 00s 750 yourself 🍻
Amen to that! 😊
Great vid! love the bike and you raving about it, have been wanting one for a couple of years now but lack the cash, because of your review now the prices will go up so thanks a lot!😉
😀
Wow If you were 16 in 1986 that means that you're 54 in 2024, Jeez that's astonishing because you look 30! Good genetics mate~ and cheers for this video of this absolutely beautiful bike
Cheque's in the post!
Hi. Excellent video packed with fantastic information. When that very first race replica GSXR 750 came out in 1985, I remember seeing it screaming through a winding road, I thought - "what was that?". At the time I didn't know what it was, I went to all the local bike shops in Australia to find it, and yes I learned about the GSXR 750. Couldn't afford it because I was still a student. Later when I started working I saved up and bought a new tri colour 1995 Honda Fireblade. Now after owning 30+ bikes, and having a 2024 S1000RR and 2008 1098S (pre all electronics) in my garage that I look at every night, I still miss those 80s-mid to late 2000s pure sports bikes. And at those times being excited every 2 years to see the updates. Regards and have a great day! PS: Now wanting to add a street fighter, naked bike to the garage but man I just can't decide ... 890 Duke R, Duke GP, MT09, MT10, 765R or RS, the list goes on ... tough choice. It's easier to choose a Superbike. PSS: Previous Suzuki bikes I've owned are DR250 (my first bike) GSXR1000 K7, L1, the 2017 model (traded it on a RS660 - that was a mistake RS only lasted 6 months then moved it on - I wish I kept the Suzi).
A screaming in-line four is exactly why my ZX6R 636 C1-H will never be sold.
Even if I stop riding.
I owned number 4/25 for 10 years never started it and should never of sold it. Make me sad seeing this but great vid thanks 👌
That is one of the best looking Gixxer 750's ever. Gorgeous styling and colours. As usual beautifully presented by the best bike reviewer around.
Algorithm is NOT going to understand everybody clicking away after 1 min to go shopping before coming back for the rest of the video
I sold my last owned gsxr750 4 years ago and i always regret it, over time i had 9 sportsbikes, 3 were gsxr's, 750 slingshot, 600srad and then the 750gsxr L model, you can never go wrong with a gsxr that is well priced and looked after
Great video again but hey, they always are 🤠Have a great week Michael!
I test rode a K4 GSX-R750 2 years ago only 6 months after I passed my test, it was breathtaking, I couldn't believe how connected I felt to the bike. I didn't buy it as I know I would either lose my licence or my life. I still regret that decision!
Love the colours ❤
Wow great video neevsey, change is a sad thing when it comes to motorbikes wish they would make them again and the screaming 600s 👍👍👍
Awesome video! That is a beautiful bike for sure. Best!
Had a K7, a lovely bike, but after coming from an 08 R1 - the Gixxer just felt too clinical and did everything well. Ended up selling for that reason, which I later regretted. Had a deposit on the one that came after the K7 too - the one that looked a bit more like a transformer at the front (and the ABC riding modes) but went for the R1 in the end.
😂 I am so easily influenced that I actually bought an L1 750 today purely because of this video and your older MCN long term one. Gonna see if I end up enjoying it more than my Street 765 RS as one will have to go,
I had both a '94 (silver/pink) and an '05 (20th Anniversary) GSX-R750. Brilliant bikes!
Well said neevesybikes. Always love your clips. I just picked up a 2011 L1 GSXR750 off a family member. I wasn't keen on a 750 but it was to cheep to say no. My last bike was a 2010 Hayabusa and before that a SV650 and have ridden lots of bikes from Hayabusa's to Harley's. I have been pleasantly surprised by how good and fast the GSXR 750 really is. I flipped the clip on's from left to right and put them upside down which gave me about a 2 inch rise for free which has made it even better for me. I'm also surprised how much room it has, I'm 6 foot 7 tall and 110kg and it still feels great for a sport bike. (I know I shouldn't be riding sport bikes at my size but they are just to much fun)🤪 I also changed the front sprocket down one to a 16tooth and the back up 2 to a 47tooth. It has made it accelerate more like a 1000. Just such a rideable bike. Was going to ride it for a year then get a GSXS1000 but after a few rides and the mods I've done to it I'm thinking of keeping it now, Such a good reliable bike
Bitten by the 750 bug! Top man! 😊👍
The Gixxer 750 is really a perfect bike. My own from 2000 is under continus development now just under 180kg with a full tank and just under 160 hk in the engine a blast to ride. Now named GSXR750RR. 😀
That dude calling you a scooter 'granddaddy' must be eating his words right about now😂
Totally true. Great Review . Thanks.
Test rode one (under very controlled conditions) last week.
I must have one. It's the pinnacle of analog motorcycle engineering. Simply wonderful.
This is the ultimate tribute to GSXer.. I'm still keeping a USD front end from my 2010 750,
I sold my K8 last year…I miss it 😢. What a bike. Beautiful to look at, so much fun. This video makes me want to buy another one 😂.
Had two SRAD 750s and loved them. As you say, best all round balance and performance. Never aspired to a 1000, as I knew I would never use all of the performance and survive!
I test rode one recently. The rider position is too extreme for my old bones but the 750 is sublime. Within just a mile I fully understood all the hubbub about this bike. It is sublime. If I were to buy a sport bike it would be this. 🙌
I remember looking for my first big bike back in 2006 and i decided on the k3 gsxr 600 based on the cheap insurance £350 tptf for a 30 odd year old with zero no claims and just passed my direct access but the selling point for me was the bikes low weight at about 163kg. The 750cc and the 1000cc are equally low weight with just a few kg's of difference between the range of 600cc to 1000cc. The k5-k6 1000cc was 166kg and 176 bhp making it the best power to weight ratio superbike at the time apart from the mighty 2004-2005 zx10r which was about the same power to weight ratio at 1.06 bhp to 1 kg as it was 181 bhp and 170kg, so a little bit heavier.
Both are iconic bikes and lightweight compared with todays 200kg superbikes and it goes to show that you really cant push the boundaries any further with a 1000cc bike although i think the panigale v4s was pushing about 1.2-1.3 bhp per kg.
The zx10r and the gsxr 1000 of that time are iconic for that reason and they are exceptional superbikes at affordable prices and the only reason that i would not personally opt for the 750cc at that time was the fact that the insurance and the road tax was the same rate as having a 1000cc gsxr.
I have owned 2x k6 gsxr 1000cc and at full throttle and approaching maximum speed i felt as though the front end was too light and twitchy for me to have the confidence to go balls to the wall with that bike so i can understand the balance of the power to handling of the 750cc.
That is a stunning bike.Must be appreciating in value now
If Suzuki had this video a few years back, It would've sold enough 750s to keep the model alive for another two decades.
In the states we have the 2024 models, 600-1000 and , from what Liberty Media is doing with the purchase of Dorna. I believe Suzuki will re-enter the game very soon just as BMW is moving into MotoGP!! Love this video. I smiled the entire way through it as I have the same emotional response to the bike. You nearly rubbed the paint off that pillion cover a time or two. I know you love that bike! Ride safe!
Very tempted to grab one of these, they look beautiful. They still sell them new here in the US. However I'm a bit skeptical of going back to inline 4 engines as a long time v-twin old superbike convert. Will need to test ride one :)
My K7 750 just got new fairings, stainless steel brake lines, powder coated wheels and fresh Pirelli’s. I’m never getting rid of her
The GSX-R750 and 2012--2016 Fireblade are my favorite analog sportbikes for the street. Fortunately in the States we can still buy the GSX-R750 new.
Love my L4, mine is a bit of a garage queen but when you take it out on a sunny day you always come back with a grin on your face.
You’re telling me that’s a factory exhaust? 😮 beautiful 😍
Back in 21 I was looking to buy a Street triple RS when I saw 21 M1 750 same as L1😂 it was cheaper more hp so I took for a test ride now it’s my forever bike❤. Note 21 was the last year for GSXR750/600 in NZ because of ABS laws.
I feel for you guys. The 750 is still available in the states and my local dealer sells them for the US equivalent of 8,816 GBP OTD.
Wow, that’s not fair 😩
Who is selling them for that price?
@@bobc3144L Romney Cycles, Romney, VA. I think Village Motorsports in Unionville, VA is pretty close to that price too.
Just bought a 2024 gsxr 750 in north carolina. It was about $12,000.
@@allendawson5752 OTD?
very informative and inspiring
Thank you, sir!
Great to watch Neevesy talking about his favourite bike!🎉
I had 2007 and i loved it!
I'm a proud owner of a 2023 GSXR 750Z Anniversary edition. I ❤ this bike in every way. I don't need a 1000.
Completely agree. I was always in the SRAD camp, even though I went ZX7R (and again more recently). In both cases, as I got older, lack of ABS for road riding became more of a concern. Such was my love, even tried to figure out if a BOSCH system could be fitted!
Although I went green, there is no argument, the GSXR750 was miles ahead in power, weight and dynamics. What a bike..
Great video Neevesy🙌
One of my favorite bikes ever.
Right after the KTM RC8.
I never wanted a bike more than I wanted the orange / black 2009 GSXR-750. I STILL want it…
I'm recently back into biking after a long lay off and currently ride a Triumph Tiger 1200 Gt Pro as my age and body couldn't cope with a sports bike but it's great to hear you reminiscing. I've always loved race reps and racing (Cadwell Park season ticket holder) and love the easy way you explain everything for us mere mortals and fan boys. Keep up the great work sir.
Restrictions on bikes were well under way well before this bike, the Y2k ZX9r had two cats in the back box and link pipe, making the titanium exhaust very heavy, I have the original exhaust in my bedroom. Removing that probably made it lighter than this overall (for the E1+ models), but still due to design and a full 19l fuel tank, they are top heavy which is very noticable when manual handling the bike, proper underrated beast 😎
Had a Leo Vinci carbon exhaust on my 2001 ZX9R. Great bike, one of my favourites.
@@splodge5714 More people should try them out, they would be surprised how good they are.
Love the series Neevesy wanted a quick good humoured rant about gixxers. Everyone goes on about k5 gsxr1000 being better than k7, I have owned a k8 limited edition rizla moto gp rep for 16 years, twin titanium yoshis and link pipe reducing weight and it makes 170 bhp at the back wheel. It has 28bhp more than k5, more torque is lighter better handling and better brakes so how can a k5 be better? Look forward to your opinion.
Okay neeves, i hear you, i hear you.
Last sportbike video i cried out that there are no sportbikes in this category and then you release this video.
Great quality as always!
There are lots of reasons why my track bike is a K6 750. Partly because I ran across one that wasn't running and the owner (his wife, really) was sick of messing with it. But mostly it was because I had had a few 600s before it and I really liked the K6 600 as a track bike and the thought of having the same handling with more power was too exciting to pass up.
Hey, just wondering, what was wrong with the bike, why wasn’t it running?
I have a 2013 gsxr750 that ive owned from new. Best balanced bike ive ever ridden and ive had alot of sportsbikes! Great power and handling balance. Suzuki made a massive mistake getting rid of it
They don't sell this in the UK? In the US they still do...that sucks for our UK friends :(
That was quite a hymn to the 750😅
But totally agree.
What a bike.
As a 600 owner I cannot wait to upgrade to a 750.
BTW your brother's bikes are stunning.
You should make a video on every single one..
I actually wanted to send you a message and ask you what is your all-round favourite sports bike, you gave me your answer with this video. And yes, it really is a shame that Suzuki never updated the 750 after the L1 model because this is the kind of sport bike we want and need. As you've said, a perfect blend of everything and actually usable and fun on both road and track. Cheers!!
Sold my 2023 V2 and bought a 2024 GSXR750 and know best move I have ever made. More comfortable and 100% more DEPENDABLE. I am 2 sec slower per lap but can ride day after day no issues the V2 in shop every 2 track days total crap. First oil change no metal. Ducati had chunks aluminum and steel was told that's normal.
Had a gsxr 750m back in the 90s had a srad early 2000….since then had everything under the sun …was thinking of another gsxr1000 but youve talked me into one of these instead buddy👍🏻
I’ve just bought a 750 k1 low mileage bike absolutely love it easy to ride and still fun to be thrown around. Also ride a s1000rr but cannot stay off the 750 atm love not having the rider aids
The GSX-R 750 has been my "next bike" for years, though it hasn't stopped me buying others I'll admit because this is one to keep forever.
Which is the pick of the K6-K9 era? 2008 seems the go and good value in Australia around $8,000.
Had a K1 and loved it but the urge to try a 1000 was too big and changed it for a K8 1000. Didi not find the k8 less agile and since I used it on the road only enjoyed the gruntier engine. Maybe the 750 K8 LO like the one you are showing could have been the real deal for me with a bit more power than my K1 and a lighter feel to it thanks to the improvement to the chassis. Great vid and great to be able to share this with you. Gaël (gsxr fan boy)
I sure hope there is a 2025 anniversary model. Actually there better be.
I loved my srad 750s…had two….best bike I’ve ever had
I've had a K4 from new for 20 years, I'm finally (due to Knee issues) going to part with it this year when/if the weather gets better...it will be a very sad day!! the best bike ever.
