Proud to be a Suzuki Rider.❤
Abey chup Chapri
Just bought a750 as I’m 75!and use all it’s power. Well pleased!
Enormous respect to the skilled and dedicated engineers at Suzuki for my great 1978 GS1000 and my 1991 GSX-R 1100. Those engines were indestructible and offered leading--edge performance at the time. I would buy another GSX-R if I were younger. Solid engineering and miles of enjoyment over 5 countries. Great video. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
You are not very old. I just turn 62 and I just got a 2023 GSX S1000 😉
I sold my GSX1100F 2 years ago and regret it.
Also have a 2021 SV650X and there is no way I will sell it, great little bike.
You ride safe Rob
Loi😊😊😊😊😊😊
Like that year to man
Every single one of them who worked on this masterpiece is the HERO !!
Immense RESPECT..
Suzuki is at its core of building the best machines the world has ever witnessed. GSX-R is undeniably one of the most reliable bikes ever build by an established Japanese company. I am a fan.
The Japanese build the best motorcycles on the planet 40 years ago and still today. Those of us that love and have had the honor to experience riding on such affordable well made motorcycles owe the Japanese a huge thank you. Thank you Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki!
No, but a friend of mine has one that is in very good condition and he is now having electrical issues with it. I could ride it if I wanted to and I still may. He told me it's fun to ride but no more than a Japanese bike.
I think all bikes are fun to ride, my problem with BMW, Arillia, Ducati is that they are not as reliable and parts cost more than Japanese. I have seven Japanese bikes from 1988 to 2012 and haven't had major problem with any and I ride a lot. I did have to have the carb's cleaned on my two oldest bikes and I did have small coolant leak on my 1997 Concours and I rode it that way for a few months until I figured out it was just a loose clamp on one of the hoses, never did over heat. People can spend their money any way they want, but I'm sticking to the four Japanese brands.
hear, hear man
Todd m but look at the ducati panigale 1299 ❤️
@DONALD TRUMP I have, and they're not.
Goddamn all this hate in the comments. This does not mean other brands are worse or bad. But someone who drives 2 wheels and trys to downplay japans huge influence on the bike world is a moron.
Not just a bike, its the soul...
These legends are responsible for my life long love of motorcycles. I started on a 1988 gsxr 750, mine was a year old and I was 20. I'll never forget it, best time of my life.
Peter King hard to find those for sale now...
DasCayman oh yes mate. I'd snap one up if I could find a good one👍
DasCayman m
Marty Smith . Perfect! What a memory. Still love my bikes but the modern ones don't give me the same buzz. Maybe it's my age too😬
Peter King - lol I had an 87 that handled like shit so needed a steering damper - traded it in for a 1991 model - much better handler
Proud to own a gsxr!
Raymond Johansen yes preach brother lol
Raymond Johansen Yep!
honda cbr rr
Raymond Johansen Gixxer Pride!!!
all hail Gixxer!
Thank you Mr Suzuki,and all the GSX-R development team, I have a GSX-R and I love it .
Awesome story. Hats off to these engineers.
I am so thankful for Suzuki and the opportunity of enjoyment they have given me. I love my K3 GSXR 1000. When I upgrade it will be back on GSXR but newer. I am Suzuki for life.
We have a '96 "Gixxer" GSX-R 1100, with black cherry custom paint. "Bullet" is fast as one and tough as nails. It's just a beautifully designed bike that's a blast to ride. It's also a comfortable ride for hours at a time, it just never gets boring. It's great garage candy and we love it.
One of the greatest bikes ever made
Recently purchased a GSX-S 1000 F. Got a good deal on it as it was a brand new 2 year old leftover. It is a fantastic bike I love it.
Long live the GSXR!! I have a 2005 gsxr 600 and love it!! Keep making them bikes guys!!!
Think about how much combined experience sitting in that interview room. They are the manifestation of the Japanese work culture where you stay with your company for life.
StiffWood zero diversity and country loyalty has its merits? Japanese Spirit.
My initial post actually contained a line regarding how questionable the working conditions have been and still is for many Japanese people as well as the presence of somewhat racist attitudes to people of non-Japanese descendent. But I chose to focus on the positive points ... wait.
Laram Levi of course zero diversity has it's merits.
If you really think about it, A few HUNDRED years. That's fucking nuts.
I got the first gsxr from 1986 and i love it 😍
The first GSX-R was from 84, the U.S was late in getting the GSX-R.
I was a proud owner of the 1987 GSXR 750. Bought it used in 1992 and it was a dream come true.
Proud to own a '91 1100, which still has all its fairing panels!
if anyone intrested,i have 91 gsxr 1100 up for sale
Private Custard congrats man... My favorite bike by far...
Private Custard same with my 99 750 all original never been down!
I'd love to visit those guys and shake their hands. I've been a Suzuki man ever since my first ride on my mate's 750K back in the early 1990's. What a masterpiece that was back then. Kevin Schwantz was putting his life on the line at every GP and I started saving and bought a 750L Slingshot, a bike I'd love to buy back if ever I could find it! G130 RNU WHERE ARE YOU??? What a great time to be into bikes...
Sold! I want a GSX-R now.
so amigo what bike you riding now? KTM?
mee too. lol
Dude this shit really got me in my feelings. These people brought sportbikes into the only thing I like doing and I grew up around sportbikes. So i guess i never realized how recently they were made
Superb documentary, great passion and genuine love for the mighty Gixxer from all the Suzuki staff. Like they were discussing a much beloved old friend.
I keep tearing up.
I remember when I was a teenager, on warm summer nights I would hear sport bikes racing around in the dark. I knew someday I had to have one. My first was a 2001 GSXR 600. Motorcycles are life, nothing better.
Dear Suzuki please continue making the GSX-R 750 because it’s an ICON of Japan and an International Treasure!
Bought my 2000 GSX R 750 In November of 2000 and still have it ....
Bought my first GS in 1984. Loved it.
I love my ‘95 GSXR-1100, my ‘00 TL1000R, and my ‘08 GSXR-1340 Hayabusa! I love them all differently, they each have their own personalities and traits that make you want to crack the throttle each and every time I throw my leg over that seat!!
Well done Big S... well done!!
Had an 86 when I was 19 years old. Traded it for a wheelchair because I was in over my head with it. Still love the GSXR styling, it's timeless.
Calvin Cooley it put you in a wheel chair? man thats horrible
I'm sorry for whatever happened to you. I got my first Sport Bike 7 months ago, Switched over from Harley. I've always wanted a GSXR and finally got one. I rode it for about 5 months. Went down 3 different times. It's sitting in my garage in need of a new front wheel and Tire, Rebuild the forks, and new fairings. Hopefully it's up in a few more months. It is definitely a whole new beast compared to what I'm used to riding. But, I finally got the bike I've wanted since I was 10.
.mlh did you fix it
@@SBrandon562 did you ever fix it? Picked up an 07 gsxr600 for a track bike a few weeks ago, can't wait.
Hey Calvin I had a 1986 Gsxr1100 with stage two yoshi cams and race yoshi header . That bike was a rocket sure miss it.
GSX-R, a dream unleashed, thank you kindly.
Suzuki fan boi!!! Rocked a GSXR1100 now a GSXS1000 with the beast K5 in it, next a GSXR1000 .. bring it... Riders bikes
Redline for 24hrs?? Gotdamn thats durability. .
I once had my 2002 gsxr1000 pinned for about 8 minutes straight.. When I got off, I gave it a pat, and chuckled when I walked away.. dame they were built for it..
I replayed it 5 times in order to be sure i heard right.
nothing is impossible
@@justinmallaiz4549 thats badass because that means you either did a insane burnout or you were going 175 for 8 mins straight

I own a gsxr 1100 and I gotta say it's the most beautiful motorcycle I've ever rode
I'm so brand loyal to GSXR and suzuki in general. They are incredibly reliable and have such a strong culture in the motorcycle world. Would not trade my suzuki for anything. It always has my bck
Kawasaki owner stopping by for a visit. From Hondas to Yamahas, I love and respect all the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. They are all without a doubt the best of the best in what motorcycles are. Thank you gentlemen.
I have change many motorcycles from my 35 years, i can say i love them all but yes ONE make my heart hit like crazy, and enjoy every day, ride with that suzuki, i was make crazy staff with that motorcycle...lol now i can think of it ....way to crazy staff :) Thank you suzuki for my memory's from GSX-R750 SRAD 1998 silver black :)
i've got a '99 750, other than FI it doesn't have any modern computer trickery, it's quick and agile and puts a bigger smile on my face, every time i ride it than any other bike i've ridden or owned. I'll keep it as long as i can swing my leg over it.
When I was looking for my first bike I wanted a 06 to 09 Honda CBR. I found one but the guy stopped replying, I gave up and finally saw an ad for a blue and white 09 GSXR 750 for a reasonable price. I fell in love with it when I saw it on the web page, when I saw it in person I bought it right away. I got it with 10K mile it has 30K Plus now.
I've owned yamaha, Honda, kawasaki, Suzuki my whole life of riding. multiple models and years from r6, r1, cbr600rr, cbr100rr, zx6r, zx10r and tbh I like different things about every bike but the GSXR has hands down never cease to amaze me. Their handling to power ratio is very easy to handle for a new rider. 07 cbr600rrs handle the best imo but as far as power the gsxr is a missile on straights. kawi has a tad bit stiff out the box and Yamahas power band is wack. gsxr boy forever.
Serviced my bike yesterday. The engine of my bike is pretty much the same with the first GSX-R. I love it. Suzuki uses it for more than 20 years in different bikes. Thank you, Sirs!
I love SUZUKI 💙
I own my 1st Gixxer after being an R1 fan boy for a long time, love it! Its a 2011 GSXR1000 L1 variant.
03 gsxr 1000 owner here....love these bikes!thank you japan🤙
Most reliable and tough bikes ever made. I love Suzuki! I'll always have one (at least) in the garage.
I run a 2013 GSX-R 600 engine in my micro sprint car... best torque and durability out there!
its a Honor that i can drive one of this masterpiece . thank you Suzuki.
this is why I own GSXS 1000 love it every day.
I remember a magazine article years ago that covered and interviewed the Suzuki Test riders, all done up in their RS Taichi and Kushitani Leathers along with custom lids and talking about testing all the proto type models. Honestly what a bloody amazing job to have..
I love my GSX-R 1000 K2 +Yoshimura Exhaust , we have many fun together !
Thank you GSX-R Team at Suzuki. Really great job, great bike...I love it. I can feel your passion in every word you say.
Personally i had a GSX-R 1000 from 2001 and the K5 from 2005 on. Recently I bought a GSX-R 1000 from 2002. Had also a GSX-R 600 and currently I build up a GSX-R 750 from 2011. Have a lot of fun with it, a real genious construction. A small but important detail: Your service manual for the 750 K8 and 1000 K7 is the best I have see ever. And I have seen many of them.
1985, a Legend is born. And it is still alive!
i just got my first super sport 2001 gsxr its a freaking beast I love it
The best thing on this life is not buying suzuki GSX R but to experience it , ride it , master it, and live with it. That.. something that money can't buy.
Thank you SUZUKI
from the dex tune corporation.
I've only ever has suzuki GSXR sport bikes my first was a 04 gsxr 1000 then baught a 07 gsxr 750 and now my pride and joy 2006 gsxr 1000!!!! I love love love suzuki!
Love my K5 gsxr 1000.. Plan on keeping it for life!
Brap Genius I got a k6 (2006 gsxr 1000)
Love GSXR , shape, ergonomics, performance. price ....!!!
The king is BACK...👍👍👍
That last bit is exactly why I'm going for a K5/K6, thx
I have owned many bikes from all four Japanese brands and also Harley.
I think Suzuki 4 cylinder engines in the GSX-R's, and all those that use derivations
of those engines like Bandit's, the katana, GSX-S are the best of all.
Durable and can be pushed to far higher than stock power without breaking.
The best shifting transmissions.... The passion for the bikes that Suzuki engineers have is evident
in every bike.
After riding for the last 35 years, I have two heartfelt words for the Engineers and staff at
Suzuki......
Thank You!!
I have old Suzuki bike, although I only have small CC bike which is only 125cc. The durability is unquestionable, I bought it in 2006, still using it till late 2018 and the engine never ever have problem. Still have it in garage but I don't ride it anymore...
Just wow! Amazed by the dedication of it all! Good Job my Favorite brand Suzuki! The King Is Back!
Thanks again suzuki for making my favorite bikes ever... Owner of 1989 1990 1991 gsx-r s
My red & white 89 Gixer still probably the most fun bike I ever had
Thanks to suzuki , their engineers , theie staff , to provide world with one of the legend in motorcycle history
Suzuki GSX R.
(from India)
nice upload, wow that was interesting! it was really really cool to see they were still excited working on it. but the most standout info was by far the fact that all the Japanese EMPLOYEES RACED THEM! THAT IS JUST SO COOL TO HAVE THE ENGINEERS GETTING IN AND COMPETING! the motivation they all must have had, I guess that's why they are all so good.
How can you not respect and admire people who think outside the box, these were and are some talented engineers and designers, after all there achievements speak louder than words
The originals all the way to the 87's. Those GSXR still to this day look so dam good!
Wow😍😍😍 my dream bike😍 Suzuki GSXR1000😍
I've been a Harley rider since I got my permit and rode lots of bikes in the past years. Last week I bought a GSX-R600 k1 after having numerous issues with my HD-bikes. I love riding my Harley Davidsons, but after riding the GSX-R, I have to admit that I love this bike as much as I love my Harleys. It feels amazing, and knowing the idea, motivation and team behind the production of these bikes now, I have to admit; This bike is amazing in every aspect.
GSX-R forever!💗
Rode for 5 years a K1 GSXR 1000 in race trim and made my first experience on race tracks. With quickshifter, Ohlins rear shock and some other mods on the forck and brake, I was still able to make life hazzardous for some guys on BMW S1000 and Panigales. Bike was a beast in early acceleration phase and so smooth on the throttle (thanks to Dual thottle valve techn.). Will never forget it...
Lendária Suzi !!!
Parabéns pela postagem, abs...
Rj Brasil.
Love the gsx engines . I own a gsx f 650cc , fantastic bike , thanks suzuki !!!
If it was a American or European co., that would all be arguing and saying how great they were, Japanese culture is humble and collaborative, respectful and quiet. And produces the best results. Ths GSXRs are wonders of modern design and complexity that preform beautifully. Love my '03 GSXR 750!
I am honoured to own and ride a 2001 GSXR. ❤
I did my driving licence with 1Suzuki GSX-R 1100 1996. Great experience !
Love Suzuki
I have the 2018 GSX-R1000R and that new VVT Engine it comes with, is a monster. Even after a year of ownership, the bike still scares me.
I had a gsxr 86 model in 1987 . over the decades i had a few more between other bikes . In 2004 i bough the 1100 version but in 2018 I sold it to buy a Triumph. A few weeks ago i bought another gsxr1100 [ 87/88 model] today i sold the Triumph . I also have a 89 gsxr slingshot . Once you have ridden a GSXR nothing compares .
I Love my Suzuki GSX-1000 R K4
It was my first crotch rocket ! GSXR 750 in 1985. And my second, my third was a GSXR 1000 highly modified in 2006 . My 4th was a Yamaha FZR 1000. HOLY CRAP Suzi made some fun bikes
Was it me or did the 750s seem to handle better and it just seemed to respond better in turns
Hi guys, ooutstanding engineering, state of the art presentation, extremely well presentation, very explicit, very simple easy technical vocabulary, make me fall on tears of emotions, remain me on my days working for cummins engine company on rd, that impresive state of the art machine where every body envolve on the development did his best to acomplish the job done, congratulations guys, once I saw the documentary I almost jump off joy, I own one of those an I well know how it feels, most kind of all of you for that impecable presentation, keep up the good work.
Just bought a 1998 GSX-R 600 SRAD.. this gave me a pretty good perspective on it definitely
I got my Lic in 78. In 85 or so - I bought a GT380 Tripple. I forget now what red line was but it worked best when it was maxed out. Suzuki for me was reliable. Thank you to the Engineers!
I LOVE JAPAN ! ;)
Greetings from Germany !
Suzuki = Performance + Durability
Those early generation gixxers will always have a place in my heart, best looking bikr ever with the CBR's a close second. 2 round headlight never should've been abandoned!
I have had 3 Suzuki's- 89 Gsxr1100 oil cooled, Gsxr 1000 k7 and am hoping to purchase my busa next month! These are great bike's for experienced lunatics only!
Love my gixxer!!!!
I bought my first motorcycle in July of 2018 and I got a 2018 GSX-R750 that only had 2 miles on the odometer. I absolutely love this bike and it’s safe to say that I’ll always be a gixxer rider.
This is an awesome evolution. I'd love to collect these.
Take a Look at a UA-camr "Danny the Plumber" he has a great collection and just keeps building
Thank you for this.
The plant mentioned is a mere 1/2 an hour from here on a bike (if you are quick).
My 2012 Suzuki DL 650 V-Strom (which I love) is also finished off there.
I got it from a dealer near here, so it must have traveled a mere 20 kilometres or so from factory to dealer.
Gotta love them Suzies :)
Had a 2008 GSX-R750 and it was awesome. The handling blew me away and so did the power. Very special bike
Nice.. Suzuki my fav
Love it! 20 years now.
I still have the Original 1985 Gsx-r750 - It's Still a Rocket Ship! 👍😉
Wow! Now that’s something to hold on to!!, fo shor
Love my 2016 1000, bought it off the floor with only 1 mile, over 1400 now with thousands more to go. What a truly beautiful machine.
I once had a 1991 750 GR7AB - it was waaay to heavy for me but still - of all the bikes I owned till today - it's the bike I rode the most. It was so smooth and controllable ... just an awesome machine.
