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! ♥️🙏💯🏍️🇺🇲🙏♥️
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.
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
@theotherchannel2028 massive difference when you jump on the 1000cc . Weight is a little heavier but the k7/k8 1000 is a very comfortable bike, I'd have another one as it was one of my fave bikes I've ever owned
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.
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 😁
One of the best bikes ever made and still have my K4 750 which i use on a regular basis. The shape and style and sound just something about it and you can look at it all day and brings a smile to your face.
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...
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 🍻
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!
Brother, I couldn't have said it better.I have a two thousand eight I love it pure analog If you want to ride a motorcycle and connect with the ground a sport bike At least this is many other bikes have so many rider aids
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!
Bought my GSXR-750 K5 new and it’s my pride and joy. So much fun to ride and even better post ride beer in hand just sitting and looking at it while it’s ticking away as it cools down. This is a keeper…Thanks for the great video. Cheers Marty from Melbourne 🇦🇺
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👍
ive had 3 gsxr600 before k3 k5 and a k8 bought them all new then had a 13 year brake from road bikes got married had a kid but last year i gave in and got a 2016 30th anniversary gsxr 750 love it
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!
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.
I was 42 when i started riding and i chose the K7 750. What a bike to learn on! no rider aids to get in the way of messing up. Makes you learn how to ride a raw bike and teaches you how not to be to stupid on it. Fast, handles amazing looks awesome timeless design imo.
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.
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!
I bought a k7 750 last week and i absolutely adore it, steering is super Sharp and stable, for a sportsbike its not too uncomfortable, packs the perfect amount of punch and it makes everybody look ❤️
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. 🙌
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 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!!
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.
My ex missus bought a gsxr 750 k6 ..I spent more time on it than her, they really are truly an beautiful mix of excitement and usable performance. We spent money on it with a remap, racefit exhaust, full brembo discs calipers and master cylinder. It really was a great bike to ride with those mods aswell 👌
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.
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.
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 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!
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 remember you recommending a K7 many moons ago. I loved that bike. Everything you said is 100% spot on. Kicking myself that I sold it. It was in mint condition. Nothing quiet scratches that itch for me anymore.
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.
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.
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!
I was impressed with all the videos I watched on the bike I bought a 2024 model in January. It took a bit getting used to the ergonomics of the bike coming from naked bikes before, however it is great to ride and going to take it on track sometime this year to get more out of the bike than I do on the street. Also the seat height is more forgiving being a shorter rider and my knees fit better into the tank.
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
I watched tons of reviews from true race legends like yourself. Your review made this machine look practical in my opinion. i would buy it all over again. Thank you for your input and road experience. - New GSXR 750 Owner
Loved mine. Killed one on track but bought another when we moved to NZ (where they were still selling them new). Swapped it for a Tuono, which to be honest was even better.
Bought a new K8 in 2008. Had it for two years doing 35k km. Went on trackdays, Nordschleife, trips through Europe….also had a Y model which has more character, but the K8 was the best blend of doing it all easy✌️😍
Bloody hell Neevsey , you were going for it on that opening bit! I thought it was sped up that footage. Was that at Oliver's mount? You are flippin' mental mate. 🤣🤣
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.
I have one..track only... my first sports bike, it's awesome, forgiving and allowing me to learn. got my elbow down on my first ever track day , on treaded tyres...and its the bike...not me.. I love it.
Brilliant video, Neevesey! The M to WS models were my childhood dream bikes, and last year, I finally got my very own WS on a late reg '96 plate, and it has been a dream come true for me. Absolutely fantastic bike, a totally different riding experience to my '05 5SL R6! Given unlimited time and money, it'll be an EFE or 1100L or M next 🥳
EFEs always looked so good with that cut-off abrupt rear end. Very tempting. As indeed are the 1100L GSX-Rs. Owned an 1100G slabby, which was great (it got stolen), but I loved the look & graphics of the Ks, too, though the L's handling sounds better & had its own good look also (in the black/grey or the endurance-y white with blue). Ms get a little *too* heavy, no?
As someone who has owned an 06 and 08. The changes made are noticeable, bike seems to have more grunt in mid and top as well as smoother everywhere. I adored that bike should have kept it
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.
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👍🏻
Just got my '24 750. I love how there are no assists of any kind, straight raw. The best way to ride/learn. Although, im leaning towards putting a quickshifter on
Love this video. I've owned 3 GSXR600s all from new over 9 years a srad a K1 and K5. Looking back I should have gone 600 750 and 1000. After this I bought an R1 and yes I was into sports bikes when they brought out new models every other year and everyone had them. My brother had a brand new 2010 750 the same as the one you have there but in standard colours which I did get to ride. Last year he bought another mint one with hardly any miles on and is thinking of selling it now and watching this makes me want to buy it. Not a lover of the looks of the last bike though but I'm sure it's brilliant.
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 !
Happy to see you got your bike that took you so many places. Can’t wait to see more once it’s done. I too bought my favorite bike a 2002 SP2 no aid or electronics just pure joy and happiness. Cheers from sunny California!
What a machine !!! had a K1 brand new and did 15k miles in first year was highly addictive ,absolute perfection and never missed a beat. Moved on to the K5 Gsxr 1000 a few years later had it 7 years and would say the perfect litre Superbike , currently got theL7 Gsxr 1000 , again a fantastic bike,looks amazing every time I open the garage door . Hope Suzuki brings the 750 back to UK shores , which would be significant move like Honda and Kawasaki have with their 600 super sports and revive a missing choice in the motorcycle segment. Loving your reviews and content can’t wait for your next one. 🤩👍🏻
…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. 👍👍
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).
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!😉
Mate you have an incredible way of story telling that’s just so good to listen to. Thanks for the reviews. There’s something about those naughties Gixxer’s huh!
I own a gsx r 750 wn 1992 , black and silver , with the purple 🟣 wheels . I bought it with 60 thousand miles on the clock , at first before I bought it i was put off by the mileage, but when I had a test ride on it , i loved it straight away. All I had to do is get new carb inners and black widow stainless down pipes and a link pipe and my scorpion 🦂 exhaust end can . It's been an ongoing restoration . With nearly 70 thousand miles on the clock it ride's really well . Love it , I know it's not the best gsx r but it's my baby ♥️😊😊
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 😎
Almost burst into tears.....but the dog was watching!

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!
Michael Neeves delivers it again! Simply the best moto journalist out there
These bikes are living legends. Probably one of the few bikes that will actually appreciate in value over time.
These wont appreciate over time due to the people that are attracted to them.
@@JJ-mh3hb You know nothing of machines.
@@JJ-mh3hb nostalgia drives up prices, and will with these, srads have started going up.
I doubt it. They only exist because emissions
Proud owner of a L6 750 - Just looking at it in the garage puts a smile on my face!
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 🤦🏻♂️ 👎🏼
is there much difference between them in terms of power, speed and perceived weight?
@theotherchannel2028 massive difference when you jump on the 1000cc . Weight is a little heavier but the k7/k8 1000 is a very comfortable bike, I'd have another one as it was one of my fave bikes I've ever owned
Love how Neevesy caresses the bike while going through the specs 🙂
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.
K7 Gang🦾
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
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.

My nephew had one, I had a go on it - as near perfection as any sportsbike I've ridden. Your example is a stunner.
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 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!!
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.
You played a big role in me getting mine back in 2017 .. Still have it and been loving it ever since!
My ex missus bought a gsxr 750 k6 ..I spent more time on it than her, they really are truly an beautiful mix of excitement and usable performance.
We spent money on it with a remap, racefit exhaust, full brembo discs calipers and master cylinder. It really was a great bike to ride with those mods aswell 👌
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.
No soreness from the riding ergonomics???
I had both a '94 (silver/pink) and an '05 (20th Anniversary) GSX-R750. Brilliant bikes!
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.
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 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!
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 remember you recommending a K7 many moons ago. I loved that bike. Everything you said is 100% spot on. Kicking myself that I sold it. It was in mint condition. Nothing quiet scratches that itch for me anymore.
Had a black K9 for 6 years from new. Amazing bike. wish I hadn't sold it now.
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.
Im the same. Owned both and still have the 750👌
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.
That anniversary edition livery is absolutely stunning. Such an incredible bike.
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!
The most excited I’ve seen you in a long time 🏁
I learned how to ride on a 07 GSXR750. I love that bike, it was a perfect street and canyon bike! I would buy it again if I can find a good one!
I was impressed with all the videos I watched on the bike I bought a 2024 model in January. It took a bit getting used to the ergonomics of the bike coming from naked bikes before, however it is great to ride and going to take it on track sometime this year to get more out of the bike than I do on the street. Also the seat height is more forgiving being a shorter rider and my knees fit better into the tank.
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
New high Nevesy! What a fantastic love poem to my current (2014 mod) and favorite bike ever ❤
I watched tons of reviews from true race legends like yourself. Your review made this machine look practical in my opinion.
i would buy it all over again. Thank you for your input and road experience. - New GSXR 750 Owner
Thanks mate. Can’t beat a 750! 😊👍
Love the colours ❤
Looks brand new! So beautiful
Loved mine. Killed one on track but bought another when we moved to NZ (where they were still selling them new). Swapped it for a Tuono, which to be honest was even better.
Bought a new K8 in 2008. Had it for two years doing 35k km. Went on trackdays, Nordschleife, trips through Europe….also had a Y model which has more character, but the K8 was the best blend of doing it all easy✌️😍
Sir thank you for all your hardwork and contribution to the overall race community. Hats Off to you 👏 ❤
Beautiful colors for a beautiful bike
I absolutely loved my K8. The headlight was awesome and the black/orange was fantastic color. Miss that machine.
Bloody hell Neevsey , you were going for it on that opening bit! I thought it was sped up that footage. Was that at Oliver's mount? You are flippin' mental mate. 🤣🤣
Iv got the k4 as my first bike and couldn’t ask for a better choice. Just pure riding. Sound and feel
Awesome video! That is a beautiful bike for sure. Best!
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.
I have one..track only... my first sports bike, it's awesome, forgiving and allowing me to learn. got my elbow down on my first ever track day , on treaded tyres...and its the bike...not me.. I love it.
Brilliant video, Neevesey! The M to WS models were my childhood dream bikes, and last year, I finally got my very own WS on a late reg '96 plate, and it has been a dream come true for me. Absolutely fantastic bike, a totally different riding experience to my '05 5SL R6! Given unlimited time and money, it'll be an EFE or 1100L or M next 🥳
EFEs always looked so good with that cut-off abrupt rear end. Very tempting.
As indeed are the 1100L GSX-Rs. Owned an 1100G slabby, which was great (it got stolen), but I loved the look & graphics of the Ks, too, though the L's handling sounds better & had its own good look also (in the black/grey or the endurance-y white with blue).
Ms get a little *too* heavy, no?
As someone who has owned an 06 and 08. The changes made are noticeable, bike seems to have more grunt in mid and top as well as smoother everywhere. I adored that bike should have kept it
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?
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.
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👍🏻
Just got my '24 750. I love how there are no assists of any kind, straight raw. The best way to ride/learn. Although, im leaning towards putting a quickshifter on
Agreed. I’ve got a QS on mine and it’s a nice little upgrade 👍
Love this video. I've owned 3 GSXR600s all from new over 9 years a srad a K1 and K5. Looking back I should have gone 600 750 and 1000. After this I bought an R1 and yes I was into sports bikes when they brought out new models every other year and everyone had them. My brother had a brand new 2010 750 the same as the one you have there but in standard colours which I did get to ride. Last year he bought another mint one with hardly any miles on and is thinking of selling it now and watching this makes me want to buy it. Not a lover of the looks of the last bike though but I'm sure it's brilliant.
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 !
Proud owner of an L1!
Happy to see you got your bike that took you so many places. Can’t wait to see more once it’s done. I too bought my favorite bike a 2002 SP2 no aid or electronics just pure joy and happiness. Cheers from sunny California!
What a machine !!! had a K1 brand new and did 15k miles in first year was highly addictive ,absolute perfection and never missed a beat. Moved on to the K5 Gsxr 1000 a few years later had it 7 years and would say the perfect litre Superbike , currently got theL7 Gsxr 1000 , again a fantastic bike,looks amazing every time I open the garage door . Hope Suzuki brings the 750 back to UK shores , which would be significant move like Honda and Kawasaki have with their 600 super sports and revive a missing choice in the motorcycle segment. Loving your reviews and content can’t wait for your next one. 🤩👍🏻
Beautiful machine.
I've still got my L5. I'd wanted one for years and your reviews of the L1 fuelled my enthusiasm for getting one.
…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. 👍👍
Outstanding presentation - thank you
Ah, that inline four scream!❤️ full GSF1250S, Black Widow with the small can, no silencer, and it’s downright beautiful , from idle to redline
Hit the nail on the head, the best balance of power and handling.
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).
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!😉
😀
Mate you have an incredible way of story telling that’s just so good to listen to. Thanks for the reviews. There’s something about those naughties Gixxer’s huh!
Had one ( L1 ) for two years. Loved it. Wish they would bring it back. 👍
I'm a proud owner of a 2023 GSXR 750Z Anniversary edition. I ❤ this bike in every way. I don't need a 1000.
I own a gsx r 750 wn 1992 , black and silver , with the purple 🟣 wheels . I bought it with 60 thousand miles on the clock , at first before I bought it i was put off by the mileage, but when I had a test ride on it , i loved it straight away. All I had to do is get new carb inners and black widow stainless down pipes and a link pipe and my scorpion 🦂 exhaust end can . It's been an ongoing restoration . With nearly 70 thousand miles on the clock it ride's really well . Love it , I know it's not the best gsx r but it's my baby ♥️😊😊
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.
@@splodge57 More people should try them out, they would be surprised how good they are.
Yep fully agree seriously under rated bike perfect blend of power wight and agility with no electronics because it doesn't need them
Great video again but hey, they always are 🤠Have a great week Michael!
