2017 GSX-R 750 First Ride and Review

[@HollowRides]

For a small channel I was pretty shocked with the amazing quality of your videos! 10/10 not only that but you managed to keep me interested for the full 12 mins... if you knew me, you would know that is not easy feat. Keep it up!

[@CharlieOliverBates]

HollowRides Thanks for the kind words, man! It feels good to finally have a video that's getting some attention. Motorcycles are my passion :D

[@jjfran5565]

I got that exact bike, I've had it for about a month and a half. I broke it in per the manufacturers recommendations. I got about 1,300 miles on it now ( I haven't gotten off the damn thing) and I tell you this. it is a pure adrenaline rocket. after 1,000 miles you can give her all she gots, and she has some ass. it pulls hard from take off to redline. everytime I wind it out and shift into the next gear it pulls that front wheel off the ground IMMEDIATLEY. I've ridden almost every and any sport bike that is out there in veriouse years ( even busa's with work done ) and I can tell you hands down that this bike is the one that does it for me. SUPER FAST, INCREDIBLE HANDLING, just an all out bad ass bike. And to all the guys that have to have a 1,000. I hear ya because I thought the same thing. I would never settle for anything less then a liter bike. well my eyes are open and I have seen the light. lol. I blow the doors off of 1,000's on a regular basis with this bone stock 2017 gixxer 750. they can't touch me till over 150 mph and that's when that 1,000 starts coming. I'm not gonna tell you any bull shit, and yes after 150 the 1,000 is coming but it doesn't pass me until just about 175 180 when I am pretty much maxed out. but remember this. my 750 is stock betting 1,000's like it is no tomorrow and where the FUCK are you gonna do 200 + mph all the time. I love it, I love it, and u will Fucken love it too. I love it so much my wife hates it Lmao. best bad ass all around bike out there right now. That's my opinion and I am sticking with it.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

James Francis Amen to that.

[@j190phil]

JJ Fran, based off this comment i can't wait till i get mine delivered... i bought a 2018 for $6500 with 2000 miles out of jersey fro local harley dealer.... completely stole it!

[@frustratedmillennialz]

I believe you if you're talking pre 2015 1000s...however, starting around 2015 all the big four Japanese 1000s got a decent bump in power and torque. As an owner of a 17 zx10r, I have gapped modded 17+ GSXR750s going from 0-100mph. Still crazy to see how fast they are when compared to a 600. I actually looked at the 17+ GSXR750s. Still would get one simply for the fact that it weighs LESS than some 600 class bikes (ZX6R is 10 lbs heavier) but has nearly the power of the 1000.

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

JJ Fran maybe I’m fat but I can’t power wheelie unless I bounce it up.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

[@joejoe1738]

Nice bike man but you could of solved a life long question man.. you should of asked the chicken 🐓 why it crossed the road? 😂

[@fl0sserelli]

10:28 If the key lock is the biggest flaw, then I'd say Suzuki did a hell of a job with this bike 👍 During the first week, I also turned the key too far and left the lights on. Fortunately a friend noticed and told me, or else I might have returned to a dead battery. But once you get used to the key positions, it becomes a non-issue.

[@lw9514]

i actualy the love the front of these gixsers! they have a streamline aggressive look!

[@CharlieOliverBates]

I think you're the only one :P Haha, it's all opinion though.

[@Beauty3551]

Yeah I love my gsxr but that headlight is just idk to busa lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Beautiful 😍👌🏻

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Whoa! You're like a KZbin celebrity :D Thanks Salt!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Haha no just another rider with a camera, my girl is actually loving the 2017 white 750, great shots of it bro 👌🏻

[@motorcycleartist]

I watch all your vis and I just got a 2018 750 fresh out the crate!! loving every miles sooo far..thnks Salt!!

[@dudeitsgabe4261]

Instant sub when I realized your riding around chico! Keep up the good content.

[@domoniquecross8691]

4:20 you said 650🤔🤔🤔 i need you to pull over and get off the bike lol so disrespectful

[@AprilsVeryOwn25]

Glad you liked it, man! I finally got around to installing most of the upgrades I got for it, so I guess I'll have to make a motovlog about it now 😂😂

[@2WheelPursuit]

Damn dude, I'm really impressed with the quality of this video for as small as your channel is. I'm starting off reviewing bikes as well and I hope I can get my cinematic shots as good as yours soon! Awesome vid bro! Subbed!

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Size doesn't matter ;) Thanks for the support man. I'll check out your stuff.

[@Kartono2104]

In Germany you could never talk to foreign people, like you do. Germans only would looked at you, and would ask you, „what is wrong with you?“... you have a really cool bike, dude.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

STAR TROOPER MERICA BRO 🇺🇸

[@skitzzz4335]

CharlieOliverBates do you and the funkfam reply to dms and FaceTime calls but it’s not like I’d get y’all number lmao

[@robertbrandywine]

I've heard that's even more so of Sweden.

[@2xSketchMotovlogs]

Definitely sounds like a GSXR! Dope bike. Happy for our boi. Good video Charlay!

[@k-seriesgarage3028]

I honestly like the front end of them lol

[@robbyterrill5707]

Traded my kawi 636 in on this 2017 gsxr 750..I absolutely have no regrets..I owned the 2003 and 2006 gsxr 1k.. Love this gixxer 750 .

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Haha, I've nearly killed the battery a time or two on my GSXS. I always click it all the way counterclockwise then back a click so I know I'm in the right spot.

[@GamingCornerYT]

Really nice bike white or the motogp blue are the lookers 😀, you need to do a zx6r review! have you got any more reviews lined up? great quality camera

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

cool video man! This is the exact bike bike my wife will be getting this spring; she's freaking PUMPED!

[@Dug6666666]

Even my 1988 Gixxer does the same thing with leaving park lights on if you turn the key all the way. I have killed two batteries in 26yrs of ownership from running them dead with the lights on. I soon got in the the habit of turning the key all the way then back one click and even then checking the tail lights when I get off as well

[@DrummerOnTwoWheels]

Nice video, man. I have the same bike in Moto GP colours. Took her around Europe last August, got it all on video, loved every minute. Sub'd anyway. 😘

[@joshuayared5695]

yooo ... ur vids keep getting better n better ... thumbs up for that !!!

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Joshua Yared Thanks Joshua. I always appreciate the support, man!

[@GarageMob]

holy fuck, this video is even more beautiful than the bike! Nice editing and quality man. Definitely an underappreciated channel, subbed.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Princess Greg Thanks princess 😆 I really appreciate the kind words.

[@jjfran5565]

BTW. great video my man. please do another one with any aftermarket parts you install on it. I'm dying to see what upgrades leolleare doing andtbere opinion. Also after reading a few comments from some of the people about there gixxer 750's. for 2017 Suzuki redid a lot of things on the bike. they bumped the horsepower and torque up by 10% (11-16 130hp. 17 150hp) and compressed the motor "amongst other things" to make the bike lighter any way they could. It may look almost the same as 11-16 750's, but is is not. there are some cosmetic and small things that are interchangeable, but per Suzuki, this bike has had a lot of changes mechanically.

[@ubosh3901]

That intro was more than amazing

[@jolebole-yt]

Cool bike. I'm thinking about getting my first bike ever..(never rode anything) and this 750 looks and rides really nice. Thanks for the review man. Subbd! Awesome video quality too!

[@dinerosrt]

Did your get it? Are you dead?

[@wswettenham]

I just spent 4+ hours riding a K8 gsxr 600 only stopping for gas. I am 38 and had no back pain, neck pain.....it was comfortable, fun and and hour after that ride, I took her back out for another hour. No issues whatsoever.

[@ratstrat1984]

That's interesting. Comfort was one of the reasons I bought an FZ6. I have a couple years on you, so I was afraid of back issues also. Good to hear that maybe it's not as bad as I thought. Love the look of the gixxers. Maybe my next bike will be a gsxr 750.

[@wswettenham]

ratstrat1984 Key, at least for me was altering riding positions, a loose grip and finding that comfy spot where I could rest my stomach and chest on the tank. Have fun

[@ratstrat1984]

wswettenham Thanks, I will keep that in mind. Just looked up the K8. Think I like that design more than the new ones.

[@nopegrigsby1140]

great vid well made with lots of nice touches definetly subbed :D

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Oh im sold with the U-turn. And its the one in white that I had my eye on. Mmm such a nice bike, definitely a looker

[@Beauty3551]

Nice video and I like how you said the ultimate test would be passing power once she's broken in you can stay more in the 3 or 4 gear it just wants to go. I have the 2016 black one same bike. also thanks for showing me the mirror thing didn't know that about her

[@geoc5251]

That biggie remix is dope!

[@samiejames8923]

for real gsxr 750 is my dream bike

[@Nastygoodz]

great video love the review gixxer is life for me I have a 17 black and yellow 600 with 25 miles on it I bought it this year back in feb and its a monster

[@nickh3809]

U drove 25 miles in a few months n it's a monster already? 😂

[@randypeters7111]

I own a k7 gixxer 750. And yes you are right! It screams GO FAST!!!

[@TannahMae]

I just went to Berts and sat on this exact model.. I kept jumping between the matte black 600 and this 750... i am leaning towards this model (the one you're riding) because i put 46k miles on the 2007 600 i had... cool video shots buddeh

[@CharlieOliverBates]

I think you'll be pretty happy with this bike :) I'd suggest buying one used though because it will save you a couple thousand dollars, haha. I think the 2017 model is a little over priced.

[@PilotMoochi3]

"Crevasse" ... I'm here for it

[@lintraharrington2394]

I have the "BumbleBee" yellow 2017. Loving the hell out of this bike!!!

[@kanohernandez9069]

Beautiful intro man keep it up!!!!!👍👌

[@zipper978]

steering damper not dampner

[@maxpesh]

my 2007 gsxr 750 is 163 kilo (359 Ilbs). 420 Ilbs is a big increase !

[@jordinmcmillan6625]

"Gsxr riding position is too aggressive for me"..what riding a ninja does to you lol. I learned how to ride on a R6 so the gsxr feels like a new mattress to me 😂

[@adariushickmon293]

I love the sound of that tourqe do

[@brookdow]

Great review I like the front end/ light as far as price goes seen these for 13000aud which here is 3-5 k less than a r6 so good value

[@JeanS1989]

I gotta tell you dude, This was a overall good review specially because this is the bike I am aiming for so this was very much needed and the topics you tackled were interesting so thanks men! ( just the quality of the vid was a bit off. Like it was too dark ) otherwise video was great!

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Jean S. Thanks for the constructive criticism Jean 👍🏼 I think you'll be happy with the gsxr 750 if you end up getting it. It's such a fun bike.

[@JeanS1989]

I might. Is the price just like you said. the price is what gets me a little hesitant. Otherwise men! it would have been a no brainier.

[@JeanS1989]

BTW. Keep making more vids I just sign up for your page.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Jean S. Be sure to check on Craigslist. You can save some serious cash if you're patient. A friend of mine just got a newer gsxr 750 for $6,000. The thing is in mint condition too.

[@JeanS1989]

I had a Yamaha R6 2007.. for about 5 or 6 month that i purchase from craigslist. couple weeks ago it was stolen from me so due to that was my first bike i still have the heavy crave for riding and i need to satisfy it lol... but thanks for the info

[@Moteclint]

Bro make more bike reviews! Super dope edits

[@MrBeatWSwag]

I think the front looks good !

hey, nice vid!

[@GUNNER787]

This was amazing

[@GUNNER787]

Thanks for the heart bro you just made my day

[@user-yo8ab1ys9e]

I'll most likely get this bike real soon. Through Suzuki I can get 0% APR, which I don't want to pass up. Thanks for the review.

[@negroiam9746]

my dream bike is a gsxr 1000, i plan to get one eventually but i turn 16 next august so i might get this one first

[@OldSchoolJules]

Love gixxers but just hate that headlight. 😂. I own an r6 but would consider a 750 as my next bike.

[@sikeboi857]

man, das video qualiity... 10/10

[@skemeteam02]

Dope Bike! Where can i find that mix you used on the intro?

[@Swissalchemist]

I've probably watched this video 10 times. Looking at picking up this exact bike. Wheelies are fun on a dirt bike but I'm concerned about the front end coming up just using the throttle and not trying to lift it. Does that make sense? If I'm only using the throttle(gunning it) would I have to worry about the front end lifting or is there enough weight up front that this won't be a concern? Thanks so much in advance man. Love the review, Andrew

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Andrew Boyd It’s definitely a reasonable concern considering how much power this bike puts down. Riding in first and second gear are the only times I ever really get the front wheel up by accident. That’s when I’m really “gunning the throttle” though. When it happens it’s easy to correct and the stock steering dampener is excellent at preventing tank slippers. Overall, I’d say that this is a well balanced bike. You sound like a decent rider if you can successfully pull off wheelies on a dirt bike. I wouldn’t worry about accidental wheelies if I were you. Thanks for your feedback and question, Andrew. Let me know what bike you end up deciding to buy.

[@Swissalchemist]

CharlieOliverBates really appreciate the feedback friend. Glad to know I can wring it out and stay safe at the same time. Just remembered it has modes as well...but who wants to use a less powerful mode than it's capable of. Keep up the good work and ride safe!

[@Cathlabkid]

Just something to keep in mind the gsxr-750 is msrp at 12,299 but an r6 is 12,199 so....Btw great vid

[@Clutchdumper]

went into the shop today to look at the 2017 R6 I personally like it. but being short it does have its disadvantages... then I saw this 2017 gsxr 750/ white... OMG looks and feels nice just sitting on it. im tip toeing it but with its narrower seat feels much better for me. i've been on my r3 for 3 years now. I can use a upgrade haha. it is pricey like you mention. they do have a 2014 gsxr 750/ red and black. but man choices choices.

[@idolnash13]

ClutchDumper I know the GSXR bikes sit the lowest of of the other 600 CC and up

[@idolnash13]

ClutchDumper did u get it

[@visionofgrey]

ClutchDumper I’m on the same boat as you. I have a 2017 R3 also. How tall are you? I’m 5’6 and on the balls of my feet and I went to the dealership today and sat on a couple of GSXR’s. The first one I hopped on I completely flat footed and was shocked. Found out it was lowered but I’m not sure if the suspension was reduced from the stock option or third party, which was bad because I don’t think the previous owner matched the front lowering. I then sat on a stock one and it’s almost identical in height as the R3 (maybe even slightly lower and more comfy). I also swear over my bias to own the bike it’s lighter than the R3 (not numerically but again, probably in my head). If this bike can have the height adjusted it will be the most comfy bike I’ve been on and glad I’m now tall enough to go to 600+. I researched and out of the super sports this is the lowest, R6 being the highest. Oh and when I say “y’all enough” that’s in my own comfort zone. I know many ride even at 5’ tall.

[@Baltuc_Racing]

Thats pure love right there :) btw. the 2017 Suzuki - GSXR 1000 A cost 214.000dkr thats (please sit down so you dont fall) 34.000 us $ ....here in Denmark we pay a shit load of taxes :( so please dont ever complain about price again....and gas cost 1,5 $ pr Liter thats 6$ pr gallon ;) ...i say again "dont ever complain about price" ....

[@brayvdb2191]

Baltuc how are the loans though?

[@samiejames8923]

the front of gsxr is not ugly

[@SqueegeNasty]

bro i know exactly where you were at 2. keep up the good work

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Skyler Chappell Yoooooo, thanks for the support man! Good luck with the judging for Questival. I hope you win some prizes!

[@jackliford1548]

how offten do you plan to actually be turning a gsxr as opposed to leaning?

[@kreizpal10]

I'm getting that bike in a few weeks...

[@jhlg250r3]

Getting one of these in about a week

[@juliancraft4503]

How does compare the gxsr 600? I can't find any good videos on this topic.

[@louie8999]

Yoo I'm super excited this weekend I'm going to trade my 2017 Honda rebel 500 I know u cant compre the 2 but after I rode my guys 08 750 I felt in love long story short I found a 2019 0 miles under 9k I'm gana have to full sent it lol

[@imbaieva9]

Damn smooth editing

[@AliBaba-jf1mp]

Hi there, could u pls tell me what gloves u wear in this video? Thank u ;)

[@its_bigbklyn]

I'm picking mine up in 2 weeks

[@TheRealChuckT]

Good review... Except the side walk part. Random af lol

[@twosmoker7593]

Great video man! Is it yours?

[@SqueegeNasty]

Two Smoker watch last 10 sec

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Two Smoker It belongs to my friend Brent! He just upgraded from a Yamaha R3 to this GSX-R 750. He was kind enough to let me borrow it for a few days so I could make this review.

[@twosmoker7593]

Oh that cool! Sorry i didnt catch that

[@MelissaSimply]

7:29 is my fave part lol

[@DrewKendall11]

Everyone hates the front end of Suzuki and next to the Kawasaki, it's the best looking one. Smh

[@fl0sserelli]

It doesn't matter when all most people see is the tail 😝

[@jolebole-yt]

I went to check out the exact same bike today...Looks so nice. They had this and then a mate black 600..Dilemma dilemma. Which one should I get?

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Goran Jordanov I vote matte black 👌🏻

[@jolebole-yt]

CharlieOliverBates O man, it's so difficult to decitde..The Black is so nice but it's a 600. The white is a 750. Price difference between both is $1200.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Goran Jordanov Only way to know for sure is to test ride them both. 600cc’s is enough for me, but some people need the extra 150cc’s that GSXR 750 offers.

[@EverythingHenry]

Smoked headlight makes it low way better

[@tonyjulian4724]

Yo man can you PLEASE tell me the version of the Biggie remix you used in the intro????

[@anqeetbhusal5760]

Can we go on a road trip on that bike? I always wonder if sports bikes are suitable for touring.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Suicide Squad If you’re in your 20’s you can easily tour on a sport bike. I’ve done some pretty big trips with friends on mine 👌🏻

[@itachi1540]

With no miles on it, the gears might be a little clunky until broken in.

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Severedninja I've only ever broken-in Kawasaki bikes before. I'll let you know how the gears feel after this one is fully broken in.

[@itachi1540]

CharlieOliverBates it's only a guess. Ive only been on kawasaki motorcycles myself.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

If you've got a Ninja 650 you ought to be used to a clunky gear box! (it was my last bike as well, and now that you have this GSXR you'll probably never get on it again lol!)

[@yourmatejay]

Why did the chicken cross the road? To see the new Suzuki GSXR 750 👌

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Wife is selling the FZ6R for one of these bad-boys. I get to ride it too so... :)

[@neilanderson8515]

It cost 10k down here in Dallas

[@HolderXVIII]

I think I just found my next bike

[@QDADDY6]

Props on the video! Good vid, good information. But do you not know how to turn around? You don't just use that handle bars. You lean like with any other turn, turn your head to where you're going and give it some gas. I remember years ago during the MSF course we had to do it in a small ass box. Much much smaller than that road your on. It's helpful if you need to turn around and it isn't an empty road. You have to be joking about the price right? Did you check the price of say an R6? The 1000 isn't much more than the 750 for various reasons. This bike is in a great price range but would be more if they put all the bells and whistles on it. I can tell this has to be your first time on a sport bike. You conned the turning but it isn't the bikes fault. It's yours. Not trying to sound like an ass though it does sound like it. I just don't see that you can count something against the bike that is purely operator related. Not to mention it was a pretty noob move to ask people what they think about your bike lol. The parking feature was definitely something to be mindful of. Props for that portion cause people will get in a hurry (assuming the battery will drain) and leave it. All in all though, good vid and review.

Dam bro where u get that Rare af Gsxr 650? Didnt they only make 1 in the whole world? 😂 I have a Ninja 650 as well so I'd probably tounge fuck myself as well haha. Looking to buy a 750 this week or next week, as soon as Texas Hurricane season comes near an end and all this rain & tropical storms pass. I'd never buy a bike without checking the 10 day forecast cuz I'm riding that btch for a week straight minimum 👌

[@Shmack_]

gsxr 650?

[@GGlux7]

Wild chicken yall

[@its_bigbklyn]

Lol... how do you like the bike. Since you had it for a few weeks now

[@CharlieOliverBates]

The bike actually belongs to a friend of mine. I have ridden it a few times since making this video and I really enjoy twisting the throttle. I do think that it's a bit over-priced and impractical if you're only going to be using it as a commuter. If you're going to be taking it to the track and racing then it's a winner.

[@domhamer7508]

Nice bike

[@MrDaxmortys]

Video quality is great what did u film it with?

[@CharlieOliverBates]

Kaisiru Canon 70D for intro cinematics, DJI Mavic Pro for drone shots, GoPro Hero 4 POV on motorcycle.
