I put my money where my mouth is and bought a Suzuki GSX-R750 Ep3

It's finally ready...bar a few panels we're waiting for. Bob's worked his magic on my Suzuki GSX-R750 L4 and in this video I check out how he did it and ride it for the first time.

Nice to see this, your showing your human side setting off gingerly on your new baby! Enjoy fella.

[@jeffestrada6857]

I have the latest 2024 BMW S1000R & absolutely love it. However….. it doesnt compare in the simplicity & rawness of my mint condition 2010 Suzuki GSXR-750. The way you describe this bike is exactly how I feel about mine. I love it’s looks, ease of maintenance and the fact that its so so unadorned by electronics. There really is NOTHING like a Gixxer….Wonderful bike you have congratulations and that also makes me feel very lucky to have mine! Thanks for the video mate 👍

[@venomk08]

Enjoy it bud, I got back on a Gixxer 750 again last month after 5 years without a bike and haven't stopped smiling since

[@poc329]

What a state of the roads. Disgusting. We pay the highest road tax & have the worst roads. That money is clearly not being spent on the roads. That's fraud. I wish all the motoring organisations would get together & put pressure on the government to get the roads fixed properly. Not all this patching which is a loss leader. God bless you all. Ride safe.

[@afropovic]

I would pay more if they got the Swiss road engineers to do up all the UK roads.

[@rumblin_cynth_rampo374]

Road tax hasnt been used for the roads since the 1937, its classed as a general tax like income tax.

[@richardbrooks4549]

Actually we pay amongst the LOWEST road tax in the western world. Most other western countries rely on tolls. We don’t. Hence we have some of the worst roads in the

[@kmac5849]

Exhaust still has the baffle in ,waaaay different without. I’d definitely be nervous on virginal corsa’s in the fricken rain😂

[@belly450]

Council tax goes up , the roads get worse i swear.

[@paulvanhout9695]

Your bike coming along nicely and when done a definite keeper. Enjoying this series, thank you!

[@__Max-oe6zm]

GSXR750 is the best 600 ever Love the airbox growl GWoooRRR

[@RenzCepres]

I just got my 2023 gsxr 750 all the way from Canada to Ireland 🇮🇪, it’s a beast. I’m about to bring it to track in few weeks.

[@Lib-enduromedia]

Dear mr Neevesy, you didn't sound like a professional and objective Journalist anymore but a hyper happy motorcylcle rider with his new toy 🙂. First i thought he is going to cry from happiness in his helmet ;-) Ahhh happy days indeed. Enjoy your ride with safe miles.

[@budbud2509]

So true

[@GripEngineering]

Pure. The joy of direct response to the rider's inputs. I was shopping new machines March of '23 and had decided an R7 would be reasonable. But the riding position wasn't! Then this channel mentioned the 750. Suzuki still sells this bike here in the US. My Pearl White / Matte Dark Blue 2023 GSX-R750 is the finest sporting machine I've ever ridden and continues to bring pure joy to my world riding in the Ozarks. Thank you for the recommendation, and I look forward to seeing more smiles from you and your 750.

[@hitscanner]

Well happy for you - Team Suzuki all the way. Well done for resisting the urge on those new tyres / brakes 👍

[@roadkill2104]

You look as happy as anything. I'm really chuffed for you.

[@UrbanoModa]

such a great warming story, for those that have been following you for many Years

[@neevesybikes]

Thank you 😊

[@jamesdickson8015]

Bought a GSXR 750 K7 this morning as my first big bike after riding a Ninja 300 for 6 years, absolutely cannot wait!

[@keithmclean3627]

You sir are about to live your best life. My 750 k8 is the best thing I ever bought, ride the wheels off it brother.😊

[@Mrquietstom2022]

also left a Ninja 400 and gota gixxer 750. Sat back on the Ninja 400 to move it around and it felt like an actual bicycle in comparison.

[@nickrider5220]

Looking sweet Mr Neeves 😎 The 'wonderful' British weather couldn't even dampen your spirits !

[@industrialkhaos]

I remember the GSXR-750 long term loan bike you had and how hard it was to give back. Well done on grabbing your own GSXR, it's a great bike.

[@terrynicholson9273]

Shame the ABS fell off at that roundabout, 12.48 'It's got ABS' - 12.58 'There's no ABS'. 😂😂

[@droz7503]

Got my own. See name tag. Keeper!!!

[@ronrookledge4311]

Very jealous. Looking awesome. We all need a Bob in our lives! But man what are you doing taking it out in the rain 😢 Looking good 👍 😊

[@kevingray2554]

Great video , I can really relate to it. I bought one of the first gsxr750’s in ‘85 here in Adelaide but everyone of the are just awesome. I can’t believe Suzuki stopped making them!! They still churn out dr’s ect but no one can get these machines! I’m 59 and would get one tomorrow if I could! Come on Suzuki these are legendary. Really enjoying your videos mate.

[@johnsteel4719]

Man, look at your happy face :). You can really feel your happiness in this video. Takes me back to when I bought my 2005 GSXR750…. Watching the front door while I waited for it to be delivered from Wales. Now I wish I didn’t sell her….

[@John900C]

It's baby bear's porridge you want. Mummy bear's was too sweet.

[@Squiserker]

We should probably also talk about this absolutely gorgeous Porsche complementing that gorgeous 750 😁😁😁 Great video as usual!

[@IN_ZANE_]

Looking forward to more GSXR750 videos. How's that taller screen at motorway speeds? I'm the same height as you (6"), with the same bike and I find the stock screen height creates quite an annoying wind noise at motorway speeds. I'd hate to buy a taller screen and find out it isn't any better, or worse. A Speedo Healer or SpeedoDrd is worth grabbing to correct the speedo/odometer if you're doing street riding.

[@amandaforsey8033]

I recently got myself a GSX-R750 and am completely in love with it. Congrats on the bike. You'll have lots of fun on it.

[@cogROCKER]

Love these vids ..I put my L4 that iv had for 4 months on Track at Morgan Park here In Queensland last week ..And it was sheer bliss...What a Bike !! ..Coming from having a Tuned up Firestorm that i adored ..Its filled the gap in my heart and some. Looking forward to the next vid Mate !!

[@jeffx-xr7qd]

very nice gsxr750, makes you feel like a kid at Christmas

[@JD-fd6gt]

I agree with you there is nothing better than a pure sportbike with no electronics. There is just something about them that appeals to me as well, hence why my 2003 Yamaha YZF R1 will always stay in my garage, even if I decide to not ride anymore.

[@Blue00Peg]

Those smiles are clearly genuine, congratulations!!!🏍️💨

[@neevesybikes]

Thank you! 😃

[@flexywing]

Looking for to how much it cost, having done loads of similar projects, I am usually worse off! But the fun I get from just getting stuff and fixing it is priceless And as the wife will never see this she only ever knows how much I paid and how much I sold,,so she thinks I make a profit

[@Jrstrdr]

Love seeing a bike revived. Nicely done! I bought a K5 (2005) 750 in 2009 that had been crashed and over the ~10 years of ownership, I restored it to IMO better than new either with like new bodywork or upgraded parts (suspension). You don't appreciate how well a bike is set up until you ride another bike. That more analog, "pure" feel was special.

[@PandaStencils]

Lovely! Very similar to mine (except I prefer black and silver with silver wheels and I have Attack Performance Rearsets) with the Brembo RCS, steel lines, pads. The perfect trackbike and balanced on the road.

[@user-vk5zb7uf1l]

Great Bike looks Fabulous I had The K8 750 love Gixxers I now have the 750 Suzuki GSXs which as The Formidable K5 Gixxer Engines loads of Aftermarket bits on and its Suzuki Blue and Black love it Good luck with yours Neevsey it looks Fantastic Enjoy Ride safe

[@igorbiondic7554]

I'm happy for you and gsxr, we have the same situation at the same time, I bought it relatively cheap, it was even similarly damaged, i finished mine 2 weeks ago and was blown away by how good the the whole unit actually is.. My last motorcycle was a 2007 r6 rj11, and I can say that this is a totally different world.. the gsxr 750 l2 blew me away.. my best bike so far..I wish you many happy kilometers on it and if you ever visit Croatia, feel free to contact about accommodation, routes, places to visit etc..best regards..

[@jasonwood6100]

She looks an absolute beauty Michael, nice to see that a rider with your skills can still get nervous about riding your own bike in crap weather, makes us less skilled riders feel less useless.

[@kramnam4716]

So nice to see that even one of the most experienced riders gets so excited and is as cautious as a novice when conditions demand. That’s exactly why so many of us have great admiration for you N 👌

[@jeffestrada6857]

Good comment! Yeh we also have to remember he has brand new tyres that are very slippery until scrubbed on those shitty wet roads.

[@brianbiker]

Looks lovely, there’s something really satisfying about getting a low mileage ‘old’ bike out and putting it back to good use. It’s like it thanks you for doing so.

[@1103trevorp]

Hi Neevsey, the feeling you have for your Gixer 750 is similar to me with my 2010 HRC Blade. At just under 5,8" it fits my like a glove! My first one I had from 2011 and I clocked up 23k miles with I.O.M, Nordschleife, Northern Ireland & umpteen trips up north (I live near Knockhill in Scotland). I was devastated when she developed crank issues and had to scrap her a couple of years ago! But I found an identical Blade in Luton with just 2900 miles from new, the previous owner had multiple bikes, so only clocked 100 to 200 miles per year from new, so this Blade is like new, small things like a gleaming original tool kit and general condition backs up the low mileage along with previous MOT's, Anyhoo enjoy Michael and thanks for all your brilliant content 👍

[@jpmotorsport4728]

Congrats on the collection Mate 👍🏽🏍 looks stunning in the workshop, what a superb job was carried out , i can imagine your very please indeed 👍🏽, enjoy mate, look forward to future content 😎🙏🏽🏍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theavangelist]

I had that end-can on mine and it just looks beautiful and is a bit cheeky at mid-range, great machine

[@jonathanmackie4884]

Like a kid who's Christmases all came at once. Good to see you enjoying motorcycling as a hobby again and not just your job. And to see you as nervous as us mortals on a new (to you) bike with new tyres and new brakes in the rain!!

[@matthewjackson3034]

Just see the sign, Margate, Ramsgate. My old stomping ground. Bike looks great.

[@sombre6184]

Truly great bike. Would have one in a heartbeat, even the 600cc. They are still available in Canada, but here in Quebec, the licence plate fees for sport bikes are so high (2100$ CAD) + insurance, that owning such bikes are out of reach.

[@io3204]

That is terrible to hear, rather depressing really.

[@meemee8041]

I'm waiting on my colortune for a 32yr old cb400 superfour I'm bringing back to life. Tune my fire 🔥

[@debenhamdave4314]

Bought my first ever Suzuki a couple months ago, a GSXR 1000 k2 which I'm absolutely loving, as you state these bikes are so raw with no aids or omissions regulations. Cheers Neevesey enjoy your videos thanks.

[@sancoblanco]

The biked turned out really nice Neevesy, that one goes straight into your collection! I would be nervous as well, riding on new tires and wet roads, haha!

[@anxiousappliance]

Ya know - don't do a vid on the cost of getting it where you want it - it doesn't matter, its besides the point, and its your channel so you don't have to - so there. Less than boat and more than a sandwich seems close enough. lol. Just enjoy it, and thanks for sharing the joy.

[@roelfkromhout]

It’s beautiful, such a cool project. /edit: oh man, I wouldn’t have been able to do that first ride in the rain with it being that clean 😂. Just agony every single centimeter.

[@BatFastard01]

Love my Gsxr 750. After years of the latest and greatest, I managed to pick up a mint 750 srad. I never bought one when new. What a bike! Light, nimble with perfect amount of power. Loads of character with a fantastic engine. Enjoy your bike mate. 👍🏻

[@TheTonicro]

Missed opportunity to quote fandf for parts from Japan. Love your videos. Keep it up

[@martinhughes9769]

Looks absolutely beautiful 😊

[@LambChopRides]

Very nice Michael! Wish I had got the chance to take a better look at it at Cadwell.. looks stunning buddy

[@YSRreview]

look at the smile before neevsy even spoke lol, clearly a very happy man

[@charlesnelsonhonnor2520]

She's a beauty, Michael. I came and said hello to you at Cadwell on Saturday, I'd come from Spalding on my Ducati desert sled if you remember, we were just near the scrutineering bay. Anyway, good to meet you, I forgot, but I wanted to ask you about some track instruction maybe if possible. Seeing all those great Suzukis brought back some great memories and I ended up buying a 1985 GSXR 750 out the paddock. So super happy👍👍😊

[@neevesybikes]

Good to meet you, too. Yes, I do one to one training. Just drop me a line on instagram and I’ll give you the details 👍

[@charlesnelsonhonnor2520]

Hi Michael. Thanks for getting back to me, don't do Instagram but I found you on Facebook so I'll try to message you there. Cheers

[@ritchiethorup]

Hello Neeves I'm very inspired as much as I'm also in the market for one of these jewels. I'm proud to say i club raced a 2004 750 with great success in 2004 and loved it. I no longer have racing intentions but definitely some track days for fun. Thanks again for all you do. Ritchie

[@ogofog9120]

That exhaust is gorgeous

[@GhostRider020]

Of course it's raining. I think I got the last model (2023 in Canada) you could get with no ABS, Traction Control, Wheelie control or any other "My computer programmer is smarter than you are" crap. I recall one boring rainy day on a straight road when I decidedto see how high an rpm I could reach with full throttle (starting from just above stalling) in 4th before the tire spun. At 4000 rpm the bike said "Don't do that." That bike brings out the hooligan. You have good self-restraint. No doubt learned the hard way.

[@scottsimmons6928]

I keep thinking of getting another one again but I have a street triple 765r and I love it. I hate the rain 😂

[@deon1978]

Bike looks amazing. It is really a beautiful bike. Better looking even than the new bikes which all have these huge bread boxes underneath. This changed my perception on what I was looking for and I'm also going to see if I can find a GSXR like this. Why pay the silly money for the new bikes which I anyway can't afford when bikes like this can be had. My only really memory of GSXR's is my brother had two. One thousand and one 750. But I think both where from the late 80's and maybe early nineties. He took me for a spin a few times and one was really tuned. I remember it was wild. And the out neighbours had some GSXR'S in the late 90's. And the guy and his mate would blast past our house pulling wheelies in shorts and t-shirts..🤣 Good old nineties. Sadly I never rode one myself. Always knew people with bikes but never had any myself till much later in my life. Take care and enjoy your lovely bike. Loved the vide 💪👍

[@afropovic]

Have to meet up with you one day. You've been a fixture in my 20 yr bike history. As for your speedo over reading due to the sprocket change, there was a small device back in the day called a 'Speedo Healer' designed specifically for this issue. Not sure if they're still sold, but there's probably a replacement by someone if not.

[@rjcarpentry625]

Great vid sir thanks, you've got your GSRX750 giggle back!. Gave me a big smile. Bike looks transformed and as for Bob, what a lovely gent, he’s done you a right favour as that work takes days. Enjoy and keep it up....

[@n.elliott9122]

Very good on you Neeves. Enjoy the moments out on her and please do be safe.

[@alicec9399]

Beautiful 750 congrats, you should try a set of helibar riser clip ons lil more comfy for us old geezers

[@BeamRider100]

I can't wait to hear it winding out on the track. They're the coolest sounding engine, high revs plus meaty.

[@user-gq2bs3vn3q]

Congratulations neevsey she’s looking great , they don’t make em like this no more best era for bikes 👍👍

[@hartley383]

Absolutely brilliant Neevsy, to see your excitement was great. Would seem were all the same on “ new bike day” 👍🏻

[@TheJmebe]

Superb. Looks and sounds special. Rides like that are lovely, even in the wet. Everything about the bike makes you feel good 😎

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Looks and sounds lovely mate, can’t beat the GSXR blue and white. This is a keeper and future classic and only 3k miles is some win! Practically a brand new bike

[@kainesmith5373]

It was brilliant to watch your first ride on it, special! I wish I would've gone to Suzuki Live now 😭 GSX-R = KING! 👑

[@love4boost]

The Suzuki blue is iconic and I know we’ve been spoiled in the states by this bike still being sold. 2017 they had white/black/red and 2023 grey/black/red. Then I think for the k7 750 and 1000 they had the black and gold. I’m someone who never really liked fully faired bikes but I’d have any of those in my garage just to look at. I think the gixxers stand the test of time when it comes to looks because everything else is the current models. Well except for the current ZX-10R. That thing is butt ugly. Prior generation looked awesome though. But K5 on still holds up to modern looks. All the 600’s had their time from 07-12 and I can’t think of any 1000 outside of the gixxer I liked prior to 2015, well aside from the 1098 because Ducati nailed it with that and I personally think it still shares that look almost 20 years later

[@scottmcpeek4132]

What a beauty! Proving you *can* go home again. Enjoy it in good health!

[@pistolpete6321]

Fantastic motorcycle, congratulations, enjoy!

[@Vystruck]

Grats, brother! Well deserved

[@TheScortUK]

Looking great, shame it's the fugly front end one, the K8 & K9 was the last good looker, with the K6 & K7 being the best imo. Nonetheless, looks great now, and here's to many happy 1000s of miles 😎

[@Morgannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

As someone watching from abroad, I am in shock at the state of your roads 🤯

[@garysteadman1236]

whilst I share the concern, most of the video was filmed on the Isle of Thanet which has always had poor roads for the last 60 years...( I was born there, but don't live there) UK roads are pretty bad this is just an extreme example of how bad..

[@jayhooks]

Lovely bike, nice to see how happy you are with it. Makes me miss my K8 750 😢.

[@wolfurine]

I bought an L3 in mint condition a few weeks ago - of course my first ride on her was in typical Scottish weather (pishing down) haha. Looking forward to the suspension set-up video. Cheers Neevesy 👍

Great vid. Fantastic to see it come together so well & still a few improvements to go to make it even better yet. Really looking forward to the Suzuki Live vid too.

[@hlpang1075]

Hi Neevsy. I have been riding 30+ years and never owned a real sports bike. I recently rode a CBR600RR on track and the 24 Fireblade SP. The riding position feels totally alien to me. I am thinking of getting one just for the experience. Could you talk more about what its like to have a sports bike as a daily rider, through city traffic and all. I know you are supposed to use your core to hold yourself up but I cannot see myself doing that for more than a minute at a time. Its like asking someone to plank for a few hours at a go. Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic! Beautiful bike!
