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! ♥️🙏💯🏍️🇺🇲🙏♥️

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.

@@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.

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.

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).

That IS a gorgeous example of a gsxr in that SRAD scheme! I really feel that hole in the market place you referred to, that missing middle ground. I’m not rich enough to afford, nor to i really need a 200hp Panigale/ rsv4/ s1000rr , and at the same time i need more bike than the parallel twins can provide. But i like fairings and clip ons! How i wish Triumph would stick a fairing on their 765 engine and chassis! My perfect motorcycle right there, especially since i just don’t get on with inline fours that much

I've ridden heaps never owned one for some reason but love them. I feel the Daytona 675 I owned made me chuck it into corners without care either, similar feeling. But I grew up on an NC30 hah!

would love one but the lack of TC stops me from buying one, had a few slip out moments in and around town slower speeds that tc caught, oil slick bad road etc

Great bike and superb video !! However, if I may put you on the spot Neevesy, what bike would you prefer the Suzuki GSXR 750 or the Triumph Daytona 675R. I have heard you also talk wonders about the Triumph and its inline 3 having that character... (also has Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes), however the GSXR has a few extra horsepower and is also very maneuvrable and flickable into corners... If it was your money which one would you choose ?? Many many thanks for your videos

Suzuki would just take it. More powerful and free-revving 😊👍
