I own a 2022 R7. Last week I went for a spin on a buddy’s 2013 GSXR 600. I was shocked how comfortable the GSXR is compared to the R7 (Minus the extra WIDE gas tank) I absolutely fell in love with it.

No, bought my first bike on my 18th birthday back in 2002 (Buell S3T😂) been riding ever since. Over the years, I’ve gravitated towards Yamaha for super sport motorcycles. Despite several of my friends owning one or more at any given time. Last week was the first time I rode one? 100% agree with Greg. The GSXR is pretty comfortable. And for the price of a good used one… it’s one hell of a bike!

​@Matt Hanford so you chose an r7?... 🤔

[@6582rg]

When you mention 'spongy' brakes, it's important to realize this is a track bike. The pad compound is designed to be broken in and work properly at insanely high speeds. The brakes are quite effective once heated up and at over 100 mph. There are a few upgrades for this model that significantly improve up front braking.

[@wradford1]

Bikes with good brakes are good from the first ride. Jap bikes generally have sub par brakes. Unlike premium European bikes.

[@Nine.siixxx]

[@jordanjoestar8839]

I got a 750 and at 6'3" with the adjustable pegs lowered, its fantastic. I work at a dealership and I've ridden literally all the superbikes oodles of times. Nothing is like a GSXR, in both comfort and the awesome low end their clever tuning and exhaust provides, as far as an inline 4. One bummer is my 2015 has mirror blinkers and this has the cheap crap ones. The attention to detail on the 750 seems a notch better for some reason. Perhaps they deem it special.

[@Dream-Academy]

I have a '18 Gixxer 750 and am told the litre bike is slightly more cramped. I am 6ft 2" so concerned about such issues. Up and down QS would be nice but since the 750 isn't ride by worse that never will happen. ABS would be nice in the wet but apart form those two issues the 750 is a better road and occasional track sports bike imo.

[@rushfanjames2112]

Nice input on this bike, Greg. I definitely agree, if it's also my money.. I would definitely get this over the R1. But out of all the 4 japanese liter bikes, the Fireblade RR-R is my favorite. Looking forward for your review on that and the Kawi ZX10.

[@1msorry1]

The R1 has a slanted seat; putting more weight on your wrists and more stress on your lower back. Same with the R6

Haven't ridden the thousand yet, but I was very very surprised how comfortable the 750 was....talk about judging a book.

[@KJmotoplus]

Mate, I'm glad you tried to clarify your statements of reasons not to buy a sports bike with this new review video. I have a gsxr (and busa's) and in the sports bike world, yes, the gsxr family do have a more comfortable riding position compared to their peers. And of course, city/suburbia/commute riding on a bike with a sit-up seating position is better but then when we go on weekend road trip in the country those riders are just a gaint wind sock in the breeze....They all have their place.

[@christosswc]

"Spongy" as you say makes it more usable on a daily basis, most people would get in trouble with a front brake grabbing, that's only suitable for the track imo.

I have only ridden my V2, no other sport bikes ever, so that is all I have to compare with anything. I assumed 1000s were all really aggressive so I was surprised how comfortable the gsxr was.

They need to fix the front end on that thing and cut that bump out around the headlight. The GSXs1000 front light area looks far better. Review doesn’t surprise me.

You can't ride a brand new bike and really tell exactly how brakes, suspension, clutch, and even how it makes power until the bike has a couple 1,000 miles on it and is broken in. I'm 54 years old and owned over 10 new super sports plus multiple other bikes. 35 years experience on the street, not counting dirt bike experience. I love the super sports for the suspension and handling. If I'm touring, sure I ride my touring bike. But for everyday fun, the Supersport is the way to go. I ride a lot on average 10,000 miles a year on just my GSX-R750 so in excellent riding shape. At 54 I ride for hours in the mountains. No issues as far as being comfortable. I really don't even think about it. Haha, most people are just in horrible shape (no core strength), so yes, they are miserable after 30 minutes of riding a Supersport. All these Supersport bikes are great, making plenty of power and can be tuned and set up for the person riding it.
