I've owned GSX-R 600s, 750s, and 1000s, the 600 while a superb handling machine lacked power in low to mid range and the 1000 had all the power but so much you'd never get close to using it whereas the 750 was the goldilocks zone, power right through the range but not a terrifying amount, IMO it really was the perfect sports bike.

[@budbud2509]

Yeah Ive had 4 GSX-R 750 each has been an improvement , Ive ridden the 600 and 1000 and u are right its the Goldilocks one. I miss mine but got a Triumph 765 Street Triple RS as it was a bit more upright and not so compact for aging !!

[@yonniboy1]

@@budbud2509 Snap! they do say great minds think alike😊 I'm now in my 60s and much as I love sports bikes my old bones don't, I've also got the Street Triple RS, I got the new model (in cosmic yellow) at the end of march, it's my third 765 ST, the first was an R and I love the new RS, I can't believe how Triumph have improved what was already a great bike but somehow they've managed it, the handling is sharper but still absolutely planted and the shorter gearing has really pepped up the low and mid range acceleration, then adding Brembo stylema brakes is a step up from the great M40s, altogether a new benchmark in middleweights .

[@budbud2509]

@@yonniboy1 Ha yes well I'm on my second 765 RS !! I was sorely tempted to go for the very latest( that would have been my 3rd) , and yes that Yellow one looks stunning, nice the Triumph is putting some colour back .The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I had only just done 1,000 miles and I fancied a summer being able to ride the thing fully rather than find myself running in another ST 765 !! I'm also getting on finding myself the wrong side of 70 ( how did that happen ? ) that was part of the reason I changed last time having only done 1200 miles on the first 765. My thoughts are when u get to my age u better ride exactly what u want to because common sense tells me I'm nearer the end of my riding career than the beginning !! Nice the weather has picked up !

[@julianstiff4685]

Yes what is the point in having so much power that you can’t access all of it on the road. It’s far better to be able to ring a bikes neck and use it all 👌

[@yonniboy1]

@@budbud2509 I must confess it was the colour made me go for the new Street triple RS and the performance upgrades are just a bonus, as the previous 765s although great bikes needed a wider colour choice.

[@philipthody5007]

I had a K6 probably one the best bikes I have owned, but I sold it real quick, it turned me into a complete a-hole every time I rode it, it was completely addictive it wasn’t particularly how fast I went on it it was how aggressive my riding became, I know I was the one in control of the throttle, I own several bikes and my “go to” sports bike now is an old steel framed cbr600 , I can give that good caning and it’s 120 not 160 nowhere near as good a bike as the Gixeer but I might live a bit longer 👍🏻

[@pricklypunter]

Ahh the legendary GSXR 750. One of my cousin's had one for a short time in 2008. He fell in love with it, for the 3 weeks he had it! He only broke an ankle, but the bike went to the happy track. I think it was just one of those bulletproof mid noughties bikes, that Suzuki were so good at making. I'm not sure I would have one myself, although I do love a four banger and this one was a peach. I'm more older skool than that in my taste in bikes, but there's no denying it's performance or handling though, and that sound...Quite possibly one of the best street oriented sports bikes ever produced. I completely agree on the cost. The number and variety of decent machines available today, for relatively little money, I think anyway, is a great way to start your biking career, folks are just spoiled for choice these days 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it’s a good time to be in the market for a bike!

[@andrewcoe1462]

Loved the video. Yes, it really is that good. I bought a 2014 one 4 years ago and ride it every sunny day. Wonderful. And then there's the track days....

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching Andrew!

[@EricBanner571]

I still have my 2016 GSXR750. Same bike as per your video. I went up 2 teeth on the rear and one down on the front sprockets and that gives plenty of bottom end torque. For a bike that was last updated in 2011, it would still give a number of modern middle weight bikes a run for their money. 28000 km and not one issue. They are a very comfortable sports bike that also perform well at the track.

Thanks for the memories. When I was buying sports bikes (starting in 1986), here in the US, “Gixxers” were stereotyped to be prized by the “squids,” or guys in flip-flops and tank tops, going double the speed limit. (As opposed to VFR riders like me who were thought to be old codgers.) Thanks again.

[@stephenbaron5681]

You should look at Old versus new superbike challenge: 2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000 and 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 S on Revzilla. The 15 year old Suzuki was faster around the track then a brand new $28K Ducati. The hype around Suzuki sports bikes was true!

[@laz1go286]

On the side note: At that particular track the Ducati couldn't excell its true power potential as it was a fairly short, and narrow track. The Suzuki on the other hand was geared down, and had major suspension work and brake service done to it by ARI. Whilst the Panigale was stock standard. It was very much presented in a way it gets the sensational unexpected outcome. And this is reflected in the views it has now.. None the less love the Gixxer, I own a K5, and the Inline4 is so much fun and easy to ride ✊

[@kevintunaley5079]

@@laz1go286 that is the thing of it all, watching motogp different bikes do better at different tracks. I would bet if that track had longer straights the Ducati would have won do to having longer legs. I own a 2015 GSXR 750 and I love it. I do think I would like a more upright bike for city traffic though and am thinking of going smaller like the Duke 390. Not getting ride of the 750 though.

[@68orangecrate26]

Great review.. I’ve been wanting a sport bike with taller gears than my Speed Triple. I think the GSX-R may be the best value…

[@Dshuts2020]

So...scanned as many comments as possible thinking someone may have mentioned it but couldnt see anything...first proper bike i ever owned was the GSR 750. Gloss black 2012...as youve so far convinced me to buy the trident 660 and now a kawasaki z900rs i think it's only fair you find a GSR750 and have a play and tell us what you think :) ...if you can find one that is...either way i found the riding position of the GSR 750 over the GSXR 750 that little more comfortable but with all the benefits of that engine (GSR likely detuned a little but cant remember as it was a while ago...); coming to life at 4k rpm and then again at 8k rpm...just wow...quite a looker as well.Thank you for the video Andy.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good luck getting your unlimited licence asap!

[@azwads5126]

Bit like the UK system 🤔

[@Otterplus]

The beauty, if you want to call it that, of Suzuki sport bikes is that there have been minimal alterations since inception. That’s said, they’re still closest to the original raw feeling and the aftermarket is absolutely massive. At the same time, it’s made incredibly difficult to justify buying new (600, 750 in the states) when the last two decades are essentially all the same model. I feel that both the 600 and 750 are soon to be discontinued globally as the gsxr and gsxs 1000 models get all the updated goodies

[@_5ive6]

I’m newer to looking into bikes, what would you say is the best year(s) for the 750, and/or when did they start essentially reproducing the same model yearly

[@Otterplus]

@@_5ive6 I’d say 2005-2007 since everything since is based on those engines. Even the brand new GSXS-GT is based on the K5, 2005 GSXR engine. They’ve made all kinds of changes since then, but it’s the same general base

A friend of mine has owned GSXR 750 and 1000's and I far preferred riding his 750 to its bigger brother. The 750 was roomier and more comfortable (how's that work? ) and it was the best sportsbike, by far, I've ever had a go on. The downpipes on your example look like they might need replacing soon, unless it was a trick of the light....

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes, great machines these aren’t they…

[@Chijousaikyo]

Im sure it is the weight, what makes it more uncomfortable. 600/750 are literally the same bike, very light and nimble, however a Liter Sportbike is a totally different animal.... Own S1KRR now and won't lie, it is a bliss to ride, but is heavier and gives me a lot more work on corners and need more strenth to tame that beast, contrary with the GSX-R750.

Its nearly telepathic in its braking and handling and the way it manages to just BARELY scare me but reassure me has me convinced ill never sell it. My close friend races professionally and in corners he told me "dude that thing is so much faster around corners than my race bike its insane" which is nuts considering i dont push it past 7/10th on the street. No ABS, No TCS. Just wheels, motor, brakes and me. Just how it should be. Im 6' 3" and find it much more pleasant than all other sportsbikes ergo wise! You can also lower the rear sets because they are OEM adjustable. Genius machine!

Hi Gents would Yourll recommend this 750 cc as a beginner bike...Thinking about this one or the bandit s ..thanks Guys.

[@jaime4290]

@@kidronreddy1671 No, I would not recommend it as a beginner bike.

[@moq26]

I have the l3 in the same colour scheme as this one, briliant on both road and track

[@simonhall5086]

Ha ha TMF. Its about time you extended your garage. 👍 Lovely bike, aren't they all though. Cheers

[@simonthomas5367]

Hey TMF! So you've made the Gixxer boys happy! (Great bike though). Now it's time for the Pan ST1100!! You must know someone in the UK who'd let you play with one....?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes the Panny is top of my list - I ask for one every month…it will happen!!

[@joshuaprice4675]

I need to get my GSXR600 K4 going again. Havent ridden it since 2009. 2800 miles on it.

[@rabfergy7155]

K7 would be my choice, think they are fantastic bike. Especially if you have tried 1000 and its to tall and feels too heavy try the 750. More than enough power for the roads.

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Way back in the day I owned a Yamaha FZ750. I really liked the look of the Suzy though.

[@billcotton1551]

I know a guy who had one of these, and loved it. He was talked into trading it for the 1000. Didn't like the bigger bike as much, and took a huge financial hit to get his 750 back.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh dear!

[@stevecade857]

Had a K5 GSXR750 and it was the perfect blend of lightness and usable power for a road usable sports bike. It's wasn't the bike but me why it went in the end. I love sports bikes but they don't love me. Just too uncomfortable for the road riding I prefer to do when there are other options around.

[@UOO303T]

Gr8 bike the gsxr I've got a 1981 gsx 750 pity you can't get one to do next

[@martiniv8924]

Don’t take this the wrong way Andy, but a short ride on our congested roads wouldn’t give you more than a hint at what the Gixxer 750 can do, I think you need one in the garage, do a few track days and do a school or two, knee down maybe, stand up wheelies ? 😉

[@ryant7951]

Have a 2011 750 that’s my baby 😁 couple years I’ll be getting that 1000

[@petegorillo6254]

Love the Classic review series, and the gsxr 750 has legendary reputation. If you came across a GSXR 1000 K5 would you consider reviewing?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

100% yes - a legendary bike for sure….

[@loddude5706]

Ah, 'the one that got away'. Played with many a Gixxer 1100 (including a full-fat RR called 'Petunia', & THAT was very silly) but never the 750. One of life's little regrets : )

[@simonrogers7539]

Maybe test a few of the grand daddies, orignal GSX, GPZ,FZR, VF, to see how good todays bikes realy are, enjoy your tests, you look for the real life values rather than just talking up the latest and greatest, well done😊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Simon - appreciate that!

[@HippoDrones]

I have a 2017 GSXR750, which is basically the same bike with just a different sprocket set when stock from the 2012, although mine has more extreme sprocket sizing. I am not hugely flexiable after breaking my back in the past, and also having a tad too much middle aged spread 😀so I have fitted some high bars to mine to make it more comfortable, also has a Yoshi can, which sounds glorious. It is my second Gixer 750, had a K7 in the past, also a very fun bike. They get to naughty speeds very very quickly. I think the brakes let it down these days, but it still stops well.... and I love that it doesn't have any ABS or TC etc. I keep thinking about chopping it in for something more modern... but then I ride it, and can reach the ground with both feet, it has near enough 150bhp, it is light, it handles great, and the yellow and black paint on mine looks amazing... and I think that there really isn't anything out there that is better enough to justify the extra cost.... although if Triumph do a lime green Speed Triple 1200RS, I might be tempted! 😀hahaha

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one….sounds like a keeper to me! Great to hear from you again, hope you’re well?

[@HippoDrones]

@@TheMissendenFlyer all good ty Andy, you are up early... I'm just off to bed! 😁

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'm always up early - it's an age thing....see you at ABR?

[@HippoDrones]

@@TheMissendenFlyer haha... I'm working nights this weekend, hence my bed time. Aye, really looking forward to it, was cracking fun last year 👍

[@andrewhornby3132]

Great review I have a 2002 gsxr 750 had it now 6 years and still love riding it

[@ufcker915]

What pipe you have on yours?

[@azwads5126]

Is it carb or injection ?

[@cliveomahoney4096]

It is marvellous. The pretty ones were earlier, mid-00s.

[@gerrypowell2748]

It’s always been underrated the 750R😉
