What is it that makes Suzuki’s GSX-R750 such a great sportsbike?

My K8 750 was only 4lb heavier than the 600 with at least 20 more HP.
Plus, it had both high and low speed compression damping adjustment.
@12.08 Ish "K8 at Guadix" Fond fond memories of overnighting here with a super-hot lady who liked to ride(sic) with me on our crew's mad dashes from Glasgow to Nerja ,Marbella, Malaga, Denia , Puerto Banus then Ibiza in the mid-eighties with GPZ's etc, then into the new millennium, now equipped with R1's etc you get the scene, what will it do mate?… eighty-six miles on a tank .
Thanks, when you mentioned Guadix the memories came flooding back.
Still got my 748 2002 R1 2004 Buell Firebolt and RGM Rickman Metisse Triumph Trident race bike from '73.
P.S. careful with that (analogue) axe Eugene…
I wish I would have upgraded to a 750, but I loved my 2003 Gixxer 600
Where’s part one?
Will always be my favorite sport bike!
Had a '98 GSXR 750 srad, great bike but for the road I much preferred my 2001 ZX9R.
Might not be that many left if boys start sticking them on track
Great video, thanks!
The 2000's era was a golden age for bikes & bikers alike (luckily I'm one).
Bikes where fun, ridiculously fast, changing & improving every year, with all the manufacturers gagging to beat each other. And, 8k usually got you the latest offering ! Happy days, super reliable & cheap to service too..
I wont mention the way modern bikes have gone, over weight, over complicated, over priced & poor quality, some brands anyway. Very sad. Sorry I had to mention it !🤦😂
It’s just so weird that this 750 class disappeared… I’ve had many bikes & my gsxr750 was easily one of the best. Literally the perfect balance with near 600 size & weight but that extra 750 oomph.
I had gsxr 750 in various forms from 2000 until 2006 but then I had a go on a c2h Zx10r of which I still own one. For me personally that Zx10r was the best sportsbike made in the 00’. Great vid though.
Beautiful machine. ❤
I had both a '94 (silver/pink) and an '05 (20th Anniversary) GSX-R750. Brilliant bikes!
I was racking my brain trying to decide between an 890r and 765rs when I realize both are trying to fill the spot the GSXR 750 made. I’ve enjoyed buying them and fixing the years of abuse they received from other GSXR riders
I guess if you like motorcycles that are 20 years out of date. This is the motorcycle for you.
They still make them in the US
Need to get you out on my specced-out L5 — just off into the garage to bestow it with a few more 'embellishments'. You know where I am!
750turbo is good. I had one. 155hp and wide power band. Came on strong and linear starting at 6k and pulled til it hit the limiter.
A kawasaki man myself but i definitely have a soft spot for a suzuki,had a GS 550 and a GS 1,OOO E which i absolutely loved and would love to have again, Honda.and Yamaha make bikes but kawasaki and suzuki make dreams.
Michael Neeves delivers it again! Simply the best moto journalist out there
What a machine !!! had a K1 brand new and did 15k miles in first year was highly addictive ,absolute perfection and never missed a beat. Moved on to the K5 Gsxr 1000 a few years later had it 7 years and would say the perfect litre Superbike , currently got theL7 Gsxr 1000 , again a fantastic bike,looks amazing every time I open the garage door . Hope Suzuki brings the 750 back to UK shores , which would be significant move like Honda and Kawasaki have with their 600 super sports and revive a missing choice in the motorcycle segment. Loving your reviews and content can’t wait for your next one. 🤩👍🏻
I remember looking for my first big bike back in 2006 and i decided on the k3 gsxr 600 based on the cheap insurance £350 tptf for a 30 odd year old with zero no claims and just passed my direct access but the selling point for me was the bikes low weight at about 163kg. The 750cc and the 1000cc are equally low weight with just a few kg's of difference between the range of 600cc to 1000cc. The k5-k6 1000cc was 166kg and 176 bhp making it the best power to weight ratio superbike at the time apart from the mighty 2004-2005 zx10r which was about the same power to weight ratio at 1.06 bhp to 1 kg as it was 181 bhp and 170kg, so a little bit heavier.
Both are iconic bikes and lightweight compared with todays 200kg superbikes and it goes to show that you really cant push the boundaries any further with a 1000cc bike although i think the panigale v4s was pushing about 1.2-1.3 bhp per kg.
The zx10r and the gsxr 1000 of that time are iconic for that reason and they are exceptional superbikes at affordable prices and the only reason that i would not personally opt for the 750cc at that time was the fact that the insurance and the road tax was the same rate as having a 1000cc gsxr.
I have owned 2x k6 gsxr 1000cc and at full throttle and approaching maximum speed i felt as though the front end was too light and twitchy for me to have the confidence to go balls to the wall with that bike so i can understand the balance of the power to handling of the 750cc.
Also. Where the hell is episode 1?
Yeah. The land speed record for a 750 is 171mph so I very highly doubt anybody averaged 184 anywhere.
i own a 02 can't get enough of it smiles for miles 😎👌🏼
I had the privilege of owning a K5 750 from new and still have very fond memories of it – the airbox howl was very addictive!
Can you buy tell me what year this thing is? Because I might buy one I mean, I have a 2024 Honda CB. R 600 are 600 R. R. But I mean this one sounds intriguing as well
MN waxing lyrical about his true love. Who knew that could be so entertaining. Thanks!
Proud owner of a L6 750 – Just looking at it in the garage puts a smile on my face!
Brilliant ode to an even brilliant bike..
They don't sell this in the UK? In the US they still do…that sucks for our UK friends 🙁
I’ve seen before and after dyno and A/F ratio charts from a good tuning shop on the 2011+ 750’s, and I have to say, I have absolutely no desire for a liter bike after seeing that.
From about 126 and 54 at the tire, to the complete elimination of the flat spot below 6,000 and a new pair of figures as 140 and 60.
That’s just a proper flash, no parts or other mods. It’s a rocket. 👌🏻
I have a k5 gsxr 750 and I keep getting gas in the airbox, I clean it then acouple days later there’s a small amount in the left side of my airbox, and I don’t know why
Damn. You've made me want to ditch my gsxs750 and get an older gsxr750. 😂
My k6 750 is a absolute dream to ride and proper goes like fxxk
The lightest was the 80s
388lbs none of the liquids could touch
I owned number 4/25 for 10 years never started it and should never of sold it. Make me sad seeing this but great vid thanks 👌
The Goldilocks of sports bikes!
Wow great video neevsey, change is a sad thing when it comes to motorbikes wish they would make them again and the screaming 600s 👍👍👍
Suzuki should just make a new inline 4 GSX-R750 with 170hp
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).
If only the sitting position were comfortable, it may be the most balanced performance oriented motorcycle regardless of vintage and lack of electronics gizmos. The last iteration of this bike in a more upright sitting position, higher/wider/nearer bars, and naked or standard-ish styling (i.e., no fairing) would be nice. I don't know if engine torque can be meaningfully incremented, but that would be nice, too. Also, quick-shifter. This bike, with added torque, and with the riding position and shape/form of a Street Triple or an MT-09. Still, for the class of bike that it is supposed to be, it isn't wanting in any company. And, oh, for what it's worth, the engine induction sounds like a tiger.
My 05 is my daily.
