- Although this bike has been simply amazing throughout my years of ownership with it. If it were possible to go back in time, there are a couple things that I would have addressed totally different or sooner. And now that I have addressed these issues, I honestly have almost zero complaints about my Gsxr 750. It is a great bike!

The fact that this bike hasn’t been changed is because it’s going to continue to sell abundantly as is. It’s a good bike and it’s the only one in the 750 class amongst the Japanese machines. I think it’s total badassery just the way it is.
Suzuki gotta message for all y’all “Don’t fix it if it ain’t Broke”
Yeah, but look at kawasaki. They keep advancing and adding.
@@mpc2510adding stuff that the bike doesn't need.
Indeed, but if you can improve the bike for your intended use then crack in with the mods.
That's why they ain't sellin as much. Imagine if they update the thing. I mean they're great bikes but could be better
@@slimfit767 Yea doesnt “need” it, but the option is there for abs, wheelie and traction, cruise control, kqs, etc. Point is, they’ve been testing things and trialing things. Suzuki has done nothing but change fairing colors…
a big advantage of the oem not changing a design is that you can find replacement parts much easier. when 🏍️ keep getting changed every few years good luck finding used parts.
Exactly, u could legit rebuild a 2011+ gsxr 750 from nearly ground up for less than $2000 if u have a frame
The relaxed ergo helps us old guys with bad backs... Since 2011: Naked bikes, Retro Classics, ADV/Touring have become more popular so sales on Sportbikes have suffered and so why invest upgrades on something that's not really selling well anymore. Hats off to Suzuki for even just keeping this old girl available and in play.
Understandable
I’m new to the GSXR 750…and I love it. Coming from a stunt riding background where I rode primarily 636s and MT07…the 750 is much smoother and feels lighter. Digging the content
Much appreciated!!! Ride safe.
The fact that it's outdated is the best thing about this motorcycle. It's old school, it's analog. It's exactly what you need and nothing more. No traction control or abs to save you. It will teach you what you need to know. Be a man and enjoy it! You'll be a much better rider than anyone relying on rider aids. Get out there and get after it!
Most of these issues have been addressed by the 2023 model that I have purchased... Damn good bikes best all around in my opinion... Speed of a litre bike with the agility of a 600
Speed of a litre bike?! You are joking, no?!😂😂😂
@@georgevasi2034as long as the copper can’t get you it’s fast 😂
Most of these issues have been addressed?? It’s the same as a 2011! 2011-2023 same exact bike minus color changes
the 600, 750 & 1000 ALL use the same frame
@@dopeytripod 600/750 yes not a 1000. Completely different
Just a little reminder, that the US is one of the few remaining countrys where you can buy these beautys factroy new. Due to "great" emission laws e.g. in the EU, the last model year here is 2015 and that's it. That's the reason suzuki won't spend any money on improving them, since the market share globally is too low. Just apprechiate this amazing toy. Wish i had one in new condition. :(
Not been updated because it's already discontinued in most of the rest of the world.
I think it's dope you can still buy this model in the same spec it was in 2011. If Suzuki brought out a new version of this bike it would end up being much heavier, with more restrictions and emissions rubbish, have ABS brakes that people would complain about and cost a few grand more etc...
Even with the latest generation GSXR1000 that's out now, imaging if Suzuki re-released the K5/K6 GSXR1000, it would be massively popular, not because it's more modern or has new tech, but because it's a classic analogue riding experience without all the modern rubbish that gets in the way. That's how I see the GSXR750, an old school pure analogue riding experience from a time when bikes weren't so restricted, which by some fluke, you can still buy brand new, quite a unique thing really.
yea buy 12 yr old design at current prices, I nknow it is not priced at 2011 price yet has 2011 design and tech LOL squids aresquids pay 2023 pruce for new 2011 tech
@@RT22-pb2ppbuy it new with a warranty
At least you have more parts available from 2011 - current
You're right, our GSXRs need more to turn in than an R6 & ZX6R but we're more STABLE in the corner
The Nissin master has FEEL, but a brembo gives more BITE
Feel you about the headlights
Your bike 🏍 is Amazing looking 👌🏽
Steel lines are a big help too.
I was about to tell him the same thing. Putting steel braided brake lines + EBC brake pads makes the brakes feel absolutely spot on perfect, as they should be. I have no confidence issues with them whatsoever after I changed those simple things out.
Ditto Galfer steel lines are it.
Best all around sportbike! I keep up with 1000’s except on long straightaways
Yea this thing definitely does do some hanging w 1000’s
“The same or identical.” Classic.
Love the clasic styling I don't need a refresh they probably fuck it up
Due to emissions they wont redesign the 750 or it would be slower. I got a 2023 GSXR750Z still loving the shit out of my bike not having any real issues. The ONLY complaint I have about my bike is the handlebar vibration, but I heard that a tune fixes the problem.
Yea each to their own but even my k8 corners fast . Fast tip in stable as in the corners brakes are good but do fade ...... Those new models look ugly k8 sexy as but k6 good too . Gsxr750 is the best 600 ever made hands down
The color on that model is gorgeous.
seen this joint in biker Boyz and instantly fell in love salute to you king!
That’s the reason I ride a k4 750 till this day 💯❤️
GSXR-750 is on my bucket list, because the Pro testers I trust, (Neevsy), love this bike. I'm interested to know what model Brembo master cylinder you will install and the make of your quick shifter.
I’m getting a 2024. 750
I've been waiting for a new version form them for a decade now... BTW, the wheels look awesome.
Me and you both, and thank you!
Welp, 800cc are about to debut and they will be way less power than this classic steed.
@@whess1286 I'm waiting for that one too. an 800 twin will do me just fine. Especially if it goes below 10k as all things indicates.
WTF, who was it that asked for less power in their sport bike? Certainly not me. @@whess1286
I'm in my late thirties and i would not ever consider a quick shifter on my bikes i enjoying trying every time to make a good smooth fast manual shift
They dont need changing,great bikes...why fix whats not broken
Bingo, but it could just be a little more aggressive.
Yellow light is friendly to other road users. So its fine
That’s front end light love it .. cause drivers see you better ..
I raise my handle bars above the triple clamps on my sport bikes, people say it dramatically changes the handling but I don't think so. Also I can ride for hours without being insanely uncomfortable.💯👌
The reason why Suzuki hasn’t updated the bike is because it’s been discontinued in other countries. They’re only sold in America so I don’t think they’ll really benefit from updating it from a business standpoint
Because the Gixxer doesn’t need a quick shifter,or a turbo,or traction control or all the bullshit you mentioned 🤷♂️🙄
Only need those things when skill isn't where it should be
Yeah but squids do lol
Love my 2023. Gearing is fine by me. Maybe if I were on a track being continuously on the brakes as much as giving her full throttle, I would notice some fade, but haven't taxed them that much on the street.
EBC ROTORS AND PADS will haul you down quicker. Change headlight bulb to a LED.
Suzuki does this thing where they make a perfect bike, and then dont touch it for decades.
Valid
My man your bike is awesome.
Thank you!
You ever think of getting a white back tyre? Feel like that could look nice since you got a red front one. Sexy bike and it doesn't need any changes at all. just an idea.
Lol white wouldn’t look bad, but as soon as I pull out of my driveway that rim would be halfway black😂
My bike has dual led headlights for lows and highs, and you still can’t see shit at night. I wouldn’t sweat that.
Yes making the reat lower helps or lowering the front forks makes the wheel base shorter and will turn in quicker but will be less stable.
Rear is raised.
@@TVBCorrupt I ment making the rear higher will put more weight on the front wheel
I gotta agree with the style update. Headlights to "bubbled" imo. Starting to grow in me since they're less then inclined to give it a make over. I had a 2008 and by far my favorite headlight design they had.
Giving it more pitch definitely helps turn in. A nice dds front cartridge install with end caps. Will do the trick!😂
Hey bro, change those headlight bulbs out for led. Ridiculous difference, if you buy decent ones from Hikari or something.
Why change what works? It really does't have much competition in the segment.
Yes, a 600 will feel more nimble than a 750 lol.
Did you bleed the brakes when you got it assuming you purchased new?
Always good to do on a new bike.
the 750 is only 7 pounds heavier than the 600 (2025 gsxr brochures) and has more power, how does that make the 600 more nimble? I had a 2013 gsxr 750 and I just paid for a 2025 gsxr 750 which will arrive sometime in mid September. my current ride , a 2016 bmw r1200r is probably the best bike I have ridden and continue to ride, it has a bunch of extras that I barely use, although I use the heated grips all the time in winter.
It's not outdated...it's classic
I've never owned a Suzuki but I think almost every young guy that wants a sport bike wanted a gsxr at one time or another and that bike would look sick if the white on the tank was black and the front white fairing was red. Overall it looks awesome.
The rubble this engine/exhaust has at idle is perfect. I'm not sure if there is a 750 (or close) sport bike with a 4 inline that is similar to the GSXR 750?
Nice video, just check again your front tire rotation mark, it is mounted backwords ..
Lol! I noticed that too! Front tire is definitely backwards
@@vr46nh69bs11 lt's funny that riders prefer the looks over safty .. (l saw that many times : they want the front tread to look the same as the rear)
Yeah lucky to even be able to get them
This bike is hugely popular in Europe and they can't even buy one new anymore....
They won't update it cuz sales are too low
Sheeeesh! Came across the video and recognized the area. Not sure if that was you popping a wheelie off 6th and Resort ?
Bingo
@@TVBCorrupt good shit bro ! I have a 750 as well ! You be safe out there !
Likewise
What about the gearing? I want to get a 750 and the first thing I'm thinking of doing is to shorten up the sprockets. First gear takes you to like 80 mph and that seems too tall for my liking. What do you think?
Yea I would say with stock gearing the acceleration through gears after 1 and a little of second feel sluggish. But after sprocket swap… it was a different animal. Power wheelies on acceleration 1-3rd gear
@@TVBCorrupt Nice, thanks.
I like the gearing. The rev limit comes up pretty fast at full throttle. Took me a while to learn not to hit that rev limiter. @@TVBCorrupt
But the aftermarket is so huge for the GSXR in which is useful.
My gixxer pushing 170hp, runs with the liter bikes. Less weight.
Great video. And info.
i got this bike and i regret buying it. working on this bike is so annoying. the fairings snap easy, the inverted forks blow out oil seals easy. massive pain in the butt. motorcycles are supposed to be easy to work on, two bolts off and ur in the guts of the engine. but this bike.... nope. gotta remove 10000 things to get anything done
😂😂 you are not lying about the forks. As far as fairings… they are super simple once your are comfortable w the bike
There's a saying if it ain't broke don't fix it
You’re not wrong!
The GSXR 750 is perhaps the best all around sport bike ever made. Fantastic bike.
I’d have to agree
Good vid! Question what rotors did you go with? looking to do the same.
You have an actual throttle cable, rare nowadays. Tire profile helps tip in
Yes, and for street riding a 180/60/17 isn’t ideal
You didn’t know what it looked like before you bought it???
Where did you get those red screws you used for the windscreen?
Bro you have zero clue the Gixxer 750 is the Prototype machine since 1985 best balanced bike period had my since brand new November 2000
Definitely have a great deal of knowledge on the gsxr 750 platform… A lot. Just simply needed a couple mods, not fun being stock anyways!
Can’t believe the amount of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ nonces commenting. I’d get that if you were talking about adding one of the stupid extended swingarms, but these are just simple mods.
Exactly
its the best weight bike for new riders lighter the 600's and 1000's
Those wheels are dope. Theyre not stock are they?
Marchesini rims
That bike is built for speed. Period.
Stonned for life
Can I ask why the 750 then??? Why not a 1000. Or other brand??
needs rider mod...
They sell that on Amazon or eBay?
steal braded breaklines would prob make a huge difference for you
Is this a good first bike or go for a yzf be brutally honest
#3. Brakes: I've change my brake lines to braided lines.... 100% Better!!!
Emissions is why there is no update
It is the only 750 available. I love mine but a ZX10 is going to be next to it in the garage eventually.
Same!!
Dig those rotors 👍
so what if they use the same look, its better than any of the competitors imo
You aren’t wrong at all
Same or identical, him smart.
What year is your bike. I have a 2006 SV650S and looking to upgrade.
2011 and up is the same
if anyone wants one i’m selling mine
Veganbiker.What does that mean?Are you not eating meat while driving a bike?
No
Your front tire is backwards
if you change it,it wouldn't be a gixxer
How do you know if your in the same room as a vegan? They'll tell you..
😂😂😂
yop, nice bike...❤
just copped a 2019 today
mines stock but i’m coming from a GSXS-750 so to me it feels amazing i’m corners!!
That’s sick, ride safe!
What more do you fing want, quit your batching and buy something else.
You clean
😂😂😂😂😂. I’ve got 1991 Gixer 750!!!!! Screw that fI crap😂😂😂😂. Also own a Gixer 1100. ‘92❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
What wheels are those?
I put leds in my k6 1000 was cheap ,only take a few minutes
Definitely gotta do that, esp since it’s so simple
i want a 750
Bros grammar is horrible 🤦🏽♂️ “tremendously more well” “really how fast they actually were”
Jeez 🤦🏽♂️ the young people are screwed. They didn’t pay attention in school.
We’ll get yo old ass off the internet critiquing others! People can make mistakes… especially when talking to a camera!
Where did u get ur quick shifter
Annitori website
cool. but you need better audio
Noted… + it was windy outside so take that into consideration
bro hates all the things I love about it
Why the 750 when theres the 1000…. 😂 you need the 1000 man
1000's are great....if all u do is ride in a straight line.
How much did quick shifter cost
I believe somewhere in between $200-$250.
zero I am my own quick shifter but you kids need to buy one, ask a older rider he can show you how to clutchless upshift free and fast
I can clutchless shift, do on my Harley all the time. But it still doesn’t even come close to having a quickshifter. They’re just better!
I’ll eat a r6 or a 636 with that 750
Me too!
Get you a 1000 .
Soon!🫡
Try fitting mirrors , youl live longer 😂😂😂😂😂
Only one thing need to know is it says GSXR anything it is squid bike.
😂 man I know the stereotype, but it’s some fast ass riders out here who ride gsxrs.
@@TVBCorrupt good for them i.prefer kawasakis over any suzuki.
@@TVBCorrupt stereo type exist based on facts LOL
Most the time GSXR boys actually want to ride fast like really REALLY fast and push the limits and stunt . Alot of ballzie riders....... Not so much standing round drinking rubbish like coffee n beer talking about their bikes instead of riding the bike ......... Ducati boys love a good coffee kwakis love a beer and most of them can't wheelie and never will hahah ..... All the gsxr riders I know ride full leathers 😂 heaps of nonsense folk lore from beer swilling male donkeys at the pub
Them new zx10’s are the shyt!!!
You forgot the 7th thing it’s, the 1000 is better! Wittle weak baby beginer girls gaybike 750! 😂😂😂🤣🌈🌈
I hate that front light. Wish they just copied the K8 models.
Every gsxr rear needs to be raised stop reading forums lmao
What wheels are those?
