Turn indicators integrated into mirrors are much more visible to other drivers from a distance compared to tiny indicators the bikes usually have around the fork or bodywork. So in my opinion this is a huge advantage. Regarding the fuel gauge I agree it's a disadvantage. But it's worth mentioning that a fuel indicator on GSXR also has two modes - blinking (less than gallon left) and solid (less than 0.3 gallons left). Hope this is helpful.
lol "I wouldn't trade it in for anything". Next video: I'm selling my GSXR-600
Hahah at the time I thought it was the best bike ever!
Loved my 600 k7, but the things I hated: I went through 2 stators and 3 regulator rectifiers, the mirrors...oh the mirrors. They have plastic nubs that locate them to lock in place, eventually the nubs wear away and the mirrors flap and fold in at higher speeds. Other than that? loved it. Until a 3 ton Volvo wiped me out head on. Oh and one of my bar end weights came off and went through the frame clean...make sure your bar ends aren't huge, otherwise if you drop it? that suckers going through the frame.
This motorcycle channel is my new fave. Love watching your vids man! Ridesafe brother!
Thanks so much man I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I sold my Cbr600rr, and bought a gsxr, best move I’ve made so far. Gsxr’s are nicer and smooth to me
I agree 100% I'd choose a Gixxer over a CBR any day! CBRs just feel boring!
True. Cbr servicing also is a pain... gixxer is much more rideable and fun factor is higher.
Also i ride since 6 3xnational dirt champ. My dad is a suzuki engineer has 2 turbo busas and one fully build k5.
Dont fall for the hype
Gsxr is far more reliable than a cbr.
lie nothing drives like cbr.Its oposite of what you say
@@bobanppvc u dont drive a bike m8. Lets just leave it here... fyi my bike is an original repsol 1000rr since new 2005... a gixxer.is a much superior ride. But i love my cbr to death so i will always keep her for daily commute. But when the soul needs to feel restless and free. I ride my k6 1000. Nuff said
As for reliability enginewise gixxer all the way.
Electronics gixxer all the way
The only thing cbr has over gixxer are superior stopping power and much better geometry. But geometry is the reason bike has prolly 30% less power stock to stock. And raw real beast character of the old 954 blade is gone out of the window long time ago for honda
@@noobslayerr9732 Just bought a '08 gsxr- better than CBR for reals???
Interesting, the built-in blinkers are one of the things I actually enjoy for aesthetic reasons.
I like how much work you put into these videos, great job man. I'm gonna be motovlogging too soon. Just waiting on a mic adapter in the mail!
+Maxim Motorcycles Thanks a lot! Can't wait to see your motovlogs.
Thanks for another entertaining and honest review of your beautiful bike 🏍👍🏻
Thanks for the awesome comments!
I'm thinking about getting the 750 how many miles you think that engine and transmission can last ? 2 of my cousins started on 750s and rode in B mode till they learned the bike and years later they still love it .many people with 1000s go down to the 750s
Bro I was waiting for you to say the mirrors. Indicators are dope but I always end up with one loose mirror. At high speeds it does not stay in position and it sucks. I bought 2 sets and it happened twice. Any suggestions for replacement?
Your bike looks really nice, do you know where i can get 2nd hand head lamps
How often do these rectifier die and how difficult is it to change? Im buying my first sport bike and the gsxr 600/750 is on the shortlist along with the Ducati 848 and yamaha r6.... im leaning towards the gixxer because out of all 3 it feels the most comfortable but I don’t want to be buying something that will spend most of the its weekends out of action. Any advice is much appreciated
I have a 2003 Suzuki gsxr 600 and my rectifier is stationed in the back covered by a fairing now I do not know who's dumbass idea it was to place the rectifier 1 1/2 inch away from the radiator and 1 inch from the engine with no heat sheild .😑😑
lol that’s exactly how mine was! The guy that designed it was clearly distracted by something!
I got a 05 gsxr 600 and as of now the only thing I really hate about it is the clip ons are super low even at the highest adjustment u can put the on because the tank is so big u gotta lay over it to get to the grips. So you gotta buy adjustable clip ons and then if you do that you gotta cut the front shield to clear new clip ons..
Yep, same issue with the fairing. Those two pointy parts are faded on mine cause my knees keep hitting them.
Hurts like hell lol!
Bro I'm watching this today, I'm having trouble making up my mind between a 2007 GSXR6 and 2008 R6. Can you help me? Please
Is ABS necessary and important to you?
My only 2 complaints about mine is the fuel gauge not existing and the way the seat slides me into the tank when braking
Lol that’s a super bike for you the only one that fixes that is a cbr
I actually didn’t even notice it didn’t have a fuel gauge! I’m about to buy a gsxr 600 and that tripped me out 😂
Nice to see a motovlogger who is also from Africa. You still have the GSXR 600? I’m on a 750. 😊
That rectifier issue sounds like a real pain, one would think that suzuki would have had a recall for that part by now.
+AiroRider Apparently they did but this bike never went in and now it's 11 years old...
Chaos Causes is it a garanteed problem? Will every gsxr 03-09 have the problem or is it hit or miss? I'm asking because im thinking of buying a gsxr 750 but I don't want one if I'm replacing RR/Stators every 5k miles. I want a bike that needs no expensive work, and is reliable but the 750 is the perfect performance for my riding needs.
Suzuki’s are known to have poor R/Rs but the 06/07 600 and 750s were the worst for it
Can someone help me figure out what’s wrong with my bike, I have a Video up
What kind of exhaust is that? I'm looking for something like that
That's a Yoshi tri oval.. either slip on or full syst, but rather take a fs bcoz its got titanium headers
hey man, quick question about your gixxer. does it tend to overheat quite often if you're not constantly moving? i just came off my lams and all my lams bikes never had any overheating issues. also is your fuel economy really trash? cheers bro
Yeah that’s sport bikes for you. They need air rushing through them to keep cool and yes my Gixxer used to have terrible fuel consumption and I don’t know why lol
@@ChaosCauses ah alright, that's a relief! Cheers for the reply man, you've put my mind at ease! Subbed 👍
What year honda cbr 600 rrdid you have? Was it the 2007 or newer model? Or 2006 and older ?
I've never owned one but I've had a 2009 in my videos before
If it doesnt have a fuel gauge, how can you tell when your low on gas? Seems like that would be necessary.
Still has a fuel light
Finally! A South African Rider who Vlog!!!!!
Lol yes sir I'm representing!
I got red led strips inside my intakes for the blinkers .. looks sick asf too
How did you do that ?
Your videos are cool nice editing
+termellb Thank you very much!
yes ameazig
I'm dealing with the R/R and stator right now...it sucks.
I feel for you man that was the worst thing!
Are you in Rwanda?
Soo how do you tell when you need fuel ?
fuel light is coming on
Love my gsxr 1000 ! Maby u should move up ?
I think what makes us forgive all the flaws is how fun it is to ride this motorcycle but i have spent so much money on it then what it cost lol
Spot on about the rectifier !! But still love my gixxer
How often do you have to replace it? I'm thinking about getting the 750
Джеррет Нет not sure how often but its best to relocate it rather than risk overheating it coz that is located near the engine and radiator
I always wear my leathers and I love my GSX-R. :D
That's awesome bro they're amazing bikes and I love that you're breaking the stereotype lol!
Is CC the new SnewJ?
+Prahlad Reddy Haha na I'm not big enough! But hopefully Chaos Causes is the future...
Ayeeeeee a South Africa youtuber
I thought the beginning of the video was an add haha
Intro is really creative!
Hahahahahahaha
Thank you for your video!
I have yet to check if mine is charging. I inherited my 600 jixxer from my stepson who is locked up in CA for defending himself with a gun. I know the battery was left for dead for too long, that always ruins it. It is a very exciting motorcycle. After taking it for a spin, I am embarrassed for all the years I spent making my Harley go faster!
+David Lango Hahah at least you've seen the light now so there will be no more years wasted on a Harley.
I HATE intros. I've yet to not fast forward through one. You gave us two of them
Technically there were 3 of them ;)
Cyclecruzas never gets old tho gotta admit. Let's go for a ride!
There's some theory that the first 30% of CZcams videos is content that should be edited out because it has no actual content
you from SA?
Yeah I am!
I never see this bike, in Brazil we Only have srad 750 and 1000 (now GSX 750F and R and GSX 1000F and R)
SRADs are way cooler lol! We have millions of Gixxers in South Africa they're one of the most common bikes.
Chaos Causes cool, I have started in a srad 750 with 18y/o
Which type of yoshi is that?
Yoshimura TRC exhaust
From what I heard its louder than stock but no drone. Do u like it?
It’s much better than stock but not offensive at all. I loved it but I prefer a bit of a louder exhaust.
I'm in the US military and currently stationed in Korea and they dont look out for bikes here so I want an exhaust on my bike that people will be able to here me to keep me more safe but that wont make much drone. Should I get a louder one or this one be great
Cars always heard me coming especially if you give it a rev so it should be perfect
I often go out for a ride in shorts and a hoodie. I'm not condoning it but there's no better feeling on a burning hot day than the wind blasting you to cool you down. If you are that insecure of a rider that you think that every ride you're going to stack it then you shouldn't be riding or at least be wearing full race leathers and a helmet every time you drive your car also.
I agree with you and wha tever there is no motorcycle perfect
+rider rantau That's very true
Chaos Causes prints truth. I have built the perfect motorcycle for myself that suits all my needs. It probably wouldn't work out perfectly for anyone else.
couldn't find way to make the video adequately long so spends first 10 seconds on a weird camera schtick before a 30 second intro to kill more time
I hate the image that gsxr have
Sorry mate I can’t actually make out what your saying 😅
Always best bike
I'll have it if you don't want it
Dude I'm a sad nerd and i ride a k6 600
Lol time for an upgrade I don't miss mine at all!
Why did you sell? Guessing one or more of the above reasons? I'm riding a K6 at the moment. If i was gonna sell it would be cuz of the squishy brakes and alot of brake fade on track. Also bike weirdly feels heavier and lower down than other bikes.
Insurance
Skip the first 60 seconds.
so clean
i totally understand it i would never change my gixxer 600 come check it out on my insta : Ricczuki
do you really have 1 million?
+penguinflopmoto No, CZcams is lying unfortunately
Chaos Causes of take 1 mil 😂👌👏
Your pans are awful. Nice bike tho.
Hahah yeah these were with a photo tripod, making do with what you have is awesome. As much as I agree that they're bad I think you're quite an asshole for trying to make someone feel like shit when they're doing the best they can... think before you comment, you could have changed my whole outlook on what I loved most if you had commented this when I just started.
Chaos Causes awww did my comments hurt your feelings?
