- I've been banging on about how good GSX-R750s are for years. It's about time I finally got one. My new GSX-R750 L4 has been crash damaged and the aim is to get it fixed up in time for Suzuki Live at Cadwell Park on 22/23 June. See you there...hopefully.

I’m not ashamed to say I’m deep into a midlife crisis and just passed my test and got a gsxr 600… 43 years young and loving it !!!!
I had a K4 in my 20’s that I rode all the way from Bristol to the Alps. I’m 40 now and would love another GSXR 600. So much fun without being scary! Used to pop and spit flames from the Yoshimura. Loved it.
I am 68 so my crisis is dragging on some what. 😂😂😂😂
Good on ya. How much was insurance and what area are you from
I have a K5 600 it's my daily with 80 000kms on the clock and it's still going strong. Perfect size and power for me.
They're bulletproof amazing 🤟
i wonder what kind of midlife crisis a biker goes through that has already ridden 1000s....
Great news! You should contact Suzuki to see if they can do you some favours with cheap / free replacement parts. They go out of their way to promote their original parts program & are usually pretty helpful with these sorts of things. Please please make some vids of the restoration! Can't wait.
I’m 61 and have a 2017 GSXR750 and love riding the twisties here in Brisbane will be watching the project with interest
Thank you, sir!

Up old glorious or mount tambourine. Great riding around there
Idk why I find it so satisfying when someone buys a lightly crashed bike and returns it back to old glory for pennies on the bargain? Definitely happy when my bike went down that it’s a naked bike so I needed like 2 parts to get it back looking proper. The downside was that one of the parts that needed replacing was the stator cover so the flatbed laid it down on the opposite side so the oil wouldn’t leak and scraped the frame that would’ve been unscathed if he hadn’t done that.
I can see how happy you are, life can be complicated but when you know what makes you happy it's not that hard. I hope the UK gets a good summer for you to get out and ride a lot!
"everyone needs a Bob" - the most apt saying, we all have one in one way or another our group of friends version is actually called "bill" haha
I remember being on the back of a Suzuki 750 with the old man as a 11 year old passing a line of cars so sweet....
I just bought an L1 GSXR-750 last week, Neevesy! We're bike twins!
Brilliant news, you're one of us Neevesy 👍🏻😎 Keep us posted of your journey 🙂
Nice Neevesy. I have ridden a lot of GSXR 750 and owned a couple. They are truly a great bike. I have myself recently purchased a 2015 Panigale 899 2 weeks ago. This is my first ducati, and it really is a theatrical bike to ride and good when you get it right. But I have to say the GSXR 750 is easier to ride faster on. Enjoy. ✊️
I had a 2011 GSX-R750 and it helped me learn how to work on bikes. It had been crashed via low side more then once similar to your bike. The engine function was perfect so I didn't care that it had a ton of scuffs, broken fairings, shaved down foot pegs. I replaced everything I could with OEM parts. It was very fun getting it all fixed up. I ended up trading it in for a 2023 GSX-R1000 but I wish I kept it to have it along side.
Just turned 60 and still riding my 03 gsxr 750 and keeping up with alot of them newer bikes..You go Neevesy!!😎👊
K5 1000 here. Best content on youtube regarding bikes. Cant describe how much i love Suzukis. When company does something from bottom of em hearth. ❤
Awesome. I love the fact Neevesey isn't slightly worried to buy a crash damaged bike and bring it back to glory.
I did this with a Yamaha R1 4C8. It wasn't crash damaged but just very very neglected. With my very limited skills I stripped it down, deep cleaned every book and cranny (the dirt and grime was unbelievable) and then serviced it and refitted some new parts. Then deep cleaned all the panels and touched in damage.
It looked so awesome when finished.
Can't wait to see the restoration 💯🏍️👍✊
Can we just appreciate how effortlessly Bob handled that GSXR
Exactly
I've had three GSXR 750's over the past 25 years, watching this may change that to four........ Look forward to watching it progress.
Kid in a sweet shop springs to mind 🏁
Move to the US you can buy one new for about $12,000! I have been considering doing so before it’s discontinued.
But we can not put it on EU roads... friend imported one for track days only
Congratulations neevesy enjoy.
I have an L1 had it for 9 years now and it puts a smile on my face and makes me chuckle. 😊
Good for you mate! Enjoy it.
Congrats, enjoy!
Congrats on the new bike neevsy looking forward to watching the build!
Good stuff! Looking forward to see the result.
👏🏼 love the content
I commented on one of your posts about why no one buy one but everyone says how good they are, and here you are buying one!
Congrats.Look forward to see the build take place.
Love new bike day, thanks for sharing!
Brilliant, looking forward to the rebuild.
Recently retired and just bought an SV650 in Canada after a life of disappointment riding Harleys. You need to enjoy the ride now. Impress yourself nobody else.
Congrats Neevesy! What a legend!
After preaching us for years on this channel, about how good GSXR-750 is, now you're going to show us.
For a guy living in Holland, it's pure coincidence that I'm working in Lincolnshire till summer. Look forward to meeting you in person at Cadwell Park if possible.
See you there 👍
I love that you brought one this way. Best of luck with the repairs and cant wait to see you on it flying .
Congrats👍
Great vid , really looking forward to this little series
Congrats Neevesy, looking forward to seeing how it all develops!
Love mine. Congrats
Brilliant. . Good for you Sir . . 👍👍
This is amazing!
Love the 750 content. I have a L3 750 and it is my favorite bike of all time! Best blend of power and handling and can keep up with any modern 1000 for the most part.
Good on you mate,looking forward to the bike build.
Nice bike ! I will enjoy watching the build .
Good luck neevsey 👍
Great stuff ! Cant wait for the next instalment
corrrr. im also excited!
Awesome, really pleased for you, look forward to seeing you with it at Suzuki Live 😊👍🏍️🏁
Thoroughly enjoyed that nee set thank you
Congratulations! Fun project.
Hi. That's awesome. I can't wait to see the followup video. Great job!
I wish this episode was 9 hours long!!! cant wait to see this series
Good job. Got my 2012 4 weeks ago and love it. Can't wait to see your 750 come back together 😊
Congrats enjoy your new bike. The smile on your face says it all.
Hell yeah man!! Welcome to the club 🔥🔥
Welcome brother.
Having ridden practically everything on two wheels that can be ridden, I guess GSX should be honored to be your dream bike.
Congratulations, mr. Neeves!
Loving this content Neevesy! As a longtime GSXR750 fan/owner I understand your excitement and I am really looking forward to seeing your new pride and joy progress. Many thanks for the excellent content.
Cant wait for the next episode....Thank god Bob is there!!!! Brilliant
Congratulations neevesy well deserved I can sense the happiness in your voice, looking forward to seeing the bike come together for you 😊👍🏻
I’m 58 and have a 750 K8 for the last 10yrs and love it
Nice!! Great machine! Happy for you bro! 🫡👍🦾💃🏻🔥💚💚💚
Its always more fun to repair broken things!
Congratulations welcome to the GSXR 750 family
Congratulations, the connoisseur’s choice in sport bikes!!! 🏍️💨
Yes yes and yes. Congrats on your gsx R. Looking forward to the rebuild. Especially 4mm spacer on top of shock.
Loved watching your gsxr recaps over the last few months. Keep it coming.
I knew this would happen, it was just a matter of when! 😄 Can't wait to see the finished item.
Nice work. Having gone through a K5, K7 and finally an L7, I’m finally without a Gixxer in my life but I can see how excited you are to finally have a bike of you’re own. It’s easy to assume you’re living the dream riding the newest bikes in the most amazing locations but there’s nothing like riding your own bike for fun. Now you can officially earn an ASBO and tear up your neighbourhood with your brother..
Congratulations mate, great machines,enjoy it when it gets done
This is amazing bud, I only bought one 2 weeks ago due to your enthusiastic videos. This is gonna be great content for the channel can’t wait 👏
NIce to see the love for @RRCRestoration - look forward to more on this (just bought a Gen 1 SV 650 curvy in the UK and might do a few trackdays when I am there).
Great buy! Congratulations!
Happy days right, like you are meeting with a family member you have always talked great about. Emotional times.
Awesome! Having owned each and every one of these (and destroyed a few during racing). The memories are just priceless.
Congratulations, I hope you'll be very happy together 💕
Best of luck with the new bike. Should be a winner.
Great buy Michael👍
I'm sure it's gonna be a flawless machine once built up.
Cannot wait to see more clips on it!
Very happy for you! That bike deserves to be saved and no better team to do it. Enjoy the process & thanks for documenting for us fans around the world. Cheers to ya ✌👊
Nice 1 great content looking forward to the progress you make I’ve got the 2016 model L6 with the Yoshimura bits going to keep hold of it when ever I hear your love for them 👍
Congrats on the purchase mate 👍🏽😎🏍 very happy for you 👍🏽 . I bet you can’t wait for that first ride ! 👍🏽😎🏁
Nice one Neevesy. Health to ride. 👍
Congrats on your awesome bike. mate 👍
one of the most honest and humble moto reporters... Sincere congrats
Great video mate Iv been watching since 2012 or early 2013 when I was doing my full bike licenses. Showing my age now 🫣🤫 and I’m here supporting you on your own journey doing content for your own TH-cam channel and I’m still loving every minute of your content. Keep up the amazing content.
❤❤❤ love you for that…ive done the same 4 years ago and got my gen 1 busa….no more words
Yes Neevsey! I am think about doing the exact same thing for summer…
Bloody great!
A beautiful machine worthy of true resurrection!
I’m really looking forward to seeing your GSXR come strongly back to life and many future videos of you enjoying the experience 😊
Congrats on your purchase Neevesy I’ve just seen a 2024 advertised or at least a test ride on in nice to see emm still being produced Best o luck with your rebuild lovely bike 🍻👍
Congratulations bro i hope lord bless your properties
I feel justified! After your last vid, i put a deposit down on mint, relatively low mileage L3 with FSH last week. Can't wait 👍🏻 Cheers Neevesy 🍻
I know the blue and white is traditional, but I always lusted after the black and wine red.👍🏻
Great to see despite all the bikes you have ridden and have access to how exited you are about this one. Its that enthusiasm that makes your channel so good. Everytime a gixer 750 passes me on the roads round here (near to you) I will be thinking is that neevsey?
Me too, like the colours of the L1 - I did buy a GSXR 750L Slingshot a few years ago, don't use it very often but have always loved the way they look. 👍
Your smile is everything that's right with owning a motorcycle Neevesy.
Lovely Speedster!
Very nice! Congrats on scoring one of your favorite bikes. Damn it! With all the GSX-R videos I am getting the itch to go out and pick one up here in the states.
Love it 👍
Welcome to the club 😎👍
I started my motorcycling journey just recently and bought all the latest full of gadgets motorcycles in last 3 4 yrs and with time i realised (of course input from this video that) all i needed was gsxr750 😂
I also have a 2014 750 and absolutely love it! I’m 62 & ride street & occasional track days too, fantastic bikes, best of luck with it!
I am looking forward to this project as I, too, own a 2022 GSXR 750. I've been busy upgrading the bike. It's a joy!
I've done 20k miles on an identical 750 since 2020, Wales, Scotland, Peak District, B500, Alps, Pyrenees, Pico's and the Ardennes several times. It has never put a foot wrong. Ventura rear rack and spada bag plus a roll top bag on the pillion seat is all you need to travel the world on a gsx-r750 (oh and heated grips!).
I've added one tooth to the rear sprocket, just to make 1st gear hairpins a little easier, I wouldn't change the gearing any more then that. 17 front & 46 rear (JTR1876.46 & JTS520.17 & DID 525VX 116 Chain)
Best motorcycle content on TH-cam.
Best wishes with the new bike, she doesn't look too bad at all
Subbed for this. Great to see your passion show. And i agree, everyone needs a Bob. 😅
She's in good hands 🙌🏻😎🏍💨
Good luck!
