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.
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 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!
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 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.
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.
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. ✊️
Bought my GSXR-750 K5 new and it’s my pride and joy. So much fun to ride and even better post ride beer in hand just sitting and looking at it while it’s ticking away as it cools down. This is a keeper…Thanks for the great video. Cheers Marty from Melbourne 🇦🇺
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 💯🏍️👍✊
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.
I bought a crashed 2007 ZX6r as I wanted a winter project to keep me interested. Within 2 months I had it looking like new. Sailed through the MOT. Proud moment 😊
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.
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).
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..
Couldn’t be more happier with my previously damaged 1998 Suzuki Gsx600f, that now stands apart as a reborn stripped out Cafe Racer! It could be argued that previously damaged bikes are better value for money. Good luck with your bike, looks like a good ‘un already!👍
There are very few commentators I pay much attention to but Michael is one of them.. Your review of your long-term test GSXR 750 encouraged me to buy one. I bought it brand-new and it was the very last of the available in the UK at the time in the yellow and black livery. It’s been an absolutely fantastic bike, very reliable, I love it and my purchase decision is because of you doing that review you get to ride thousands of bikes in your career and the fact you were sad at having to take it back to Suzuki UK told me everything I need to know.
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)
Hard to believe i lived in Ramsgate and Deal when i was four and a half years old. Stayed in digs with my mother and father and went to a corner shop called the Cabin where i purchased two lucky bags every day. The landlady was called Mrs Stubbles. Great memories. 😀
As a 750 rider I love seeing videos on them. There aren't many, so this is super exciting to me. Truly one of the best bikes ever made. I love my 2015 I wouldn't trade it for anything including the whole new roster of fancy 1000s. They just lack something the 750 has and it's hard to put it to words.
Well I bought a GSXR750 after your long term test of one in the early 2010’s. Nearly squeezed 210 miles to a tank on a run - albeit at full tuck across Norfolk on an eco run!
Hi Neevesy Your passion for the gixxer makes me want to buy one. I bought a new gsxr 1100 back in 89 but sold it to pay for school. Now being addicted to your tremendous videos i want a new 750 even though i am way to big for one. Thank you for being so inspirational.
It'll come up alright. Not to much damage. I want to see it running in good spirits again. I am tip toing waiting for the next video. Good luck with the process of making it track ready again.
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!
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.
Awesome and excitng to see how this build comes together. I have never ridden a GSX750 but have a few favorite's of my own that i am always building and improving on ( ZX12R x 3 LOL). Keeps us young and busy ( and broke lol) . Love your work everyweek - dont always comment but never miss the weekly rant. Keep them coming
Can’t wait for the updates on this Neevesy! I bought a 2018 gsxr 750 brand new in the Ecstar colours, 8000kms it’s done and still looks like new, unfortunately need to sell it but being my first big bike also is making it difficult to put up for sale 😢
Really pleased for you! Sure you'll have great times on it. Been toying with the idea of getting something from my younger days before I get too old but can't quite figure out what. I never had a GSX R but always admired from afar, so... maybe. Anyway, enjoy building your Gixxersaw puzzle - see what I did there?😉😂
It's really telling how special the bike is when it's the first bike you've owned in 24 years - even knowing all the bikes you've ridden, all your loaners and travelling that you do. I did a similar rebuild with my 954 blade. Looking forward to following along with your build!
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 😊
I grew up with RD350's and FZ750's and GSXs in the late 80's/ early 90's in South Africa. Moved to UK, busy work/family life there did not get much riding in. But recently immegrated to USA and bought a R7.... Despite all the hate it gets I love it for a bit of easy going sport bike fun for a not too leaned over position for 50 year olds... alongside my Triumph Tiger 1050 for touring. But...I am thinking of adding a 4 pot to the garage and 2024 GSX-R750 are still available new in the USA... Tempting.
Great stuff Neevesy, looking forward to the updates, really regretting selling my K4600, now, 22K on the clock but it was mint, sold it way too cheap in the middle of winter : (, sold it as it was hardly used as i was riding my Busa all the time, replaced it with an old Yamaha V Max which........Er........hardly gets used, crazy.
Love seeing it get repaired and looking forward to seeing this project progress. Though I have to agree with bob, surely you repair or replace the exhaust with a nice aftermarket one. Wouldn’t be a proper gixer without a nice sounding pipe.
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 ✌👊
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.
Congratulations Sir and welcome at last!! Only bike ever bought new was a K6 and like a muppet sold it in mint condition years later. Regrets, yes lots. Since tried many bikes but nothing came close. Getting on in years now and in remission from cancer so couldn't resist buying another when I came across a mint 2013 Yoshimura Special Edition with 6k miles. Regrets, NO, one of the best things I've ever done. They’re not just fast and nimble but safe, comfortable, easy to live with and bloody good fun. Thanks for all your great vids. Enjoy your smiles!
I have had lots of different bikes, but I keep coming back to them. Current is a K6 - track/road bike. The 750 for me hits the sweet spot in terms of handling and usable power.
Great Bike great vid. Will look forward to the updates. I had a 750Y, wrote it off, stay safe geezer. Ps your credit score has just gone up 4 selling the scoot!
Just bought a k4 750! My first sports bike… safe to say I’m a little bit nervous to ride it, but super excited to finally get the bike I’ve wanted since I was a teenager (I’m 35). Blessings on your new bike, sir!
I was going to buy the 600 in 2007 when i was 17 and got too scared to ride after a close call on my baby bike i backed out of riding up until 2 years ago got my clx 700 heritage, glad to back on two wheels
Congratulations on your purchase,, I've got a K6GSXR 1000 it's the 5th GSXR from 750 2x 1100s and my 03 now k6 1000 great motorcycle's,, looking forward to seeing this one,, from northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ brilliant stuff 😁
Really great to see the joy this has brought you. I picked up an MV F3 Rosso. In my mind a similar prospect to the GSXR - great handling and more than enough BHP for the road. A joy to see, hear and feel. Looks very similar I think too.
You need to do it before its to late, so well done Micheal...l look back to when l owned a Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans and a Ducati 900 SS bevel drive back in the late seventies. ..(l was in my mid thirties even then)..I'm deep into retirement now so going back isn't really possible.... but it's been a great journey to recall..
I don't know what it is about those older bikes of that era... they're special and give a different type of excitement. I just can't feel that with modern bikes...not sure why really but for me that's how it is.
Back in 1985 I bought a crash damaged Yamaha 650 Turbo. Like yours it came with a box of bits including all the plastic panels. Needed a new frame, but once that was done everything went together well. I kept it for 4 years and did about 20k miles on it. Because I put it together myself it was the bike I’ve most enjoyed owning. Hopefully you’ll find the same with your Gixxer. Have fun 😁
I’ve got a gsxr 750 L3 2013 also in blue and white it almost looks identical to yours but has a yoshi r11 can on it, 13,000ish miles, I love it, had it on the dyno and it’s making 138bhp at the wheel with no tuning👍
Nice one Neevesy! Had my L6 MotoGP edition for 3 years now. Will be nice to see what mods you throw on yours. Would like to do a few bits to mine now. Might see you at Suzuki Live :-)
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!

Brilliant news, you're one of us Neevesy 👍🏻😎 Keep us posted of your journey 🙂
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.
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. ❤
Can we just appreciate how effortlessly Bob handled that GSXR
Exactly

I’m 58 and have a 750 K8 for the last 10yrs and love it
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
Neevesy, they're $12,500 here in the US, brand new. Come over! Ship it back. Thanks for your great, detailed, informative, personal reviews, Sir.
one of the most honest and humble moto reporters... Sincere congrats
Congratulations neevesy enjoy.

I was going to buy the 600 in 2007 when i was 17 and got too scared to ride after a close call on my baby bike i backed out of riding up until 2 years ago got my clx 700 heritage, glad to back on two wheels
Congratulations on your purchase,, I've got a K6GSXR 1000 it's the 5th GSXR from 750 2x 1100s and my 03 now k6 1000 great motorcycle's,, looking forward to seeing this one,, from northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ brilliant stuff 😁
Really great to see the joy this has brought you.
I picked up an MV F3 Rosso. In my mind a similar prospect to the GSXR - great handling and more than enough BHP for the road. A joy to see, hear and feel. Looks very similar I think too.
I wish this episode was 9 hours long!!! cant wait to see this series
Congrats enjoy your new bike. The smile on your face says it all.
You need to do it before its to late, so well done Micheal...l look back to when l owned a Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans and a Ducati 900 SS bevel drive back in the late seventies. ..(l was in my mid thirties even then)..I'm deep into retirement now so going back isn't really possible.... but it's been a great journey to recall..
You are in the presents of two of my great Loves.. the gsxr 750 and the 356 Speedster..(i hope its a real one😃!)
I don't know what it is about those older bikes of that era... they're special and give a different type of excitement. I just can't feel that with modern bikes...not sure why really but for me that's how it is.
Congrats on the purchase mate 👍🏽😎🏍 very happy for you 👍🏽 . I bet you can’t wait for that first ride ! 👍🏽😎🏁
Well played sir. I tell anyone who will listen, if you can find one, buy it. Love my k8 750.❤😂
Back in 1985 I bought a crash damaged Yamaha 650 Turbo. Like yours it came with a box of bits including all the plastic panels. Needed a new frame, but once that was done everything went together well. I kept it for 4 years and did about 20k miles on it. Because I put it together myself it was the bike I’ve most enjoyed owning. Hopefully you’ll find the same with your Gixxer. Have fun 😁
The first "proper" superbike I rode was an '88 GSXR750 J. It is still in my garage and running sweet!
Same here. Great taste!
I’ve got a gsxr 750 L3 2013 also in blue and white it almost looks identical to yours but has a yoshi r11 can on it, 13,000ish miles, I love it, had it on the dyno and it’s making 138bhp at the wheel with no tuning👍
Nice one Neevesy! Had my L6 MotoGP edition for 3 years now. Will be nice to see what mods you throw on yours. Would like to do a few bits to mine now. Might see you at Suzuki Live :-)
Congratulations welcome to the GSXR 750 family
Great video Neevesy, makes me want to go back to my NC30 days… Still loving the Beastie Boys pics in the background.
Congrats Neevesy, looking forward to seeing how it all develops!
