The GSXR1000 K5/K6 was such a peerless machine, that bmw used it as a benchmark for their then newly anticipated S1000RR back in 2008/2009. Suzuki haven't got the engineering evangelism of Honda, the hairy chested performance of kawasaki nor the incredible innovations of Yamaha, but they've made some fantastic motorbikes over the years and their gsx/gsxr air-oil cooled mill's are something to be reckoned with on the drag strip scene!
After 32 years of owning bikes... I have finally purchased my first GSXR!! It’s a ‘98 750 SRAD, totally stock including exhaust, 16k miles..& of course, blue/white.. More than pleased 😊
I'm a Suzuki guy. I had that 50cc when I was a kid in the early 90's. I currently have a 2018 gsxr 1000R. Suzuki has been good to me so I stay loyal to the brand. They might not be the most cutting edge but nobody makes a better engine. That's what a motorcycle is all about. Take care everyone. Long live Suzuki
For my first big bike I've been torn for a while between a GSXR and CBR (600). Gotta say something about Suzuki's I always liked. They seem so Balanced.
@@renegadebikersol2936 I've had my new gsxr for a year now. Absolutely love it as much as day one. That's why I stick with the brand. 0 issues, ultra reliable
@@mike216ism nice. I have to admit my main quarm with Suzuki was the head light. At first I just couldn't get behind that look but it kinda grew on me. Streamlined 😄
@@renegadebikersol2936 I've gotten use to the look over the past, well almost 30 years now. I like the look. In the liter bike category I really only prefer the R1M looks over the gsxr.
my friend has suzuki an 125 (scooter) he has driven it 2 months without oil, (didnt realize it didnt have any) and when he wanted to change oil, he only got 2 drops of oil out, lol... and it still runs fine like nothing happened
This video is pure gold for motorcycle enthusiasts. 👌
Thank you!
Rite on!

I have a 05 gsxr 1000. I started with the 96 750 in my early 20'S. I had a 2002 600 and now in my 40'S I'm enjoying my K5. She is 15 years old but stills runs amazing and looks great. I've been a Suzuki loyalist because they've been loyal to me. I plan on getting a 2019 or 2020. I'm definitely never getting rid of my K5. That bike feels like family to me.
Appreciate the history lesson. Takes me back to the good old days
I feel the same way about my K6 600. It was my first bike and I'll never let her go.
I have the exact same bikes. 96 750 and 05 1000. What a difference there in chassis and power. Would love the 2016 to have 30 years but the 2017 changed in such a great way hard to pass that up.
@@MikeyPraz2121 thats pretty awesome. I had the florescent orange wheels on my 96. My K5 was yellow and black. I now have a 18 in white. All these bikes have been incredible
That's why I keep buying Suzuki
I remember the commotion caused by the '85 GSXR 750 introduction. Every motorcycle magazine raved about it: "A race bike for the street." It was way too expensive for me at the time (probably a good thing). We would drool over one at the dealership, where they never stayed for long. That bike really changed the way we ride and what we expect from a motorcycle.
The FZ 750 could match it in everything but looks, and had a better powerplant.
@@uhtred7860 Yamaha seems to never get as much credit as it deserves for really putting full engineering effort into its whole line of bikes.
Yamaha engines are fantastic. Several automakers have turned to Yamaha to build high performance engines for special models, even Ford.
I'm not a cruiser guy but a friend had me ride his Stratoliner. Huge V-twin cruiser so I expected loud, shaky and clunky. Nope. The bike was actually a joy to ride. Smooth, handled well, and had the Mother of all Torques. Years later he still rides it, never having had a mechanical problem.
@@Miata822 Yeah Yamaha seem to be a bit more innovative than the other 3 Japanese factories, The heads on my cars engine were designed by Yamaha for Lexus/Toyota.
@@uhtred7860 A guy who worked with me had a Ford (Thunderbird SHO?) with a supercharged Yamaha V6. It was an amazing car.
@@Miata822 Yeah ive heard of them, we never got them in my country (NZ) due to Ford Australia making the locally designed and built Falcon. Toyotas first real sports car, the 1967 GT2000s engine was developed by Yamaha, specifically the alloy DOHC head, at the same time they were developing the XS650, they share the same bore and stroke so its no coincidence that 3 XS 650 twins equals 2 litres. :-)
The K5 1000 absolutely dominated every production based race series in the world. By far their best package of all time and remained on top unchanged in 2006. When the K7 came out Mat Mladin wanted his K5 back.
Matt was right!! K5 series ...best ever.
K6 for 600 and 750
K5 for 1000s 👍 best of the modern Gixxers
No in 2006 the little 750 was the SUPERBIKE OF THE YEAR! drag out those old cycle world articles
1000 K5 is my favorite for sure, and my absolute dreambike.. I have to own one at some point
Hi have the K6 1000, it is an absolute beast, I love it
My first bike ever was a 97 Gsxr-750, loved that bike. I was going to buy a 600, but found the 750 at a great price, and thought why not.
mine too!
I just got my third GSXR, a 750 this time after having K3 and K6 1000s. Thanks so much for putting this video together, really enjoyed it 🙏😎
The 2008 gsxr design was also my favorite it's the best looking
This is one of the most well made TH-cam videos I have seen in a LONG time. I am not a Suzuki fan but I just couldn’t stop watching this video. Love your videos man and keep up the great work.
Absolutely amazing. HeroRR puts out top tier videos!
So excellent to see the history of the bikes we know and love presented like this! Thanks HeroRR!
Thank you for the video. I'm the PROUD owner of 2, GSXR1100W. A WP, and a WR, meaning a 1993 and a 1994. Toads by today's performance standard, but epic bikes nonetheless. I just happen to LOVE carburetors, and the more upright riding position. I'm a bigger guy, so I too love the larger overall size of the bike compared to the new ones. 1 I have in naked what I'll call street fighter version, similar to the big TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE, although I do run the front fairing, just no sides, or chin. She even has a all stainless YOSHIMURA 4-2-1 exhaust. I freshened up the top end, all COMETIC Gaskets, and of course a APE Manual Cam Chain Tensioner. The other was victim to the Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner, who failed the previous owner, which is how I purchased the bike. The cases are fine, but the cam chain is somewhat wrapped around the crankshaft cam sproket. This 1 will eventually get a big bore kit, and cams, and headwork, balance and blueprint, and of course a APE TENSIONER, all work performed in my shop. AWESOME video thank you very much 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍
I'm stoked! Cant wait!
I'd get the GSX-R because of the 750 engine. It's the perfect balance of power, size, revs, and most of all fun.
Hope you make it 1,000,000 with these videos sir.
Nice touch adding the kg values as an overlay, thank you, much appreciated!!!
you are really killing it with the history videos man, keep going!
Great Blessing for HeroRR for making this video , thanks man , it takes a time to do the commentating and putting the pictures in the video , thanks HeroRR ❤🤘
Wow! Great job! I can see that you put a whole lot of work into that at it is all appreciated.
I love the 750. When I was young that was the preferred racing size.
Wow! We watched the whole thing. Can't even begin to imagine how much work this video took. Well done, sir! 👏 👍
Great video. I've lived through the life of the Gixxer, and it triggered some great old memories.
The GSXR really did make a name in 80s. I remember the early 90s being a bad time for the overweight bikes. The 1100 was slow to die, but I remember people putting the engine in 750s, creating a GSXR7/11.
When the SRAD bikes appeared in '96, it really seemed like Suzuki made a big jump to get back on track. The hooligan's bike was back.
I had a ´87 750, it was insane.
Only air/oil cooled, great brakes and suspension, it was way of the competitors.
What I liked very much was the high tank, it felt more like sitting in than on the bike.
Never had this connection to a bike again.
You have my sub! This was amazing. I love long form videos. Shorter videos are fine for small bits of information, but I'd rather watch something like this than most sitcoms or pretty much anything on regular TV. Great stuff.
Dude this is good, I like the music in the background too it’s just nice to listen to and see
This is the best motorcycle history video I have ever seen! Great job!
I still love my 1995 GSXR-1100 just as much as the day I picked up new from my local dealership! I’ll never part with it and it’s still a blast to ride!
Looks brand new to this day!
Aren't you getting a little old to be scrunched up on that thing?! I'm probably older than you; defo not a Spring Chicken, and have had a lot of bikes. Was at the local Bike Nite around 2002 and a younger friend wanted me to ride his late model yellow GSXR750. I killed the motor at every light, with the lack of torque, until getting out to a stretch of I-35 and then it scared the crap out of me! I hit about 140 in no time. Later bought a 1993 750, purple / black, looked great, price was right, but it was the most uncomfortable bike I ever rode outside of a buddy's Ducati 996S. Enjoy your 1100, they are getting collectable now.
@@captainamerica9353 I’m starting to feel the pains now that I’ve only got a year left in my 40’s!! I’ll still never part w it, my TL1000R, nor my Gen Hayabusa!
I love my HD’s but I won’t part w my sport bikes regardless I f age….the bikes or mine!!!😂
You make some of the best motorcycle videos on TH-cam. You and Yammie were instrumental in influencing me to begin riding in 2018.
Fortnine: am I joke to you?
dude you are awesome for making,editing and uploading these moto educational videos keep it up !!!
Awesome video mate. Really informative. As a gsxr rider since 97 I learned a lot. Favorite inclusion was the super cool 50cc that I never knew existed. I want one.
thanks for this superb video! awsome work!
and thanks for adding the kg translation
all the best wishes from germany. have a nice season 2019
Great job on the history of the the GSXR, a great resource. I bought an GSXR750 (vin said December 1985 which made it an 86') that had been totaled and turned it into my race bike. I club raced that bike at Firebird Raceway outside Phx from late 1986 until early 1989 when family commitments made it impossible to afford my racing. I've missed that bike the rest of my life and have fond memories. I saw my first GSXR while working in the oilfields is SE Asia. Saw a GSXR-400 on the streets in Singapore, was the same red-silver-black livery as my eventual racer and was hooked.
Great video Hero. Looking forward to another history lesson or a vlog with the RC51 haha
Love watching this kind of evolution of bike videos. Makes me want to upgrade when I dont need to.
Awesome video, I picked up an 03 gsxr1000 last month that was salvaged , had an 8 inch stretch, lowered, MX bars, no fairings but I brought it back to oem and am doing a track day with it next month !
Thanks for this history insight on the GSXR :)
Great video brother. I’ve loved the gsxr since I was a kid(37now) and this was very cool to see the actual history in one video.
Great vid herro, a loved every bit of it, been a fan for a while now keep them coming💯.a Big thumbs up from me all the way from Scotland 🏴
I had a K6 750. and it was amazing.. Love cornering with .... Great Video.
A great video mate. Hats off to you.
Hope more like this to come
With the music and tempo of pauses in speech you nailed it
Gsxr with small engine displacements are still awesome! Congratulations to you for reaching 100k subscribers!!🔥
Really well explained, done justice to the GSXR lineup and fans.
Amazing GSXR history video. Great job. Fan from Europe.
I hope they return the 400 to compete with the Ninja 400.
Better be an inline 4 too. Sick of almost every bike under 600cc being a 2 cylinder
Nihaha...It's because these manufacturers treat those bikes as 'learner' and 'disposable' so they don't bother. What a bad reason
@@ruikazane5123 whats a bad reason?
Desantos123 Obvious! They don't expect, and want you to hold on a smaller displacement bike! That is the bad reason. All for $.
If they made under 600cc bikes in-line 4s they would be a lot more expensive than most people would want to pay and just give people another thing to complain about.
Not just under 600cc, i was considering a SV650 until i looked up specs and saw it only had around 60-70hp while similar year 600's were in the 100-112 hp range....
The K5 is a holy grail bile in my opinion. When its all said and done. It will go down as one of the best all time.
Absolutely. 750 of course...
Just given my K5 some love after owning it from new. Formerlly black/yellow, she now sports a matt black wrap. Looks like a completely new bike and I've fallen in love again! Also, new ASV black levers and a Black Widdow can.
I want to thank you for a great job! Though I've been fan of Suzuki bikes (though I ride a Ducati now) I always wanted a GSX-R but never got to own one! But I can always find used ones available! Thanks again and congrats on hitting past the 100K mark!
Cracking vid m8 my fav is the K7 600 and ur cbr 600. Keep up the good work
Hey man, I owned one of those 150's for a month when I was in the Philippines. It was great. Those things only weigh about 285 lbs. They corner like you can't believe. The front wheel actually pops up sometimes because they are so light. Slipper clutch, gear indicator. Extremely fun bike.
Very interesting history. I had a GSR600 (2010) with a superceded GSXR600 motor in it. Loved that bike and now ride a more touring GSX650F. Suzukis are awesome fun!
I recently bought the 600cc version of the 2018 GSXR you have during the opening.
It's an amazing bike!!!!
Super documentation! Thanx...
I own a Honda SC59, but I've always kept an eye on the GSX-R 1000. Especially the K5/K6 and the K7/K8. Back then, the K5/K6 created a new performance class. And the K7/K8 just looked outrageously good with the narrow, diamond-shaped headlights. In 2021 I will buy a motorcycle exclusively for the Nürburgring. And it will very likely be a Suzuki GSX-R.
Thabks for the vid bow i can learn which is the best gsxr to buy! Thank you Hero RR!
This video was Superb. Watched the Whole thing, and plan on watching it again, to do my own research. Thank you for the info and Dedication to riders. No matter wat style we ride. I own a 2002 GSX-R1000. Had a GSX-R650, but that was totaled and I walked away with ONLY 13 stitches. Now I KNOW wat disrespect Feels like first hand. Lol. Thanks again for taking the time out.
Great video you have a real talent for making these. Keep up the good work 😁👍🏻
I have a GSXR 1000 k7, easily the scariest bike I have ever owned, truly amazing but commands respect. Fantastic vid HeroRR
I like how you used the same music from the Hayabusa video. And thanks for another great history video
Amazing video, clearly presented, impeccably researched. I loved every second.
Thank you!
THX for an awesome history lesson, I found it particularly interesting as the GSXR 750 is my dream bike and in my own personal opinion 2008 are such a beautiful bike that none can hold a candle to :-) Keep up the great content/work you are doing, it is very much appreciated.
Me too, just enough power and torque!!
thanks for this video! I do like that you included the 125-150 since in "other" markets that is the bike you CAN buy...
Nice video! I believe 2018 actually brought a small update to the 1000, namely the discs were changed to reduce/eliminate the brake fade issues on the 2017. You can see this by the change in the floating bobbins that changed and had some slotted connections rather than just the standard circular bobbins. Really enjoyed this video though!
Awesome video I had a 1988 GSXR600 my favorite bike to this day and I will have another one
Thank you so much 😊.. amazing video, awaiting more from you
Deserves a Big Like, please make videos of the Rg gp bikes, and the GSX-S street bikes, thank you, man.
As a the owner of a 2008 Suzuki Gsxr k8, I appreciate the hardwork and research you put into this video love your content.🔥😎
Home Run Hero! 750 Gang 💪🏾
I bought a new 1991 gsxr 750, the white and blue one. I had it for 6 months and got rear ended at the mid night drags and the bike got totaled. That bike was a wheelie machine! I wish they would go back to the double headlights and the 91 paint scheme. Thanks for the video!
I like how you continue to use the same catchy music in every video in this series, it makes the series feel more uniform. Well done.
Thank You for Your video and the researched information it provided
Plus I just actually resonatley run into your videos and I am actually just very much enjoying them
Great video dude thank you, been waiting for a quiet time to sit and enjoy it. Had an 85 GSXR 750. Loved that bike, it was completely original. Sold it for £850 about ten years ago. Stupid decision........
Glad YT let me find this, instantly subscribed brother!
Loving the track clips at Caldwell park! I love this track. Been on bike and in a friends race car. It’s brilliant no wonder it’s known as the uk’s mini nordscliefe
Really looking forward to this!
Damn this was the FULL history! I'm mad at myself that I missed the premiere but great work hero!
Except so much about the 1100s was wrong.
Great job buddy really enjoyed it
This is a great video lots of detail thank you
I have a 2000 srad 600 in Barry Sheene Texaco Heron livery and absolutely love it, it has more ‘character ‘ than todays same old, same old models.
How do you only have 116k (as if that's a small amount) subs with this sort of quality content? Like the effort you put into these is insane
Thanks for making this informative video review 👍🏻
Amazing, the thing i want is you keep making these video its very intertainig
T hx♥️♥️♥️♥️
We got the 84 GSX-R 400 here in NZ, i remember racing against them in Production Racing on my RZ350.
this was nicely put together.
Excellent documentary.
Best history of GSXR. Kindly also post a video on the legends of Suzuki in 2 strokes such as the GT series from 50 to 750 until 1980s. Thanks.
I have a 1994 gsxr1100. Even today it is a great bike with a lot of power.
Perfect explanation, I love you man!
I had a 400 for a few months back in '91; absolutely insanely good handling.
very nice and clear presentation , it's worth of waiting.... thanks , salute, bravo....
It was well worth the wait...🔥
Amazing work
Love my 06 gsxr. Looks just as good as a brand new one. The design has barely changed. Which means Suzuki is smart enough not to fix what aint broken
Well researched and produced video 👍 bravo
When you have to set down your calculus work and pop in earbuds in the middle of class to watch it asap
Thanks Isaac :)
In my country indonesia suzuki gave us gsx-r150 which is the fastest 150cc sport bike beat honda cbr150rr and yamaha r15. But still on market share suzuki get the last .. (sorry my english😁)
Well done. Enjoyed watching your video.
Love your "History of ..." videos! If you ever get bored if would be cool to see one covering the YAMAHA Seca II/Dimension/XJ600/XJ900 series bikes.
My father had the 1994 gray/pink model(15:01)...still find it beautiful today....sad he sold it
