45 years a go, Japanese manufacturers/riders made a answer (750 is best balance on the street)
It is unchanged as of today.
That’s not why. Harley Davidson cried to daddy Raegan because they were getting spanked by Japanese manufacturers. Instead of forcing HD to compete, Raegan placed a nearly 50% tariff on imported bikes over 750cc to protect HD’s core market. Problem is, the Japanese manufacturers just made those

Except its slow....
"What is a 750?" In my honest opinion and assessment; it is the "Goldilocks" zone for motorcycles.
Just as nimble and flickable as a 600, more useable on the streets than a 1000; still has more than enough beans to scare the stupid out of you, but won't leave you wanting for sauce either.
The GSX-R 750 is THE BIKE that "started it all" for modern "crotch rockets", whatever super sport street bike you own/love/ride...you owe a debt of gratitude to the GSX-R 750. All the insanity and ridiculous horsepower and otherworldly chassis wouldn't be where they are today without it. Like em, love em, take em or leave em....the Gixxer is the reason all other super sports exist.
Back in the day 750cc was the most predominant displacement class in sport bike racing (bit of a different animal than the Moto-GP we know and love today).
Well said Sir.
Also the Bike known for whopping sports cars butt

Wow didn't know that thanks!
750...125hp 1000..185+ hp....yea thats pretty close 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, the 16 gsxr1000 is very comfortable. I can ride it all day and not feel it. I had the R1 prior to it and that thing felt like torture after 45 minutes. Don't lane split, assume everyone is trying to hit you, wear your gear, stay sober, don't let bad drivers get you upset/emotional and you'll increase your odds of staying alive.
+Aaron Seitz that's some wisdom for all you young riders out there.
Thank god lane filtering is legal in my home state. I just upgraded from a 20hp 250cc trail bike to this beauty and it is so effortless to ride.
Thanks for the positive advise. I live close to a "Religious Community" where only the men can drive, long beard and only wear black clothing. I had to get myself a camera and now thinking of carrying protective device. They tailgate you, cut you off, slam on the brake and I honestly think they're out to cause harm.
Shoot em
But for those 45 mins u got all the agillity a bike can give..
i have to disagree, i have owned all 3 600,750 and 1000. i have returned to riding after a 12yr break and my choice was the 750. faster than all 600s, more flick able than any 1000 and comfortable to ride. Personally i dont like liter bikes for the road but thats just me.
Love it when ppl make up some bs just to have an opinion on the matter. It doesn’t matter wtf you buy theyr dimensionally literally like 1” different in height and length and width. About 15lbs diffent total from 600 to 1000. So buy the 1000 then just say “im just learning to ride” or “im not good in the corners” rather than make excuses why why you suck at riding rather than justify why you are smart or responsible. Keep the thing in the lowest power setting if you are worried about “killing yourself on a one thousand”. It’s like a v6 Camaro because the “insurance is ridiculous on an ss” or because the “dude the v6 is still quick as $hit” nobody cares you lost us at no its a v6. So dont start spouting bs like the 10$ per fill up is gonna break you when you just bought a 30K car or its lighter and more nimble in and out of traffic or im short so i can reach the pedals easier in the v6 its all just garbage. If you like the taste of Diet Coke over regular than by all means but your logic is flawed if you get fries and a double cheeseburger and then go Diet for health reasons maybe just buy a maxima and eat a salad. Buy a 650 touring bike then ride through town with your feet on the rear passenger pegs when your friends see you so they’ll think its “one of those fast ones you lay down to ride” the ones you feel the need to explain you justification for buying a 750 to aren’t buying it. The rotating mass of the litter compared to 600 to somebody that can’t ride isn’t a factor. The 750 is not a touring bike. The 6 and 750 ar both more exhausting to ride around town because the nearly non existent low end torque Especially in the around town range makes them feel extremely sluggish and lethargic compared to the 1000. That’s probably the most looked over difference of the 3. Im 6th gear at 55 I don’t have to shift down to eat a car it just grunts and moves.
@@J.D.Shelnutt dam u deff don't have a wife u took it up the ass bro lmfaoo super dum response
Literally never had a 600 that could hang with my 750 & I’m not even some super good rider 😂
Yea i was on one the day i posted that. I had all three and there all a blast no doubt all you need on the street but the grunt of the 1000 is on another level only 1/4 more cc but feels like about 3/4 more powerful on the bottom end the timing at low revs is retarded from factory in the first few gears so mine was mapped with a pc filter and pipe and for wat it was worth hotter plugs. It was unnecessary but i would buy 5 gallons of 110 and add a half gallon per fill up just for the smell
Love my 15 750.
My wife has a 15 GSXR 750 and I have a 17 GSXR 1000. It's actually nice to ride the 750 once in a while it definitely is more nimble. But damn that gsxr 1000 Power Band! You can definitely tell a difference. 750 is a perfect bike for the in-between.
Just cough! Get it out damn it lol
Couldn't watch after 10 and a half mins.....still trying to clear throat, thats enough for today.

What’s the difference if any in the 2011 600 vs 2017 / 2018 750?
Thanks for your videos, looking at upgrading from the 600 11.
Love my 11 GSX-R 750 ! Awesome bike !!! Thanks for the verse !!
What do you think about the Kawasaki Z900 vs the Yamaha FZ-09 ? I'm thinking about adding a bike to the garage with similar power. But more upright for longer trips. I've also been thinking about a Honda VFR 750/800 or possibly
A BMW touring bike like a K1200RT or 1100. I like the bags and the fairings. What are your thoughts ? Thanks brother
Awsome! Enjoyed this video.... helped me make my decision...keep up the good work mate :)
Amen brother. I appreciate you spreading that knowledge
great stuff man i like bikers like you keep the faith
Just curious what gear ratio did you run on your 600s
Do you have a link to the go pro mount on your helmet?
More importantly ! How do you wheelie that bike? I can wheelie my TS125R and DT 175 but I cannot properly wheelie my K7 750. Cannot work out what I am doing wrong!
In my opinion they all feel the same until you get on the gas. Weight difference is not that much. 1000’s are super easy to wheelie. 600’s and 750’s you have to bounce it and clutch it at the same time to bring it up. It comes down to do you want a civic or a corvette. Street driving 1000 is the way to go. You don’t always have to down shift to pass or to merge on the freeway. Has good power when you have a passenger. 600’s save gas and are fun in the canyons. I stopped riding though because people really don’t care about others on the road. They’re too consumed by Instagram than eyes on the road.
had to do a wheelie he's on a gsxr
I have 88,000 miles on my GSX750R, bought it with zero miles brand new. Still love it! Only thing is the shift sensor keeps wearing out every 30,000 miles.
Do you clean or replace the sensor
how many miles is on it now😂
@@Owen-cy2jr 😂
Bro this wisdom quote was awesome, coolest thing I've seen for a bike vlog man thanks
The 600 and 750 also have different throttle bodies and the airbox besides the motor and ecu.
First thing a 750 is a big difference between a 600 trust me I've had both.. And us British don't mod our bikes?? Maybe you should visit UK and see for yourself buddy 😂
no it's not I smoke a 750 with my f4i
cbr 600 rr Chevy Tahoe LT I’m sure you do Timmy
Not really. Seen a many 750s get beat by 600s. 150cc is mute difference.
Looks like somebody didn't read the bible quote.
The 750 has over 30 hp more than 600s and oh yeah allot more mid range torq u thick fucks
I just can't imagine changing bikes ffom my GSXR 1000. I love the thing so much that I haven't even touched my Harley since I got the GSXR
No kidding lol
I bought a k8 750 after watching this, I’ve since added -1,+2 sprockets, the things a beast if I give a good twist, very satisfying especially since I was interested in changing for a z1000, but after changing the gearing I have no want to upgrade to a bigger bike
You in Lancaster pa? I'm from york
Sportbikes: 1000 (lots of torque but too much for the twisties), 600 (great for twisties but down on torque), 750 (good compromise between the two). Also, since the usable rev range of a 600 is so wide, the power delivery is more gradual and linear. The 1000 has a narrower rev range so the power comes on more abruptly. Again the 750 is a good compromise between the two. Many people have 1000s, many people have 600s, few people have 750s. The insurance on a 750 is likely lower than on a 1000. The weight of a 750 is very close to that of a 600 but substantially less than that of a 1000. The cost of a good used 750 is usually about $1000 to $2000 lower than that of a good used 1000.
6 good reasons to get a 750.
David James best comment I've read nice way to break it down
Thanks.
what make is the Hi Viz Jacket?
My mates just stuck a gixer 1000 engine in his 750 srad. A bit of work needed but it's a great sleeper now.
Enjoyed your channel and scripture! Subd! Bell! And liked!!
I might be buying a 2017 gsxr 750. It will be my second bike after my 400 Yamaha dt. Can't wait to see if it happens. Can't believe I am being financed and that my wife is coming around to the idea. I am 55 almost 56.
Nice. I just turned 48. Just can't seem to get off my sportbikes. Love my GsxR 750!!!!
Send it
I came off an R1 and now have a gixxer 750 and love it. I'm 40 and I don't miss the r1 at all. This 750 is the best bike I've ever owned, you'll love it if you haven't got one already.
Do you have a summer cold dude?
Sorry. They are all Spanish guys winning moto GP.... even 2017
So if your whole argument was that changing the sprockets on a 600 made it faster than a 750, well what if you ALSO changed the sprockets on a 750? The 750 would be even faster.
Plus, why would you want to change sprockets on anything other than a stunt bike and lose all that top end?
U need some boots man
Idc how much hate I get but you’re definitely one of my favorite motovlogers, I am an atheist but that’s neither here nor there
Idc?
Me too bro
i love the pass button dude , right there forme to give a car a quick couple flashes if they are doing something dumb , or if im doing something dumb like coming up behind them over 150 mph...its like hi im here btw
What about the torque difference?
I NEED A LINK FOR THE JACKET.
Went from 600 to 1000 love em both love the 1000cc power is amazing
What jacket is that!?
I thought the point of 750 over 600 was the extra low-end torque which is nice for daily riding (without adding the +40 lbs of a liter bike). I got the Triumph 765 for even more low-end torque from the triple arrangement, again with no care about the top end ... it's way too fast for this weekend warrior already. Gixxer 750 is a beauty though!
Respectably
750 is a good mid weight commuter/fun bike
600 is a good starter bike though does depend heavily on maturity
400-600 is starter range though
Noticed the view in the mirrors are better than on my k3, my arms are always in the way.
As for the pull to one wheel on acceleration my 600 is over keen doing it. Still puts a grin on my face. No point in a ltr bike with the commute traffic in my city
Hey! How tall are you? Im a taller rider myself and looking for a bike
Also don't forget the 750 was Suzuki's first sportsbike. The 600 was designed from it.
Yamaha actually made a YZF-750 in the late 80's early 90's. Scott Russell used to race it. They also made a race only R7. Honda made VFR 750's starting in the 80's with the Interceptor (V4 though) followed by the sport touring VFR. Kawasaki made a ZX-7E, ZX-7R, & ZX-7RR....but the original was the GSX-R 750 from the early 80's. All great bikes! My heart though skips a beat for my Gixxer 750!
A 1k is god speed. A 750 is super quick. A 600 is still fast but 750s leave busses on them. My 750 is built. Bigger pistons, raised compression and steep sprockets for drag racing. -1 +4, ecu flash header etc.. My 750 hAs shit on every year and make 600, 636, and zx750. No competition on the straights and my bike only tops out 161 redlined cuz the sprockets. Just my 2 cents.
1985 gsxr-750 was the first super sport style road bike, read some history before u talk about a subject. its actually quite interesting how sport bikes have gotten to where they are today.
Love the Bible verses God bless you man

@@findme2040 haha beat me to it!
um gsxr 750 tops out at 180+mph same as the 1000's 180+mph but the 600 at 160+mph just another thing to have in mind
A 750 takes 20+ more seconds to reach top speed than a 1000..will leave a 750 a mile back if racing top end.
Your video is a sign, I've been looking at the helmet he is wearing for a while because of the transitions and sena mount.
how tall are you?
Midas the 750 will flat out pull on the 600's
@Bunnyshooter 223 140 is correct because the Yamaha mt 10 will only do 150, and that's the R1 motor retuned of course!
@@germanengineering204 so a gsxr 750 isn’t much faster than a 600?
@@nate.hanlon correct!
750s are faster but not even close to a 1000
2012 suski 750r with a power module no 600 has touched me I do also have a chain and sprockets
I currently have a Harley-Davidson dragged out Fatboy, a Ninja 650, but I primarily ride my GSXR 1000. The other day I was looking at the fat boy and the GSXR 750 Motor sitting next to it and a light bulb went off in my head you might think it's a stupid one. But I think my next bike I'm going to build it's going to be a dragged out Fatboy kind of looking thing like the one I got but with my extra GSXR 750 motor in it. I also have a Katana 600 motor wondering if that's compatible with a GSXRs
How tall are you?
Sorry but the difference in power between a 750 and a 600 is def not the case of some mild mods to a 600. That kinda talk may impress some squids but not those who have owned both. Maybe if you actually did some track work on both instead of just popping the wheel up on some straight road every now and then
you'd understand.
True there is like a 25Hp difference so just changing the exhaust is not going to get that and since when did changing a sprocket give you more power ? more torque on the 750 as well. They make both for a reason.
Exactly, this squid doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.
Karl Walters i think any 600 would spank his 750 just because he is driving it lol Id race this guy on cbr500 as long as there were some curves in the road to make it count. Lol
He is too busy reading the Bible to learn to wheelie
This guy has no clue what he is talking about and literally taking words from his ass ... which explains his lame one hand riding
And stock to stock the 750 will hang all day with a 1000 cant say that about the 600
Yah thats wrong
Till about 90 and the 1000 will pull a modded 750 is another story and I’m taking newer 1000s too
A 750 is a joke compared to 1000s..125hp vs 190hp🤣🤣🤣

Can you swap out a 1000 and a 750
The power to weight ratio on the 750 is much better than the 600. it is a 600 frame and running gear with a 750cc motor in it. if you spend the money and mod it correctly you are going to be moving right there with the liter bike's. If you know how to ride you'll be eating up the liter bike's.
Robert willhoyt straight facts dude the power to weight ratio and gearing is more than substantial enough to eat liter bikes alive on the track
i thought this video was really annoying. the fact he compared modding a 600cc to a stock 750 was stupid. if you do the same stuff to the 750 guesss what... you got a liter bike than a 1k and close to the same speed... after doing lots and lots of research im fully convinced to get a GSX-R, ive always been a Honda guy but the new gsxr 1k is supposed to be even better than the first gen BMW 1000rr, thats an amazing accomplishment, its based on opinion but of riders i trust (44 teeth did an episode on it)
only thing to wonder about is if i want a 1000 or the 750. i kinda just love the 750, its got so much heritage and its the perfect mix imo, its not overbearing on power or too heavy and it can be pushed without having to wring it out to redline. that to me makes it the best choice for a street bike.
The latter is the existence I live in know
The clearing of the throat kinda sounds like a huge turbo after you shift😂 thought it was funny how you brought up making bike noises and I felt like your coughing even made noise that could come from a bike
curious where are your shots taken?
Nice bike.. I have the same one, switching from my zx10 was a big difference
How was it? I just lost my ZX10 to a wreck (car wasn’t paying attention) and now I’m considering a 750
@@wes276 it's definitely a noticeable difference, especially as far as comfort level on long rides. but it's a great bike. Way lighter and acceleration isn't as smooth as the zx10
@@Ray-uv4sk oh ok cool. I had a 2004 ZX10, acceleration was smooth but could really take off. So which one was more comfortable on long rides, the ZX10 or the 750? I’m also 5’8
@@wes276 I'm 6'2 so I'd say my 04 zx10 was more comfortable on the long rides, but the 750 is a good bike overall. They don't make the Suzuki bodies like they used to. My buddy has a 08 1000 and it's the same size as the zx10 and he as an 07 750 and the body on his is wider than the 2017 I have
I own a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa and a 2007 GSXR 600 and a Victory King Pin . The 600 is geared, piped, power commander, and quick throttle jawn. I seriously like the 600 more on my days. "Learners bike"? ehh dunno about that. She's flickabke and soo much fun. The Hayabusa is just an insane monster on the straightaways.
HI had the 750 K2 , read about a od where you could get the gsxr 1000 k3 titanium exhaust and fit it to the k2 with a few spacers on the fairings , i had a K&N filer with , power commander and straight through suzuki tl1000 carbon end can sounded mint and growled at ya. it mad 126 on the dyno and my mates r1 made 131 . the dyno guy was impressed with my results he said for a 750 that's got a lot of power , none of my friends could keep up two up with me on the r1s and cbr 1000's when the playing field was leveled with passengers. goes to show good bike with a good rider can beat most other bikes on the road if ridden properly to its potential . I was all weather rider work and leasure biker my only transport rain snow or sunshine, my friends where all sunny weekend riders and dint go out with partner al the time like i did on the back with me but when they took their partners out i made sure the gixxer came o0ut on top , not even taking risks just good safe fast road riding maybe 70-90% .
my advice to anyone who wants to ride and stay alive is to get a gixxer 750 best of both worlds and can be tuned to give an extra 10 15 at the wheel especially with the 1000 headers give it more room to scream and breath more, and i did screem there was only one other bike comparable to my bike for exhaust sound and loudness and it was a Kawasaki 1300 or 1400 sports bike made to compete with the Hayabusa . this was 20 years ago i had the k2 from 2004 ish for roughly 5-6 years and never felt the need to go higher it was everything in a bike you could ask for, and a forgiving bike.
I have always loved the GSXR750, If I were to buy one faster than a 636 I would get the GSXR750 over the 1000 because it is lighter weight and still very powerful. Love them, no need for a 1000 for me any way.
My K6 750 and K5 1000 differed 3kg dry and 9kg wet
Now, the biggest difference: My K6 was no slouch, but most of it is top end power, the 1000 otoh is power the moment the clutch is fully engaged
The handling characteristics between the 2 are the same, but it's the power characteristics which are worlds apart
And this coming from a guy who rode the K6 12.5 years
All this might be different (or better said: more equal) with newer bikes, thanks to their advanced FI and driver AIDS (Pun intended)
Keep going with the Bible verses dude. Love it!
I hope you are under estimating the 750. I'm debating a 750 and a 1000 for my next bike. I much prefer the low insurance of a 750 compared to a 1000.
phatrides222000 750 is my fav bike. Im usually at the front of the pack even with liter bikes. They do pull away from me a little on the highway but to be honest 95% at those speeds all you need to do is keep that wrist twisted I guaranteed you the guy on the 1000 will let off before hes 50ft ahead of you. You will never fall behind. Also the 750 handles great in the twisties. In my opinion it corners better the a 1000 but that might just be because Im pretty light at 155lbs. I wouldnt trade my 750 for anything other then a new 750
I keep up with 1000's in the twisties all day long on my 600. I like the low end power of a 1000. My fz09 has spoiled me.
750 is the best of both worlds... handles as well as a 600 but has more usable power and can scare a little bike in the right hands. I was riding the track with a buddy on an rsv4 at the weekend and I consistently overtook him on the straights cause I could carry more corner speed and get on the gas earlier on exit. It's a great bike.
P.S. that Concours is a beauty.
Same comment I was going to make.
Good video.
Love the scripture keep it coming
Bought a 91 gsxr 750 brand new last year they had oil cooled in the black and purple I wish I had it back every day
They should’ve kept making the Honda 954 it’s the same way as you describe the 750 but with maybe a little more power
Why do u think the pass button is stupid?

I keep watching your videos bro cause u always read the scriptures,, my bro
ahhhhh this guy coughing.....IS DRIVING ME INSANE
Has different suspension on a 750 also
Its the best balance of power and speed and handling for 99% of the riders out there... Had a few, as well as many literbikes... And while the 1000's are certainly an adrenaline rush, they aren't any faster other than outright top speed runs on the interstate... Anywhere else, on the twisty roads around where I live, all that power is more of a liability than an asset.
And if you are a good rider... the 750 is nearly as potent... Like 10 years ago I was watching Chris "Opie" Caylor racing his 750 in the 1,000 class in WERA at Road Atlanta... and getting on the podium...
Modern 1000's have come a long way since then, but for street and occasional track days, the 750 is perfect...
Love to find me a GSXR 750 Suzuki in great shape...let me know when you get one :-)
yamaha made the FZ750 in the mid 80's. it stuck around for 7 yrs
Yeh, I had one, really strong mid range power
