Watched this 2 years ago before getting my license and wanted it straight away. Passed, got a 125 to start and can happily say I brought the 2020 model yesterday as my first big bike on this recommendation 😊 stay safe, ride well 👍🏻
Congratulations and enjoy James!
Your content is severely underrated, No nonsense, no un- necessary music and things like that. i will be strongly be considering this bike, the street triple RS, the MT09 next year as a upgrade, thank you for the insight!
Thank you for the kind comments - much appreciated!
would you say this is a good bike for a beginner but a mature beginner.? who is also aware of the power
Me too but would have liked an led headlight - suzuki definitely behind the drag curve with that!!
May be returning to bikes after a 15 year or so absence and it's amazing how the scene has changed. Was all about the 600, 750 and 1000cc four cylinder supersports. Now it's seems to be a lot about naked bikes and twins. Parallel twins were only found in smaller commuter bikes but are much more prevalent today. For me you can't beat a 4 cylinder screaming at 10,000+ revs!
As soon as I'm off my restricted licence this is the bike for me %100!!!!
A hidden gem🙏
I have a GSX S750 which I traded my gorgeous 675R for, mainly for comfort reasons and I’ve not been disappointed. Endless fun on the road, so capable, usable and super mean looks, especially in the “Phantom’ black which mine is. I added the Yoshi can which sounds amazing and completes the looks. Did 2,400 miles in a week across Europe with the boys and it was a joy. Did everything really well, especially the alpine twisters! I stuck a screen on for the trip to help with the motorway sections. Great bike and a bloody bargain!
i think just black is a bit boring. The red version is rly awesome
Unusual hand position on the throttle grip...
I always ride like that on flatter bars
I broke my right metacarpal back when I was younger. I prefer to position my hand like that on the throttle. I find it less fatiguing
You should give it a try for me i used to have a bad throttle control , jerky and making me bouncing all over the bike jumping from10% to directly 50% , then i saw a video recommending different grips for throttle one of them was "ice cream cone " grip it made my throttle control much smoother and it is the same he is using in the video
I was thinking just that . Great review as always. Ive bought an 18 reg one for the summer. Cant wait to get it
Just took ownership of one in the red. Probably watched this review over the last 6 months 200+ tines! Could probably say it back word for word! Thanks for your continued reviews and content, I now watch you more than I watch terrestrial TV!!! Loving the GSXS although still running it in till the first 600 miles then I can take it to traction control level 1 and have some real fun!
Great stuff Jack, exciting times getting a new bike eh? Those first 600 miles are such a drag though...enjoy and keep in touch! All the best - TMF
Very good review on GSX S750, this bike deserves a 2nd review, Suzuki built a very nice quality bike, it needs some good reviews like yours.
Another enjoyable review, thank you. And don't worry, I often check out my reflection in shop windows while I'm riding, ha ha!
Phew!!....thought it was just me :0)
Everyone has a sneaky check..amazing what the leathers do for the waistline; never mind the bike!
for 40 years checkin my postures
TheMissendenFlyer No, I think it's almost everybody
Can't wait to start testing out bikes,I'm starting my first MSF class tomorrow.Good review btw
Thanks...and enjoy!
Picked up my 2018 GSX-S750Z yesterday thanks to this review. Just a good overall review and what a great machine. "Thank you". Perfect for commuting and the weekend romp.
Congratulations! ....and enjoy....
By far the best reviews on Utube.I’ve actually bought two bikes based on your reviews and love both of them,thanks.
Wow thank you!
I like your motovlog style and always enjoy the views as well.. loved the englishness of that village lol
Thank you very much! Where in the world are you then??
Thanks again for a great review TMF - Huge fan from Denmark.
Im at the end of getting my mc licence, and this model seems perfect for me, not too agressive, great handling, good brakes, all the rider aids needed. And it being the undervalued underdog is apealing. So much value for such a small price.
In Denmark the price is alot higher, in comparison to your currency it's 12.157 euro, due to registration taxes.
I don't see a simpler choice, then this bike as a first bike 😉 Thanks again for helping us make the right choice.
Hey man, did you get this bike? How much did you pay for insurance in dm?
Sold my GSXR 600 2015 and bought this bike. Installed translogic quickshifter, dyno tuned with yoshi alpha t. It is such a fun bike to ride, now the mid range is much more powerfull and with TC switched off its a wheelie machine. Great on the road and track!
Full exhaust?
TMF congrats on your 33k subs mate!!! i love watching your reviews !!
Thank you....
Beautiful place. Planning to get this Suzuki in near future
Best review of the Suzuki so far coming from an actual street triple rider, would be nice to se more comparative between the two of the bikes, maybe for a future video?
Nice idea!
Great video.Really Like these bikes and fancy getting one next spring.
I am glad I checked this review. The Suzuki GSX 750 and SVX/V-Strom 650 are selling at really low prices right. They are the best deals on new bikes I know of.
Another very good review. Enjoyed the ride. Thanks.
2024 - they still make them, and they're still great. My first I4, and what a treat. Built like a swiss watch.
I thought it was only me that checked out my reflection in shop windows when riding in town?
Excellent review 👍 Thanks for posting.
Another cracking review TMF, thanks. This has been top of my list for some time. Liked the blue but this clip has convinced me to go red! Never had a red vehicle before so why not for my first 'real' bike! Will let you know how my A2 goes over here in France.......
Good luck with it Simon!
Nice review. These things are still around and great value (about stg 7,200 where I live) The character and soul comes form the induction roar when you wind it up.... I have test ridden one four times now. Was looking for a bigger bike, Z900 or MT09 but still like this little bike. SOOO easy to ride around a city! Bit old school in 2022 but .....
Lot to be said for “old school”!
Another good review like all your reviews keep them coming👍
+paul marshall Cheers Paul - will do...
Great review bud!!! One of the best yet!!!
Thank you!
I'm desperate for one of these as my second bike! Upgrading from an ER6f. Beautiful machine! Although would definitely have to go Suzuki blue an black
Hello TMF, I'm not a rider sadly (yet) but I am a subscriber and have watched a heap of your videos over the last few weeks, absolutely love them- the tours in particular. Your production and delivery of the info particularly from the perspective of someone who doesn't ride like me is spot on, and still immensely enjoyable- one of my favourite YT accounts to follow. Here's hoping I get to ride one day, it certainly would in no small measure be a tip of the hat to you! Safe riding sir.
+NNICKKK Thank you very much, glad you've enjoyed my efforts...now get yourself a bike! :0)
great review beautiful bike
Thanks David...
Another great objective review, thanks for your efforts and impartiality. In choosing my next bike I had written this off in my own mind but having watched this I have a test ride booked for this coming Saturday!
Nice one Ashley - I think you may be pleasantly surprised by this one.....I was
TheMissendenFlyer I was, it's in the garage! 😀👍
@Bunnyshooter 223 I actually have its bigger brother now, a GSXS1000F 🙂 There's been a few in between mind you@
@Bunnyshooter 223 hopefully since Suzuki's big win they'll move on from competent underdogs. Their racing budget is way smaller than some teams though
Wow best review on TH-cam! Your voice is so soothing btw 😂👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Thanks Andy will short list this as a replacement for my beloved 600 Bandit, It dosen't seem to have changed much since you tested it 3 and a half years ago, Great value.
Great bike!
I have its predecessor GSR750 its bigger brother GSXSs1000 love them both, treat rode this model & liked it too, maybe 1 day I will get 1, good fair review.
I noticed the traction control light come on a couple of times. Once for rear wheel slip after turning a corner and once for anti wheelie. Some complain about the electronic nannies but in each of those cases it may have saved your bacon. As usual, great review.
Yes I agree, if electronic help is available, I'll take it!
Looks great, sounds great, another great review.
Great review as always.
Thank you John....always good to know you're out there!
Howdy, just recently test rode the GSX-S750 A2 version and I was pleasantly surprised. Although it has pretty outdated looks when it comes to the lighting (no LEDS), the engine absolutely fascinated me. I think it was my 18th test ride in my search to find my perfect A2 bike :) Btw, PS stands for "Pferdestärke" and that translates to HP (horse power). It's German, and so am I :) As always, loved your review!!!!!
Thanks for watching and for stopping by!
Great review TMF, I test rode this bike along with a street triple, mt09, tracer900 and gsxs1000 and didn't want to get off after the hour. Hopefully get it next week :)
Congratulations!
hello tmf, i would love to see a review of the new gsxs1000 as well. keep up the good work, always enjoy watching your reviews.
+mike knight Cheers Mike, will try my best!
Informative and comprehensive review, ta.
Sat on one, seat a bit high (I'm same height as you) and fairly low bars - noticeable difference from thousand version.
Considering changing from 750 twin, this and CB650F on radar.
Watched this 3 times and I want one. So I bought one, it arrives next week. Thanks Mr Flyer.
Congratulations!
I rode this last weekend. Really like it, despite the clutch being adjusted way too loose and me not having time to sort it.
I absolutely loved the induction howl from the engine, was pleasantly surprised just how much torque they'd tuned into it, it's highly driveable.
I agree - a great fun machine, goes well too!
Great review ! I have the gsxs 1000 and after having the 04 gsxr 750 i can say that the engine is glorious !
...must try and get me a go on one of those puppies!
TheMissendenFlyer if you were in north america id say come on over to review mine!
Great video mate 👍 and amazing bike
+The Spiderman Cheers...
Can't believe what a great looking bike that is especially in red!!! Equally as as good on the eye as a mt-10 another enjoyable review cheers
Yes I thought it was a looker, rides well too....under rated I reckon...
Excellent review as always, very informative. All the reviews aside I really need a garage like yours! Obviously my two bikes with three bike target need a plush home. Also long live dealerships that are open to let reviewers take the bikes out and give an honest opinion.......Come on Ducati, really!
....don't forget Kawasaki... ;0) (dealers that is)
Top review ☺️ this is my next bike for sure! 😉
Thank you Alex...
Another great review again, I'm writing this question before the vlog had even finished. Power wise how does it compare to a supersports? Would it lose in a race? Very impressed info. When you can and if you can will you review the ducati supersports. Thanks.
Oh yes this is super powerful and could see off many a supersports bike with a competent rider - just as fast......and I'm working on the Ducati!
The 2020 model still fitted with 'halogen' headlight When no one else is - seriously thinking about buying this bike but not happy about that!!
But it’s a very easy upgrade to LED so don’t see it as a problem
@@gushbucket5998 Problem for insurance company.
@@silverrambo1508 no problem with my insurance company
@@gushbucket5998 Do you live in UK? Here is an issue with conversion std lamp on LED... insurance can be voided, if converted lamp motorbike is involved in accident, insurance company first check for any bike modification - to judge rider even if is not his fault. Any mods must be approved by british law.
@@silverrambo1508 yeah I live in the UK, I told my insurance company that I have installed LED lights and heated grips as well as a Lextek end can, my insurance went up by £17 for the year that’s all
Great review! I've got the latest gsxr 750 and it's a great bike! Would love to see a review on the gixxer
I'd love a crack on one if I get the chance - ride safe!
This is the bike I would/will buy. I love Suzukis and 4s. I think this looks better than the triple and MT09 but would have to get mine in black. Great review as always.
+Bradley Goldsac Thanks Bradley...
Another well presented video. I just spent the day on my 2016 GSXR 750 and I can never get enough of the in line 4 engine. Have you ever tested an of the GSXR's?
+Shutters Castle Hill - Castle Hill Shutters Yes, I rode the new GSXR 1000 recently, loved it (I have a review on TH-cam)....
You're reviews are fantastic. Some of the most thorough on TH-cam. Any chance of doing the Kawasaki Z900?
+Sean Macfarlane Thank you Sean, unfortunately the local Kawasaki dealer doesn't talk to me - I'll keep tryouts no though!
Great video as always!
One small detail, were the handlebars wide enough because you did the whole video gripping the ends of the bars!
Several have spotted that - don't know what was going on there!
i've just passed my test and this review made me buy this. I cant wait to pick it up :D
Congratulations on both counts - ride safe!
Lee did you have other bikes in mind before you chose this.
Hello! Really enjoying all your reviews as usual! Would you perhaps be reviewing the GSX S1000 soon by any chance?
Nothing planned at the moment but if I get the chance to have a demo then I sure will! Stay tuned....
Hi love the videos glad your reviewing this bike i am away to change my mt07 that I love btw possibly to 1 of these sad to see my mt go but rusty swing arm issues
Nice to see you on the Suzuki, my favourite bike. I'm really tempted to test ride that model, looks really appealing. Whats the service interval? Great review.
+John Richards Cheers John, assume at 600 miles then every 8000 or annually but I don't actually know....
I plan on getting one of these. It’s hard to get a good review on these gsxs and I for one think they’re underrated. Great review.
I agree - much under rated…
Thanks for another informative review - while you're in with your Suzuki dealership you should try to get a test ride on the GSX-s1000F, combines the K5 gixxer motor with the same upright riding position as the 750, the induction roar as you open up is just intoxicating.
Yes I will try and do that - thanks for the recommendation!
Hi I enjoyed your review as always; I like yourself do not have much in the height department; so I am always interested in the seat height/usability aspect of new bikes ( which seem to be geared towards long legged riders). I; unfortunately only have relatively short legs which makes bike choices limited; any chance you could mention inside leg versus seating position? A static shot of you sitting on the bike would be great. Keep the reviews coming P.S. loved your recent touring exploits; great viewing!
+Paul Hartwell Cheers Paul - I'll see what I can do....TMF
"Terminator'. haha! Great review. Thanks a lot! Looking at selling my CB650F for this one. I live in Thailand.
Another fantastic revue.. good job mate 👍. Almost makes me what to get a street bike 😜
+Jim Bradley Thank you Jim - why wouldn't you!
Good point. .. let me talk the wife into it 👌😉
Really nice review !
Glad you think so!
Thanks for another great review very nice bike and great country side many thanks tony
+Anthony Stanley Thank you Tony - you're very welcome...TMF
I think the problem you have in finding anything really negative to say about the bikes you test is
actually quite telling .
Motorcycling journalists need to find slight differences in order to have something interesting
to write about, and ranking competing bikes is of course a staple component of comparative tests.
Its all fun but nonsense really.
The truth is in real world conditions with real world riders most bikes are so close in ability that it
really is down to personal preference rather than any inherent quality of the machines on offer.
Having said that Suzuki always tilt the balance slightly towards "value for money" and are very hard
to beat on those terms alone.
Completely agree! Some bikes are better than others but only marginally in the main....
Totally agree david. I think as long as you know the type of bike you want, it's pretty well down to which one you like the look of the most.
I've rode the SV650, CB650R and Ninja 650, I would have been happy to own any of those bikes, none of them had any issues that would have been a deal breaker for me. What you say is very true.
Another great review. I'm in the wrong hemisphere, but when the weather clears I will test ride the Street Triple, 2021 MT09 and the GSX which is well priced over here
Have fun!
Nice review. One reason I would buy it is to get to the pub quicker. Must say my GS has luggage space for my meds, dentures and spare hearing aid batteries. Okay I'm exaggerating but I do like my luggage. I do lots of shopping on my GS, it solves parking issues in crowded Melbourne on a Saturday morning. Thanks for the review.
+Jacob Botha Thanks Jacob...and yes I agree, luggage may not be exciting but it is very useful!
Great review as ever!
I have just purchased an identical machine!
Congratulations!
Fantastic content as always! Thanks mate
My pleasure!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Sorry quick question - would this bike be suitable to commute on? I've ridden for many years but not in the last 10. I have tried a number of 600-700cc naked bikes recently (MT07, SV650, z650), and they feel a little slow. I also am worried that something like this might be a little too sporty riding position for lane splitting/filtering however. Cheers mate!
@@jimbojonesporfavor It would be great for making commuting fun! It is sporty but I reckon perfect for the job...
@@TheMissendenFlyer Thanks mate! Your reviews are really great
Great review!! What a beautiful day to ride!
+PistolPete63 Yes, it was gorgeous (I shot this about a month ago)...
TheMissendenFlyer it's hard to head back home on days like that! Tough riding in central Texas right now, 100 degrees every day until late September so you really have to get your rides in before lunch! Thanks for all the great motorcycle reviews.
Bad news - better to be too hot for riding than too cold though in my experience...
TheMissendenFlyer I agree!
Test rode this and the SV650 back to back.
If you want a nimble, sporty naked with an ULTRA smooth inline four engine and PLENTY of go, the GSXS 750 is it - cracking bike.
As admirable as the GSXS is, I preferred the SV, with its grunty twin cylinder engine - plus it's two grand cheaper.
monck55 hi, i am looking a bike and narrowing down to f07, sv650 and this gsxs 750. From your opinion, does the sv650 and this gsxs750 have the same power??? Thanks
I do the same too(look at the window reflection while riding),looks cool!
Glad it's not just me :0)
Theres a part of me that wishes the gsx s1000 looked a bit more like this. I just find it a really cool looking bike and i wish they made it in a 1000cc version
John Stringer They do make 1000cc in this modal gsx s 1000
@@fatboy9533 yeah but this one looks way better.
fantastic looking machine Had a 81 gsx750 would be nice to own this incarnation
The big 4 from Japan are unbelievable at delivering great value for the money. There are so many good bikes available it is a great time to be riding.
100% agree Scott (as ever)....
Once again nice watchable review of in my opinion, an very underrated bike. I agree with your comment about bike manufacturers using PS instead of BHP (in UK) almost as annoying as vloggers using newton/meters of torque instead of ft/lbs__ahem!!!!
:0)
Thanks for the review. I have a coworker that is looking at getting one of these. I will be sharing this with him. :)
Nice one Jason - thanks for that...
Thanks for the great review. I would like to know if you'd recommend the XSR900 over this? Regards.
Close but I think yes, I would....
"Oh hello ladies. Goodness me!" He's not The Missenden Flyer, he's just a very naughty boy.
+The Tewin Tourer Oops! Did I leave that in....
Hey TMF. That certainly looks amazing in red! Another great review thx. Can this be limited for A2 riders do you know?
I believe it can Simon but don't quote me on that!
Cracking review.👌
Thanks Jim - appreciated...
Great video 💯
Thank you
I just bought one, I downsized from a bandit 1200 to a gsxs, best move I’ve done in ages
@@dehrim6080 if you’re getting a brand new bike,I must be honest, I never felt the difference,
Great video! Thank you.
Thank you for watching Brad!
I love that little cycling comparison, very true. I always liked motorcycles but always thought its bit too expensive so I substituted it with mountain biking. Not really huge fan of the pedal up part, but going down is what gives me. Unfortunately mountain biking got to a point, where decent MTB costs as much as a motorbike. Got me a dirtbike couple years back and it has all the good bits of cycling, but it is way more fun going up! :D Now I am thinking about fulfilling my live long dream and getting a proper street bike and most likely it will be the GSX-S 750. So thanks for the review!
My pleasure - glad it was of interest!
It also has the RPM assist to aid you.
EDIT: Sorry, I missed that part. You did mention it. Nonetheless, it's a nice addition. I'm not the most experienced rider but I have been on / off bikes for a few years and even with a familiar bike I sometimes stall those at traffic lights. Happens to everyone at some point.
Yes, a handy feature that (loved it on the VStrom).....
Nice. Yeah great value. Both red and blue colours are great. This one has a lot going for it
+hudsonrilke I agree, another that hasn't had much press coverage, under rated I reckon...
i stayed in Kettering for a while, compared to northern scotland , it reminded me of Spain..
Had the 750 a year, loved it. I pick up the 2021 GSXS 1000 on Friday in blue and silver. Hope you get chance to review it, id like to see that, if you can't get one you can have mine for a couple of hrs next year....in half decent weather of course.
Congratulations on the new bike Gary!
Would have been nice to see the clocks close up when u stopped ,,how much did u say it was .? Thanks shane
Powerful and comfortable. Perfect combination
Thanks for watching!
You are not the only one that admires their profile in store windows. I used to as well until I came within a few feet of rear ending a vehicle one day. Now, not so much.
I live in the USofA and own a 2015 gsx-s750. While I'm aware it differs from the other models, I thoroughly enjoy this bike. I'd agree it's the perfect second bike aka first big bike. I started on a ninja 500 a handful of years ago and have no intentions of selling my bike. If anything I'll be adding a dual sport to the stables next year...
+The Real A A Ron McStonerson Nice one and glad we concur!
Hallo TMF,
thank you for your opinion on the bike and your review. Brilliant as always. Where I live (currently in Germany) the Suzuki dealers already give you a good discount on this model (thanks to the new z900 and the mt09).
Do you happen to have the chance to ride Aprilia's new Shiver 900? I'd be very much interested to hear your opinion on that bike.
Cheers
Do you know I've never ridden any Aprilia, just haven't had the chance (no local dealers)....hopefully I can put that right at some point....
Hi , really enjoying all your reviews . Have you any plans to review the Honda Crossrunner ?
I have just bought a 2016 Crossrunner and would like to hear your opinion of the bike if you review it !
Loved the video of your Northern trip to the lakes , especially the Hard Knott pass !
Thanks Robert
Would love to have a crack on one of those Robert, I do need to visit the Honda dealer soon so will see what I can line up - cheers - TMF
TheMissendenFlyer That would be great. .l will look forward to that .
Cheers Robert
Would you say this is a good bike to start on? I don't want to get bored on a lower CC bike and I love everything I've seen about this bike.
If you are by nature a very careful person and can completely trust yourself to not open the throttle then yes, a great bike to start on and you certainly wouldn't get bored. Personally, if I'd started on one of these it would have been the last bike I ever bought (as I would have killed myself).....
Appreciate the fast response man. Yes I am very careful and responsible. Great to hear it's good to start on then. Thanks!
I'd really like to see you review the 1000 and the 1000f
