I bought a 2015 gsxs 750 and have logged in over 800 miles and this review couldn't be further off. It is NOT sluggish. it is not Detuned, it is retuned. A successful company like suzuki would not waste R and D by just down tuning. it is a factory streetfighter not a supermoto.
***** I don't know about Yamaha bias but I definitely thought you were harsh on the 636 for not being an older model R6. Didn't even hit the highway.Unfortunately the GSX-S on the other hand sounds exactly like what I expected. I was hoping you might change my mind on it, but it just doesn't seem to be "supersport" quality. Be better off making a gsxr into a streetfighter.
Lol that's what I've noticed too. Anything that's not a Yamaha he complains about and then he's up the ass of every Yamaha bike. Which is fine if you ask me but if you're that biased you should at least be honest about it haha
I agree... did you watch the 636 video? He's complaining about not being able to feel the electronics, but he's not even pushing it. I could go on about the bias he shows, but I'll just leave it at that.
Im not sure its just because of the Yamaha brand. But he is not very appriciative of bikes other then the 3 big 1000 supersports. I feel like the nit picking starts way to early, every bike has its sharm but they dont allways suit everyone. *edit* althought he did lighten up a bit in the end
I read a first ride from Motorcycle.com and they gave it a subpar review, especially since it's been out since 2011 in other parts of the world. The GSX-S750 didn't outperform the z800 or the FZ-07 & 09. So, it's not just Chase. Suzuki should've changed some things up before the release in the US, but dropped the ball.
I started on a GSX-S750, and I absolutely love it! It’s got all the power you need and the corners are awesome on it. It seems that this video couldn’t be any more inaccurate. This bike would also GAP an fz07 any day. You really just need to open it up to get a feel for it.
You keep complaining about the lack of power even though you are shifting bellow 7000RPM. it's a 4cy, the power is in the upper range . You seem to have an issue with Suzuki motorcycles, your Hayabusa review was a compete joke. I will be avoiding this channel.
I own this bike for almost 6mo now, I have ridden the crap out of it. It pushes harder and smother in performance riding than the FZ-09. It's suspended much better and ergonomically it's way better setup than the 09. And I promise you when it gets going hard 750 easily gets away from 07 and stays ahead of the 09 for sure...
My first bike was an R3 bro, I starter riding with absolutely zero experience. It has power for sure, just make sure you don't get cocky. I was personally afraid of big bike when I started so I went with an R3 which felt plenty powerful for about 6mo :)...
Not the greatest review from you. Not once did you mention how the suspension handled all the city bumps, highway expansion joints, or how flickable the bike was... New tires not withstanding. You were very fixated on its engine braking and never even commented on its REAL brakes. No, this bike doesn't have different ride modes (buy an Aprilia Shiver), but neither does the FZ-07. It's more like you expected the bike to be boring and you never left that mindset the entire review... shame on you.
+Wabbit1961 I agree Rabbit. Even more so, its like he expected it to be as torquey as the FZ-07. Whats wrong with smooth controllable power. If 8000 revs is the sweet spot, then get hooligan in the sweet spot. 140 mph top speed is not shabby. He could have given this a more fair review.
+chaseontwowheels this is what we like about you and your reviews; we get your true impressions, i just felt that as an overall daily rider, this bike kicks but. It seems to have overall smoothness and good power, if not being a torque monster.
Coming from a Yahama fz6 I rode one of these today. First thing I thought was that it would be a riot on a track. This bike was tons of fun and sounds amazing with a yoshi exhaust.
@@landonjones8819 The GSXS750 is a WAY better motor than the FZ07. This Chase dude was just a complete noob when making this video in 2015. Get this bike between 7,000 and 10,000 rpms and it'll be so far ahead of an FZ07 you wouldn't even be able to see it.
@@enthused7591 In 2019, the MT-07 is around 7k... The GSX-S750 almost 9k which puts it into MT-09 territory. The MT-09 is better than the Suzuki in every way. The MT-07 makes a lot of power down low in the rpms which makes its a great usable street bike without breaking too many laws. For example, i've owned both the MT-07 (75hp/50ftlb) and a 2015 ZX6R (130hp/50ftlb). They make the same torque but since the 07 is a twin, it makes it all down low which is better in all situations except the highway. The MT 07 is a better overall street bike than the Inline-4 ZX6R 636.
Just came back to rewatch this review and man this bike is amazing I own one its 3 years old used and man besides adding bar end mirrors thatis bike is amazing and I get compliments all the time on it and retuned not detuned chase
this guy makes no sense. i ride a Bandit 650 and that thing flies with "just" 84 horses. theres almost no regular car i can't overtake or places i can't go to with it. i really don't get why ppl always complain about a lack of power. i rode a mt-125 and that thing hat 0 pull when compared to any regular >500cc motorcycle and still it was an awful lot of fun. while he is conplaining about the power he is also driving around like a regular commuter and within the speed limit. How exactly could he tell???? my Bandit stays in 2nd gear almost all the time during city driving as it is barely at 6000 rpm at 60km/h so what exactly does lack of power really mean??
BTW, if you've ridden enough bikes you'll find most, if not all, motorcycles have a dead spot between 4-5krpm. That's what a Power Commander is for if you really think it's such a defecit. Correcting that with a Power Commander works fine, but you'll lose gas mileage. Ask anyone that's ever used one. Better route is just an aftermarket exhaust without a Commander, with a K&N air filter. You want more down low grunt just change the sprockets. Cheap and easy to do.
its always kind of surreal watching your channel because you live in the same place as me (to some degree) and i keep seeing things that i recognize in all of your videos. Like i was literally just at that same mountain motorsports a few months ago shopping around for bikes.
Great review C2W good stuff to keep in mind :D I would have thought it would have tuns or torque down low. Seems more like a super sport in that the power kicks in high up in the rev range.
Comparing a inline four with a parallel twin is like comparing a mustang V8 with a Ferrari V12 they are very different engines. If you want low mid range power get the twin if you want mid high end power get an inline four.
I gather naked bikes sell better over here, what with our crappy roads and the majority of riders not wanting sportbikes. I find its much more comfortable and enjoyable to be upright, especially with all the speed limits every five minutes haha.
I guess they changed the name because they're bringing naked bikes to the U.S. All at the same time and they're launching the new GSX S1000 within a few weeks
I really dislike the fact that you constantly judge a bike on its first impressions. You ride the bike for 5 mins and then you keep repeating the judgements you then made for the whole video... I dont think that is a good, objective way of reviewing a bike, you have tunnelvision that way.
Repeated the same stuff over and over Said the bike looks ugly Well that’s where most people who don’t even like the bike disagree The bike looks sleek and sexy online and in person I have heard a lot of reviews say it’s lacking power at lower rpms but guess I’ll find out if I like it tomorrow when I test drive it myself
Why even compare an inline 4 to a twin? Bugs me so much when people do this crap. I've watched other reviewers thrash this bike and this bike performs awesome
I really don't get why you are comparing the Suzuki with the FZ-07. The Suzuki is from 2011 and comes with a retuned GSXR 750 K5 engine (4 cylinders - inline - 106 hp) while the much smaller FZ-07 from 2014 has a 74 hp parallel twin engine in it. Considering this, the FZ-07 obviously has more torque on lower rpm so it might be even better suited for everyday use in the city than the Suzuki. The Suzuki on the other hand is the overall stronger bike, that might be perfect for countryroads or even the race track. After all the Suzuki should be rather compared to other sporty-nakeds like the Z750/800 or the FZ-08 while the FZ-07 is way closer (also from an optical point of view) to the ER-6N, SFV 650 or even the KTM 390.
My dad got this bike today, couple of after market things, new exhaust indicators, tail tidy, seats and a couple of other things. Its in black and yellow so it looks pretty good and sounds a lot nicer now than the original exhaust in this video. He likes the engine braking as well as you said
I've really enjoyed the random bike reviews. That's cool that the dealership is letting you hook them up with some free advertising and make some good videos at the same time.
You R crazy. That bike is awsome!! I had two and then went to mt 09...im glad i sold it and go back to this bike. Crazy riding it. So i dont know how you do these videos but its not realistic dude.
Suzuki is quick to point out that the GSX-S engine is not a de-tuned GSX-R. Based on the 2005 GSX-R750 engine architecture, the GSX-S powerplant employs unique valve timing and lift, plus reshaped intake and exhaust ports. This, along with 8-hole fine-mist fuel injectors set at a different angle in the dual throttle bodies, results in greater low- and midrange power delivery and a claimed 11 mpg improvement in fuel efficiency.
I bought this bike almost 2 months ago, almost got 900 miles on it now. I love it. I've owned a DRZ 350 and a ninja 250. But I've never really rode a bike with similar power. If you're only in your first few years of riding and never had a supersport I promise this has as much power as you could want. Like Chase says it is LITTLE slow back and forth but in a corner you feel in complete control and locked in. 90% of my riding is up in the mountains and canyons by my house and it's perfect for me. I CAN get the front wheel to pop up in 2nd gear over 8000, no clutch. Speed shifting on this bike is awesome. I don't love the seating position for sure. I'm 6'4" so that will always be a problem but something is screwy between the handlebars and seating position. My back starts to hurt after 45 min of riding. I have taken it over 148mph and still felt great (besides wind of course). From reviews I've read the fz09 gets out of control at 115.. Great bike for the price if you're questioning getting supersport but not positive you want to risk that much yet. Mirrors fucking suck for sure.
People say he is biased when it comes to Yamaha, but for this review, constantly comparing it to the FZ-07 is appropriate since this was Suzukis competitor for it. And if you watch other review videos, he has paid plenty of compliments to several of non Yamaha bikes. In my own experience, I was always a Honda guy. But after I test rode the FZ-07, I was sold. It is a fantastic bike, which is why it is killing it as far as naked bikes go.
Your reviews are awful - you ride around for a few minutes on really boring roads, and never discuss handling, braking, performance etc because you never test any of that stuff. You just ride in a straight line on boring roads on go "oh yeah no don't really like this bike".
Chris Doms It's a first ride. The video is created to give people an understanding of what a person's thoughts are the first time they ride it. If you went to a dealership and test rode one of these models this is what you would experience. That is what my goal is with these videos. Sorry you don't find it helpful.
I should have known something was up in the first 10 seconds of the video. But half way through when you said it has 4 miles on the tach you lost a truck load of credibility.
I like the look of it, very angular and contemporary but not so modern that its looks will age, and there will be plenty of useable power in that 750 motor
Ya you pretty much touched on it. Those bikes have been sold in Europe for a long time as a comfortable commuter that you can have fun with. But when it comes out see if you can get your hands on the 1000. Theres alot of hype about those. Good review dude!
Oh man, I misread the title, thought you reviewed the GSXR 750, in Europe this model is called GSR 750, nwm, great review and keep up with the good work, greetings from Croatia ;)
I just bought this bike yesterday and I have to say I am inlove with it, it could be that im little bias but i like to think its a great bike. I have ridden a fz-09 and in my OPINION the s750's smooth engine with the stiffer suspension is not below the FZ-09 class. What I hated about the FZ-09 is that the power delivery right when you open the throttle is so sudden that the inadequate suspension would become so evident. I know so many people that swear on the FZ-09s but the s750 is not outclassed by the FZ-09 and honestly to me the s750 was a better purchase because to improve the suspension on the fz-09 would be about 2k but the biggest problem with the s750 is the out dated brakes and how they felt which you can fix or atleast improve significantly with better pads.
***** keep in mind though, that bike was specifically designed for supermoto style riding position, and it's almost the only bike (except for the hypermotard, rivale etc) that was designed specifically for that.
***** FJ-09 is more of a adventure touring bike, it's designed to do both light off road and on road, so was supermotos. GSX S750 is a street fighter kind of thing, which means it's basically a naked sportbike, so it'll ride like a road bike. I will say tho, i hate when manufacturers these day detune engines in a streetfighter, it was meant to be a naked supersport, plus inline 4 engines r not good at torque, even when u down tune all the highend out of it u'll just get an engine with not enough torque u want and no highend at all.
***** No it isn't. The MT-09 (FJ-09 round there) is smaller than this GSR, I know it, I own one and before that I tested the Yamaha. It's hard as a rock and the fueling felt awful. That's why I bought the Suzuki and not the Yamaha. Yes, it's quite a lot faster than this Suz, torquier and sportier, but on a day-to-day basis, this is just better (wears you less). And just remember that the FJ-07 doesn't compete with this one, but with the SV650/Gladius. Cheers!
this is a great bike.. we had over here for over 4 years.. its a great bike.. the fun is over 65000rpm.. we called GSR !!! gsx-s is only for the u.s.a..! its go round bends track twisty it can do it all..!!! it do need mods.. i think its a great bike.. i sold my mt 09 to buy this.. and kills a monters any day..!
I hate to give you advice because you are, after all, chase on 2 wheels, but really you should stick to talking about the bikes that you've ridden and not so much about the ones that you haven't. Anyone can guess about what a bike is like to ride that they haven't actually ridden. Stick to talking about the bike that you are actually on, ideally. I am only watching your videos to see what you think about bikes that I have ridden and reviewed myself, and this really strikes me as funny that we agree in some ways about the same bike and completely disagree in others. How do wide bars reduce your sense of control "wait, that's not the right word....I just don't like it". Wide bars increase your control, narrow clip-ons decrease it, significantly. You're just used to narrow clip-ons. what I would have hoped that you had picked up in comparing the FZ6R and the Gixxfighter is that it has significantly more power even though it has a similar powerband, but without a major hit in handling. Please do not worry about bikes that you have never actually ridden when talking about bikes in your demos. As far as what bikes are ideal in the twisties, ideal for first-buyers, ideal for starting-riders...those are completely different issues. But I agree the FZ6R is an excellent starter bike while 300s are just too slow even for beginners especially for first-time buyers. The real issue with this bike is whether it is too powerful for a starter bike because it is a good bike but not *that* much faster than a FZ6R or FZ7 (though it has a much better powerband than an FZ7 and far better brakes). I really think this is an excellent first-bike. And a bike on which most riders could easily learn to ride. It is hardly overpowering either in terms of weight or power. But it is not a supersport. But that is ok. Very few riders really can handle a supersport right off the bat, or even want one. Very few riders need to or even want to pull high lean-angles in the corners on the street and this bike is an excellent complement to the Gixxer 600 and 750 not to mention the Gladius and V-strom and SV650.. even better if it had ABS. I even agree with the whole "nakedness" but it is fine at casual speeds.
Some of the bikes at mountain motorsports are pre-owned but I'm sure they would be able to take care of them if something were to ever happen they are a pretty large dealership!
That's why I bought mine new with 0 miles on it. No way I'd take a chance on a bike that was redlined / thrashed or taken on a "demo" ride for TH-cam before it's been properly broken in by a real rider.
I don't know if this bike delivers on the torque and grunt, but your opinion is completely useless because you are too low on the revs all the time, you never even got to feel what kind of power this bike actually has... kinda useless review man
I purchased a 2022 model and I very happy with this bike. Definitely must have changed the tuning on this motorcycle because the power doesn't start at 7000 - 8000rpm. Only change I made is the normal slip on upgrade and a bigger windscreen.
What I would like to know is, there is a guy on youtube "porkipix" where he is on a track with his r6 and a guy on a gsr 750 is staying in front of him and he doesn't seem to be able to catch him. I know chase wasnt a fan of this bike, but I got one a little over a month ago because I got like an insane deal on a hold over. Anyway, I sure would like to know what that rider did to his gsr 750 to be able to do that. I am planning to gear my bike down a bit as I know others that did it that felt it really woke the bike up.
You really need to put on at least a few dozen miles before making so many conclusions. And in case you think I'm a butt-hurt Suzuki fan boy, I've never owned a Suzuki in my life. I'm a Yamaha fan boy. :P
Review a damn 2018 and make it unbiased. Jesus. I have a 2014 fz09 and I am trading it in next week. The brakes are garbage. Bike is beyond unstable above 100mph, and you can get good 1/4 times on it because the goddamn front wheel does not stay down. Also the ergos are way too god damn upright. Quit being such a Yammie fan boy
I just bought one of these but I have a question regarding the coolant temperature, when sitting on a stop light the temperature reaches the 5 bars, but as soon as I start moving it goes down to 3 bars, is this normal or is it overheating?
Sad is that too many people take your opinion as a judgement and by that miss out on a good bike !!! Make a real checklist and try to be more objective !!!
1:15 it's not suzukis answer to the fz09! the gsx s 750 is beeing build since 2011! the gsx s is way cheaper than the fz09 and is a completely different motorbike , the fz09 is supermoto ' ish with a to soft front fork! the gsx s 750 is more nakedbike oriented
From what you said about torque on this bike, it is definitely not competing with the FZ-09 in that aspect. Maybe just because it's a naked upright it could attract some of the market, but if you were to compare the two in power, FZ-09 would crush that thing. You gotta ride it man!
I would chose the Suzuki S750 all day every day. So how is the engine braking? Does it need more grunt? 11.1 quarter mile.... hmmm slow tins't it... 140 top speed, what a dog. How are the brakes? How does it actually corner?...you know, in turns. Some of us like smooth predictable great all around, fast motorcycles. Please you really do not have to only compare it to other motorcycle. Honestly, intense torque has a cool factor but will this bike be sluggish on any level in any situation Chase? Chase, i really like your reviews but not so much this one.
Hey Chase are you using a rig of some sort for those panning shots showing off the bike in the beginning on the video? If so what is it? The cinematography is great man!
With the lack of power and torque, do you feel this could be a newby bike for those of us bigger and taller riders looking for an upright seating position on a bike?
I bought a 2015 gsxs 750 and have logged in over 800 miles and this review couldn't be further off. It is NOT sluggish. it is not Detuned, it is retuned. A successful company like suzuki would not waste R and D by just down tuning. it is a factory streetfighter not a supermoto.
Get a camera. Do a review.

Cant wait for the zx10r!!

IMO the Suzuki looks a bit better than the MT/FZ, it looks more aggressive. The speedo looks better as well.

its always kind of surreal watching your channel because you live in the same place as me (to some degree) and i keep seeing things that i recognize in all of your videos. Like i was literally just at that same mountain motorsports a few months ago shopping around for bikes.
Great review C2W good stuff to keep in mind :D I would have thought it would have tuns or torque down low. Seems more like a super sport in that the power kicks in high up in the rev range.
No where near the power of a GSX-R 750 I will play with that bike all day bro!
worthless review. Already biased before you where on the bike.
Pity he aint on a HardlyD.lol
Comparing a inline four with a parallel twin is like comparing a mustang V8 with a Ferrari V12 they are very different engines. If you want low mid range power get the twin if you want mid high end power get an inline four.
We've had this bike in the UK since 2011, sold pretty well from what I've heard! It's called the GSR 750 over here btw. Much better name.
I was just about to say the same comment
Yea that's a much better name. didn't know you guys had it for that long.
I gather naked bikes sell better over here, what with our crappy roads and the majority of riders not wanting sportbikes. I find its much more comfortable and enjoyable to be upright, especially with all the speed limits every five minutes haha.
I had a 2006 gsr600 so that predate the 750 lol
I guess they changed the name because they're bringing naked bikes to the U.S. All at the same time and they're launching the new GSX S1000 within a few weeks
Once you changed the mirrors , exhaust and tail tidy it'll look awesome ! And it's a gsr 750
I really dislike the fact that you constantly judge a bike on its first impressions. You ride the bike for 5 mins and then you keep repeating the judgements you then made for the whole video... I dont think that is a good, objective way of reviewing a bike, you have tunnelvision that way.
Repeated the same stuff over and over
Said the bike looks ugly
Well that’s where most people who don’t even like the bike disagree
The bike looks sleek and sexy online and in person
I have heard a lot of reviews say it’s lacking power at lower rpms but guess I’ll find out if I like it tomorrow when I test drive it myself
I have a gsxs750 and you gotta open it up to have some fun man.
also, if the GSX-R is the Jixer... HOw do you pronounce this? Jixes? Jixus?
Why even compare an inline 4 to a twin? Bugs me so much when people do this crap. I've watched other reviewers thrash this bike and this bike performs awesome
I really don't get why you are comparing the Suzuki with the FZ-07. The Suzuki is from 2011 and comes with a retuned GSXR 750 K5 engine (4 cylinders - inline - 106 hp) while the much smaller FZ-07 from 2014 has a 74 hp parallel twin engine in it. Considering this, the FZ-07 obviously has more torque on lower rpm so it might be even better suited for everyday use in the city than the Suzuki. The Suzuki on the other hand is the overall stronger bike, that might be perfect for countryroads or even the race track. After all the Suzuki should be rather compared to other sporty-nakeds like the Z750/800 or the FZ-08 while the FZ-07 is way closer (also from an optical point of view) to the ER-6N, SFV 650 or even the KTM 390.
This was more of a review than your previous vids. I like it.
My dad got this bike today, couple of after market things, new exhaust indicators, tail tidy, seats and a couple of other things. Its in black and yellow so it looks pretty good and sounds a lot nicer now than the original exhaust in this video. He likes the engine braking as well as you said
I rode a 2015 a year ago, and then bought the 2018 just 3 days ago, and it has a good bit more Torque and Power up top. Plus it looks better now.
You should try out the refreshed Gsx s750, 2017+ I believe, they added more power and its much nicer on the eyes too
Also with these bikes you gotta get past 6-7k rpm to feel the power come on, the 2017+ refreshed ones Rev out to 11500rpm
I've really enjoyed the random bike reviews. That's cool that the dealership is letting you hook them up with some free advertising and make some good videos at the same time.
I started on an upright (1987 GS400) and I’m now on an SV650 and ever since then both sport bikes and cruisers feel weird to me.
You have really good cinematography skills chase
were you in a bad mood sir?
whats up with that wind screen rant? even FZ07 doesn't have it. Come on!.
You R crazy. That bike is awsome!! I had two and then went to mt 09...im glad i sold it and go back to this bike. Crazy riding it. So i dont know how you do these videos but its not realistic dude.
Suzuki is quick to point out that the GSX-S engine is not a de-tuned GSX-R.
Based on the 2005 GSX-R750 engine architecture, the GSX-S powerplant employs unique valve timing and lift, plus reshaped intake and exhaust ports. This, along with 8-hole fine-mist fuel injectors set at a different angle in the dual throttle bodies, results in greater low- and midrange power delivery and a claimed 11 mpg improvement in fuel efficiency.
I bought this bike almost 2 months ago, almost got 900 miles on it now. I love it. I've owned a DRZ 350 and a ninja 250. But I've never really rode a bike with similar power. If you're only in your first few years of riding and never had a supersport I promise this has as much power as you could want. Like Chase says it is LITTLE slow back and forth but in a corner you feel in complete control and locked in. 90% of my riding is up in the mountains and canyons by my house and it's perfect for me. I CAN get the front wheel to pop up in 2nd gear over 8000, no clutch. Speed shifting on this bike is awesome. I don't love the seating position for sure. I'm 6'4" so that will always be a problem but something is screwy between the handlebars and seating position. My back starts to hurt after 45 min of riding. I have taken it over 148mph and still felt great (besides wind of course). From reviews I've read the fz09 gets out of control at 115.. Great bike for the price if you're questioning getting supersport but not positive you want to risk that much yet. Mirrors fucking suck for sure.
chaseontwowheels can you stop talking about how you feel and start talking about the bikes features?
It has way more hp and torque over the FZ07 you aren’t reving it. It’s just more smooth and stable and balanced different.
I love mine but my bars were switched to dirt bike bars.
People say he is biased when it comes to Yamaha, but for this review, constantly comparing it to the FZ-07 is appropriate since this was Suzukis competitor for it. And if you watch other review videos, he has paid plenty of compliments to several of non Yamaha bikes.
In my own experience, I was always a Honda guy. But after I test rode the FZ-07, I was sold. It is a fantastic bike, which is why it is killing it as far as naked bikes go.
Wtf are you talking about!? FZ07 competition was the SV650!! They are both twin motors. Do you know anything about bikes!?
Your reviews are awful - you ride around for a few minutes on really boring roads, and never discuss handling, braking, performance etc because you never test any of that stuff. You just ride in a straight line on boring roads on go "oh yeah no don't really like this bike".
Chris Doms It's a first ride. The video is created to give people an understanding of what a person's thoughts are the first time they ride it. If you went to a dealership and test rode one of these models this is what you would experience. That is what my goal is with these videos. Sorry you don't find it helpful.
***** Chris Doms 10:28 lol
I should have known something was up in the first 10 seconds of the video. But half way through when you said it has 4 miles on the tach you lost a truck load of credibility.
I like the look of it, very angular and contemporary but not so modern that its looks will age, and there will be plenty of useable power in that 750 motor
Ya you pretty much touched on it. Those bikes have been sold in Europe for a long time as a comfortable commuter that you can have fun with. But when it comes out see if you can get your hands on the 1000. Theres alot of hype about those.
Good review dude!
Oh man, I misread the title, thought you reviewed the GSXR 750, in Europe this model is called GSR 750, nwm, great review and keep up with the good work, greetings from Croatia ;)
I just bought this bike yesterday and I have to say I am inlove with it, it could be that im little bias but i like to think its a great bike. I have ridden a fz-09 and in my OPINION the s750's smooth engine with the stiffer suspension is not below the FZ-09 class. What I hated about the FZ-09 is that the power delivery right when you open the throttle is so sudden that the inadequate suspension would become so evident. I know so many people that swear on the FZ-09s but the s750 is not outclassed by the FZ-09 and honestly to me the s750 was a better purchase because to improve the suspension on the fz-09 would be about 2k but the biggest problem with the s750 is the out dated brakes and how they felt which you can fix or atleast improve significantly with better pads.
Wreath review Chase! Thanks for taking the time to keep us informed about all the different new bikes out there.
Naked bikes are not supposed to feel like supermotos... It's like wanting the feeling of a supersport when riding a cruiser..
i would disagree. i had that supermoto feeling on a FJ-09 and that's a much bigger bike than this one.
***** keep in mind though, that bike was specifically designed for supermoto style riding position, and it's almost the only bike (except for the hypermotard, rivale etc) that was designed specifically for that.
Chase you have to ride a FZ09 if you get a chance do it!
***** FJ-09 is more of a adventure touring bike, it's designed to do both light off road and on road, so was supermotos. GSX S750 is a street fighter kind of thing, which means it's basically a naked sportbike, so it'll ride like a road bike. I will say tho, i hate when manufacturers these day detune engines in a streetfighter, it was meant to be a naked supersport, plus inline 4 engines r not good at torque, even when u down tune all the highend out of it u'll just get an engine with not enough torque u want and no highend at all.
***** No it isn't. The MT-09 (FJ-09 round there) is smaller than this GSR, I know it, I own one and before that I tested the Yamaha. It's hard as a rock and the fueling felt awful. That's why I bought the Suzuki and not the Yamaha. Yes, it's quite a lot faster than this Suz, torquier and sportier, but on a day-to-day basis, this is just better (wears you less). And just remember that the FJ-07 doesn't compete with this one, but with the SV650/Gladius. Cheers!
really like these test rides!!! keep em coming
I like your new videos. I feel like you and this channel have grown a lot; I’d love for you to revisit this Suzuki and give it an actual review
this is a great bike.. we had over here for over 4 years.. its a great bike.. the fun is over 65000rpm.. we called GSR !!! gsx-s is only for the u.s.a..! its go round bends track twisty it can do it all..!!! it do need mods.. i think its a great bike.. i sold my mt 09 to buy this.. and kills a monters any day..!
I hate to give you advice because you are, after all, chase on 2 wheels, but really you should stick to talking about the bikes that you've ridden and not so much about the ones that you haven't. Anyone can guess about what a bike is like to ride that they haven't actually ridden. Stick to talking about the bike that you are actually on, ideally.
I am only watching your videos to see what you think about bikes that I have ridden and reviewed myself, and this really strikes me as funny that we agree in some ways about the same bike and completely disagree in others. How do wide bars reduce your sense of control "wait, that's not the right word....I just don't like it". Wide bars increase your control, narrow clip-ons decrease it, significantly. You're just used to narrow clip-ons. what I would have hoped that you had picked up in comparing the FZ6R and the Gixxfighter is that it has significantly more power even though it has a similar powerband, but without a major hit in handling. Please do not worry about bikes that you have never actually ridden when talking about bikes in your demos.
As far as what bikes are ideal in the twisties, ideal for first-buyers, ideal for starting-riders...those are completely different issues. But I agree the FZ6R is an excellent starter bike while 300s are just too slow even for beginners especially for first-time buyers. The real issue with this bike is whether it is too powerful for a starter bike because it is a good bike but not *that* much faster than a FZ6R or FZ7 (though it has a much better powerband than an FZ7 and far better brakes).
I really think this is an excellent first-bike.
And a bike on which most riders could easily learn to ride.
It is hardly overpowering either in terms of weight or power.
But it is not a supersport. But that is ok. Very few riders really can handle a supersport right off the bat, or even want one. Very few riders need to or even want to pull high lean-angles in the corners on the street and this bike is an excellent complement to the Gixxer 600 and 750 not to mention the Gladius and V-strom and SV650.. even better if it had ABS. I even agree with the whole "nakedness" but it is fine at casual speeds.
Is there not a break-in period for these bikes that you do first rides on?
Some of the bikes at mountain motorsports are pre-owned but I'm sure they would be able to take care of them if something were to ever happen they are a pretty large dealership!
Yes there is. Which makes his review pointless...
Yeah, he just fucking ignores them.
Lots 'o luck to the poor fuck who purchases these bikes, heh.
That's why I bought mine new with 0 miles on it. No way I'd take a chance on a bike that was redlined / thrashed or taken on a "demo" ride for TH-cam before it's been properly broken in by a real rider.
Comparing a 2 cylinder Yamaha to a 4 cylinder Suzuki.. of course the power is delivered different
I don't know if this bike delivers on the torque and grunt, but your opinion is completely useless because you are too low on the revs all the time, you never even got to feel what kind of power this bike actually has... kinda useless review man
In europe is simply called GSR-750, bought mine new last summer, but it has been avaible in the market since 2011. I like it...
does this bike have an upright seating position?
Power modes are in our wrist chase
I purchased a 2022 model and I very happy with this bike. Definitely must have changed the tuning on this motorcycle because the power doesn't start at 7000 - 8000rpm.
Only change I made is the normal slip on upgrade and a bigger windscreen.
your first rides are getting better and better bro, keep up the good work :)
thanks for the honest review going to look at one tomorrow so this really helped set the expectation
I love that bike with a passion!
You might as well go ahead and get the one with the R behind the GSX! That bike is even better take my word for it ;) lol
HAHA maybe so...
Mr. Dirt-Lovin Your channel trailer makes me feel like I'm watching a preview to another movie while I'm at the movies hahaha! It's good though!
LMAO thats what I was going for! Thanks man!
Mr. Dirt-Lovin lol no prob it's awesome!
Great review as always chase I hope the issue with your bike is being taken care of soon.
Your reviews sound like a guy that knows nothing about the technical side of a bike. Just your personal opinions about comfort and looks.
so...a review then? ;-)
What I would like to know is, there is a guy on youtube "porkipix" where he is on a track with his r6 and a guy on a gsr 750 is staying in front of him and he doesn't seem to be able to catch him. I know chase wasnt a fan of this bike, but I got one a little over a month ago because I got like an insane deal on a hold over. Anyway, I sure would like to know what that rider did to his gsr 750 to be able to do that. I am planning to gear my bike down a bit as I know others that did it that felt it really woke the bike up.
what qualifies your opinion as valid?
Because it's an opinion, and he rides motorbikes?
You can't possibly have a legitimately invalid opinion about motorbikes if you ride motorbikes.
This dude is definitely a yamaha fan.. he always bashes any other bike except a yamaha.. he always compares other bikes to all yamahas..
gsxr 750 all day. if you want more comfort raise your handle bars and drive in other mode. A,B,C.
Wow his newer reviews are better then this. Wow its upright so very upright. Lol at 6:40 bliping the throttle and complaining about power.
Did you get the Holly2.0 issue fixed yet? I'd like to see more of that bike
You know he won't stay down too long that's his job he has to revive her!
You really need to put on at least a few dozen miles before making so many conclusions. And in case you think I'm a butt-hurt Suzuki fan boy, I've never owned a Suzuki in my life. I'm a Yamaha fan boy. :P
Review a damn 2018 and make it unbiased. Jesus. I have a 2014 fz09 and I am trading it in next week. The brakes are garbage. Bike is beyond unstable above 100mph, and you can get good 1/4 times on it because the goddamn front wheel does not stay down. Also the ergos are way too god damn upright. Quit being such a Yammie fan boy
Awesome video Chase! Digging the bike forsure.
I just bought one of these but I have a question regarding the coolant temperature, when sitting on a stop light the temperature reaches the 5 bars, but as soon as I start moving it goes down to 3 bars, is this normal or is it overheating?
Sad is that too many people take your opinion as a judgement and by that miss out on a good bike !!!
Make a real checklist and try to be more objective !!!
1:15 it's not suzukis answer to the fz09! the gsx s 750 is beeing build since 2011! the gsx s is way cheaper than the fz09 and is a completely different motorbike , the fz09 is supermoto ' ish with a to soft front fork! the gsx s 750 is more nakedbike oriented
1st like 1st comment!
Chase your the best, it's interesting watching your videos... Everyday I always wonder what to see next on your Chanel 😊👌👌👌
Which one do you reccomend? This bike or the street triple?
Which bike is better for a "newer' rider? The Yamaha FZ07 or the Suzuki GSX-S750? Thanks!
From what you said about torque on this bike, it is definitely not competing with the FZ-09 in that aspect. Maybe just because it's a naked upright it could attract some of the market, but if you were to compare the two in power, FZ-09 would crush that thing. You gotta ride it man!
Suzuki seen the Success for the FZ09/07 and NOW wants to give us their 2011 warmed over model. Yayyy
Do you know the difference between the gsx s750 and the gsr750?
any ideas where I can download electrical schematics for gsxs /gsr 2015 .
Would you pick this bike over the sv650 you started on?
I would chose the Suzuki S750 all day every day. So how is the engine braking? Does it need more grunt? 11.1 quarter mile.... hmmm slow tins't it... 140 top speed, what a dog. How are the brakes? How does it actually corner?...you know, in turns. Some of us like smooth predictable great all around, fast motorcycles. Please you really do not have to only compare it to other motorcycle. Honestly, intense torque has a cool factor but will this bike be sluggish on any level in any situation Chase? Chase, i really like your reviews but not so much this one.
is there any difference between gsx-s750 and grs750?
some call it gsx some call gsr.. is iy just the name?
Hey Chase are you using a rig of some sort for those panning shots showing off the bike in the beginning on the video? If so what is it? The cinematography is great man!
Would you recommend this bike for short people?
small.5.3 nope.5.7 just might.
With the lack of power and torque, do you feel this could be a newby bike for those of us bigger and taller riders looking for an upright seating position on a bike?
