Just beginning to look at buying my first bike, so watching videos like this are quite helpful. Spicy - I also like that you change up the camera perspective - you mount it on the back, mount on the front, and you show lots of starts and stops to let us hear the engine, the shifting, etc...brilliant. Thanks for making and posting this !
spicy110 sure is everything you said in your review. Unfortunately they couldn't register it until Monday. Do you know which Yoshi can was on the test bike ?
Nigel Fisher I bought a hold over gsr 750 partly cuz of Spicy's review too. I would of considered waiting for a hold over of this model, but since this new model came out I got my for a steal. I got it new for the same price as a ninja 300 or r3. But in the US where I am the gsr was always called the gsx-s and only came out like a year before the 1000. I was a bit disappointed at first (I was and I wasn't cuz I thought I would want to gear it down before I would like it and was expecting to do that), but after about 700 miles on it, the bike really woke up. Some of the reviews I see where someone doesn't like a bike I wonder if it is because it isn't broke in yet so it feels like a dog. But yeah here it originally was 7999 US Dollars and I got the hold over for 4999.
Similar thing for me too. The GSR750 has been available for a number of years in Australia. One dealer was running 1 out for $9990. The NEW GSX S750 are $12,990 ride away. So I nearly bought the GSR, but I wasn't sure after watching Spicy's video on the R. By the time this video came out the R that was on special was gone. Then one of my local dealers bought 3 GSX S 's that were used at the press launch, with around 400kms on the clock. They were selling these for $10,800 on the road, so over $2k saving. I'm 6 2"', the bike was everything Spicy said. The bikes, gearbox, suspension and that engine sound. I felt so at home on it. I've only hard it for 6 days, so I was using it for my daily commute, that was until this morning. I managed to get it out on Fathers Day. I did my usual mountain run, loving it more and more. I agree, it better now that I've got about 1,000kms on it (check your chain). Things can only get better. I've ordered a new muffler and can't wait to get this on.
I rode this bike yesterday and have to agree totally with your review. Only picky thing I found was slight lack of initial bite from the front brake, but still very powerful. Much too good to be labelled a commuter bike, I liked it so much I bought it. The biking press need to stop comparing this to its competition and review the bike on its own merit like you did, it might not be as bonkers as an MT09 but not everyone wants that, this bike is a bloody good piece of kit
+Craig Halpin thanks dude I agree with you too. That's how I do all my reviews I don't read any reviews or listen to the media. I just swing a leg over the thing and ride it and say how it feels, and I really mean feels you get a feeling of a bike quite quickly as it tells you what it does and doesn't like and what it's best at.
Here is the problem with your thinking, people are going to spend a lot of money on a bike, they would like to know how it fares to the competition, they would like to get the most bang for their buck. If bike A, B , C all look similar(Naked) and are priced similar, and make similar power, *THEY WILL BE COMPARED*
Professional testers review bikes day in day out, and often just select the most exciting. At the end of the day they just hand them back and do not have to live with them. I tested the Suzuki, MT-09 and Z900 and of the three preferred the Suzuki. The MT-09 felt toy like, the fueling was not great and it was quite unsettled at speed. The Suzuki felt much more planted and really handled and turned in well. The Z900, surprisingly I found it uncomfortable and the leg room was too tight.
Great review Spicy, I recently bought a Gsr750 2012 here in New Zealand, only reason I didn't get the new gsx-s750 is that it was $5000 more, pretty substantial! It's a really fun bike to ride. 750 is a good size, can get higher up in the revs for some excitement when needed, has very nice feuling, no snatchy throttle. Also light and nimble, sweet bike.
I rode the 1000 last year when Suzuki did their cafe tour thing and it was lovely. On the forums owners complain a lot about the throttle being twitchy but I never noticed it. I think even the 1000 I rode was averaging 53MPG being hammered on test rides. I almost bought one but decided I wanted something a bit more practical for touring.
Thank you so much for doing this review. I did my cbt 4 years ago and lost interest in biking, but now I have my full bike licence, and I have been looking at reviews and they don’t come near as good as your video was. Thank you I think I know what bike I want now 😂
Now in 2023 there's a lot of talk about the BMW M1000R , The Aprilia Tuono, the Ducati Streetfighter V4, etc. I'd rather have this GSX-S than those for a lot of reasons. Obviously, the highest end nakeds are marketed to people with more wherewithal than me, but I think I'd be able to enjoy the Suzuki more since I mostly just commute.
Took a test ride on the GSX-S750 and there are just a few things I would've liked to see. Adjustable clutch lever. Increase the RPM limit by 250 because with the shorter gearing it can sometimes feel like you're running out of the revs too quickly. And reduce the weight just a bit. Oh and maybe adjustable rebound on the dampers. Overall it's much much better than the GSR 750. Oh and the "shouting" you get from the airbox at 5000+ RPMs is sweet.
Hi Spicy. just a quick question. Now that you've ridden, and gained more experience of, quite a lot of different bikes, are there any of the earlier bike reviews that you'd change your opinion on or wish you could re-ride/do?
I'm 6'2 the gsx s 750 was too small felt like I was sat over the tank and bars so my weight wasn't right.. ordered the z900 performance.. felt like I was sat in the tank which was much more natural.
@@anxiousappliance Hi since then Ive had the z900 and a z1000sx and now nothing due to family commitments 🤯 thinking an older bike next maybe a zx9r or gsx1400 👍
Nice to see someone review it for what it is and not just say it's not as good as the mt09 or the triumph speed triple I bought one , had the Gsr 750 before , enough power for the road , comfy enough for a tank of juice distance 😉
I test rode one. Only gripe was that the tachometer isn't easy to read and you can't afford to spend too much time looking down at it when the world is coming towards you sooooo faaaast!
I own two bikes that have been out of the market for a few years now... 2009 Yamaha fz 6 n and 2012 honda cbr 600 f ABS. I like both very much. The engine of the fz6 is quite smoother, without any sort of vibrations, and also gets less hot in the traffic. The Honda on the other hand, has a more refined handling and brakes, and also is much more beautiful. I do not know if you have riding experience with these bikes but if you had to give away one of them for the Suzuki, would you do it? Which one?
Good review. Talking of prison speeds the ZX10RR I Rode at Kawasaki world a couple of week ago. That thing is a beast. Tuck out the Z900 and Z1000R as well but both bikes felt a little soleless, even compared to my XSR9.
Nice ride review, man! Just got back from a demo ride on this one. I loved it! I even preferred it to the 1000, even though the 1000 has really nice components on it. I just wish you could get ABS on the red one. (The Suzuki reps told me that only the black Z model gets ABS...) I think that with some basic mods (exhaust, shorty levers, tail tidy, integrated signals, frame sliders, etc.) this bike would be the perfect streetbike. I'd probably pick this over the MT-09, actually. Even though I love the triple sound and character, I found the 4 on the GSX-S 750 to be just fine for street use, and plenty fast when you wind it out. I bet you could get 130HP out of these with basic mods!!!
Yeah, I thought so. It was a 2018 in red, btw. I even noticed the sensors on both wheels...(These might be TC sensors that measure front/rear wheel speed) They said "Oh, we swap out wheels all the time on different bikes, so maybe these wheels are from the one with ABS." Kinda irritating... Why would it only be an option on the black one? I hope that they make it an option, otherwise, I'd get something else. ABS has saved me so many times and I'll never get a daily rider without it.
Great vids as always, Picked up one of these in black and blue from Haslemere a few weeks ago and as my 1st big bike after passing my test your review fills me with confidence that i made a good choice, absolutely loving it!!! keep up the good work and good luck with the job hunting
Hey Spicy. Four years on and still a great review. Thanks. Is it still the middle weight do it all bike to buy? I have test ridden one and loved it. Super smooth and quick if you ask it to be. Would get a small screen for the wind. Looking to trade and the base MT09 is about stg1450 more than an almost new GSX, stg700 more than new. The Mt 09 is hyped up with the new look, amazing tech, adjustable suspenders and one wheel salutes all the way. Still tempted by the simple thrashable steady through corners GSX. Classic GSXR growl under pressure. I mainly ride in the city and absolute speed is not possible. No intention to do wheel stands. Also get into some gnarly winding roads which are my favourite, pushing my CBR500R out of corners. MT07 an option but suspension too cheap for my needs. What are you thoughts GSX vs the MT09? Still a great little bike in 2021-22?
Personally i think theyre a great looking bike, i like this one in the blue colourscheme myself. Only thing that puts me off is the fact of it being an inline 4 compared to a twin. Are the levels of powere and torque still there at mid range rpm, or do you really have to wring its neck?
Am looking to go and do my direct access I love the look of this bike am 32 and the last time I ride a bike I was about 13 it was a 250cc dirt bike is this a good choice for a first bike
Hi Daniel I'm 47 and passed my bike test before my daughter's 1st birthday and i hadnt riden a bike since passing, she's 20 now and I brought the gsx s750 2 years ago, it's perfect for first time bike, under 5k reves it's very docile, great bike.
great review I've just returned to biking after 24 years out so started back on a 250 I'm already finding it a little slow! I must say that you're review has completely sold this bike to me so I'm going to save some money and get a secondhand example next summer cheers for the video 👍
spicy110 thanks for your reply it sure looks a smart bike I'm a bit vertically challenged (short arse!) at 5ft 8" would this be ok for me? many thanks 😃
This really is an excellent video. I'm looking to get my first big bike in the coming months. From your experience do you think this would be ok? The fact it has a smooth throttle in the lower RPMs, with nice handling and ride makes me think this is definitely worth a test ride.
Hi, new to your videos and subscribed as love them. Love the bike and wondered is this a good first bike for a 40 year old who has just passed his full test and only looking to ride in the summer ?
I bagged myself the { z phantom } awesome in matt black/gun metal grey this bike is a serious tool scrathing on scottish A&B roads is where this hooligan bike belongs you can commute on it too but its happiest above 6000rpm where it leaves 3 cylinder lady bikes in the dust I used to ride a 1200 bandit this is the naked bike to buy its all things too all men
Was kind of hoping when they updated the gsr 750 that they would have put in slightly more aggressive cams. No, not like the gsxr, but somewhere in the middle between the gsr and gsxr 750. I think it would have really helped it be competition to the fz 09 in that it would be providing something different than the fz 09. The mild cams they use for torque don't exactly make the most sense since the fz 09. You are gimping the top end of a 4 cylinder, which is what they are good at, and trying to compete with the fz09 in an area that it will always be at a disadvantage being a 4 cylinder instead of a 3 (meaning torque). But just a thought. I still like it and would get one down the line. I just got a hold over gsr (called gsx-s always in the US though) for an absolute steal. I got it literally for half the price of a base model street triple new. Love motorcycles, but I will always try to get hold over and if possible, models that just got replaced by a new model, since you can get great deals. It does also mean though that you tend to get the slightly less popular ones though to get the best deals. They dropped the price of street triple 675 since the new model came out, but not near as much
I am aware of the condition issues with the MT range, sadly as with the MT it looks fine but only time could tell about that. For that reason a owners review would be better as I only get a few hours on the bike. However I can say I have not heard of any issues with Suzuki like I have with the MT range.
@@spicy110 had it out for a drive the bike is crazy smooth and doesnt seem acceleration crazy on throttle compared to my mt07 fair to say I'm contemplating trading my mt in gsx sounds sweet with lextek exhaust the whole bike seems quality compared to the mt as you can tell by my photo mines has every after market part possible on it even custom seat and cowl
Excellent review, I've got a lot of stuff still to test out before I make a decision on what to go for. I have seen Haslemere will be getting the GSXR1000R for demo very soon, so that'll be done...
Hi Scott W, if you want a comfy bike for taller riders you should try the Honda African Twin Adventure Sports. I'm 6'1" and struggled to flat foot it with the seat on the highest setting!
can you perhaps do some reviews on smaller bikes, like bikes that someone can get when they have done their A2. that way it'll a nice broad range of reviews :)
If you are you are able to control yourself and show restraint yes. But it is a lot of bike if you have never ridden bikes before and are likely to get "over enthusiastic" haha
Hi. Cool review as usual. Controversial question: how can the best Suzuki all rounder be a naked bike when a faired model like the gsx650f and gsx1250 will do touring without modifications ? B)
Trouble is, the gsx650f isn't available new anymore. I've love mine, but still ache for the gsxs750. Not sure how I'm going to be able to fit bags though.
fish and banana It's the Z900 now and I rode it couple week ago at Kawasaki world in Kent. It was ok but didn't feel great. Not a patch on the XSR9 I already own. The ZX10RR on the other hand, what a bike.
I just got a hold over gsr 750 cuz it was such a good deal (in the US it was already called the gsx-s 750), but I just wanted to say as someone who is on the shorter side (5'7), I don't have the wind issue I expected. I was planning on getting a windshield or something, but now I don't know if I will bother unless I just find something that I just really like the looks of.
+Melvyn Kirkpatrick I have not ridden the 2017 1000. But I have ridden a couple of 2016 Suzuki bikes claimed to have "starchy throttles" and tbh I think people were being a bit picky and making it out to be a bigger deal that it was. Any snatchyness is only in take up and can be accounted for. As for this bike it's not something that stood out and defo less than the 2016 bikes.
M.R Raghav great selection of bikes. I'm the same height as you and I'm considering the bike you listed. Have you had a chance to test ride any of them? Do you have a favourite?
I'm a yammi man BUT, I really do like it. the problems with all gixxers is height I'm quite tall, quite a problem with suzuki. I really do like this one. HHHMMMMM!!!!!
DON'T tell them NOT to but the gsr750, otherwise mine may not find a new owner :-( I prefer the blue 1, didn't mention the price & a few other bits, ie: petal discs blah blah blah. but sure is a good bike.
Anybody know what these are like for tall riders as I'm 6 foot 1 and I'm thinking of getting one in the new year also what's the top speed in mph ....cheers
Boon Doggle I’m going with the Suzuki because it doesn’t have ride by wire, rider modes and it’s much easier and cheaper to put an after market slip on pipe. It has more power and a better sound. The 07 is a great bike. If you choose that bike you still win.
Great review, you talk about things that are important to me. New subscriber here! I had an MT-07, a Street Triple 675 and now I have a 2017 Suzuki SV650. I'm a little obsessed with slick gearboxes and low vibration engines. For me, the SV650 has the best gearbox of these 3 bikes. And it has a smooth engine for a twin, even better than the Triple, because of it's lower frequency vibrations. Could you tell me how this new GSX-S750 compares with the SV650 in confort (position, suspension and seat), engine vibration and gearbox quality? Thanks!
Thank you for the reply Usman! I'm from Brazil.. Suzuki does not offer test rides here... Here in my city, I can only test drive Triumph bikes. My main concern about the GSX-S750 is comfort. You wouldn't believe how bad the roads are. If it's stiffer and sportier than the new SV, like the Street Triple, it would be a deal breaker for me. But miracles can happen.. If Suzuki offers me a test drive, (maybe because I bought the new SV650) I'll let you know.
+Antonio Tostes Jr I have a review of the sv650 but what I would has is this is far better it just feels like so much more bike, the suspension on the sv is fine but not as refined feeling as this. Still love the sv depends what you want from it really. But if it was be money no object I would have the 750
exactly what spicy said. GSXS750 feels more like a real motorcycle where the SV650 is just like a learner kind of bike. I can assure you that you're not going to regret your purchase if you bought the gsxs750, the suspension and comfort is all tuned to street use so it should not be really that much of a big deal. Lastly that sound tho, everytime you find something negative about the bike, rev it up and you're gonna forgive it. th-cam.com/video/R716MIt6H1Q/w-d-xo.html just have a listen to this
drove quite a few japanese types the kawasaki z800 and z1000 only thing i can honestly tell iss this bike is fairings and modemwise only close to the 2015 cb1000r
why don't these bikes just make the tail longer and have a cargo rack, so the number plate is naturally further back, instead of the weird number plate arm thing which seems very common? A lot of 'big bikes' have lousy luggage caring ability 'out of the box'.
Just beginning to look at buying my first bike, so watching videos like this are quite helpful. Spicy - I also like that you change up the camera perspective - you mount it on the back, mount on the front, and you show lots of starts and stops to let us hear the engine, the shifting, etc...brilliant.

Test rode one today based on this video. Ended up buying it. Thanks Spicy
+Nigel Fisher it's a fantastic bike isn't it!
spicy110 sure is everything you said in your review. Unfortunately they couldn't register it until Monday. Do you know which Yoshi can was on the test bike ?

Similar thing for me too. The GSR750 has been available for a number of years in Australia. One dealer was running 1 out for $9990. The NEW GSX S750 are $12,990 ride away. So I nearly bought the GSR, but I wasn't sure after watching Spicy's video on the R. By the time this video came out the R that was on special was gone. Then one of my local dealers bought 3 GSX S 's that were used at the press launch, with around 400kms on the clock. They were selling these for $10,800 on the road, so over $2k saving. I'm 6 2"', the bike was everything Spicy said. The bikes, gearbox, suspension and that engine sound. I felt so at home on it. I've only hard it for 6 days, so I was using it for my daily commute, that was until this morning. I managed to get it out on Fathers Day. I did my usual mountain run, loving it more and more. I agree, it better now that I've got about 1,000kms on it (check your chain). Things can only get better. I've ordered a new muffler and can't wait to get this on.
Glad it aint a Harley..lol

Craig Halpin just bought myself one aswell.. going to collwct on tuesday.. then got a yoshi slip on put on.. 🖒
Here is the problem with your thinking, people are going to spend a lot of money on a bike, they would like to know how it fares to the competition, they would like to get the most bang for their buck. If bike A, B , C all look similar(Naked) and are priced similar, and make similar power, *THEY WILL BE COMPARED*
third tips or comparing too much can distort ur preferences negatively.

Best GSX S750 review out there in the universe
Now in 2023 there's a lot of talk about the BMW M1000R , The Aprilia Tuono, the Ducati Streetfighter V4, etc. I'd rather have this GSX-S than those for a lot of reasons. Obviously, the highest end nakeds are marketed to people with more wherewithal than me, but I think I'd be able to enjoy the Suzuki more since I mostly just commute.

I'm buying one when the weather gets nice again. I just hope the power is there I don't want to get bored with it but it's a beautiful bike
+Ryan Sanchez test one out I'm sure you will find it has plenty of poke!
Good review. 750cc engine has always been a good size for any application and I think that in this segment it it is well priced.
I have one in red and it takes 1400 km, it is wonderful.
I added side bags and tank bag Givi
I love my 2007 GSR 600 som maybe i upgrade to this in like 1 Year
Great review Spicy. This could definitely be the bike I'm looking for. Like you say, something that sits in the middle. Cheers.👍🏻
I'm 6'2 the gsx s 750 was too small felt like I was sat over the tank and bars so my weight wasn't right.. ordered the z900 performance.. felt like I was sat in the tank which was much more natural.
I like over the tank - puts you in an active control position. The ergos on the bike aren't extreme though - seems just right.
@@anxiousappliance Hi since then Ive had the z900 and a z1000sx and now nothing due to family commitments 🤯 thinking an older bike next maybe a zx9r or gsx1400 👍
Sounds lovely! Nice bike. Interested to try one out.
Nice to see someone review it for what it is and not just say it's not as good as the mt09 or the triumph speed triple
I bought one , had the Gsr 750 before , enough power for the road , comfy enough for a tank of juice distance 😉
+Dave Gill that's the angle of all my reviews
Long day at work this video is just what I needed to see when getting home. Nice one Spicy
Thanks dude time to chill!
I test rode one. Only gripe was that the tachometer isn't easy to read and you can't afford to spend too much time looking down at it when the world is coming towards you sooooo faaaast!
You'll always be able to play and push more the gsxs 750 than a z900 or mt 09
Bought it.
That is one beautiful machine sir!
If it’s possible and when you got time could do a updated review on this bike please?
Love GSX, love mine! Agree is differente with gsr, i had it also...do you have a video comparing them?
+Diego Mussio Zanotta I have videos on both but not a direct comparison no 🙂
Would you recommend this as a first bike? I’m taking my MOD 2 in the new year and absolutely love the look of this bike!

The Mt 09 is hyped up with the new look, amazing tech, adjustable suspenders and one wheel salutes all the way. Still tempted by the simple thrashable steady through corners GSX. Classic GSXR growl under pressure. I mainly ride in the city and absolute speed is not possible. No intention to do wheel stands. Also get into some gnarly winding roads which are my favourite, pushing my CBR500R out of corners. MT07 an option but suspension too cheap for my needs. What are you thoughts GSX vs the MT09? Still a great little bike in 2021-22?
I've been singing "Watch me ride" all day I love the unique videos and skits! Keep up the hilarious and amazing videos! love you!
+Matthew Cowan thanks dude it's appreciated
Personally i think theyre a great looking bike, i like this one in the blue colourscheme myself.
Only thing that puts me off is the fact of it being an inline 4 compared to a twin. Are the levels of powere and torque still there at mid range rpm, or do you really have to wring its neck?
these are plenty fast enough for the road
Am looking to go and do my direct access I love the look of this bike am 32 and the last time I ride a bike I was about 13 it was a 250cc dirt bike is this a good choice for a first bike
If you have self-control and are willing to learn progressively sure!
Hi Daniel I'm 47 and passed my bike test before my daughter's 1st birthday and i hadnt riden a bike since passing, she's 20 now and I brought the gsx s750 2 years ago, it's perfect for first time bike, under 5k reves it's very docile, great bike.
great review I've just returned to biking after 24 years out so started back on a 250 I'm already finding it a little slow! I must say that you're review has completely sold this bike to me so I'm going to save some money and get a secondhand example next summer cheers for the video 👍
+Jason Govier always good to hear of someone coming back to biking. This would be a great all rounder for all needs foe sure.
spicy110 thanks for your reply it sure looks a smart bike I'm a bit vertically challenged (short arse!) at 5ft 8" would this be ok for me? many thanks 😃
jasee gee I'm 5'8 and I'm able to flat foot no problem
Asphalt Cowboy thanks for your reply I'm also 5"8 so that's very reassuring to know! may I ask your opinion of the bike ?
jasee gee no problem .. I love the bike it's fun and comfortable with a good amount of power. .but planning on upgrading to the 1000
Your reviews are maturing well. Great job.
Worth upgrading from z650?
I had a 2022 gsxs750 it definitely is a good looking bike but the Mt09/Fz09 has it beat with comfort and performance
This really is an excellent video. I'm looking to get my first big bike in the coming months. From your experience do you think this would be ok? The fact it has a smooth throttle in the lower RPMs, with nice handling and ride makes me think this is definitely worth a test ride.
thinking of getting this or a 2017 gsxr750 and adding a set of LSL bars. Great review Spicy!
Which is the best GSXS 750cc or GSXS Z 1000cc ? 🏍
Hi, new to your videos and subscribed as love them. Love the bike and wondered is this a good first bike for a 40 year old who has just passed his full test and only looking to ride in the summer ?
Great camera footage by the exhaust and rear tire , do that on all your reviews !
I bagged myself the { z phantom } awesome in matt black/gun metal grey this bike is a serious tool scrathing on scottish A&B roads is where this hooligan bike belongs you can commute on it too but its happiest above 6000rpm where it leaves 3 cylinder lady bikes in the dust I used to ride a 1200 bandit this is the naked bike to buy its all things too all men
You had me in stitches with the 'rather than just the crack' comment - priceless! Great review, I've just added this bike to my shortlist!
That was good, thanks. Be interested to hear your thoughts as a comparison to the z900 if you ever review that bike please.
a wonderful machine.
What do you plan to do on your vacation?
Well, drive all the way to England, just to testride a bike ;)
Great review....... My next bike for sure 😉
People will write books about the great Baby Bell fight of 17!
need to do the 1000cc
I'm sure hes done the GSX S1000 ?
That was a darn good video.
What no secret lemons this time? Cool bike.
+Chris Esser 🍋
Oh a Suzuki. Spicy
Great review. Really enjoyed it
yes all good and well but what would Cecil Pomposarse the third and 2 fifths say ?
+RHOK he might be out on the 4th of July 😜
Was kind of hoping when they updated the gsr 750 that they would have put in slightly more aggressive cams. No, not like the gsxr, but somewhere in the middle between the gsr and gsxr 750. I think it would have really helped it be competition to the fz 09 in that it would be providing something different than the fz 09. The mild cams they use for torque don't exactly make the most sense since the fz 09. You are gimping the top end of a 4 cylinder, which is what they are good at, and trying to compete with the fz09 in an area that it will always be at a disadvantage being a 4 cylinder instead of a 3 (meaning torque). But just a thought. I still like it and would get one down the line. I just got a hold over gsr (called gsx-s always in the US though) for an absolute steal. I got it literally for half the price of a base model street triple new. Love motorcycles, but I will always try to get hold over and if possible, models that just got replaced by a new model, since you can get great deals. It does also mean though that you tend to get the slightly less popular ones though to get the best deals. They dropped the price of street triple 675 since the new model came out, but not near as much
Great review. I have the same bike, it’s perfect. Only loses points on outright sex appeal but for the price it’s brilliant.
Great review thanks Spicy. Like this bike, sorry just curious as to your height approx? thanks!
+Martyn Howarth 6'4
Hi spicy have u been out on new mt09 yet ? If so what Would say was the best mt09 or gsxs750 ?? Thanks
Nice one spicy as always keep it up
Away to test drive Hows the build quality as my mt and many others have problems with rusty swing arms
I am aware of the condition issues with the MT range, sadly as with the MT it looks fine but only time could tell about that. For that reason a owners review would be better as I only get a few hours on the bike. However I can say I have not heard of any issues with Suzuki like I have with the MT range.
@@spicy110 had it out for a drive the bike is crazy smooth and doesnt seem acceleration crazy on throttle compared to my mt07 fair to say I'm contemplating trading my mt in gsx sounds sweet with lextek exhaust the whole bike seems quality compared to the mt as you can tell by my photo mines has every after market part possible on it even custom seat and cowl
Excellent review, I've got a lot of stuff still to test out before I make a decision on what to go for. I have seen Haslemere will be getting the GSXR1000R for demo very soon, so that'll be done...
i predict honda will make a cb 750 in the r style this year.
Have you got any plans to test ride some Hondas soon, such as the NC750S etc?
I'm 6'4" as well, When is Suzuki going to make a bike like this for taller riders?
Sadly never, if they made a bike intended for someone of 6 foot 4 90% of the population couldn't ride it.
Hi Scott W, if you want a comfy bike for taller riders you should try the Honda African Twin Adventure Sports. I'm 6'1" and struggled to flat foot it with the seat on the highest setting!
Is it A2 restrictable?
+TheDonBro I will find out tomorrow for ya but I doubt it tbh
spicy110 thanks! Yeah the BHP is quite high tbf so might not be able to.
TheDonBro No. If it has more than 70kw it is not legal to be restricted to 35kw.
Mto7 next
there is just something about a yoshi pipe on a suzuki
can you perhaps do some reviews on smaller bikes, like bikes that someone can get when they have done their A2. that way it'll a nice broad range of reviews :)
+Kold Killer I have done a few, mto7 needs to be done for sure
Is it just the camera lens or are those front forks bent in, see it at 6.34
It will be the wide angle camera.
Decent first bike? (sorry if missed it in the video!)
If you are you are able to control yourself and show restraint yes. But it is a lot of bike if you have never ridden bikes before and are likely to get "over enthusiastic" haha
Hi. Cool review as usual. Controversial question: how can the best Suzuki all rounder be a naked bike when a faired model like the gsx650f and gsx1250 will do touring without modifications ? B)
+Nuno Lima it's just my opinion from my prospective. A naked fits in with the weekend warriors. not many of those guys are going to ride a 650f
Well I guess you have to take one for the team and head back to Haslemere Motorcycles to road test ALL the Suzuki range :)
Trouble is, the gsx650f isn't available new anymore. I've love mine, but still ache for the gsxs750. Not sure how I'm going to be able to fit bags though.
Nice bike that.
Do the Z800 next
fish and banana
say please .
fish and banana They discontinued them and replaced them with the z900
fish and banana It's the Z900 now and I rode it couple week ago at Kawasaki world in Kent. It was ok but didn't feel great. Not a patch on the XSR9 I already own. The ZX10RR on the other hand, what a bike.
huh... didnt know that, so 2017 onwards wont see any Z800 ?
I just got a hold over gsr 750 cuz it was such a good deal (in the US it was already called the gsx-s 750), but I just wanted to say as someone who is on the shorter side (5'7), I don't have the wind issue I expected. I was planning on getting a windshield or something, but now I don't know if I will bother unless I just find something that I just really like the looks of.
Is the snatchy throttle on the 2017 1000cc sorted out spicy?
+Melvyn Kirkpatrick I have not ridden the 2017 1000. But I have ridden a couple of 2016 Suzuki bikes claimed to have "starchy throttles" and tbh I think people were being a bit picky and making it out to be a bigger deal that it was. Any snatchyness is only in take up and can be accounted for. As for this bike it's not something that stood out and defo less than the 2016 bikes.
How is this bike for someone 6ft2? im heavily considering this, the mt09, truimph street triple S (RS if i have that extra few grand) maybe the z900.
+M.R Raghav as I say in the video I'm 6'4 so what I say is going to be the same for you pretty much
M.R Raghav great selection of bikes. I'm the same height as you and I'm considering the bike you listed. Have you had a chance to test ride any of them? Do you have a favourite?
I'm a yammi man BUT, I really do like it. the problems with all gixxers is height I'm quite tall, quite a problem with suzuki. I really do like this one. HHHMMMMM!!!!!
What do you use for the rear view camera mount, its very stable. Gopro clamp?
+Theandyaston no the drift handle bar clamp as it's a drift camera 🙂
+spicy110 Thank you 👍🏼
Please try a Yamaha Tracer 900 or 700
DON'T tell them NOT to but the gsr750, otherwise mine may not find a new owner :-(
I prefer the blue 1, didn't mention the price & a few other bits, ie: petal discs blah blah blah.
but sure is a good bike.
+Suznet 555 the reason I never really mention price is they can and do change. 🙂
yeah true, but the £rrp is a starting point, they do vary a bit with offers etc
How do you feel this compares to a 675 Street Triple?
Ohhh that is though! Tbh only ridden the triumph for 10 mins so my opinion is not very valid. Both awesome bikes but man hard to pick.
Cheers for the reply.
Curious how you drive on the left side but still use mph?
We use miles in England, and drive on the correct side of the road.
good review
Wow a Bike review by Derren Brown
haha had a few people say that more people say someone from the inbetweeners
@@spicy110 🤣🤣 Great review mate 👍
Anybody know what these are like for tall riders as I'm 6 foot 1 and I'm thinking of getting one in the new year also what's the top speed in mph ....cheers
I am 6 ft 4
Brilliant cheers as some bikes I look massive on , do you know the top speed ?? I rarely go over 90 anyway but I'm just curious
Did you think this bike had a cheap finish?
In places you can see money savings but it's all good solid stuff.
I have a question. This or Yamaha MT07 ?
Boon Doggle I’m going with the Suzuki because it doesn’t have ride by wire, rider modes and it’s much easier and cheaper to put an after market slip on pipe. It has more power and a better sound. The 07 is a great bike. If you choose that bike you still win.
@@motomookie8032 I actually have an MT07, just wondered if this would be an upgrade
Its crazy that the z900 weighs less then this bike
Great review, you talk about things that are important to me. New subscriber here!
I had an MT-07, a Street Triple 675 and now I have a 2017 Suzuki SV650.
I'm a little obsessed with slick gearboxes and low vibration engines.
For me, the SV650 has the best gearbox of these 3 bikes. And it has a smooth engine for a twin, even better than the Triple, because of it's lower frequency vibrations.
Could you tell me how this new GSX-S750 compares with the SV650 in confort (position, suspension and seat), engine vibration and gearbox quality?
Thanks!
Antonio Tostes Jr if you loved the sv650, you're gonna want to marry this one. just test ride one out and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the reply Usman!
I'm from Brazil.. Suzuki does not offer test rides here... Here in my city, I can only test drive Triumph bikes.
My main concern about the GSX-S750 is comfort. You wouldn't believe how bad the roads are.
If it's stiffer and sportier than the new SV, like the Street Triple, it would be a deal breaker for me.
But miracles can happen.. If Suzuki offers me a test drive, (maybe because I bought the new SV650) I'll let you know.
+Antonio Tostes Jr I have a review of the sv650 but what I would has is this is far better it just feels like so much more bike, the suspension on the sv is fine but not as refined feeling as this. Still love the sv depends what you want from it really. But if it was be money no object I would have the 750
exactly what spicy said. GSXS750 feels more like a real motorcycle where the SV650 is just like a learner kind of bike. I can assure you that you're not going to regret your purchase if you bought the gsxs750, the suspension and comfort is all tuned to street use so it should not be really that much of a big deal. Lastly that sound tho, everytime you find something negative about the bike, rev it up and you're gonna forgive it.
th-cam.com/video/R716MIt6H1Q/w-d-xo.html
just have a listen to this
Thank you Spicy. Seriously thinking about the GSX-S!!
Wait a sec, test rides are free?
Oohhh jeremy corbyn...OOHHH JEREMY CORBYN! 😆
this is a nice bike but the looks seem to look alot like the honda cb1000
drove quite a few japanese types the kawasaki z800 and z1000 only thing i can honestly tell iss this bike is fairings and modemwise only close to the 2015 cb1000r
That dog wanted to take your life
+Im Dead Silence might have wanted to nick the bike! Everyone does 😂
there's a lot of us riders that ain't 6 4
why don't these bikes just make the tail longer and have a cargo rack, so the number plate is naturally further back, instead of the weird number plate arm thing which seems very common? A lot of 'big bikes' have lousy luggage caring ability 'out of the box'.
A proper nickname: gSEX750
