Really enjoyed this comprehensive honest review of the Suzuki GSX-S 750. No annoying music intro's, no over exuberant comments during the video. A very relaxing view. Thank you!
That's very kind of you to say so, I'm happy that you enjoyed my video 😊
People in the know and who don't listen to nonsense haters about "needs technology update" know how sick these GSX-S bikes are. I have a 2018 GSX-S750Z and it's my fav bike I've ever had for general road use--- I keep up with liter bikes in the twisties and we're talking about skilled riders not people who don't know how to handle a liter bike. True that you can't really use all of the liter bike on the street but just pointing out the 750 handles amazing and the power is ample.
You're also not going to beat the induction noise and engine note. I actually dislike the sound of parallel twins-- even the KTM 890. I love V-twin sound of course-- I think the old school inline4 scream is also superior to the Yamaha inline 3.
The common complaints are weight... yet this thing handles better than my lighter SV650 and I keep up with fireblades and s1000rr's in group rides... the weight and aerodynamics actually cut thru wind better on the highway than lighter bikes too so being that it doesn't negate handling it's a plus... they knock the updating of an old engine... K5 gixxer is a legend if that's a negative you're silly and it makes the same stock HP as the MT09 with a better sound and the reliability being that it's detuned and understressed is going to be thru the roof.
Anybody that rides these GSXS bikes it's nothing but positive reviews for a reason so if you're thinking about getting one just go do it lol--- in a group ride I had a guy on a KTM Superduke ride mine and I rode his and he commented on how amazing the GSXS handled and the sound as opposed to the KTM-- one anecdote but goes with the trend.
Hey and induction sound again... like noted it's stock on this vid, throw a Yoshi pipe on.... fuck... you got MotoGP sound lol
Thanks for your contribution mate, I hope more people do see the benefits of these generally overlooked machines.
Love the 750 Suzuki I have a 17 year old GSX750F still as good as the day it was made nearly 60k on his back best gear box too Suzuki still the only big name who make their own gearboxes a real world motorcycle withe a K5 Suzy engine the best Gixxer by a country mile 👍👍
I really fancied the old GSX600F it's blue and white "durex" colours back in the day! My mate owns a turbo 1200 Bandit with over 200 brake and yeah, these oil cooled units are bullet proof 👍
Appreciate the Video it was great and entertaining, I learned a lot about the bike...thank you 😀
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful 😊
Great sound, great looks, bloody good review.
Thanks! Yep this a really, really good bike 👍
Very nice review. I am new to motorcycles. You touch on the most important things about the bike. I have the same bike as a first bike. Here in the Netherlands we practice and get our license on a 650cc. So the jump to a 750 is not that big. Changed the turn signals to LEDs, installed a tailtidy, put another exhaust on it (Yoshi Alpha T), changed the head bulb to a LED and installed a little windscreen. Thanks for the effort. You have a new subscriber
Hi there I'm glad you enjoyed my review and thanks for subscribing. When riding these bikes for TH-cam I try to put myself into the shoes of different types of riders... I don't always remember to do it though 😂 I hope you enjoy some of my other videos!
In relation to the practice/learner laws in the UK/EU, I passed my motorcycle test in 1992 and I'm very out of date when it comes to the current regulations! I think today we can gain our licence on a bigger bike in the UK at 21 and have had the lower licence (to ride 35kW bikes) for two years. Pretty complicated compared to when I passed my test!
Nice video & review. A friend had one of these & I really liked it. You get a lot for your money & it's got a perfect level of performance for the road imo.. You can use more of it more of the time & in my experience I would say it's generally more fun to use a lot of a smaller bike than a little bit of a big bike.
Agreed, it's a great bike for the road and I was surprised by how good it was!
16:08 lol!! Love the review and personality, mate. Really considering this bad boy as my next bike. Seems to have exactly what I'm looking for
I ride at "vsuh vsuh" mph quite often 🤣
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's a great bike - it might not be the most modern middleweight but it's very entertaining!
@@RikkyTang 😂 I love it. How comfy is this bike for all longer rides?
@@chapterrv I'm afraid I can't honestly speak about how the bike would be for longer distances because I didn't ride it for that long really. Nothing jumped out as a potential deal breaker though if you are already used to naked bikes 👍
I chose the z900, it felt a little easier to live with. Not much in it though and the Suzi is £1000 cheaper. I think both are good bikes.
I love my 2018 GSX-S750 it's a fun bike and a good daily. I agree about the lightning it's a shame it's not led.
I wish I had a bigger shed (and lots more money!) I could see this bike in my imaginary collection 😁
@@RikkyTang i have the same wish haha. Btw if you launch the GSX-S750 in high revs it outruns a bandit 1200 up to 6th gear. I did a drag against my old bandit 1200 😉😁
@@johnygsx-s7507 It's gotta be done 😁
An LED is about $30.00 and very easy to put in.
Que bonita motocicleta ,me encanta. Buen video y gracias!!! Saludos de Guadalajara Jalisco México 👍🏾😎
De nada! 😊
I'm right with you on the induction noise. My 2015 is still mostly stock and still has the OEM exhaust, so it's pretty tame. Even though it's not making peak power at like 6k rpm if you open up the throttle the absolute howl that comes from below the tank is incredible as it moves up the rev range.
Yeah they did a great job with the sound from the riders perspective. It makes the bike more fun to ride than I would ever had expected!
I have ridden the GSX S750, Z900 and Ninja 650. Forget the Ninja. The Z has so much power, its like an automatic, you can go from 2000 to 8000 revs in one gear and cover everything. But way more than you can really use. The GSX is light around town and arguably is more fun on the B roads as you can push it along. And that roar. The Kawaka gear boxes were not good. I missed a couple of upshifts. I am thinking GSX. Needs a small screen though Wind a bit rough.
Wind is always a bit of a drawback with these bikes... somedays I say "embrace the windblast it's why I bought a naked bike!" Other days it's "gotta find a screen that works... fourth time lucky" 🤣 The GSX is a lot of fun!
Looks nice in white👀
Question. Does the Gsx-s have engine vibration as the revs climbed? I have a new 2023 and the higher the revs the more vibration that comes through the bars, the seat, the foot pegs and the gas tank. Is this normal? My mirrors are blurry at any rpm above about 4-5k too.
Good review, nice bike,
Thank you - yes I like it too 😊
I'm seriously considering one of these as 2nd bike. The only thing that puts me off is that it looks a little dated. A new version with led's, an updated dash and some small styling changes would make it a very strong option.
Agreed - the basics are really good but the model would benefit from a mid-life refresh.
It really needs an update and add some electronic to compete with other brands. It's 2020 and still not a single led lights? No slipper clutch assist and QS?
@@sunneversetsonthebritishempire Yeah they did the slipper clutch on the 1000 a couple of years ago. The 1000 has a lighter chassis as well so I agree the 750 with some updates would be a lot more compelling.
Imagine having a 2015.
Somehow it being the way it is feels dated, but it also feels and looks proper. I’d be sad if it looked new cause the lack of electronics and safeties on it beckons back to the time of go fast be stupid. And that’s what I get from this bike.
@@darianruttenberg4035 Given they've hit the GSX-S1000 with an ugly stick for this year I take back my previous comment. Don't touch the GSX-S750 Suzuki! I will give them credit on the new GT model though, that is styled nicely even if it's a bit too similar to the Ninja SX1000.
How is the seating/tank arrangement?
I'm a smaller guy and like a higher seat and smaller tank.... But I really like the idea of this bike in every other way
The seat/tank interface is not too wide - I could easily flat foot it with a 32" inside leg... if yours is 28" or less you may have trouble! The bike is a lot of fun though 👍
Would this be upgrade from a bandit 1200. I just wonder if I would miss the torque. I really enjoy my bandit im just thinking about something more modern.
Unfortunately I think you might miss the torque... . You do have to wait a bit longer for strong acceleration when you twist the throttle from low revs. The flipside is that the bike will feel lighter and more "alive" than the Bandit I reckon. This bike strikes me as a very willing partner when you want to have fun! It's definitely worth a test ride if you can arrange one.
If you have been thinking that it's time to get with the 21st century lol then I think you will be upgrading sooner or later! A GSXS1000S would be worth considering... I haven't ridden one yet but I do understand that the engine on that is a good 'un. Looks aren't to everyone's taste but it might be the bike that makes you think "why did I stick with the Bandit for so long?" Good luck!
I ride a 2018 GSX-S750 now but my previous bike was a bandit 1200 and i really like the 750. I even did a drag against my old 1200 and up to 6th gear she left the bandit behind. But you will have to laungh it in the higher revs to do that. It's a fun bike and i never had a one second of regret i "downgrated" from the bandit 1200
Quite a nice bike, it's just that the GSXS lineup look a little plain. Very similar in power to my old 2016 MT09, better handling though! Looking forward to the next one.
I do agree and think the GSX range could do with being brought bang up to date... however something tells me that Suzuki might be playing the "sensible" & "value for money" cards with these bikes; I guess there is a market for that sort of thing because apparently the 750 is a good seller!
Cheers Merry Christmas
Sorry for the slow reply! Thanks and a very belated Merry Christmas!
Hmm I’ve tried to change the traction control while riding on my gsxs750 and doesn’t seem to want to change, while in motion. I might have been giving throttle tho. Will have to try it with throttle off next time. Thanks for tip if it works 👍
Yes you typically do have to stay off the throttle to make TC changes - hope that works for you!
When showing the switch gear it would be handy to show what switches you have selected ie hi low beam I've never hat a bike like that so would be handy to actually see them as the camera was looking away.
In my First Dates videos I don't always show all the switches - I only have two or three hours with the bike so it depends on how much time I have available and how much I know about the bike. I'll try to remember from now on 👍
How about the ergonomics? Seat too peg? What's your inseam? How comfortable is the bike at everyday speeds? This info matters to me because I don't live close to any shop other than Kawy.
The ergonomics were good for me - with my 32" inseam my legs didn't feel cramped. It is a "slightly" sporty naked though so don't expect to be sat perfectly upright. I think it would make a great daily rider 👍
@@RikkyTang I'm 32" inseam too. Thanks a lot.
Who gets better mpg Z900 or GSXS750? also what's the difference between gsxs750 and gsxs750z?
I didn't ride either bike long enough to get my own MPG figures but from what I can see on the web, the Suzuki averages about 56 UK MPG and the Z900 is about 50 UK MPG. The Gsxs750Z is basically the standard model with some blacked-out parts and some blue stripes on its wheels.
A completely ignored bike from the mid late 70's was the gs 750, a bit heavy like most Suzuki's.
I had 1 friend with a gs 750 , best handling big bike I tried back then.
I'm thinking about getting a gxs s750, but I'm wondering if a cb 500 F with it's amazing fuel economy might be a lighter better idea?
I always had a thing for the GS750 for some reason - not as big and bulky as the 1000's. There is a lovely restored one on ebay for £4999!
I haven't ridden a recent Honda 500 but for sure it will be cheaper to run. You have to balance that against the fun factor though 😁
Gsx-s750 is wayyyyy more fun than the CB500F.
If you had to put your money down on this or the z900 which would it be ?
I think it would be the 750.
I notice you didn't seem to shift into 6th gear the whole time, doesn't it have any power in 6th gear at lower speeds?
Hi there, I have to be honest and say that a lot of the time on my own bike ( currently BMW S1000R but I'd do it on my previous bikes too) I will often have it in 6th gear even at lower speeds. For whatever reason, riding the GSX-S750 on that day made me feel like a bit of young hooligan again and I was actually using lower gears and more revs on purpose! It was mainly to do with the induction sound I think! 6th is a perfectly serviceable gear on the 750... I've got no complaints about it and I was just having a bit of fun 😊
@@RikkyTang Ha ha - I'm 3 to 4 on those roads. 5th is just a step to get to 6th on the highway, otherwise it seems to remain untouched for the reasons you mention.
Would you recommend it for a new full motorcycle rider was riding 125 for 15 year then decided to pass big bike test cheers kp up the good work👍👍
Well normally I would say to someone coming from a 125 that a jump to a 750 is risky, but after 15 years on one I will make the assumption that you are confident in your ability! The Gsx-S is a pussycat if you ride with respect and so as long as you don't get too excitable too quickly when you start riding it, I think you'll be fine 😊. Just be careful in the early days... you'll be able to cover ground much quicker then you have before and it's easy to get carried away and into trouble before you know it!! Hope you already have good riding kit as well just to be on the safe side 👍
@@RikkyTang thank you mate for getting back to me ill maybe go for the cb650r instead I've heard that's a decent bike to start on lol I believe in my abilities think maybe that's just bit quick at mo more experience maybe thanks again 👍👍
@@truedawglbg2074
The cb650r is a very quick and able machine....
@@stever6542 thank you mate im torn between the tuono 660 or the cb650r now. the price of the 660 tho is mental you get alot for money tho I think compared to cb650r what do you think ?? I know cb650r isn't no where near as expensive as the 660 but the specs look good
I’ve ridden the 1000. I wonder if this is similar and as much fun? I liked the 1000 way more than the Z900.
I've ridden all three and I think the 1000 and 750 would tie for first place! The speed-freak in me loves the 1000 but I think that the 750 is a really fun, engaging ride! The Z900 for some reason didn't really float my boat but I really enjoyed the Z900RS and RS Cafe.
@@RikkyTang Cool. Thanks.
I've never driven any kind of motorcycle before, I've never even rode as a passenger on one but I want to get one and this bike has my attention though I'm hesitant. Would this be a good/manageable bike for someone who has absolutely zero experience?
Hi Terry, People have different opinions on a question like yours; in the UK, the law has made bikers start on smaller bikes and move up towards bigger bikes. Although we don't like that approach it also makes good sense from a safety point of view. Pretty much every motorbike rider will fall off their bikes at some point! I did a lot of falling off myself when I was younger and most of it was my fault. Touch wood I haven't fallen off in maybe 15 years now and I mainly put that down my earlier experiences 😊
This bike is easy to ride slowly... the problem is that it can also easily get to 80 or 100 mph and more in a matter of a few seconds and if you have an accident due to inexperience the results could be fatal. My advice is to start on something smaller... don't rush to a big bike and gain experience and smaller/slower bikes first.
@@RikkyTang thank you! Your input is much appreciated. As much as I'd like to have this bike, I'd like to remain with the living for at least little while longer haha. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry and there is no rush.
@@terrylafauci791 Thanks for replying and I'm glad to hear your thoughts! That's a sensible attitude and you need to keep that attitude when you pull the crash helmet on.. at least in the beginning 😁
I had 0 experience and bought this as first bike. U can easily learn on this bike than outgrow your smaller bike within weeks. The s750 powerband/throttle response is forgiving unless you crank it. I say go for what you desire. I have no regrets whatsoever
@@mingern10 interesting. I guess everyone is different, I may still consider it. Thanks for the info!
Hi is the 1000 gsx s body bigger then the 750 ? Thanks
I want to buy a seat cowl but all I can find is ones for the 1000 so just want know if it will fit thanks
@@farmerjimmy7453 The bikes are totally different actually - the 750 is based on the earlier GSR750 and the 1000 is a newer machine so they have different chassis and bodywork. Please do some more checking but I don't think anything for the 1000 will fit the 750, sorry.
@@RikkyTang ok thanks for reply 👍
@@RikkyTang In fact, it IS the GSR750. This is an update to that bike (metal overwhelmingly the same, the plastic and silicon are quite different) with a name change in some regions today the GSX-S (others already called it that).
@@TheCdubbleyoo Thanks for the info 👍
I’m trying to learn about motorcycles and your video is made for people who has extended experience. You started out riding right away and did not explain nor just giving a quick overview on what the bike is all about like the seat height, the horse power, the brakes….etc…so I turned it off at 3:04 minutes in. Like I said I’m just a beginner and this video is way over my head. Thanks though.
Yep you're right my reviews are aimed at motorcyclists that already have some experience, although I think even some of the less experienced ones would tell you that my videos are not particularly advanced or technical. Once you have learned some of the fundamentals then vids like mine will make more sense.
Hopefully in the future when you have more experience and are looking to buy bigger bikes then videos like mine will be more useful to you.
In the meantime channels like MotoJitsu (USA) or RoadCraft Nottingham (UK) will be more relevant for you.
16:11 😂
Bit annoying how every time you open it up you switch to view of your helmet instead of front of bike and approaching bends like you’re reviewing the helmet lol.Apart from that great informative review.Appreciated cheers
Yes but is a nice helmet isn't it? Seriously though thank you for commenting - you can probably guess why I keep switching away from the front of the bike and that's to keep the speed out of shot. The videos can sometimes take several days to make and to be perfectly honest with you it's easier and quicker to switch camera than it is to use blurring options in the editing software. On some videos I have two front facing cameras so it's easier to manage. As my video editing skills improve and I buy better equipment you should see less of this. Thanks again 😊
@@RikkyTang Ok I’ll let you off lol .Seriously looking at this and street triple r as first big bike,been on mt 125 for seven months and 4000 miles as my das test keeps getting cancelled with covid.Booked in for March so hoping to be let loose on something in time for spring🤞
@@jeffprince6861 Thank you for cutting me some slack! 😁 I do like this bike a lot but I haven't tried a STR765 yet. Someone in the comments of one of my vids found the STR more exciting than this 750 and ended up on the Triumph so it's certainly worth looking into 👍👍 I hope you can get on with the test in March!
Nice review rikky, its my dream bike hopefully soon,thanks for sharing cant wait to ride this bike. Shoutout from philippines 🇵🇭🤙 Ride safe. May u wanna visit my channel.😎
I hope you get it! Respect from the UK 💪
Google the z900 top speed vs the gsx s750 2022 models.
Everyone shifts too fast on this bike.
Good day. Are you the owner of the world famous TANG of Mondelez International?✌
I'm afraid that I am not the owner of TANG although I would love to find some in the UK! 🍊🍏🍓🍋😄
The GSX-S750 being so bottom heavy, whike cornering feels funny when riding my girlfriend's bike. I don't know, maybe I'm too used to my Tuono 660 being taller.
I can't choose between a gsx-s 750 or spend a bit more on a tuono 660. Do you think the tuono is worth it?
@bramoldenziel6373 both are fine bikes. The 750 has an inline 4 which is pretty cool, it feels different to a parallel twin. I prefer the Tuono 660 because I think it is designed for taller people. On the GSX-S750, I feel all cramped up, feels like a toy. Also the Tuono is definitely a head turner, always get complimented by it, you always see people looking at you while riding it. Now I have to say, the 750 is more reliable than the Tuono. I had to service the Tuono for a few minor things, nothing critical, but it's annoying. The 750, that thing runs for ever without issues. But I don't mind having to fix minor things on my Tuono.
Also probably it will be easier to resell the 750 than the Tuono. But every time I see my bike, it's like damn, looks so good!
It is not a jigsaw but it is based on a jigsaw. ;)

DOOOO IIITTT 😁
I still don't understand the existence of the narcissistic camera. What does a view of your helmet add to the video?
The up and down of your camera is distracting
That is a fair comment and thank you for your feedback - I persisted with using this camera as my main camera for far too long unfortunately! My more recent videos are much improved 👍
@@RikkyTang thx for the this is my first video of yours only right I check out some others
@@jw9517 That would be great thank you!
