For this week's First Ride, Chase returns to his super sport roots for the opportunity to ride a 2022 Suzuki GSX-R 750. Once the sportbike to beat in the 750cc segment, the GSX-R has since become a quasi time capsule with minimal upgrades to remain on the market as well while trying not to stray too far from it's roots. Have you ridden one? Was it all you hoped for, or just not enough?

I'm buying this exact motorcycle tommorow it's delivered and ready for pickup can't wait so excited

[rynev]

For those that don’t know, the foot pegs/ rear set’s are adjustable down or back about an inch with an couple Allen bolts. I’m 6’2” and that’s literally the first thing I do when I buy Gsxr 600/750’s, it makes a huge difference in comfort

[samuraisteve]

My car was rear ended. My only transportation has been a motorcycle since 07/2023.

Currently I ride a 2022 GSXR 750 with a full M4 exhaust system and the ECU was sent to Chris Moore/Moore Mafia.

I am 54 years old, a ton of injuries from
Of which I have done as I have been a life long martial artist since 12.
I am 5’9 and 178 lbs, and I am in pretty good shape which helps. I try and use all legs and core to keep my hands weightless. This allows me to ride for 4+ hours no problem.

My Gixxer 750 is my daily ride. Even in the rain…which is when B mode helps a lot.

[Skipshift]

Oc: One of my every day bikes is the 2012 GSXR600. They are very streetable to me. Moreso than the r6 and even the CBR I used to ride.
The GSXR is like the Lotus Elise of motorcycles. No frills, just speed and a good mechanical feeling. Tech is cool, but there is a nice niche for a raw sport bike too.

Some don't remember that the 750 class was the premier superbike class in the 80's to 90's. Superbike racing was 750, and Matt Mladin won a bunch of his AMA championships with the Gixser 750. When the price between 600 and 750 became close, sales of 750 decreased and superbike racing went 1000 and manufacturers stopped making 750, except Suzuki.

[conceptcs]

This is what motorcycling is all about. The simplicity of the machine.

[stylez]

I literally got a 750 a couple months ago. It's very raw! Not many electronics! Just how I like it ;)

[cmbiker]

Picked up a 2023 GSX-R750 (my 4th Gixxer 750) 2 weeks ago. There is something special about this bike. Not a fan of the headlight styling, and it doesn't have ABS or traction control, but it is the most comfortable and usable (power-wise) sport bike I've ever ridden and the induction sound of this bike is music to the ears. I learned to ride before ABS and traction control, so I just use common sense and wrist control to keep the rubber side down.

[PandaStencils]

I have a 2018 GSX-R750 as a dedicated trackbike. Swapping to stainless steel brake lines and a Brembo RCS radial master cylinder transformed the bike into the best trackday bike that I have ever owned. I "downsized" from a YZF-R1 and an Aprilia, and I do not regret the decision. The 750 is easier to ride, easier on tires, simply more fun, and I have been faster on the 750 (same tracks) despite less power, less electronic help, and being an older platform.

Thanks for this video!

Got an 2021 750 installed braided brake lines and sintered pads, replaced rear shock as the standard one ties it’s self in nots on bumpy roads. Great Corning machine easy to use and change and brilliant at the track.

[justdjlove]

Great job as always. I bought a 2020 750 and will say, I have to agree with the brakes, but after adding new braided brake lines and better pads, she stops 100% better.

[HobbsCreatorOfEvil]

Just got a 2024 750.
I'm 6'2" 190lbs riding in WNC and this feels great, thus far I've found the seat position to be quite pleasant. I do find myself resting on my wrists more than I should though I'll probably get better the more I ride. The tank does help recoup during a ride as an armrest.
I've not noticed any notable vibrations.
Coming from an ADV, this has been brilliant!

[Blottski]

Honestly. I always wanted a 600/750 and it was the reason I got into sportbikes. My best friend was given his dad's 600 and I remember being so damn jealous. Nowadays, I am about to buy an RS 660 because this bike just HASN'T changed at all in a decade +. I really truly hope Suzuki doesn't kill this bike and finally goes for it, for at least 1 more generation. This bike especially the 750 is just so iconic!

[kkswain]

I sold my 13’ GSXR 600 back in 2020, regretted it ever sense. I absolutely loved that motorcycle. It was super Street-able, I’m 5’11”. My knees would cramp up after riding for an hour or so but you can live with that. I’m looking at purchasing a 750 this summer. I already know I’ll love it and that extra 30 horse power will be choice

[bosoone]

I have been riding 1000cc superbikes for 25 years, but I love my 2017 GSXR750 more than all of them combined! I will never sell it. Please please Suzuki, keep building them :-)

[waynehart]

6'4, 44 years and i still ride my 2017 GSXR 750 and love it. hopefully will get the 1000 in a few months.

[Metalution]

OC. Never owned a “super sport”. Currently ride a 2021 Tuono V4. It’s disguised as a sport touring and about as comfortable as a bike of this type can be. It’s a rocket ship and I love it.

[hipposnakeyo]

It’s within 10hp of the panigale v2 and like 30lbs or something lighter, probably perfect for most riders. Just wish Suzuki would update the bike a little with a new look and better electronics.

[LooxJJ]

I remember warm spring day back in 1998...me on my 750. Miss those times so much.

[ApeOfGrape]

You know, I friggin love my 750 for all the reasons you laid out. But my BIGGEST problem is that it hasn't evolved in 20 years! My 2014 is exactly like your 2022 first ride. And that's just like the 2011 when they introduced this model (fact check needed). So a purist might idolize it, but I continue to evolve as a rider and the tried and true Gixxer 750 is awesome, perfect, but old news. Sure, I'm probably exactly the person that is ready for the madness that a liter bike has to offer, but on the other hand, I'm commuting this beast. Way more than I need but as much as I can respect, which is an important, life-saving distinction. I have decades of experience and I, personally, think you must have for such a profound machine. That's why we ride. It is liberating. There is nothing like it and you have to experience it!
