WHY BUY a 750 vs 1000cc (GSXR) 

45 years a go, Japanese manufacturers/riders made a answer (750 is best balance on the street) It is unchanged as of today.

"What is a 750?" In my honest opinion and assessment; it is the "Goldilocks" zone for motorcycles. Just as nimble and flickable as a 600, more useable on the streets than a 1000; still has more than enough beans to scare the stupid out of you, but won't leave you wanting for sauce either. The GSX-R 750 is THE BIKE that "started it all" for modern "crotch rockets", whatever super sport street bike you own/love/ride...you owe a debt of gratitude to the GSX-R 750. All the insanity and ridiculous horsepower and otherworldly chassis wouldn't be where they are today without it. Like em, love em, take em or leave em....the Gixxer is the reason all other super sports exist. Back in the day 750cc was the most predominant displacement class in sport bike racing (bit of a different animal than the Moto-GP we know and love today).

Yeah, the 16 gsxr1000 is very comfortable. I can ride it all day and not feel it. I had the R1 prior to it and that thing felt like torture after 45 minutes. Don't lane split, assume everyone is trying to hit you, wear your gear, stay sober, don't let bad drivers get you upset/emotional and you'll increase your odds of staying alive.

i have to disagree, i have owned all 3 600,750 and 1000. i have returned to riding after a 12yr break and my choice was the 750. faster than all 600s, more flick able than any 1000 and comfortable to ride. Personally i dont like liter bikes for the road but thats just me.

I have 88,000 miles on my GSX750R, bought it with zero miles brand new. Still love it! Only thing is the shift sensor keeps wearing out every 30,000 miles.

Just cough! Get it out damn it lol

So if your whole argument was that changing the sprockets on a 600 made it faster than a 750, well what if you ALSO changed the sprockets on a 750? The 750 would be even faster. Plus, why would you want to change sprockets on anything other than a stunt bike and lose all that top end?

First thing a 750 is a big difference between a 600 trust me I've had both.. And us British don't mod our bikes?? Maybe you should visit UK and see for yourself buddy 😂

In my opinion they all feel the same until you get on the gas. Weight difference is not that much. 1000’s are super easy to wheelie. 600’s and 750’s you have to bounce it and clutch it at the same time to bring it up. It comes down to do you want a civic or a corvette. Street driving 1000 is the way to go. You don’t always have to down shift to pass or to merge on the freeway. Has good power when you have a passenger. 600’s save gas and are fun in the canyons. I stopped riding though because people really don’t care about others on the road. They’re too consumed by Instagram than eyes on the road.

And stock to stock the 750 will hang all day with a 1000 cant say that about the 600

had to do a wheelie he's on a gsxr

Idc how much hate I get but you’re definitely one of my favorite motovlogers, I am an atheist but that’s neither here nor there

Sorry. They are all Spanish guys winning moto GP.... even 2017

I might be buying a 2017 gsxr 750. It will be my second bike after my 400 Yamaha dt. Can't wait to see if it happens. Can't believe I am being financed and that my wife is coming around to the idea. I am 55 almost 56.

Sportbikes: 1000 (lots of torque but too much for the twisties), 600 (great for twisties but down on torque), 750 (good compromise between the two). Also, since the usable rev range of a 600 is so wide, the power delivery is more gradual and linear. The 1000 has a narrower rev range so the power comes on more abruptly. Again the 750 is a good compromise between the two. Many people have 1000s, many people have 600s, few people have 750s. The insurance on a 750 is likely lower than on a 1000. The weight of a 750 is very close to that of a 600 but substantially less than that of a 1000. The cost of a good used 750 is usually about $1000 to $2000 lower than that of a good used 1000. 6 good reasons to get a 750.

Midas the 750 will flat out pull on the 600's

I’d never take advice from a dude in capris....

um gsxr 750 tops out at 180+mph same as the 1000's 180+mph but the 600 at 160+mph just another thing to have in mind

The 600 and 750 also have different throttle bodies and the airbox besides the motor and ecu.

I just can't imagine changing bikes ffom my GSXR 1000. I love the thing so much that I haven't even touched my Harley since I got the GSXR

A 1k is god speed. A 750 is super quick. A 600 is still fast but 750s leave busses on them. My 750 is built. Bigger pistons, raised compression and steep sprockets for drag racing. -1 +4, ecu flash header etc.. My 750 hAs shit on every year and make 600, 636, and zx750. No competition on the straights and my bike only tops out 161 redlined cuz the sprockets. Just my 2 cents.

My wife has a 15 GSXR 750 and I have a 17 GSXR 1000. It's actually nice to ride the 750 once in a while it definitely is more nimble. But damn that gsxr 1000 Power Band! You can definitely tell a difference. 750 is a perfect bike for the in-between.

Also don't forget the 750 was Suzuki's first sportsbike. The 600 was designed from it.

Love the Bible verses God bless you man

I thought the point of 750 over 600 was the extra low-end torque which is nice for daily riding (without adding the +40 lbs of a liter bike). I got the Triumph 765 for even more low-end torque from the triple arrangement, again with no care about the top end ... it's way too fast for this weekend warrior already. Gixxer 750 is a beauty though!

The power to weight ratio on the 750 is much better than the 600. it is a 600 frame and running gear with a 750cc motor in it. if you spend the money and mod it correctly you are going to be moving right there with the liter bike's. If you know how to ride you'll be eating up the liter bike's.

Sorry but the difference in power between a 750 and a 600 is def not the case of some mild mods to a 600. That kinda talk may impress some squids but not those who have owned both. Maybe if you actually did some track work on both instead of just popping the wheel up on some straight road every now and then you'd understand.

There's definitely a difference between the 600 and 750 ive had a modded 600 wrecked it now I have a 750 and the 600 doesn't even come close

Went from 600 to 1000 love em both love the 1000cc power is amazing

I bought a k8 750 after watching this, I’ve since added -1,+2 sprockets, the things a beast if I give a good twist, very satisfying especially since I was interested in changing for a z1000, but after changing the gearing I have no want to upgrade to a bigger bike

Only problem for me is I'm 6'3" and the GSXR is too low for me otherwise I'd happily ride a 750 around cause it's all you really need on the road.

As someone who's owned all 3 a 600,750, and a 1000 I'd have to say a 600cc will not beat a 750cc. I've done this race dozens of times with my friends and the outcome is always the same. 750cc always pulls aways on the top end every time.

Keep going with the Bible verses dude. Love it!

1985 gsxr-750 was the first super sport style road bike, read some history before u talk about a subject. its actually quite interesting how sport bikes have gotten to where they are today.

If you buy a 750 over 1000 your crazy the end ... Gsxr 1000r all day. ..

U need some boots man

I have always loved the GSXR750, If I were to buy one faster than a 636 I would get the GSXR750 over the 1000 because it is lighter weight and still very powerful. Love them, no need for a 1000 for me any way.

The GSX-R 750 is a perfect starter bike.

Bro this wisdom quote was awesome, coolest thing I've seen for a bike vlog man thanks

Amen brother. I appreciate you spreading that knowledge

SRKcycles has now shown me how to wheelie on a 750

This is simple the 750 is more power in the same bike frame and everything else is the same to the 600. 150cc more.

I subscribed, simply because of the Words of wisdom. Awesome! God bless!

Nice bike.. I have the same one, switching from my zx10 was a big difference

Amen brother !!! Being a Christian on a bike best insurance policy

The best supersport! congratulations!🎊🎈I had a GSXR600 K7 and now I have a GSXR 1340 BUSA 2008 dark blue with gold rims of factory with 3,200 miles, I miss my 600..the 750 its lighter it’s not 600, it’s not 1000, but the 750 runs like 1000 with the weight of 600, sorry gays for my English!..beauty bike 🏍 SUZUKI GSXR 750 the best for me!👌👌

Between a 2013, gsxr 600/750 there is 45 hp different. That’s a big difference on a bike

was gonna buy a 1000 but decided on the 750 cause it was 4k less. theres quite a weight difference between the 1000 and the 750. but between the 600 and the 750, its like 5 pounds. so 750 all the way unless ur wanting to hit the track then 1000

Just see if you can get a low mileage K7 Version of the GSXR750 and you will have the best bike in the world !

Don't waste your money on a 750, get a 1000.

P.S. that Concours is a beauty.

I Had no bike, Kawasaki for 27 years, March 19, chance to get a bike, no Kawasaki shops anymore, turned down a very healthy 07 CBR600RR, sight unseen, saw it, and wanted it, just looked fun to be on. Just sold, Bummer!!!!??, DANCER, because I had opted for a 05 very Healthy Bandit GSF650i.,sight unseen, clocked it outside the shop,ooooow, Loved the Fat back tyre, Big Engine NICE, rode it to abode,tea time, not the time for having a Laugh, see what Bandit can do. Fell asleep, woke up just after midnight, looked out, Dry Empty road, Bandit time, as I'd later call it, kid you not!!!, Brand New Focus ST tried to Lord it over me and said Bandit, undertook me at speed, cared not a Jot. Caught up at lights, now I'm a mile and a bit into First ride in Ernest in over 27years, 3rd GT550 Kawa.92, Superb bike, and yet the GT 750, was a whole new biking Experience, maybe a little bit more biking joy, than in 84, my nearly new Kawasaki 750turbo,that was Magical,at the time. A mile and a bit,27 years, Came across, what can Only be Described as a Perfect Storm ???, Felt like an industrial catapult FIRED it off, upright Forward, ALL at the back wheel, had to twitch the Limp bar's through a Left, Right chicane staying in lane, approx 80mph, I know that because, straightened up, said 92mph, Actual 89 Sheet!!!!,at least 58, 59 times more biking joy than the 750turbo, that like my GT750, would sit at a Planted 140mph all day long. Focus ST, at lights, What you've got there is very, very special. I said Big story is it redlines at 12,000rpm, driver laughed, we parted. Hindsight, should have said, redlines at 12,000, and when I left the ST for parked, never went above 6,500rpm, right up there with some of my Superb Kawasaki Rides. Sheet BANDITS BANDITS BANDITS, BANDITS ARE THE BEST. and I'm not even lying. GSXR750, Maybe Cure my Banditaholicism, can only hope,no matter what will Always Feel Blessed, biking wise, to have EXPERIENCED BANDIT TIME. All Hail BANDITS, BANDITS are the BEST. And I ain't even lying. Yours Scott Loch.na Prof, Bandit 650i.B.T.E. out. Got a PhD Masters Degree, in Bandit Torque Enjoyment only, nothing technical. Sadly now a semi retired Banditateer fekkin Banditaholic. Over 80 mph before the red line, in 2nd gear ?, Almost Joy Overload, plenty.

Words of wisdom, dont crash Earl 7:4.2

great stuff man i like bikers like you keep the faith

I hope you are under estimating the 750. I'm debating a 750 and a 1000 for my next bike. I much prefer the low insurance of a 750 compared to a 1000.

You had my sub at the scripture 👍🏼

Love the scripture keep it coming

Awsome! Enjoyed this video.... helped me make my decision...keep up the good work mate :)

Your bible quote just earned yourself a SUBSCRIPTION MY FRIEND. FELLOW GSXR OWNER AND A BELIEVER IN THE BIBLE, OH YEA, IMMA LOVE THIS CHANNEL. GOD BLESS MAN. PEACE!!!!!

ending made me laugh

Doing the same mods to the 750 will put you right back above 600. You can't really add mods and say you can beat stock. You have to give both bikes the same treatment.

Lol Brittish people don’t modify bikes. Where do streetfighters come from?

The title was the difference between 750 and 1000. And you never told us why not get a 1000.

I own a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa and a 2007 GSXR 600 and a Victory King Pin . The 600 is geared, piped, power commander, and quick throttle jawn. I seriously like the 600 more on my days. "Learners bike"? ehh dunno about that. She's flickabke and soo much fun. The Hayabusa is just an insane monster on the straightaways.

i love the pass button dude , right there forme to give a car a quick couple flashes if they are doing something dumb , or if im doing something dumb like coming up behind them over 150 mph...its like hi im here btw

Yamaha actually made a YZF-750 in the late 80's early 90's. Scott Russell used to race it. They also made a race only R7. Honda made VFR 750's starting in the 80's with the Interceptor (V4 though) followed by the sport touring VFR. Kawasaki made a ZX-7E, ZX-7R, & ZX-7RR....but the original was the GSX-R 750 from the early 80's. All great bikes! My heart though skips a beat for my Gixxer 750!

My mates just stuck a gixer 1000 engine in his 750 srad. A bit of work needed but it's a great sleeper now.

First biker blogger that acknowledges the word of God.

You get an automatic subscribe for me for reading the word 😇

K4 is the best GSXR 750 period.even in 2019

I keep watching your videos bro cause u always read the scriptures,, my bro

2012 suski 750r with a power module no 600 has touched me I do also have a chain and sprockets

ahhhhh this guy coughing.....IS DRIVING ME INSANE

Its the best balance of power and speed and handling for 99% of the riders out there... Had a few, as well as many literbikes... And while the 1000's are certainly an adrenaline rush, they aren't any faster other than outright top speed runs on the interstate... Anywhere else, on the twisty roads around where I live, all that power is more of a liability than an asset. And if you are a good rider... the 750 is nearly as potent... Like 10 years ago I was watching Chris "Opie" Caylor racing his 750 in the 1,000 class in WERA at Road Atlanta... and getting on the podium... Modern 1000's have come a long way since then, but for street and occasional track days, the 750 is perfect...

Love the words of wisdom man.

The clearing of the throat kinda sounds like a huge turbo after you shift😂 thought it was funny how you brought up making bike noises and I felt like your coughing even made noise that could come from a bike

1000’s are to wide though, 750’s you can fling around

Reads bible verses then proceeds to ride wheelies and speed lol my type of dude

I love what your doing with the words of wisdom!

The GSXR 750 is actually quicker than a Ninja 1000 stock for stock

yamaha made the FZ750 in the mid 80's. it stuck around for 7 yrs

What's up with all the coughing and lip smacking dude.

I felt a big difference riding both bikes on freeeay . The 750 was way Better than 600 in all aspects . The 600 felt like a little pos on freeway .Id never get a 600 over a 750 and if you can find a 1000 At a good rate Just skip all the bs and get the 1000 now if you dont know how to ride a bike then i understand get the little 600 .

Excuse me we British don’t mod our bikes? I live in a tiny village town with 2 of the top dyno tuners for bikes. We might not stick 300 rear tyres on our bikes but you can bet your bottom doller our pipes ain’t stock and our gearing is set for speed. Bad info man.

Love my 1993 Gixxer 750. Nible, flickable sufficent juice . That Said I have never ridden a 1000...

?? Us Brits love to tweek and mod our bikes, it's not always the cost effective option for more cheap power though. However tweeking is no substitute for a sleeper. My mates just put a k1 thou engine in a srad 750 frame 😉😎 And we had the gsxr 750 before the USA so the red white and blue is for the British flag lol. They even made a 750 and 1100 G in red white and blue to honour us. Ok so the honour is bollocks but the colour scheme is real.

I have a GSXR 1000 2017 and it feels way better than the new 750

I own the 2007 gsxr 750 my boy has a 2017 r1 yes his faster but I don't have a problem keeping up with him at all

It's a great day, as you cough up a lung. That was pretty good.

Your video is a sign, I've been looking at the helmet he is wearing for a while because of the transitions and sena mount.

HI had the 750 K2 , read about a od where you could get the gsxr 1000 k3 titanium exhaust and fit it to the k2 with a few spacers on the fairings , i had a K&N filer with , power commander and straight through suzuki tl1000 carbon end can sounded mint and growled at ya. it mad 126 on the dyno and my mates r1 made 131 . the dyno guy was impressed with my results he said for a 750 that's got a lot of power , none of my friends could keep up two up with me on the r1s and cbr 1000's when the playing field was leveled with passengers. goes to show good bike with a good rider can beat most other bikes on the road if ridden properly to its potential . I was all weather rider work and leasure biker my only transport rain snow or sunshine, my friends where all sunny weekend riders and dint go out with partner al the time like i did on the back with me but when they took their partners out i made sure the gixxer came o0ut on top , not even taking risks just good safe fast road riding maybe 70-90% . my advice to anyone who wants to ride and stay alive is to get a gixxer 750 best of both worlds and can be tuned to give an extra 10 15 at the wheel especially with the 1000 headers give it more room to scream and breath more, and i did screem there was only one other bike comparable to my bike for exhaust sound and loudness and it was a Kawasaki 1300 or 1400 sports bike made to compete with the Hayabusa . this was 20 years ago i had the k2 from 2004 ish for roughly 5-6 years and never felt the need to go higher it was everything in a bike you could ask for, and a forgiving bike.

More importantly ! How do you wheelie that bike? I can wheelie my TS125R and DT 175 but I cannot properly wheelie my K7 750. Cannot work out what I am doing wrong!

Honestly… 600, 750, 1000cc.. they are all too fast for the street. (Supersport I mean) that being said I love my gsxr 750. Know what you are getting yourself into and you’ll be fine

Bought a 91 gsxr 750 brand new last year they had oil cooled in the black and purple I wish I had it back every day

Love it when ppl make up some bs just to have an opinion on the matter. It doesn’t matter wtf you buy theyr dimensionally literally like 1” different in height and length and width. About 15lbs diffent total from 600 to 1000. So buy the 1000 then just say “im just learning to ride” or “im not good in the corners” rather than make excuses why why you suck at riding rather than justify why you are smart or responsible. Keep the thing in the lowest power setting if you are worried about “killing yourself on a one thousand”. It’s like a v6 Camaro because the “insurance is ridiculous on an ss” or because the “dude the v6 is still quick as $hit” nobody cares you lost us at no its a v6. So dont start spouting bs like the 10$ per fill up is gonna break you when you just bought a 30K car or its lighter and more nimble in and out of traffic or im short so i can reach the pedals easier in the v6 its all just garbage. If you like the taste of Diet Coke over regular than by all means but your logic is flawed if you get fries and a double cheeseburger and then go Diet for health reasons maybe just buy a maxima and eat a salad. Buy a 650 touring bike then ride through town with your feet on the rear passenger pegs when your friends see you so they’ll think its “one of those fast ones you lay down to ride” the ones you feel the need to explain you justification for buying a 750 to aren’t buying it. The rotating mass of the litter compared to 600 to somebody that can’t ride isn’t a factor. The 750 is not a touring bike. The 6 and 750 ar both more exhausting to ride around town because the nearly non existent low end torque Especially in the around town range makes them feel extremely sluggish and lethargic compared to the 1000. That’s probably the most looked over difference of the 3. Im 6th gear at 55 I don’t have to shift down to eat a car it just grunts and moves.

I have an R1, to be honest 95 percent of ppl will NEVER even utilize the full power or potential of a 600

As soon as i heard you read the scripture i subscribed! God bless you and keep you covered on the bike rides brother!

Subbed as soon as I heard the Bible verse.

I currently have a Harley-Davidson dragged out Fatboy, a Ninja 650, but I primarily ride my GSXR 1000. The other day I was looking at the fat boy and the GSXR 750 Motor sitting next to it and a light bulb went off in my head you might think it's a stupid one. But I think my next bike I'm going to build it's going to be a dragged out Fatboy kind of looking thing like the one I got but with my extra GSXR 750 motor in it. I also have a Katana 600 motor wondering if that's compatible with a GSXRs

Enjoyed your channel and scripture! Subd! Bell! And liked!!
