SUZUKI GSX750F (1998-2005) Review

I find it relatively hard to believe that people find it ugly but it must be true about beauty being in the eye of the beholder as I find it great to look at. The engine and gearbox are second to none and its reliability and fuel consumption I find... Read more are excellent. I will say the handling takes some getting used to but once you know your bikes limitations then it performs and handles well and can keep up with a lot of newer bikes. It really comes into it's own when you get to around the 5000 rpm range and for a sports tourer it is a flying machine but it is also happy to bimble about at low speeds too. I would certainly recommend anyone to buy this bike as it is reliable, cheap to run and will certainly put a smile on your face every time you take her out.

Great fun with unexpected top speed. No bells or whistles. Simple,practical motorcycling bliss.I would recommend this bike to a friend any day of the week. It's practicality and price are huge factors in the overall enjoyment of driving one of... Read more these. Mine cost me €2000 with 13000 miles on the clock. It is unpretentious and solid motorcycling at its best. I actually love driving this bike 7 days a week. Chains,sprockets and tyres last for a lot longer than other models. Only small issue I have is the front brakes,but I will be upgrading to braided brakelines sometime soon and will be purchasing a touring screen also.

have had many rides over the years, primarily into dirt bikes and cruisers, sold all my bikes about 12 months ago, and then needed something to do around 200kms a day for awhile, searched on a few sites and then comes across a very tidy 1998 GSXF... Read more 750, and WOW what a bike, rev's well, slick gearbox, and just a comfy bike to ride. Loving it

The GSX750F K6 is a brilliant bike when held within its intended use and category. Obviously it is not a super sport poster toy nor was intended to ever be anything of the sort but if you want a bike that is capable and wears many hats well then this... Read more is the bike - ok you won't win bragging rights but this is a bike for the roads we all have to share and live on. The GSX750F is the modest mans ever reliable work horse doing what all good bikes should with no angry moments, its quick and fast but in a dignified manner. The question now is - am I happy I have one in the shed waiting for the next fine days ride "you bet I am" As for the looks I think GSX750F 2006 is one great looking bike quirky but traditional.

I'm dissapointed. The odometer got stuck st 99,999. I felt like I was robbed. I estimate it now has 150,000k on it. Just replace the consumables and get back on the road. I'm 6'3" and have ridden it every day. The side stand - well you just... Read more stand on it hard. The bike has been parked outside at work in the Aussie sun. I think next services is going to be discs, tyres, brake pads, chain and sprockets. Looking at the prices, for $4000 I can go get another one with only 20,000k and see if I can lock up another odometer!

After writing off my last bike due to an inconsiderate deer crossing my path needed a new sports tourer. My decision to plump for the GSXF was decided totally on budget. Picked up a 2001 with 21k for £1100. VFR800s were easily double that and... Read more sometimes more even for a 98. Having owned a VFR800 I was disappointed I couldn't stretch to get another one. However I was surprised by this. Way more low down power and similar but not quite as significant top end rush. The power is more accessible but it won't keep up with similar sized bikes flat out and easily eclipsed by litre plus bikes. Probably due to the weight of the bike, plus my 15 stone more than any faults with the engine itself! More comfortable, but felt heavy and less darty into the corners. Terrible standard screen, being 6'3 might make me bias though. 150 miles from a tank about right. Does what you need and looking objectively I don't know of any other bike that delivers as much for the same price.

This was my first bike. Heavy, bulbous dated looks and a massive exhaust all belie a solid all rounder. The one outstanding feature is the super powerful engine which, despite its aged design is sheer fun, especially when in the powerband. The bike's... Read more sidestand has a tendancy to tip forward when the machine is idling and drop with little warning. Reliability is awesome as is the price. Not great for a new rider due to high power and weight but still worth a look for many.

The best bike ive owned to date . Engine is a beauty . Very smooth and sweet , but the best bit is the mid range . From 4000 it pulls like a Pullman . I leave this thing in top and cruise everywhere up the steepest of hills without any chew . The... Read more handline is superb to . I do most of my riding 2 up and i get no wallowing and scary moments . Brakes are mint to . Fuel economy is acceptable . I love the looks of this beast to . A real proper muscle bike that will not let you down .Only bad bits if i had to pick something is maybe the finish on painted areas . Like most Jap machines it flakes off , but its easy sorted . Agreat bike .

This is a good bike, often underated by those who've never owned one. There's nothing flash about it but it does what it's been designed to do very well. The engine is great, revving freely and reasonably smoothly. I had no problem regularly holding... Read more it at 190 km/h on the freeway. The gearbox is quite smooth but I also found it somewhat inconsistent. Ride is a bit soft but can be firmed up. Handling is predictable but not as stable as a bigger bike. I found the bike a bit tight for my height (6'1"). Equipment is pretty basic, but the price is relatively low so that's fine. Quality was ok; nothing to complain about but nothing outstanding either. I had the odd elctrical niggle but nothing major. An honest bike that grows on you the longer you own it. The only bike I've ever bought a second time. Personally I think it looks better than most modern sports-tourers (I had a red then a black one), and the only reason I sold the second one was to buy a bigger bike for two-up touring.

Bought my GSX750F two years ago this month, a week after I passed my test. It was 8 years old then, with 19,000 on the clock. It's now over 30,000. The engine is 100% reliable, and has never missed a beat, but it does suffer a little from carb... Read more icing at start up when it's very cold weather. The handling could be sharper, but it was never meant for racing, so I guess that's to be expected. The biggest failing is the brakes, which have a habit of binding, and are not the best even when they're working ok. Don't get me wrong, it stops, but not as quickly as it could. It's a great bike for long days out and touring, as it's really comfy, and on a run I've had over 50mpg too! I'm loking for a change soon, and the only question for me is, what do I get to better the GSX?
