    Would it be fair to say that no other model of bike has brought you so much joy in your life? You can't hide your excitement whenever a GSX-R750 comes in to conversation. 😃

    I think you did the decent thing starting with a lightly crash damaged bike. It could easily have been stripped for spares, so you have preserved one more machine in the world.

    Loving this series, I've had dozens of bikes but never had a sports bike, unless a 2017 Ducati Supersport S counts. The main thing I've learned is how good they are out of the box. That's big news for someone who has 2 American bikes that need thousands spent on them, only to end up with an average motorcycle. Time to reflect on my life choices and get a GSX-R750 😆

    What an amazing set of GSXR750 videos you have produced Michael, your shear enthusiasm I can really relate too and share. I'm 74 now and have ridden sports bikes since 1966, two years ago I came to the conclusion after changing bikes regularly mostly 1000 street bikes more recently, with rider aids as is the norm nowadays, that something was missing and that I really missed my GSXR's. I managed to track down a low mileage L7 from a dealer in Hampshire in 2022 and haven't stop smiling since, just amazing rider machines that you sit into rather than a feeling of being perched on! Your info on your choice of tyres etc is so informative. Please keep the videos coming, keep smiling.

Enjoy your new machine !!

    I am a happy owner of this model. I sometimes thought about changing it for a new 1000 but, for budget reasons, I gave up. I've had it for 10 years and I use it on the track and on the road. It's perfect! With the fact that they no longer produce it, it makes it even more difficult for me to think about parting with it. The fact of fitting the 180/60 rear is interesting. Next time I change the tyres, I'll think about it.

    I have a K9 GSXR750 converted from road to now a race bike, by far the best upgrade I found for the brakes was the master cylinder. The stock NISSIN one felt quite wooden compared to the upgraded RCS19 unit, If I had of know the difference it made initially I probably would have done that first rather than the lines and pads upgrade.

And that bike looks so good and modern. It doesn't look dated, actually looks amazing and better than the new bikes with the underslung bread boxes. Anyway, you really did put your money where your mouth is. So much of what you talked about came together in this series. Take care.

    I've been messing about with the ride height adjustment on my rsv4 factory. And I'd jacked up the rear by 5mm. I found 2 interesting things, while the turning was sharper and the bike more responsive to inputs : 1. I initially lost all my static sag. It took me a while to figure out why. But essentially, I had to back off the preload a fair bit to get my sag numbers back. 2. I also had poorer exit drive grip. Taking off 2mm of ride height brought it into the sweet spot for that bike, setup and state of the suspension. I've since rebuilt the suspension and resprung it for my weight. I'm going to pick up the bike in a few minutes. Very excited. Sitting in the workshop, bouncing the bike around, it already felt totally different.
