Really cool GSXR 750 video

This video is a chronological pictorial using morphing through the 1985 GSXR 750 to the 2007 GSXR 750 or the Gixxer 750.

The one thing that I have discovered about motorcycles is that people are very loyal to their brands in a very nostalgic way. People don’t seem to hate another brand, but they will say, “I love Hondas.” or “I love Kawasakis”, in this case, “I love Suzukis.”

What I always find curious is how did the bike go from one look ten or fifteen years ago to the look that it has now. It’s like watch a baby grow into an adult. To watch technologies and thinking change. Just a little bit each year with major jumps occasionally. I guess you could call it the Dawinism of the Suzuki GSXR 750.

Have a great day from Motorcycle-bluebook

literally peregrine falcon in Japanese. This bike took the motorcycle industry by storm, It was they fastest production bike ever made. I remember cover of a magazine saying 189 mph. I remember one of these bikes passing me on the highway like I was standing still. His tail light disappeared into the distance in what seemed to be a matter of seconds. He had to be doing over 160 miles per hour. Think about it… at 180 miles per hour, that’s a mile every 20 seconds…

Every 18 year old kid who had never ridden a bike wanted one and many got one. I personally did not like the bike at first. It looked too big and bulky, but I was into the nimbler sport bikes. The Hayabusa isn’t really a sport bike, It’s really a rocket on two wheels, made to go fast on the straight away. These motorcycles are bought, turned into drag bikes, pimped out. They even take the engine out of these things and put them into go carts and cars.
