1995 Suzuki GSX-R750 review from United States of America

I had a short bout of having to change the spark plugs. Finally went with the really expensive ones and no trouble since.

The blinker capacitor blew-out.

Nothing major to complain about mechanically.

My previous ride (first bike) was a 1996 Bandit 600. I recommend that bike to any new rider. A great starter bike.

The goal of my next bike was to get a bike with more power and less weight. I was looking for a 600 or 750 from any of the Big Four. The 1995 GSXR 750 has about 25 more hp and is about 20 lbs lighter. What a difference this makes! I tried a Yamaha YZF600 and a Gixxer600 in my quest. The YZF did not give me the impression I wanted, and although the Gixxer6 was very nice, it was much newer and more $$$.

I LOVE my Gixxer7, and have since made it my personal hobby. I will not buy any other bike for myself other than a new model. It is the bike that started the modern sports-bike. Since I bought the bike, its value has not decreased much. I could sell the bike for about $500 less than what I paid for it 4 years ago!

This past spring, I "accidentally" bought a 2004 Gixxer7. My wife said one of the bikes had to go. I sold the 2004. The old bike is more "comfortable". It has all the power I want and is fast becoming a classic ride. They had not yet cut too many corners on the '95. I hear the '00 and newer sacrifice some strength for weight.

I use synthetic oil and change the oil every 3000 miles. I get about 50mpg average mileage, which I am very happy with :-)
