on the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX,
the Yamaha MT-09 and SP, and,
yes, the new YZF-R9 (check out
the test here).
Don't expect much in the way
of comfort while on the 750.
This is a pure sportbike, so
comfort has taken a firm back
seat to an attack ride position,
but it's still reasonable enough
to expect hour-long rides before
you need to get off and stretch.
But remember, this ain't no tour

ing bike.

RIDE REVIEW I 2025 SUZUKI GSX-R750
many years ago. The reason is
the Suzuki was homologated
with these tires back in 2011,
and as nothing's been changed
since and no new homologation
has been issued, that's what the
bike comes with.
I immediately threw those
in the trash and put on a set of
Bridgestone Battlax S23s, the
tire of which we did the launch
in South Africa in 2023. It is an
absolute gem of a tire that has
since become standard fitment
Those 419 pounds draped in
blue and white bodywork are
positioned almost perfectly.
A slightly forward, but not too
much, weight bias allows you
to load up the front wheel with
plenty of gusto, making the 750
turn on a dime. One thing you
will want to do is ditch the stan
-
dard tires, as the 750 is (as far
as
I know) the only bike to still
come standard with Bridges
-
tone's Battlax BT016 rubber that
went
out of production many,
There are few bikes
that love corners like the
750. It's a real sportbike
rider's ride.
