You are still young. I used to have one of these. Don't get carried away because it can kill you in a split second.

How can a 21 year old even get insurance on a bike like this?

Alex Morgan lol I’m 19 with one and it’s only 50 bucks. Just gotta shop around, I got the best price from a local insurance company.

@@bonekmcdowell BS you did. Lol!

Alex Morgan no bs, it’s only 47 bucks a month and for my 08 gsxr 600 it was only 35 bucks a month! It’s only liability though...

Haha, still in 2019!

still in 2020

Remember when i was 10 years old and first saw that bike i was like this will be the most beautiful bike that will ever exist ....

Still in 2021

@@sembangbola845 still in 2021 lol

Still have it? :-)

@@sund5 I finally sold it end of last summer after getting a 2020 GSXR-1000R. I definitely still miss it, but the newest version is just so insane

@Peter Angles '05 has zero electronics and is down on power by a lot. that makes no sense. my '20 makes me look like a way better rider than I am. I can more easily push it to the limits of traction without fear of crashing

GSX-R750 K5 no slouch. Only 0.3 secs behind at 1/4 mile. Faster & lighter too.

Well said fella 👍 ! Greetings from Portsmouth England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Greetings. I just bought a 2005 GSXR 1000 three weeks ago. When this guy said these bikes have an incredible bottom end, he was telling the truth. This bike pulls hard from low revs, it's feels insane. I hope you get one of these bikes, it's worth it.

GSX-R750, K5, best ever. Legend.

I remember back in 1998 when I had a 96 Honda CBR600F3, and all I did was a Yoshi full exhaust with 1 tooth down on the front sprocket, and I was riding with a friend that just bought a SRAD 98 GSXR 750 and I was blowing him away. I didn't even know it was happening because I was just riding with him in a group. It was so bad that he actually thought there was something wrong with his 750. 750's just seem like a waste. In my opinion, get a 600 to do some learning, and then graduate to a 1000. Even the new Yamaha R7 is completely stupid in my opinion. I believe the r6 gives it a spanking. Therefore I went from the XBR to a 2003 R1, which is old as hell, but I found it with only 10,500 miles. I did plenty of upgrades, and it's as fast as I'd ever need, and weighs the same as a 600. 423 wet weight before my mods. Probably 410 lbs now. So, even my 20 year old R1 would spank all 750's, which is why I suggest you try a liter bike. I think you'd never look at a 750 again.

Agree 100%

Thanks for the comment ☺️

Dean Dunphy I have had absolutely no issues at all.. (knocking on wood) I wouldn't worry about the frame. Haven't read or heard of any snapping or bending the frame. I wheelie it all the time without worrying. 40 thousand miles and still going strong. I put a Yoshimura TRC tri oval slip on and had my power commander tuned last year. It's still putting out 169hp. I think the bike looks great and runs even better. I wish I seen one with that low of miles. I would have two. Good luck and definitely go with your gut when choosing. Take care

Thanks for the comment graham ,your a lucky man being in the IOM !

Hi, yes it was ridden over the weekend and polished again ! :)..pure awesomeness ..thanks for the comment

cheers !

Great choice Steven 👍

Tbh ,the zx10 2004 is on my list to own one day ,ive never ridden one but all the reviews say its got a more insane top end rush than the k5,and I love the looks of it ,what swayed me towards the k5 for now is its amazing bottom end power ....but I change my bikes all the time lol...so watch this space in the future ...thanks mark

@@markpulling12 would you recommend this bike ? Also are they fast ?

+Spikes Stuff once the emissions restrictions came out it kinda stifled the bikes i think, 2005/6 was the last of the beasts really

My comment is 5 years old and I just got a ❤. I've since owned a K9 from 2016-2018. It was more top end. Nowhere close to the midrange of the K5. Bikeless again, 4 now.

Yes ,I like the way the engine combines insane power when you open it up ,but at the other end its amazingly flexible with a killer bottom end too,not many engines can combine both ,I rode the bmw s1000rr and yes it was a bit more powerful at the top (as if you really needed it !) but didnt have the bottom end grunt of the suzuki ....apparently I was told by a bmw salesman that they modeled the s1000rr engine on the 1000k5 ....regards MARK

@@markpulling12 That is correct, I own a bmws1000rr as well,After I put exhaust, filter,pc5 on my bmws1000rr it runs strong down low as well ,it's crazy fast,still ride my k6 as my daily rider has lots of mods as well,tre made a big difference in k6 quickness. Bmws1000rr based there bike after the gixxer you can see the similarities looking at them,They sit side by side In my garage

@@skatman3872 thanks for the comment Awesome bikes 👍

Yes brandon the bottom end on these is incredible ,so is the mid and top end lol cheers mark

@Peter Angles Ngl the ZX10R was such a good bike, but it did feel very primitive.

Dan gsxr100,000 k5 seriously? Want kind of big servicing have you done in that time if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks peter ! :)

Bradders 2016 - They only crack from crashes and slamming wheelies. The welds aren't going to just magically crack on their own. Check the frame and If you crash just get a new frame. Reinforce the welds if you're that scared. Amazing bike regardless. The price hasn't really dropped that much.

The price hasn't dropped at all...clean ones with 30k miles are still up for nearly 5 grand

itll blow your mind ...enjoy :)

Thanks and shes so quick too.

GSX-R750 K5: best they ever made, great choice.

Apart from Suzuki doing recalls on the frame cracking on the welds

Patrick Johansson k7-k8 i guess...

Thanks I'm down the road from you in Poole :)

@@markpulling12 Well i'm in the middle, Southampton :P Thinking about getting this for my first bike, but worried about too much power and being 6'2

rescuelad4 I had one last year, but i had to let it go....When you get yours...dont let it go...(crying while typing)

I know, I am a bit young yet to get one but I will get a GSXR 1000 Glass Sparkle Black off the website. Also I won't let it go so I just make sure I look after it properly and ride it wherever whenever. :D :D

rescuelad4 If thats your first bike, you have to be careful. 1000's are no joke.

rescuelad4 where in the world are you from ? ..here in the uk you would probably struggle to get ,or the cost of insurance would be sky high,would def recommend a gsxr 600 first,as these 1000s are bullet fast ...all the best whatever you get ..mark :)

mark pulling I started ted on a 750. I think thats a good bike to start on. I was really pressed to get a 1000 because it sounded so much bigger and advanced than the 750. I never flipped my 750, but i did on my 1000. Cold tires are easier to handle on a 600/750. I think it all comes down to self control. But if I did start out on a 1000, I think i would have fucked myself up, because the power is such a surprise. My first 1000 was a zx10.

The idle settles down nicely when the bike has warmed up ,when I started it was stone cold ,hope you find yourself a nice one ,they are amazing to ride ..regards MARK.

Spec cold idle is 1500-2000 dropping to 1200 after 20 secs. (+ or - 100)

Hi very good question ,the power of this bike is insane on full throttle ,BUT the fueling and throttle response is so perfect you are always totaly in control,top gear roll on is equally as good ,you will not regret getting one ,ive owned pretty much every type of sportsbike in my 25 years of riding and have no plans to sell this as it is the best ...please feel free to ask any more questions ...thanks mark

Dick Turpin - If you're worried about too much power and like cornering get a 600. R6 best cornering bike IMO.

+Yaren Red it has way more power than the cbr 600rr and lots more bottom end power than the 1000rr...the engine is what makes the k5s so legendary

Thanks Mark, I think I made up my mind now...

hi fresh ...enjoy your gixxr !

Ride safe, good luck

sorry alex I sold it to a mate about a year ago got a zzr 1400 now :)

Don't bother mate. They all had recalls for there frames cracking on the welds

K5 is definitely the better model ...lighter better handling ...before all the rider aids came into effect ...k5 doesn't have abs... would definitely recommend the k5/k6 cheers mark

mark pulling thanks

Thanks ...yes def no plans to get rid of this one its that good ! ,weathers looking good now so will be out on it tonight :)

+roadsonboard Hi I think i was just lucky with the price I paid ...and yes they seem to be arrround the £4.5 k mark still ..they really are that good so I suppose thats why they hold their value. just check the frame and front brake master cylinder recalls have been done other than that they are bullet proof ..all the best mark

+mark pulling Thanks for that. I will try and look up the frame recall, I didn't know anything about that.

Thanks for the video. I ended up with a 6,500 mile 2 owner example of a GSXR 1000 K7 with twin yoshi's, under tray etc etc. Didn't fit on a K3, K5's just varied far too much price wise and condition wise. Have to admit the engine is shocking smooth, good fuelling and pulls cleanly and quickly like a turbine from tick over. Very easy to ride at low rpm which I wasn't expecting. Thanks again!

brilliant k3 is still amazing :)

+Mr Squirrel Hi im the same as you 170, and it was perfect for me my feet were nearly flat on the floor ..no problems at all greetings aswell from south of uk ,,mark

yes youll be fine its as easy to ride as your cbr just with loads more grunt you really will be blown away by its performance :) try and get a demo on one from a dealer first

Hi my friend! You go to GSXR from F4i? I have the same doubt...but my decision is between CBR 954 and this K5 GSXR. What you speak?
