Gsxf/gsxr?

[nonie]

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the F and R (GSX) bikes? Can find heaps about the R model but nothing about the F. (probably extinct !!!) (mine is the GSX 705F)
thanks

I mean mime is the GSX 750 F !!!!!

[rapid van cleef]

i had a '96 gsx 600f.

good first big bike. quick enough to trounce most cars. nice n comfy. but heavy.

i think the motor is detuned version of the r. its the more comfy version basically. i rode one round a tour of scotland and was keeping up with zx12, 999 and blackbird through the twisties.

suspension was very soft on mine and was pretty knackered when i sold it. steering it was like turning an ocean liner. had a turning circle the size of earths orbit!

i learned a lot from that bike.

To the best of my knowledge the GSX750 motor is a detuned GSXR750 J - detuned with lower lift cams. The J cams drop in.....

[davebullet]

GSXR = clip on handlebars (more sporty / aggressive riding position), tuned for peak rev HP and torque
GSX/F = one piece handlebars, more upright riding position, heavier bike, tuned for midrange torque and lower top end HP

Exception is when the R is not next to an X - eg. GSR600

Also, R = rooted and F = farked.

The F stands for "Faggot", so i'm told.

Thanks for that. This is a smaller bike than my last one but get more bang for the bucks when trading down when you go to this type of bike. Its a good bike and am enjoying the change from the cruiser. Thought I would get rid of it when I can afford to go back to the cruiser type but might actually hang on to it for a bit. Riding position is far more comfortable and really enjoying the handling on the twisties. Will still get a cruiser for those laid back rides and keep this one for fun.

or
GSX750 R <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/robertom/print_gsx750r_amarelo.jpg" />
Very different styles of bikes

I have a 94 GSX-F 750.....I was looking at the GSX-R before I got the F but found the R so much more sports orientated..yes it had more power and such, but the riding position did not suit me....

thanks

Um, you own one and you dont know the difference?

Read about it on the suzuki website. F is a more upright position and less power and more for commuting than a R or race position and performance oriented sports bike.

Look the same too me , both got 2 too many cylinders :yes: :nya:

OMG!!!!! you crack me up. You and that noisy v-twin thing you got :woohoo:

Could never figure out why they used the shorter stroke 750J motor on a lesser tuned version when a longer-stroke one should have (theoretically) made more sense for mid-range tuing.

Um....like the RF900 used the obselete GSXR1100m units, Suzuki had heaps of those engines left over when production stopped on the original 'R' model?

[Grumph]

They'd tooled up for a long production run of the short stroke motor then found it wasn't as good "real world" as the old one.....had to find something to put it in to recover tooling costs so invented a new niche market 750 - which has outlasted the motor which replaced it in the GSXR.
Bet the bean counters at Suzuki are still laughing at that....

Hey I'm not dissing it, the 750 "Teapot Katanas" are good machines for what they are designed for. Good strong reliable motor. I helped Nasty with the maintenance on hers and was easy to work on.

F - more weight, cheaper fittings (like brakes and suspension)

F is probably more practical on NZ roads, but it's not like the Rs are that impractical. I'll always pay extra for less weight, YMMV.

[breakaway]

They're bikes that cater to different markets. An F is for people who just want to cruise, and R is for pushing the envelope. In saying that, I'm sure the F can't be made to boogey though :p

i rode a 600F around NZ for 50,000km. rock solid motors. not really a sports bike but really comfortable and well capable of getting from a to b quickly if you want it to..

[slofox]

The F and the R letters refer to the types of rider the designers had in mind...


R = Raving maniac

F = Friggin' pussy

:whistle:

GSX750F is just plain ugly.

Its like you walked in to get a Lamborghini and walked out with an Audi.
Its not bad - you just were cheated is all.
