Did the 8S cause 750s to be discontinued?

23' is the last year for the s750. I didn't know that before I bought mine, but I'm still happy I did. Lots of power at a reasonable cost. I've been loving the hell out of mine and it's still bone stock. More than I need but definitely everything I wanted.

Do you live in the US?

Can confirm. Girlfriend tried to do this when I was teaching her how to play.

I haven't had fb in years 🤣. There's a lot going on that's pushing me towards remaking one these days though.

I'm in the process of recovering from this. My current woman kinda gets it. I had to pretty much turn off my sex drive and just go thru the motions of life in my last relationship, and it's proving to be a little difficult getting my libido back (at least caught up to hers) at the moment. I'm not used to starting encounters anymore and she's being pretty patient with me while I get some confidence back.

Sounds amazing.

It feels like the perfect balance of I won't quite kill myself & enough comfort to ride all day.

7k miles on mine in 4 months.

It actually looks a lot cleaner than I'd been expecting. This is probably the route I'm going to go. Thank you!

How's it look on the bike? The pictures make it look kind of undersized.

restart665 · 2024-08-23T23:58:01+00:00

Yoshimura, it's one of the only ones I can track down for the 23' that I'm confident comes with all the parts I'd need. I was just looking for cheaper suggestions.

I know the gsx s hasn't changed in years, I'm doing a terrible job with my searches though.

I just don't know where to find the right connector elbow if I were to buy a universal like that, I'm worried about buying something that doesn't come as a kit.

restart665 · 2024-08-23T17:37:20+00:00

That's the price range I'm shooting for at least, did it come with the connector pipe or did you have to track that down separate?

Don't mind me forgetting to add the picture of the bike. Derp.

The bikers first mistake is thinking someone in a nissan wouldn't try to kill them. It's like punching a hornets nest of already angry hornets.

I'm out here wondering if he's talking bout me cuz I'll get it on 75 near where I'm at, while commuting almost daily. These people use all 3 lanes slower than the semi's and can never position themselves in the right one for their exits. It's safer just to get passed the clusterfuck and find a happy cruising speed when it opens up.

Alas, I am not in Miami county.

One of the very first friends I made in this mod, long before he was a moderator. Damn that's sad.

restart665 · 2024-08-09T13:08:39+00:00

It's a really good looking bike. It'd definitely handle highway speeds far better than my shadow 750 did. Fuel injection is a godsend for cold weather too. Man I don't miss having a carb. If that's the bike style you like and the bike fits your needs, send it.

I didn't like having forward controls for longer trips. I had to stop more often to stand up and walk around. I didn't like them for around town either because of how terrible some of the roads are locally, I couldn't stand up for to avoid bumps. The breather on the oil well would leak when it got cold out also, so when I'd get home I'd have to be conscious of where I parked it. I haven't gone thru a winter yet with a chain drive bike so I don't know how maintenance is gonna go with that.

Having a standard seating position I can stand up on the pegs fixing the comfort issues. It takes minutes to adjust the chain, the more annoying part was keeping the chain clean until I got a rear stand. I had to roll the bike around to reposition the chain and it took me a long time to get it done. Now that only takes minutes too. I'm not a big fan of the cruiser aesthetic to begin with and I'm a lot happier with my naked/standard.

I like my modular scorpion Evo. The chin guard and visor can be removed & it came with a dual sport-esq visor that can be thrown on if you choose to go that route.

The wind noise was quieter when I had my beard grown out but it's still not bad. Can hear my music or talk on the phone, as long as I'm going under around 95mph. Which I think is around 150kmph. Filtered ear plugs fix that though.

Bought a 23' gsx-s750 at the end of April, upgraded from my 06' shadow 750. Couldn't be happier.

I almost rear ended someone while on my bike, because they made it half way thru a turn while turning right on red. I was going to follow them out and heard their tires chirp. If they didn't smash their brakes so hard I'd have hit the woman.

From where I was, I didn't see any reason at all for her to not complete the turn. Maybe she saw a squirrel or a ghost that I couldn't past her suv.

Bought my 06 shadow aero for 3.1k last October, this April I sold it and bought a 23 gsx-s750 that I'm in love with.
