Suzuki bikes are the most underrated, especially this one and the 750. They aren’t the flashiest, or the best, but they tick all the boxes for a daily rider. Even the gixxer is such a comfortable kick a** sport bike.
If you think they are underrated then you are wrong. They sell more bikes than some European manufacturers like Ducati and BMW combined and obviously last longer than them. You should say Suzuki aren't much discussed amongst the online bike racers lol. The real bikers knows it's values.
@@deathtomorons9388 spot on. I didn’t know the sales numbers, so thanks for enlightening me on that. Love Suzuki bikes so much that I’m glad that they sell more than the “status” bikes. As a gixxer owner I’m always considered a threat to life😂
@@brandonjoseph3422 I also own a 2018 gixxer R1000. It's a great bike running till date without any problem. Suzuki also have a very rich MotoGp record. It's the 4th most winning manufacturer while ducati is only at 5th. Suzuki especially the Gixxers and the Hayabusa have a high prestige in the biker community. Don't forget that Suzuki was the first to revolutionize the world of naked bikes with the Suzuki Katana and the Legendary SV650X.
Suzuki bikes are very underrated. For instance the r6 is seen as such a track weapon. Thats all you hear about it. Track weapon. Track weapon. My gsxr 600 makes the same power at a lighter weight, but no one calls it a track weapon. Smh
After one year and 8000 km I have never tried the A mode😂 Bike is awesome, Dans review is spot on! Display is often critizised, but you can always read speed, gear and rpm😅 Engine, gearbox and suspension are fantastic for the road. Can recommend it also for inexperienced riders or even talented new riders. It is so much fun even in C Mode and with traction control fully on. But with so much performance you should know what you are doing. Accelerates from 100 to 200 kmh in 5,4 sec.😊
@@Alex-ro7vh If you want brutal inital bite from brakes, then the GSX-S cant deliver. But I am not a racer and dont like to brake hard before the corners, so no complaints here. I like the brakes and the brake feel. I can easily trail brake into corners. The rear shock is pretty good for the road, comfort is just right and in fast corners it is absolutely stable even on less than perfect roads, so no pumping or anything.
@@TheTuschi I guess it would be enough to upgrade brake hoses to braided ones if you wanted more bite in the first part of the braking? I've heard Suzuki technicians decided to stick to classic ones to make breaking more progressive / modular
@@sidineiperondi6351 No problems after 11.500 km. It is a pretty awesome naked bike for the road. You can also do a bit of touring. I added a luggage system from Hepco Becker and a Puig windscreen. Comfort is not bad at all, longest ride was 5,5 hours and 330 km. But even now it still is much more a sports bike than a tourer.
Any bike under 550 lbs and has over 115 hp is gonna be plenty quick for daily riders who don't go to track. This thing is even lighter and more powerful so it's a beast even if it's not the super duke
150 bhp, quickshifter,19 litre tank, Abs, Japanese reliability and a pleasure to work on, the ultimate naked road bike, one small point the paints a tad thin on the tank but Suzuki do a great paint protection kit
When Suzuki redid this and the 750 they did it right: Suspension, chassis, brakes - they chose good parts, and it all works together. They're really good bikes; a pleasure to ride.
I've owned this bike since Oct 21 and its just had its 600 mile service. When the better weather hits ill be on it daily and I'm planning some big runs...hopefully into Europe. Covid depending, and for 11k its a steal. Your review is spot on about this bike mate.
Have a 21MY GSX-S750 and it's a great bike. For the price point, it is superb on the road. Well setup for road riding, eager and confidence inspiring. I'll upgrade to the latest 1000 for sure later in the year based on how impressed I have been with the 750.
I have the same model - love it. One thing you can see in the review is that he's really not out of second gear - I like that the 750 lets you work the engine more. But I am curious what the liter bike is like.
Nice review. Too many people get caught up in spec sheets instead of actually riding a bike! I really like it as do most reviewers seemingly. It's an underrated relative bargain & perfect for the road. I like the looks too but not that colour. The dash is pretty average & a bit busy but I'm not overly fussed with TFTs so being an LCD isn't a deal breaker for me personally. Supposedly if you turn it up to max brightness it's not too bad.
All the reviews have been really good. However, since those first ride reviews, have you noticed how not one has mentioned it since in a group test. It's now once again completely off the radar.
@@longdog67 Yep totally agree. Essentially because it's not premium with at least 175bhp, it doesn't exist. There are potentially 2 types of group tests, one that looks at performance to determine the outright best bike & the other is a real world test that takes price in to account. When was the last time you saw the latter? The GSXS will never appear in a performance group test but could potentially win the real world one. Possibly one of the best value bikes on the market at the moment in terms of what you get for your money. On price it's competing with the KTM Duke 890R & Triumph Street Triple RS & has way more bang for your buck. However most people will completely ignore it to their detriment.
Great review. Watching this from Guyana, South America as a former 89 GSXR 750 Slingshot owner, I do appreciate this new model. A few of the previous generation are rolling around here and they're quite quick and comfortable!
The sv 650s seat is like riding on a 1930s tractor seat,worst seat ever. Almost as if suzuki forgot to fill it with foam! Even the bandits seat is better and that seat is terrible also haha!
I'm not much into Modern designed naked bikes, I'm more into classic design But this one is actually Really nicely designed, I mean at certain angles its not bad at all.
Is this video made a few months ago Dan ? Because this doesn't look like England at the end of January, judging by the summer gear that you are riding with. Nice bike and review by the way.
Remember this bike has the engine derived from the 2005 GSXR-1000K5 engine, which was a monster of an engine with no rider aids (thankfully) and when you put it mode-A and opened it up it sounded just like my old 2005 K5 Thou, great memories of that bike, perhaps I might look into one of these as I'm trying to find something more comfortable nowadays, just a bit unsure of those stacked headlights tbh. 🤔
I love the kit on this model but am in love with last year's body styling. I'm torn. There's a 2019 GSX-s1000 for 9k only an hour and a half from where I live. Loved it on the test ride, but liked the new kit even more when I test rode that one. Loved riding both, but the edge goes to the new one. Can't say both look good because, I love the old style looks.
The sharp angles of new bixe has sort of grown on me and it's how it is anyway. The front light reminds me of the remake of Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the new Zaphod Beeblebrox had his heads!🙃
Guys, come on. Of course you need to look at the dash, but it's more about looking at the road. It's a bike that you'll ride "feeling" the bike and the road. I assume that I don't keep looking at the dash. So, of course it would be better to have a TFT, but keep in mind this: cost x benefit. Maybe the best in this category. I Have a Z900RS Café but thinking about changing. Hope this comes to Brazil (and I think it will).
As far as the look goes and especially the headlights - if you don't like it there's always the Katana or the new GT. Similar performance-wise but different styling. The Katana is the one I'd choose.
My local dealer has new 2024 GSX-S1000's $2,600 off for just under $9,000 before fees and taxes. Seems like an excellent deal as far as performance/cost ratio. But I know as soon as I plunk down the money, Suzuki will come out with a newer version with an upgraded TFT screen.
Also in comparison the Aprilia Tuono is Lets be Honest a De Faired Sports Bike not a Super Naked, The KTM DUKE 1290 is just a Out of Control Animal over Tuned & the MT-10 is nice full of Tech But is not a very good Riding Position & has a Front Wheel made of Helium lol Were as the GSX-S1000 is a True Definition of a Super Naked, Smooth-Loads of Power, Stop and Corners like a Boss and the BEST THING - - - - - the S1000 is approx. $4-$6K -Thousands Cheaper than all the others. SO in my Mind its the Clear Winner because you have loads of Cash / Thousands left for Upgrades and Addons and to make it look and Ride even Better. And I heard a Rumour there Going to Introduce the Vinyl Package and Carbon accessories pack options late 2022 just like they have for the GSX S750 Options.
Its interesting that when I was racing a good few years ago on an 07 R1, the gsxr was the bike everyone wanted to be on. Great handling, fast, good torque. The kind of bike that allowed a good rider to be good. Now people say it's slow but I notice the lap times haven't come down. People are full of sh-t
nice bike has all the basics just good engine and good frame hasn't gone to crazy with all the electronic tech so looks as though he could shine on reliability. i like it the das has all the essentials and none of electronic clutter. For those that just want to ride and keep some money in your wallet perfect

Like your Work.
Simple anwser and forbtye money definitely yes! It will do the weekly commute and the weekend blasting with mates!! Obviously if you want more bhp then you will need to pay more for that! But I recon an average rider on a public road this will be as quick down the favourite road as bikes costing twice as much! Cause as usial the limiting factor is the rider capabilities and the resistance to the "scar yourself silly" moments. Not the bikes capabilities or grip from the tyres. On a track it probably will be a different story but as well a slow rider will be slow on a Streetfighter V4S as well as this! Good review!
Superb production and overlays with music. I will now watch the rest of the video haha! (after 26 seconds...) I love the natural review style, lovely vids and detailed shots. Keep it up!!
You are not wrong that the frame has a bit of flex to it , the front engine hanger section used to be a triangle, now the horizontal bar has Been deleted. I'd say it is even better that way! Same as the katana.
To those riders who are on the fence about how good the Suzuki bikes are!!! Look up the comparison between 2005 GSXR ( the very same engine this bike poses ) and Ducati Panigale 2020 V4 S. You'll laugh your a... off and then you'll save a tone of money by stepping out of the vanity race.
I am deciding between this Suzuki GSX-S1000 and the Triumph Speed Twin 900. Similar price (after 2024 Suzuki discount), weight, riding position, and lack of wind protection. Both good looking but in much different ways. Completely different power, performance, and character though! Which one would you go for?
Hi Dan, maybe a bit sad but as I'm waiting until May to buy one hopefully 22/23 model, but my question is maybe odd and you may not know the answer but here it is:
What mic setup have you got? when I used a gopro hero 9 and media mod and mic input it was such a pain to get it all running and it stopped working after a day :/
GoPro 9 with media mod. Connected up to a Sena 10S boom mic using two adapters, one is to get the Sena to 3.5mm size and then a TRRS to TRS. I've heard of others having issues but so far (touch wood), it works well for me.
So I rode and really like the gsxs1000. Is the gsxs750 as much fun? What would you say is the major difference I would notice if I rode them back to back?
Everyone needs at least one inline four in their motorcycling past, get one before they all disappear! Crazy to think the mighty inline four that crushed the entire British motorcycle industry is now considered the plain and boring engine of the bunch.🥺
Seems to be a good bike. Would like it better in mat black. The front is a bit like Darth Vader without his helmet, when he wanted a last look at Luke before he died. Thank you for this Dan!
@@Englishbikerdan To be honest though, as a current owner of GSX S750, I am not sure if it is worth upgrading to S1000 especially my ride is mostly in the city with occasional weekend tour. As much I am happy with my S750, Ninja 400 has been the best 'bang for the buck'' bike for my city ride with weekend tour among 7 bikes I tried in the past 4 yrs or so. My dilemma is.. that.. will S1000 be so much better than my current S750 at cruising at 50 - 75 mph ( 80 - 120 kmh) ?
You say "Reset your mind!... I ride a '98 Firestorm, I use my skill to brake without ABS. I use my right wrist to modulate power to the engine. I am in control, not a computer!
Your 98 Firestorm is gutless though. That’s the difference. Oh, and shittier brakes and even worse suspension. With such an immense skill level, why aren’t you racing in MotoGP? 😂
I do like Suzuki products but there's one glaring issue it's a hoodlum design Street fighter looking bike I think they should have used a big twin or an inline three cylinder in my opinion the four cylinder is just too uninspiring
Sounds like a great bike, I just don’t find it very good to look at, I like the front of the new gt better. I’m assuming the engine tune is the same on both bikes?
@@Englishbikerdan Yeah I think the engine is the highlight of the gsxs series of bikes, the K5 seems to be thought of as one of the best engines in motorcycling, (along with yamaha's CP3) I was between the Katana, with the same engine, and the CB1000r last year and went with the Honda strictly because of the fit and finish and overall quality look of the bike.
Interesting after riding the gsxs750 and 1000 and owning the cbr650 you decided on the SV 650. I guess high horsepower is not that important to you. I think I might be the same. Currently I ride an older gs500f but I'm thinking of upgrading.
Do you prefer this to the CB1000R? More low-down shove than one. I'd like the Suzuki if I had need for a litre bike, but the roads in Thailand don't require so much power. I used to have B-King in Europe. A bit too heavy at 265 kg, though. The 1000 is pretty light, relatively speaking. These litre-plus Suzuki inline fours can often get to over 80,000 miles without needing a valve shim. Fantastic old-school engines.
Nice review but I wish Dan would get his facts right. The new gsxs makes LESS peak torque (but more lower down the revs) and MORE power than the previous models not less! The engine is from the K5 to K8 gsxr 1000 and not the 750.
That's the downside of trying to remember all of the bike stats that I memorised while out riding and getting lost. It's definitely easier to sit at a desk and look them up. The K5 comment was meant as, have they gone the same route as the S750 and used the K5 engine (as in, K5 1000 gixxer for this particular bike). Which is a yes as I now know. I do this for fun and in my spare time, I'm not a professional rider or journalist, so I get things wrong on occasion. Worse things happen at sea.
Great review Dan, I know you did a review on the gt+ a few months ago and was wondering which model is more comfortable? I know that is subjective to what the rider likes. Is there a difference in leg room, handlebar height, seat comfort ect... and how do they compare to the ninja 1000sx on comfort?
Thank you so much for the video segment, I'm really enjoying it! I bought a 2018 SV650 and love the riding feel and handling, do you feel for a rider getting back into the saddle this would be a good second bike after an SV650 ?
Jeff, not directly on point, but I went from a 17 Sv650 to a 17 S1000r, where (for reasons set out on my post above) is probably similar in terms of rider aids to my 17 s1000r. I was a brand new rider when I bought the SV, and 14 months later bought the BM. I chose the BM over the 17 GSXS1000 because it lacked the rider aids the BM had, and a horrible snatchy throttle. At the time I was confident that the rider aids would help me grow in to what was at the time an insanely quick bike, where the reliance on my skills (then limited) due absence of rider aids on the Suzuki was too much a a risk, for me. The BM has been great, and 52000 later it is great. My theory is the 22 GSXS1000 would be very similar to my 17 s1000r in terms of rider aids and you will, if you have some self control and do things to improve your skills (I have done many track days). If anything, the Suzuki probably sounds a little better than the BMW (which sounds gruff at idle) and as you will know the reliability might be even better. But, hang on to the SV - I got AU$5500 on trade and wish I had it for urban commutes where 1000cc is just unnecessary, and the slow runs can cause carbonisation
I don't believe a TFT would cost a whole lot more and would be my preference on this style of bike. How do the ergonomics compare to the CB650R? I ask because I know you owned one and it's my current bike.
Sir, Is this your favorite between the Z900, Honda CB1000r or CB65R or the Ducati Monster. I can only have one and riding 30 years just want one for weekend rides etc. Please give me your choice between those and this Suzuki Thanks
i really, really don't like the new styling... too techy, too i-cant-describe-it-right-but-i-dont-quite-like-it... the organic styling of the s750 is still my favorite... but even so, i guess i would not mind riding the new s1000 or the 950... :3
Nice bike, but I wish it had the TFT dash from the GT, instead of the 1980s Atari dash. If this bike & the Katana both got the GT's dash, the cost per unit would surely be acceptable?
Good review really nice bike the only thing I am not to keen on is the front light setup would it stop me havin one if I could no , I think not. Suzuki make good engines in my experience and this one is no exception I am sure : ) .

Sold I own a 2013 GSXR 750 sounds so much like the 750 when you excelerate.
As far as the look goes and especially the headlights - if you don't like it there's always the Katana or the new GT. Similar performance-wise but different styling. The Katana is the one I'd choose.
Katana is so damn sexy. I feel that kind of power would mess me up though. I’d love one but I’m not sure I want all that power.
Katana tank is the letdown - only 12L 👎
If the Katana had a 17-19L tank I’d pick it all day any day, but because of that issue, the GT gets my pick.
@@mattfrancis8826 yeah that capacity is really tragic.
my dream bike. in indonesia suzuki bike is so rare. in indonesia is more honda and yamaha 😀
My local dealer has new 2024 GSX-S1000's $2,600 off for just under $9,000 before fees and taxes. Seems like an excellent deal as far as performance/cost ratio. But I know as soon as I plunk down the money, Suzuki will come out with a newer version with an upgraded TFT screen.
Danny English... What class... What distinction!
Also in comparison the Aprilia Tuono is Lets be Honest a De Faired Sports Bike not a Super Naked, The KTM DUKE 1290 is just a Out of Control Animal over Tuned & the MT-10 is nice full of Tech But is not a very good Riding Position & has a Front Wheel made of Helium lol Were as the GSX-S1000 is a True Definition of a Super Naked, Smooth-Loads of Power, Stop and Corners like a Boss and the BEST THING - - - - - the S1000 is approx. $4-$6K -Thousands Cheaper than all the others. SO in my Mind its the Clear Winner because you have loads of Cash / Thousands left for Upgrades and Addons and to make it look and Ride even Better. And I heard a Rumour there Going to Introduce the Vinyl Package and Carbon accessories pack options late 2022 just like they have for the GSX S750 Options.
I love this review I would be riding just like you and having the same commentary with myself I think I’m sold on this bike.
dream bike
Its interesting that when I was racing a good few years ago on an 07 R1, the gsxr was the bike everyone wanted to be on. Great handling, fast, good torque. The kind of bike that allowed a good rider to be good. Now people say it's slow but I notice the lap times haven't come down. People are full of sh-t
Anyone that says a gixxer is slow is full of it!
Great motorcycle Suzuki again best HP for your money , best value? .
nice bike has all the basics just good engine and good frame hasn't gone to crazy with all the electronic tech so looks as though he could shine on reliability. i like it the das has all the essentials and none of electronic clutter. For those that just want to ride and keep some money in your wallet perfect
My thoughts exactly!
A= Active(Sport), B= Basic (Smooth Throttle), C= Control-Rain Mode
So A=S, B=S and C=R. :D
@@Englishbikerdan And that's Company from Suzuki themselves lol
@@Englishbikerdan A=Active (100% ECU Power-Torque Fastest Responsiveness) , B=Basic (80% ECU -Touring/Street Ride/Urban), C - Control Mode AKA Rain Mode (60% ECU with Full TRC Control), Or Some would say From Suzuki - C Mode for Break in Period as well. In a Nut Shell like above: OFFICIALLY: A=(Active) - aka Race/Sport. B=(Basic) - aka Touring/Urban. C= (Control) aka Rain Mode. = Unofficially: A= Race, B= Streets, C= Rain.
@@Englishbikerdan It a Nut Shell they Should of just Named the Modes ABS get it lol - - A = / A lot of Braking Flat-out Riding, B= Always Braking Urban Cars etc, C = Cunts Cant Drive & Wet Roads, Lots of Braking. bahahahahahahaha.......BY The Way Great Videos Mate you Deserve a lot more Subs & Viewers on your Channel, Well Spoken Down to Earth and Honest. Like your Work.
Simple anwser and forbtye money definitely yes! It will do the weekly commute and the weekend blasting with mates!! Obviously if you want more bhp then you will need to pay more for that! But I recon an average rider on a public road this will be as quick down the favourite road as bikes costing twice as much! Cause as usial the limiting factor is the rider capabilities and the resistance to the "scar yourself silly" moments. Not the bikes capabilities or grip from the tyres. On a track it probably will be a different story but as well a slow rider will be slow on a Streetfighter V4S as well as this! Good review!
Gonna make a review of the new aprilia tuono v4 factory?? 😉👍
Superb production and overlays with music. I will now watch the rest of the video haha! (after 26 seconds...) I love the natural review style, lovely vids and detailed shots. Keep it up!!
You are not wrong that the frame has a bit of flex to it , the front engine hanger section used to be a triangle, now the horizontal bar has Been deleted. I'd say it is even better that way! Same as the katana.
Looks like a fun bike 👍😎
love how he's a grown man but such a child aswell
Very nice demo, thank you! Up to what speed is the engine sound actually audible and enjoyable to you?
Hi Dan .. Great review. Just wondered how you find the Shark zarco helmet?
Cheers
Lee
To those riders who are on the fence about how good the Suzuki bikes are!!!
Look up the comparison between 2005 GSXR ( the very same engine this bike poses ) and Ducati Panigale 2020 V4 S. You'll laugh your a... off and then you'll save a tone of money by stepping out of the vanity race.
I am deciding between this Suzuki GSX-S1000 and the Triumph Speed Twin 900. Similar price (after 2024 Suzuki discount), weight, riding position, and lack of wind protection. Both good looking but in much different ways. Completely different power, performance, and character though! Which one would you go for?
Hi Dan,
maybe a bit sad but as I'm waiting until May to buy one hopefully 22/23 model, but my question is maybe odd and you may not know the answer but here it is:
The PCP on my SV650 finishes this year and I’m seriously considering one of these next. You think you one of these would be a good ‘next bike’
Yeah absolutely. Proper good bike this. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan yeah think I’ll probably stick with Suzuki and go for one of these
What mic setup have you got? when I used a gopro hero 9 and media mod and mic input it was such a pain to get it all running and it stopped working after a day :/
GoPro 9 with media mod. Connected up to a Sena 10S boom mic using two adapters, one is to get the Sena to 3.5mm size and then a TRRS to TRS. I've heard of others having issues but so far (touch wood), it works well for me.
So I rode and really like the gsxs1000. Is the gsxs750 as much fun? What would you say is the major difference I would notice if I rode them back to back?
Great review and edit, mate 👍🏻
Nice review Dan .
Nice review Dan. If you had a choice of this bike vs the 2021 MT09, what would you choose? I'm struggling to decide.
I've not ridden the MT09 so I can't advise between the two.
All the white vans are down in Great Missenden? Nice review.
I wish they were! Thank you! 👍
Enjoyed watching you getting lost in Upton Grey!
Everyone needs at least one inline four in their motorcycling past, get one before they all disappear! Crazy to think the mighty inline four that crushed the entire British motorcycle industry is now considered the plain and boring engine of the bunch.🥺
Right!?
True dat!
If I ever upgrade from my MT07, this one is very high on the list
Seems to be a good bike. Would like it better in mat black. The front is a bit like Darth Vader without his helmet, when he wanted a last look at Luke before he died.
Thank you for this Dan!
Haha, love the Vader analogy, it's spot on! Cheers John. 👍
I’m about to build one that will have 204 HP at the rear. Should be “Interesting”
What are you doing to it
What a cool bike!!!.. The third party windshield/flyscreen is available, right?
Yeah they'll do something. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan To be honest though, as a current owner of GSX S750, I am not sure if it is worth upgrading to S1000 especially my ride is mostly in the city with occasional weekend tour. As much I am happy with my S750, Ninja 400 has been the best 'bang for the buck'' bike for my city ride with weekend tour among 7 bikes I tried in the past 4 yrs or so.
My dilemma is.. that.. will S1000 be so much better than my current S750 at cruising at 50 - 75 mph ( 80 - 120 kmh) ?
You say "Reset your mind!... I ride a '98 Firestorm, I use my skill to brake without ABS. I use my right wrist to modulate power to the engine. I am in control, not a computer!
Ah everyone's a critic!
Your 98 Firestorm is gutless though. That’s the difference. Oh, and shittier brakes and even worse suspension.
With such an immense skill level, why aren’t you racing in MotoGP? 😂
I do like Suzuki products but there's one glaring issue it's a hoodlum design Street fighter looking bike I think they should have used a big twin or an inline three cylinder in my opinion the four cylinder is just too uninspiring
Cool bike 🏍 😎
Sounds like a great bike, I just don’t find it very good to look at, I like the front of the new gt better. I’m assuming the engine tune is the same on both bikes?
Seemed identical in the engine department. No bad thing I reckon!
@@Englishbikerdan Yeah I think the engine is the highlight of the gsxs series of bikes, the K5 seems to be thought of as one of the best engines in motorcycling, (along with yamaha's CP3) I was between the Katana, with the same engine, and the CB1000r last year and went with the Honda strictly because of the fit and finish and overall quality look of the bike.
@@KB-yj5xp @K B The CB1000R is a fantastic bike too! Can't blame you for going that way.
Interesting after riding the gsxs750 and 1000 and owning the cbr650 you decided on the SV 650. I guess high horsepower is not that important to you. I think I might be the same. Currently I ride an older gs500f but I'm thinking of upgrading.
6:15. I love getting lost on my bike.
Do you prefer this to the CB1000R? More low-down shove than one. I'd like the Suzuki if I had need for a litre bike, but the roads in Thailand don't require so much power. I used to have B-King in Europe. A bit too heavy at 265 kg, though. The 1000 is pretty light, relatively speaking. These litre-plus Suzuki inline fours can often get to over 80,000 miles without needing a valve shim. Fantastic old-school engines.
Tough choice between the two. The CB is a very pretty bike but for comfort I'd go with the Suzuki. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan Interesting it's more comfortable.
Ooooooooh biking season is a coming! Scottish roads still salty 😓.
Good review.
Nice review but I wish Dan would get his facts right. The new gsxs makes LESS peak torque (but more lower down the revs) and MORE power than the previous models not less! The engine is from the K5 to K8 gsxr 1000 and not the 750.
That's the downside of trying to remember all of the bike stats that I memorised while out riding and getting lost. It's definitely easier to sit at a desk and look them up. The K5 comment was meant as, have they gone the same route as the S750 and used the K5 engine (as in, K5 1000 gixxer for this particular bike). Which is a yes as I now know. I do this for fun and in my spare time, I'm not a professional rider or journalist, so I get things wrong on occasion. Worse things happen at sea.
How does it compare to the cb1000r or the mt10?
I don't like the dashboard ☹️ Greetings from Colombia 👍🏻👊🏻
GSXS 1000 or CB1000R? Which handles better?
I'd like to see you review the S1000R
Me too, I'm working on it. 😁
Great review!
Great review Dan, I know you did a review on the gt+ a few months ago and was wondering which model is more comfortable? I know that is subjective to what the rider likes. Is there a difference in leg room, handlebar height, seat comfort ect... and how do they compare to the ninja 1000sx on comfort?
Nicely done review. Well explained and showed. I am more interested in the GT version, but the engine is the same. Keep going. :)
Yeah the GT is good too and a bit more protection from the elements. Cheers! 👍
@@Englishbikerdan Agree on that. :)
@@Englishbikerdan Agree on that.
Very noice Dan the man! Love ❤️ the starting! Beautiful hummmm! 😂 @14.50 mins!!!
Nice video. You should try Z900.
Thank you so much for the video segment, I'm really enjoying it!
I bought a 2018 SV650 and love the riding feel and handling, do you feel for a rider getting back into the saddle this would be a good second bike after an SV650 ?
Jeff, not directly on point, but I went from a 17 Sv650 to a 17 S1000r, where (for reasons set out on my post above) is probably similar in terms of rider aids to my 17 s1000r. I was a brand new rider when I bought the SV, and 14 months later bought the BM. I chose the BM over the 17 GSXS1000 because it lacked the rider aids the BM had, and a horrible snatchy throttle. At the time I was confident that the rider aids would help me grow in to what was at the time an insanely quick bike, where the reliance on my skills (then limited) due absence of rider aids on the Suzuki was too much a a risk, for me. The BM has been great, and 52000 later it is great. My theory is the 22 GSXS1000 would be very similar to my 17 s1000r in terms of rider aids and you will, if you have some self control and do things to improve your skills (I have done many track days). If anything, the Suzuki probably sounds a little better than the BMW (which sounds gruff at idle) and as you will know the reliability might be even better. But, hang on to the SV - I got AU$5500 on trade and wish I had it for urban commutes where 1000cc is just unnecessary, and the slow runs can cause carbonisation
I don't believe a TFT would cost a whole lot more and would be my preference on this style of bike. How do the ergonomics compare to the CB650R? I ask because I know you owned one and it's my current bike.
Incredibly comfortable, more so than the 650r. Closer in comfort to the older 650f; even more I'd say.
I ride a 500 ktm dual sport and I'm a conservative style rider, but I want a bike with punch. Would it be too much for me?
Depends on your riding style, but I think you'd be fine. 👍
@EnglishBikerDan I ride primarily offroad with it, and i like to ride fast.
Back door action?
LOL - A Mode is Like Riding a NINJA ZX-10R lol
Sir, Is this your favorite between the Z900, Honda CB1000r or CB65R or the Ducati Monster. I can only have one and riding 30 years just want one for weekend rides etc. Please give me your choice between those and this Suzuki Thanks
I'd probably choose this! Great value 1000cc bike!
i really, really don't like the new styling... too techy, too i-cant-describe-it-right-but-i-dont-quite-like-it...
the organic styling of the s750 is still my favorite...
but even so, i guess i would not mind riding the new s1000 or the 950... :3
Fair enough ebough, we like what we like! 👍
Honda's are Red
Suzuki is Blue
Japanese Bike is great
And so do you....
Haha, very good!
I was surprised to hear only 152 hp... must be those damn emissions strangling it out.
Yeah, 'only' 152hp! 😁
It's not only mate. It's a lot
Nice bike, but I wish it had the TFT dash from the GT, instead of the 1980s Atari dash. If this bike & the Katana both got the GT's dash, the cost per unit would surely be acceptable?
TFT from the GT would be my preference too.
Either that or an analog rev counter 💪
Good review really nice bike the only thing I am not to keen on is the front light setup would it stop me havin one if I could no , I think not. Suzuki make good engines in my experience and this one is no exception I am sure : ) .
CB1000r or GSXS1000 ??
Both are so similar I think it'll come down to which style you prefer.
