#suzuki #bikeworld #gsxs1000
I like Chris reviews because he takes the bike for what it is. Not what should be and how other 5000 POUNDS + bikes are better,... Great video.
Me too
Man people just love ragging on suzuki. Yamaha builds a bike with garbage suspension That gets horrible fuel econ....and has a dash that looks like a fitbit. People love it. Suzuki makes a bike better than that one in every way and sell it for the same price....people hate it
I’ve wondered how Yamaha gets the press on the MT too given the points you raised
They prefer the cross plane crank , it's not faster just feels it .
Most accurate statement ever! I’ve owned a Vstrom DL1000 and 2 hayabusas. Just bought a 2023 gsx s1000 all black. Best street bike I have ever owned. Money wasn’t an issue. In fact I was going to get a superduke as I race ktm on dirt. But all the tech which I’d never use, reliability issues and the price tag turned me off. I wanted a naked and out of all the options I got the gsx. At 6’3 most other naked bikes felt cramped but the gsx fits me perfect. The nimble feel , power and connectivity to the road is world class. Everyone else is focusing on tech and new and improved which ends up being in the shop more than the road. I wanted simple, reliable, powerful and fun and the gsx is the perfect bike. The price allows me to get full exhaust, ecu flash/tune (as if 152hp isn’t enough) and customize it my way. Wtg Suzuki!!!
@Eric Pittman advertising-review dollars at work. Some companies push limits wich is cool I guess. But if I want a street bike I'm going suzuki all day
@@DasChristoff i agree with you suzuki is pretty good at everything but not the best and the good points are more than enough to make you happy the natural sound of the k5 engine block is impressive
Suzuki motorcycles are incredibly underrated bikes. Look at this one, 150bhp, good handling, good brakes, good fun and a fat wodge of cash in your pocket! Also, it's a Suzuki so there won't be and warranty work as you get on certain European bikes either. And this has a bigger petrol tank too! What's not to like?
The price 😂
@@Giancarlowijman $11,000 for a Liter bike is unheard of... you must be looking at a different bike.
Well done Suzuki!
Some of us know this bike contains one of the most legendary 1L four cylinder engines ever made. K5-K8 long-stroke burly beast. Yes in stock form most everything these days is kind of finicky and muted thanks to emissions regs pushing air-fuel ratios dangerously lean. But this K5 engine really snarls with a unique note when you pop on a catless full pipe, uncork the ECU and see what it's made of.
It's reliable as a stone axe. It's been turbocharged, modified, bore/stroked, nitrous oxided, and tuned within an inch of its life and it holds up. Moore Mafia pushed one to 700 horsepower for dragracing. The Stuntfreaks Team TH-cam channel has pounded the crap out of a K5, drowned it in a cold lake, bounced off rev-limiter mercilessly, put it in snowmobiles, big dirtbikes, run it dead of winter, in the summer, crashed it numerous times, and it just keeps going without mechanical or electrical issues.
Some of us like to sling a leg over a powerful naked bike, know it's always going to start, provide plenty of poke, feel solid and well built, know there's dealership support all over the place, and not look at valves or shims for over 20,000 miles. It's going to shift, run, behave reliably all of the time. Sometimes the "new hotness" from Italy or Bavaria or Austria just drives up the dollar value into crazy levels of stupid and how many more percentage points of the motorcycle experience do they provide for double the price?
Props for going to 5-gallon tank. One thing I would have really liked, a cruise control.
@HahrtDood A few buttons and some programming, that should be all it takes because it's got electronic throttle now.
I found the proper exhaust system for this bike. th-cam.com/video/fEOttVjgTvQ/w-d-xo.html
In regards to your last statement, yes, cruise control and this bike checks every single box for me.
If it's Chris I'm watching. Period! ❤️ Even if I don't like the bike so much . .
Same here
Couldn't agree more.....👍
The man is a force in motorcycle journalism
Totally agree
Same here
I just love my 2023 GSXS1000!!
I’ve put 5000 in the first 3 months😮 it’s so smooth!!!
Man, I really look forward to Chris' reviews on here. He is brilliant. Engaging, knowledgeable and full of credibility. Said it before but I really think he is one of the best in the business at the moment. Top Gear material if the chance comes along.......👊😎
Suzuki is number 1 build quality imo and solid bikes i love suzuki then kawi then yamaha/honda. I had an sv650 with 45000 miles on it and it didnt burn any oil or smoke and it pulled like a brand new bike.
This guy is f..ing fantastic on reviewing bikes.
This is a solid, real world bike you could use everyday and enjoy - not a garage queen or fair weather toy you’d be scared of getting dirty. Few mods could really turn up the performance and volume too if so desired ☝️
I'm an old school lover but I must admit Suzuki nailed it again with that street fighter look
Man, you (and your team) make such a good job. Thanks. Cheers
Rarely you see a reviewer like this. Not a suck-up. Just seems like an honest guy with a well thought out opinion after a good day of fun.
Great video. Great camerawork and great reviewer. More of this :)
Hello my friend! Thanks for the review I was waiting for your take on this bike cheers !
I had a 2016. It was a great bike that did everything well. It just didn't make my nuts tighten when I looked at it.
yew just bought a Tuono as well
Great review, great rider, best bang for your buck street fighter naked bike. The headlight looks like a Transformer ( I liked it).
Suzuki is the best value bike, great performance and reliable.
Did you get to ride they new s1000r too? Would be interesting how you found that in comparison?
I was at the peak of my riding they’re in the K5… Absolutely legendary hands-down Suzuki is repping OG streetfighters and I love it… Because you’re exactly right… It’s been a little less on the stock bike… And then go to town on the mods!!!
Absolutely right Chris, Brembo pads are not good. Both my bikes have Brembo calipers and pads from new. Pads are what people describe as wooden. No feeling whatsoever. Changed my pads on my Gixxer and my Beemer to EBC's Double H's and night and day difference. More feeling and very progressive. At last someone saying what is true about brembo pads. Thank you. :)
I think it's an OE pad thing - suppliers like Brembo, Nissin etc will often have to make pads that meet a manufacturer's standard for performance which will include mileage among other things, all while coming in at a price which gets them the contract. Hence it's so noticeable when you put in an aftermarket pad that's designed for performance.
Hope you enjoyed my fave roads.... recognise them from any angle👍 Bike looks a peach and another cracking review, thanks for sharing 🙂🏍️👍
The Top End .... K5 😍😍😍
I hope they restyle the faired version of this bike as well and turn it into an Ninja 1000 SX competitor...
Was just about to say. If Suzuki came out with a faired version of this, I would save up for it in a heartbeat.
Top review again 👍 A good, fun bike that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, not bad looking either.
Chris your reviews are best in youtube !! 👍
Cheers!
This guy knows how to do a bike review! Big thumbs up!
It is really nice to see Chris doing the review !
I Love this bike and the 750 !!!###
cool bike for sure!"
Great review mate! Hoping they bring out a 750 version. Having owned several 1000cc+ bikes I'm keen for a smaller engine that can be revved out on the street somewhat legally.
agree 100% you'll be stuck on 1 to max 3rd gear boring on 750 you can really open it up!
I have the 2018 750 and it’s fantastic.
My present favourite bike
Not in love with the individual headlight modules but otherwise, I’m totally in love with the angular and sharp styling around the bike. Unsurprisingly, I’m also keen on the KTM Duke 890 😁
Lovely roads by the way
Chris.......Best man at work!!!
Awesome honest review…..great bit of real world kit 👍🏻
Top review as usual. Funny too!
The bike is not my cup of tea but another great review from a great reviewer
Really like your review style. Nice job!
I like watching reviews with you 😁
Best 4 cylinder road bike at that price by a country mile
I bought one
nice
good job suzuki
7:12 is that plastic pealing or plastic has such camouflage design? It does not look like dirt.
It's a camo design.
@@BikeWorldTVshow Thanks for clarifying. I hope it looks better irl.
For many, part of the experience with being a motorcyclist is having a bike you adore. A bike that compels complete strangers to shower you with praise in the supermarket car park and give your significant other cause for concern when you’re again, caught sitting in the garage alone, staring at your machine. Subjectively speaking, the bike reviewed here wouldn’t qualify for any of the above situations.
Great review as always 👍🏻
How are the vibrations ? I sold my 2018 CB 1000R because of this.
Your cb1000r has had vibrations?
@@sugarrfree yeah in the highway at 130kmh in 6th gear vibrations are an issue, making my hands and feets numb
@@lirag435 Really. Never heard of anyone else having this issue.
Didn’t get a chance to ride extended motorway mileage on it, but I’m normally the first to get tingly fingers and had no problems on the road ride. Did you try different grips or bar weights on the CB?
@@chrisnorthover7582 nop sold it, i'm happy with a 765 street rs, no vibration issue on a 3 cylinders. I tried the S1000R and i experienced the same vibrations issue, guess its a 4 cylinders problem.
When is Suzuki releasing the gsx s1000f? The fully faired vession of this, i can't wait to see it.😊
Another fabulous review Chris. I would have it wrapped in all black immediately to avoid seeing those disappointing design choices and colour schemes. Yikes 😬
No quiere una moto que tiene un montón cosas de electrónicos etc ...por eso amo la Suzuki,Es muy agresiva y confiable..te amo suzy❤️
Thanks for the good video.
Can you tell me what about the consumption of the bike during your test? Thanks
The front is bassed in GSXR1000R FROM Suzuki SERT Team.
In summary this is a great bike to buy at years end with a fat discount like all Suzukis. A good basic bike with a turn of speed
I know this is completely off topic but did you guys use the daredevil sound track?
Cool Bike
I like them headlights. Nicer than mt10 insect bumblebees 😁
If they could have styled it better, I would be interested but it looks so dull. It's almost a modern equivalent of a 1200 bandit but way more expensive.
You could have any of the more exotic bikes and this in your garage and you would ride this more, for the simple fact that it will always start and run.
How to compare between GSX-S1000 & Speed Triple 1200? Are they in same level?
Looks so good
Just a note to future viewers in 20 years time from this... yes, even at the time we thought naked bike headlights were ugly. We don't know why things were styled like this.
Where can I catch up got to season 3 on amazon and now can't find anything
I have the f1000 2018. Not sure I'll be upgrading to this new model. Probably gonna go with ktm super Duke s or r 🤔 or kawazaki zh2
What do you think about BMW F900R. I know you were the official rider for their promotion video. But what you actually think about the bike? Thanks
I'll get one for a full review at some point - the bikes I rode in the video were still not full production spec so it's always hard to tell what might be different to the finished product. I know I loved the midrange of the engine and it was a fun bike to ride. I would prefer it to be a little lighter though, especially when messing around doing skids and stunts.
@@chrisnorthover7582 Thanks for the reply will eagerly wait for the review. I test rode the bike and I loved it. Not into skids and stunt so felt it is pretty solid bike. But not sure in Europe and UK but here in Canada hardly people know about this bike. So just confused is it too rare bike to buy here or i should buy it because I love it and it is rare on the road and head turner but then how about the after sale support from the BMW?
i can listen to this guy talk about bikes all day, even if he talks about bikes i have no interest in
kawasaki needs to update the z1000 give it abit more power or reduce weight autolip shifter tft screen and keep it afordable
S1000 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
08:01 squeaky-bum time
Chris having a bit of fun...
What pads would you throw in?
I've been testing the EBC stuff a fair bit recently and I'd probably go for either a set of HH or the EPFAs for a bit more track/aggressive use. We stuck some in the KTM Super Adventure S to replace the stock Brembo pads and I was really impressed with the difference.
I like that Suzuki is doing it's own thing, making their bike as simple and accessible as possible. Some rider demand the latest and greatest gadget from their bike, arguing 'come on, it's year 20XX yada yada'. In our current world now, where everything is too expensive, too complicated, bike like these is like a breath of a fresh air.
When they add all the goodies (dash, cruise control, brakes) and costs +5k, riders complain again
The nice thing about Suzuki is they build a nice no frills, affordable bike. They aren't the fanciest, but they are decent, reliable, usually comfortable, and fun to ride. The headlights aren't my favorite, but I can live with them.
I bought my 2016 Gsx s1000 as a leftover model year brand new for $8500. Put about $1600 into the exhaust and power. Tell me what other bike can have so much for so little. Other competitors are twice the price.
The best part of suzuki is power and grip on road is better then yamaha in lower segment and cost is reasonable.
Cool , simple, bulky , power , grip
I got a 2018 Gsxs750 for 6400.00 out the door. Fantastic motorcycle!
Couldnt agree more 👍
Gem of a presenter Chris is! Bike world is churning amazing coverage lately. Good job. Just a treat to watch your videos! 😍
Suzuki is just so good at making solid, reliable bikes that work really well in the real world. It's a shame all the internet spec-sheet jockeys are so annoyingly loud...Most of them likely don't even ride.
@@WileECoyote-r4v is it the revzilla episode with ari and zack?
Renjith Pallikunnil it should be it
@@WileECoyote-r4v just go to any track day event anywhere. There's 15+ yr old gsxr's of all shapes n sizes beating on the newest ducs and aprillias
@@WileECoyote-r4v yeah. Like Suzuki's take on things. If it ain't broke dont fix it. I have a 2001 tl1000r 2001, gsxr750, 2017gsxr1000r, gen2 hayabusa and a gen3 hayabusa on order. N im not gonna lie. Between this and the new katana. I might be adding another to the collection lol. 🤔 They do enough to remain competitive without clogging the machine down with extra nonsense you'll never use. I also like the suspension they use. It's good enough for street and light track use. But not.crazy enougb that it'll jack the price up 5k. Most track guys go to their preferred suspension setup regardless what comes on the bike anyway. Ive seen loads of r1 and bmw guys tossing the electronic forks for conventional style.
@@WileECoyote-r4v
It would really be a shame if someone modified a bike like that.
They need to just leave all the presenting to Chris and let the other guys do something behind the scenes as he clearly outshines them.
He is the best hands down! Like a Top Gear presenter for motorcycles
Disagree.
He is the most talented rider, knowledgeable, affable, comes across as a nice bloke, but i dont think imo that he is as good a bike journalist as John Hogan.
@@michaelhayward7572 you are of course entitled to your own opinion. Even when it’s wrong…
@@wellwonky no. I am right. You are wrong.
But of course you are allowed an opinion.
I have the 2019 model. I got mine for 9500 out the door. He's bang on about it cost effective. Amazing bike for the price.
As a proud owner of a 2019 Gixxus 1000, spot on. Installed a wilbers 641 shock, M4 full exhaust, Woolich racing software with the autotune option, and loving life. Much like my beloved Bandit1200, based on the old air/oil cooled GSXR1100, this is the same philosophy 20 years later. Thank you Suzuki.
I got a 2016 Triton Blue naked GSXS. Still love it 5 years later. All the performance you need for street bike as well as comfort and reliability. Got mine brand new for $8500 otd. It ain't a fashion model, but its a fantastic motorcycle for the price. Once you take the throttle restrictions out of the ECU, it rips on top. From 8k to 11.5 it pulls stupid hard yet has ample torque everywhere. The stock front pads were Brembos and had rather soft initial bite. A set of SBS RS brake pads transformed the front brake. Strong and progressive. Bites as hard as you want but not grabby. I have EBC HH's on my other bike, and find the SBS pads to be stronger, smoother and quieter.
"It's so simple, if someone farted, that would start giggling." Strangely accurate, that is. The laugh in the background confirms it. (-.-)
I chuckled and had a little pop off myself when he said that.. hahahahahahahahah
Fantastic package the GSX-S Comfortable Fast Reliable Affordable .
Just bought the old model brand new 8.5 k. Remap ,decat pipe ,160 bhp. Bet it spends less time back at the dealership than my gen 3 superduke.
@HahrtDood. Hardly any issues really apart from exhaust flap valve fault . Bikes done 4k and is amazing . I had a gen 2 and put 6k on it without any issues
Suzuki make ultra reliable machines. What's that worth to someone.
Yeah, at 11k it's giving you what you'll be doing 90% of the time with the competition bike anyways
Chris, you're an amazing reviewer 👍
Glad to hear it described this way. Getting one as soon as they're available in the US. Im just looking for a somewhat fast road bike that ill be able to handle with my level of experience. Thanks for the review.
150 HP... "somewhat fast"... hmmmm
You can grab one a year or two older and have one now. Found a 2018 s1000f for 7500 awhile back. Quick tune and cat delete... bam. Done.
@@woodysrockspyro6436 Tempted to but I like the new styling and upgrades. Might would go for the F model if they made that available. The current one looks badass.
This is and 44teeth are the best bike review channels I've seen.
Lamb Chop Rides is one of my favs to
@@luuceichhorn4489 if hes does not burp or fart then his kinda alright.
Knox Armour is a great channel too. Real world, like Chris, no bs.
It's a sensible liter naked bike, to the extent that that exists. Great value fun (yet boring/non-exotic) bike.
Great sticker placement!
Suzuki is so underrated. I only wish they get the recognition they deserve.
They get recognised, correctly, as the 3rd tier Japanese manufacturer.
Chris Moore and Ricky Gadson just had a "Kawasaki vs. Suzuki" battle of the brands at a drag race. Suzuki proved to be too much for the ZX-10R and won best out of 5. Fully modified suspension, stretch, and tune on a BONE STOCK 1L Suzuki engine and he broke into the 7's in the quarter mile.
True, but they must update themselves... market demands it...
@@vfarias So says the marketing departments who specialize in making customers want things customers never knew they "needed".
What is "days out"??
I want cruise control!
Fantastic video and a really desirable bike for me. I love the power, looks and at an unbeatable price.
Best bike reviews out there. And this guy is one hell of a rider.
Love my gixxus it's great. Best daily rider I ever owned. I used SBS pads in mine and it was like a new bike I swear
0:17 -- _I think you mean Carlsberg (best in the world ads), not Heineken_ 🍺
👌🏻 *Great video!*
Doh! I'm blaming lockdown for a lack of beer research!
Aside form cost of entry, which is very reasonable, these should be very inexpensive to live with. After several European exotics spending more time/money in the shop than on the road, I'm all for slightly less manic and much more time riding.
We wanted a Suzuki GSX-S1000R
Or a GSX-S750F
Or just LED headlights n better throttle response NOT
🤢Suzuki MT10🤮
Was nicest lookin 1000 for the price
Or maybe get the 750 but i bet they hit it with the ugly stick to
N heavily MOD it
🇱🇷🐉👑10 year local 👑🐉🇱🇷
Lets play broooo
It's not a naked supersport. It's a standard. Comfortable ergos with sportbike handling and braking is the mission. Mission accomplished.
suzuki are the only manufacturer that understands what a motorcycle should be, obtainable, reliable, efficient, interesting and potentially lethal. Anyone can make a perfect bike for 30k, but do it for 10.
I like this bike. I like this man. Simples
Am I the only one who at first glance thought this was a KTM 1290R with a Katana headlight slapped on and a blue paint job? Actually saying that.. sounds kinda cool. Well played Suzuki..
yes, a wannabe Superduke
Its certainly not ordinary. The issue is the king is ducati streetfighter at 19k. £7000 more. You could but a gixxer 1000 for that, and it would kill it.
I love Chris's reviews.
In portugal this has the same price as the Street Triple RS...witch is best to hit the bends on a mountain road?
As always, fantastic review. You make us understand the bike. Also, I just cant stand when people say "You cant take it to the track" as if the only bike you can take is a panigale.
Chris does brilliant, informative reviews and boy can he ride!!
