geez the comment on " do not get these bikes when you are new to riding " makes me want to throw up. let people buy what they want , i've been riding since 1990 , started at 18 years old on a suzuki RG500 ,what a bike the 2 strokes.. then moved on to 1100 GSXR 89 90 92 ? 1000 tomcat etcc ... they dont make em anymore.. and here i am in 2021 still riding one of my gsxr 1100, btw still have my 500RG sweet old girl.. it's all about how you turn the throttle guys. ofc if you are gonna ride ON/OFF mode oh well it's up to you. now i can consider these days it can be more dangerous not because of us riders but ppl driving around in their cars with all the cellphone crap going on.. stay safe all. A gixxier rider from europe
Gotta agree with other comments. After getting used to 60fps, watching a ride in 30fps just doesn't live up. I stay pretty up to date with my tech and even I don't watch stuff in 4k. QuadHD (1440p) is the max I watch stuff in, but 1080p gets the job done. I love the new accompanying blog post style though! Super clean. Like the addition of the pics and the exhaust clip! Well done bro.
+Motonosity Yea, I agree with you. 4k is definitely not necessary. I'll go into it in a vlog, but the reason this is in 4k has little to do with the quality of the final video. More to do with my mixed camera setup and wanting consistency in frame rates (blah blah blah more camera crap) I do appreciate the comments on the blog stuff!
This bike is a seriously good piece of kit. It has the K5 engine not the K8 and is far more capable than any of its Japanese counterparts. Its basically a more comfy GSXR. I have both a GSXR and one of these. I dont know what your on about with the gearing mine is smooth up and down the box and they handle like a dream. I can chuck mine around the same as my GSXR it uses the same frame and swing arm as the new models. I dint know why your comparing it to a FZ09 its a completely different animal its a litre bike
+chaseon2wheels Good review, bud. I've been rippin around on my 2016 GSX-S1000F for a year now and loving it. Actually the biggest power hit is throttling up past 6,000 rpms. The front end lifts in both 1st and 2nd gear. The bottom end is torquey also but 6k rpm is HANG ON suckers! Also, you can adjust the traction control at any speed below 30mph. You don't have to make a complete stop. YES, be careful...the rear end has stepped out on me under heavy throttle many times. Once at over 50mph and in a slight lean while passing a car when I snapped the throttle and clutch at the same time. Very scary tank slapper at high speed. The seat does hold your butt well but after 45 minutes your A$$ will hurt (heard the same from others also). Stock exhaust note is awesome as you mentioned. This bike does corner super good, solid and nimble. Clutch and shifting is buttery smooth. I agree, rear brake is weak. And you can't turn off the ABS which sucks. I'm not a fan and it slows down my ability to stop under heavy breaking. Scary. Just my input after 25,000 miles of hammering canyons, tracks and freeways. MOTO PILOT out.
1000cc about 150 horsepower bike "I feel like this is going to be a fantastic bike around town" 🤣 you would normally think something like a 150cc automatic scooter would be fantastic around town. "The power band on this bike is much lower than 5000K" ? Haha I feel like chase did not know what he was talking about here, this bike had good torque everywhere except a short dead spot on some models around 5000K. This bike had an awesome top end, better than all the other naked bikes in this era like the Z1000, Speed Triple, Honda CB1000R and those bikes that was below the super naked class. This bike is still a hoot to ride even today and you can get it used for very cheap, like around 6000-7000$. For that kind of money it is like the fastest modern naked bike you can get for the money and it does not differ that much compared to the newest model that came out in 2022, especially not for the huge difference in money.
I know this is an old video but I used to have a GSX-S750 and the shifting sucked....until I figured out what the deal was. The engine is cold natured and just putting around like your showing the engine doesn’t really get warmed up if that makes any sense. After say an interstate run at higher rpm it seemed to shift a lot better. Plus it seemed to run kinda sucky when the engine was cooler lol.
cant believe this video is from back in the day-ish, i actually looked at these kind of bikes when i was looking for a second bike to upgrade to. Ended up getting a 2014 Yamaha Stryker and now am moving to "sport" kind of motorcycles for more fun and handling, this GSXS 1000F provides the upright seating position and "sporty" character. Just need to pony up the dollars and get through winter :D
Bought mine at the beginning of April. I'm coming for a Ninja 650 and on my third riding season. It's in for it's first service so I've never even revved it beyond 5700RPM, so I haven't even cracked the surface of it's power. This thing has a TON of power! I will respect it and grow into it. It's the best bang for your buck out there, and a fantastic bike to boot! Great review man!
I own the 2016 GSX-S1000F version. You lost me with the "good for around town bike" comment.... It's a liter bike!!! One of the best and underrated standard sport bikes on the market.
i think this bike is so awesome. I'm just waiting for spring to finally arrive here in snow covered Switzerland to go and buy it. thanks for the great review, it was a cool vid as usual.
I had a test ride on this with a Yoshi R11 attached, lots of fun with traction control off, I'm seriously thinking about buying one for my daily commute, love it.
had mine for a while now clocked up 3200 miles as of this morning love it so far put a tail tidy on and a nice seat cowl which sorts the look of the rear end out.
Gotta point out that the blog-post the accompanies this video (and I assume all future first rides) is awesome. The stock exhaust sound sample is very welcome addition as well as the cool pictures.
It seems your the only one that has had problems with shifting and the handling and the turn radius!!!! I haven't had an issue with any of that, maybe you had a lemon or something, I love my gsx-s1000! So far it's the best bike I've ever had:)
+NoRuLLe i took the GSXS1000 for a test ride, wasnt happy with it but thought i would live with it untill i test rode a s1000r... yeah i bought the s1000r, smooth throttle and nimble like my old 600cc
This bike should not be compared to the MT09 it is actually faster than the MT10 there are multiple videos on youtube about it. The MT09 is way slower. MT09 is 115HP this bike is 150HP
I demo rode one of these back in March, I preferred it to the GSX-R, especially around town which is where you’re gonna spend pretty much all your time, and at 110mph it was planted and stable, I loved it.
At 36 I've given up race replicas, naked bikes for me is where it's at. I've also become fond of the retro bikes. My favorite that I've owned and still do is my CB1100 for the naked/retro combo, but adding this bike to the stable looks like a possibility.
Ok Chase 1 thing LOVE THE VIDEO. The effort in the Editing was A*. The beginning Was very well edited when you were showing the Specs. THX for all the Awesome Vids and Thx For all of the effort in the Videos.
is it me, or you just have something against the gsxs models, you did the same move while doing the u turn on both bike, right in the middle of the street, mate i have the gsxs750 and it turns in places where a friend on ducati 696 can not 11:25 have a look
The D214’s hold the nimbleness down a tad but, they really hold a corner. I changed the stock tires and it really brought the handling to life. I noticed the gearbox smoothes out like butter right after the first service. I couldn’t be happier with the 2019 “FZ” model.
My first exposure to this bike was at AIM Expo last year, I didn't really care about it until I sat on the thing. For me, probably the most comfortable stock ergos I've ever experienced.
@@TheShubbah I've seen at least a proper review on twisties and the bike was praised precisely for it's nimbleness, agility and the brakes. It's unfortunate that most suzukis get shitted on because they are not cool, or trendy, or the latest bling nonsense. I couldn't care less though, I have my V Strom and I enjoy every second on it.
@@ioandragulescu6063 I'm ok with people not thinking Suzuki is cool lol.. my second bike was a SVS 650 and I loved it, a few bikes later I was considering the V Strom but ended up with the gsxs 1000.. no regrets.. what a bike, by far my favorite
Hey Chase sir! i bought a 2011 Kawasaky Versys 650 a week ago and i wait desperately to bring it home (it´s about 160Km/100miles away) but the weather sucks. I didn´t ride in 8 Years and your firstride videos are not helping at all, i want to ride again SOOOO bad. Walter, You and all the other Motovlogger brought me back to my passion i almost forgot, so please keep it up, love your vids!
I always watch ur first rides, thinking - does he just like the other one better or is he just a yamaha fanboy 😂 Much love, appreciation and respect from Germany! Wish Suzuki would make auch cinematic shots!!
+chaseontwowheels To add on to that I'd love to see some specs over-lay while your riding. While you're riding a little overlay comes up on the bottom right/left with hp/tq/weight/seat height etc.
+chaseontwowheels yeah i know how they are at the one in conyers lol thats the one i go to often. an i didnt know if u knew a motovolger friend with a trex lol there expensive lol
Funny you mention you didn't like the handling so much. All the other reviews say how great the handling is. Low center of gravity, centralized mass, easy to flip side to side, etc.
I will say I'm liking the centered camera instead of off on the side, even if it is a bit lower. Having it actually in line with where you are looking is the only way to go.
Actually every engine from 01-08 is supposedly the same shell. I believe the k5-k6 just used a longer stroke crank and that’s why it makes so much torque.
I wish you would redo this review with the 2018-2019 f model that has a small fairing That's the bike that I have and the thing is absolutely amazing it's my favorite bike I've had so far out of eight different motorcycles all the way from CBR1000 to triumph Thunderbird Storm and an FJ 09 mixed in there. if you want to set a meetup Kennesaw Marietta area I live in Conyers now but I'm from Marietta just PM me and I'll be more than happy to let you ride the bike for a rereview
Nice Review, and Just in time. Im looking to Upgrade to ether a FJ09 or the F version of this bike. Im leaning Twards the FJ tho, do to its super cheap insurance and its Front Tire Tread savings. Also The Hard Luggage, Apparently The GSXS Frame was not modified to accept Hard Cases.
Not sure if this was mentioned by others but can you lean forward and get the camera closer to the display when you're talking about switching modes and such (when you're stopped of course).....thanks
Is it possible that you went into the U-turn a little hot (and since speed increases turning radius), that is why you think turning radius is larger on this bike?
The Gixxus is a great all round naked bike. I don't know about the wind complaints maybe it's just cold where you live but here in Australia, I ride one 80Ks each way to work with 50 of that on a Highway at LEGAL speeds : ) and don't really find the wind too bad. The throttle is snatchy around town but I'm very happy with the Gixxus. As you said it's not a beginners bike but with the TC set at 2 it's a very forgiving motorcycle to ride. Great review and keep up the good work mate. I see where Leadpin gets his inspiration from!
I see a lot of comments about you not having 1080p 60fps. I'd like to point out that those of us with older computers can't watch 60fps videos and when you tubers upload It 60fps it forces us to watch their videos in 480p.
chase can u do a revews on some older bike's and compare them to the new one's ? Maybe something like suzuki gsxr 600 K3 , 2002 yamaha R6 , 2002 kawasaki zx6r.
I test rode this the other day. Loved it. Prefer the Z1000 but this is cheaper and more comfortable imho and I would definitely not put of the chance of owning one. How ever the cross plane R1 is calling my name and will be my first litre bike.
I have noticed with these naked bikes the manufactures seem to skimp on the rear brake I own an fz8 and the rear brake is on the floor you are literal pointing your foot straight down

serioisly, prioritise FPS over stupidly high def. around 0.1% of your viewers will be able to use the 2k/4k. everyone can benefit from 60fps
vouch
+JackSwatman Yup 60fps all the way. My internet and PC can more than handle 4k but it isnt at all worth it when given 60fps as an option.
+JackSwatman
a
greed
+Zomnoms I'm watching in 4k and it's awesome
+JackSwatman i don't care what the resolution the long as its 720p or more, i actually prefer 720p since it's quicker to load on mobile data

My GSXS shifting has been butter since day one. SMOOOOTH! The throttle cable does need the slack adjusted out on a lot of these bikes.
ive owned both the fz09 and s1000 and this bike is wayyyyy more power than an fz09

hey man, how is it going? I'm looking to buy one (the last of it's kind) but I'm worried about the 150ish HP my current bike is a 600 has around 100
im glad you got a review out on this one!! its been on my radar for awhile. Also, congrats on the engagement!! im very happy for you chase.

finally a first ride video! I know you been busy I just always look forward to this videos

Same here. I have no problems at all with mine. But mine is a 2018 so maybe its something thats fixed.
@@underflip2 easiest bike to shift, especially clutch less shifting by blipping throttle
Nice review man...was eagerly waiting for more first rides from you...
Would prefer 60fps over 4K
+addario same here, 1080 60fps, but who cares, human eye cant see past 720p and 24 fps ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Farol600 it was a joke....
+addario agree
+addario 60fps 4k
+FarolTouge the human eye can only see 3.2k or something like that so there's no point in anything more than 4k

+Micah (Organ Donor) i agree, i have one S1000R and the bike is amazing... i test drive this one and the S1000R is more agressive...

Great review. Thanks Chase & Mountain Motorsports!
good one ... watched n liked it too ... was waiting for this for a long time
LOVE your reviews. Makes me laugh. :-) You just get the perfect amount of serious info and kidding around for my kind of humour
Thanks for saying that man. I appreciate it.
It`s the worlds best bike.
Seriously in love with the color of this bike....

Much love, appreciation and respect from Germany! Wish Suzuki would make auch cinematic shots!!
nice review mate. would you be doing a review of the kawasaki z800 anytime ?

Any CB1000R reviews in the future ?
Love your videos buddy

That scream when the leaf hit you in the face cx made my whole day cx
Very nice cinematic Chase! ;)
Even though I absolutely love the beauty shots of the bike in 4K, I think i would still prefer 1080p 60fps.
You could end these first ride videos with a nice outro featuring some graphics with your pros & cons of the bike with some music....
+Jon Gee That's a great idea Jon. I'll look into that.
+chaseontwowheels To add on to that I'd love to see some specs over-lay while your riding. While you're riding a little overlay comes up on the bottom right/left with hp/tq/weight/seat height etc.

glad first rides are back:) wouldnt mind seeing a slingshot or a trex first ride if u could find one

would love to see you ride a triumph street triple or street triple r one day
You said it would be a good bike for "around town", what about on the highway?
good video and i could tell were you were when I first started the video.. i seen you went threw Douglasville
Love your reviews by the way :)
Awesome 4K :D
Awesome man, love first rides
I'm pretty sure this video helped me make my decision to buy this bike.
Missed your first rides bro! been a while.
its K5 0:44 not K8...nice video btw
I second this^^
^^
05- 08 ENGINE DICKHEAD DERP!
Actually every engine from 01-08 is supposedly the same shell. I believe the k5-k6 just used a longer stroke crank and that’s why it makes so much torque.
Seems like a great bike but the styling is just a bit off to me. A bit too round and cuddly. It looks like it melted in the sun on the tanks shrounds.
+Jake TheGardenSnake Maybe it's cause you think I'm too round and cuddly?
I have 2018 F, and you should try newer one. They fixed the throttle problem. I love my bike.
It's the K5 motor and it was loved for its long stroke it made great torque in the low and mid range. Try riding any GSXR1000 from 05-08.
everyone complains about pulling in the clutch on gsxrs. is it that big of a deal?
keenanalford32 Sometimes it's a little annoying on my bike, but mostly because It's carbed and it needs the choke on cold starts.
I wish you would redo this review with the 2018-2019 f model that has a small fairing That's the bike that I have and the thing is absolutely amazing it's my favorite bike I've had so far out of eight different motorcycles all the way from CBR1000 to triumph Thunderbird Storm and an FJ 09 mixed in there. if you want to set a meetup Kennesaw Marietta area I live in Conyers now but I'm from Marietta just PM me and I'll be more than happy to let you ride the bike for a rereview

Yeah Man some editing Improvments. Nice Bike Amazing vid
Not sure if this was mentioned by others but can you lean forward and get the camera closer to the display when you're talking about switching modes and such (when you're stopped of course).....thanks
Do a review on the KTM RC390 pls!!!
You can change traction control when you throttle off whilst on the move
favorite super naked? does the price difference/performance match?
Is it possible that you went into the U-turn a little hot (and since speed increases turning radius), that is why you think turning radius is larger on this bike?
The Gixxus is a great all round naked bike. I don't know about the wind complaints maybe it's just cold where you live but here in Australia, I ride one 80Ks each way to work with 50 of that on a Highway at LEGAL speeds : ) and don't really find the wind too bad. The throttle is snatchy around town but I'm very happy with the Gixxus. As you said it's not a beginners bike but with the TC set at 2 it's a very forgiving motorcycle to ride. Great review and keep up the good work mate. I see where Leadpin gets his inspiration from!
I see a lot of comments about you not having 1080p 60fps. I'd like to point out that those of us with older computers can't watch 60fps videos and when you tubers upload It 60fps it forces us to watch their videos in 480p.
Yo Chase when ur gonna try the 2016 ZX10R? Love the vids men!
chase can you get your hands on one of the aprilia shiver naked bikes? it looks like a really fun bike to ride
Out if the fz-09, fz-07 ,GSX-S 1000, and z1000 which has the best torque but is still good for hooligan?
Stick with 1080p60 Chase. Very few people have a 4k TV/monitor.
chase can u do a revews on some older bike's and compare them to the new one's ? Maybe something like suzuki gsxr 600 K3 , 2002 yamaha R6 , 2002 kawasaki zx6r.
I test rode this the other day. Loved it. Prefer the Z1000 but this is cheaper and more comfortable imho and I would definitely not put of the chance of owning one. How ever the cross plane R1 is calling my name and will be my first litre bike.
In your own opinion witch do you prefer the Fz-09, Gsxs1000, or the cb1000r?
Thanks Mountain Motorsport!
Love the videos would also love to see you test a real super naked Aprila Tuono V41000 or 1100. This bike will knock your socks off!!!
I have noticed with these naked bikes the manufactures seem to skimp on the rear brake I own an fz8 and the rear brake is on the floor you are literal pointing your foot straight down
So since new bikes have check engine lights do they have to go through obd scanning to pass inspectio?
One of my favourites... the next project will be an older one of these and transplanting into a rigid bobber frame...
I'm going to buy either this exact motorcycle or a 2016 FZ09. How does the power of the FZ09 compare to this? Is it close? Thank you.
