Oh my goodness that howl! I thought I’d left litre sports bikes in the past when l bought my Harley but that so reminded me of opening the taps and being thrown forwards into space.
i LOVE these bikes i would have a gsxr but due to many get offs over 36 years of being a biker i could not get on them and yes i have tried, another good video mate keep them coming
All the things you apologized for are what made this video great(well, those and your wonderful accent'). I have about 0 interest in sport-bikes but your energy was so infectious I watched the entire review. I love fast riding also ;)
Great vid Bruce! I totally agree with you. Specs and numbers are great to look at on the loo but what matters to me is how the bike makes me feel on the road. Always look forward to your next vid. Keep the shiny side up brother. Peace!
My last bike was a 2002 GSXR1000K2. I sold it 12 years ago. I had lots of bikes over the years and this was my favourite. More than enough power and handling for my abilities. I miss it, but I don't think I would be here today if I kept it. I was taking too many chances. That was the end of my 25 years of riding. The roads are just too dangerous for bikes. I had my fair share of accidents, one almost fatal. I just get my hit watching TH-cam videos these days!
Yes teapot what a great vid. I traded my s1000rr for a tuono. Big mistake Couldn’t get on with it at all. Now got an2014 gixxer.1000. Not as good as beemer in terms of pub talk but better bike. More grunt ,better downshifts, bigger. Cheaper Just all round betterI LOVE IT. Keep em comin bru
Legend haha local to me aswell! so I know those roads well. Much fun to be had. Although lots of police recently near loomies 7 officers in fact. Pulling over for every reason possible. You seem one of the decent ones 🤘🤘
I love my 2019 GSXR 1000R and Lamb Chops is right take it to 14,000 in each gear then you know you are motoring - I wouldn't swap it for anything absolutely love it a real quality bike and like you Bruce I tour on mine (not as far as you have been) managed 3000 miles mid lockdown.
Lack of self control with speed is exacly why I sold my beloved GSXR! It's so hard to keep to the speed limit with one of this! Well one court case later (I managed to safe my licence) I knew I had to say goodbye. Now I'm a happy Moto Guzzi Audace 1400 owner and I love it! There's enough tourqe and acceleration in the Big Twin to keep my chuckling like a little boy but the fun stops at 130 and in all fairness it's the pull from 20-80 that is where the fun is for me now. Would I liked to keep my GSXR ovuisly would I had lost my licence on it definitely.. Grate vidoe keep up the good work Mr T
I ride a 1000 every day and feel the same way every time I get on it. LOL 2014 Ninja 1000 and just got a 2019 ZX10R. Amazing what manufacturers have done with the new bikes. I like the slower response of the ZX10R at lower RPM for cornering.
And just like a GS, it'll never be used off road! 🙊😁. The fun aspect really shone through on that vlog. 👍👍👍 I now always wait for a GS rider to nod first because I got fet up of no response. I'm still waiting! 😂
Castle Combe track day a few weeks back. Maybe pinned the throttle 6 times at most. 132 mph through follies and straight. RHS of my brand new Rosso 3's are stuffed. Killer bike.
I was chuckling to myself seeing how your riding style has changed, especially hunting out the GLFs......double mirror checks and downshift as you cross the line. I expect the boys at the school will be watching it and giving you feedback in July 🤣🤣🤣🏍🏍🏍🚓
Teapotone - " I think this is the road I came down with the IAM" proceeds to Pin throttle - brilliant ! Obviously an 'IAM bibs off' day or your IAM membership has been revoked / temporarily suspended . Great vid but the worry is these bikes just make you want to go faster and faster and faster......and as you say willpower is finite !
@@teapotone from memory you are 6'2" and porky is that correct? so the 1k is roomier than the 750? Obviously it would be wider but more legroom? I am 6'2"also
Aye I’m 6’3” and 20 stone The GSX-R1000 is a bit bigger physically than the 600/750 - was never an issue for me personally but I support it’s what you’re used to isn’t it
Nice review Bruce would like to have a go on one if my hips would let me. But will stick with the v strom for comfort. ATB for the rest of your course. "Ride It with your hips baby" 😁😁🏍️🏍️
I’ve ridden my GSX-R1000 around the mountains of Spain and can tell you the GS is faster in the tight twisties. We overtake plenty of Sportsbikes every year to prove that.😉
I was about to say the same and see Lamb Chops already commented. I have this bike, keep it pinned past 10k it's a whole new level of power compared to what you're feeling there
Had four gixxer 1000s now on superduke gt via s1000xr, still have the urge to ride a full on sports bike but really only place for it is a track day but its an itch I need to scratch 😀
I don't understand how you can ride at the speeds you do with the dual sport helmet, it pulls my head back and strains my neck to go over 60mph with one!
From what I remember, you do with GSX-R’s - but anyway, it’s always best to hold the clutch in when you start a bike - better for the engine, plus eliminates any chance of it shooting forward if in gear
I have the same problem with sports bikes, it's ball's to the wall all the time! Was regularly hitting over 130mph in a 30 zone coming into Fort William. It was time to give that up!
But we have a country where we really can enjoy these things....Scotland!(I watch these videos from 'Down South' and realise why I've never wanted to live there, terrible roads).
See people say sport bikes are bad because they encourage fast riding, but naked bikes are just as bad for hooligan antics. Shit loads of torque makes them wheelie machines, and they’re comfortable! I’m definitely a sport guy myself Seems you have to control the urge to do anything naughty on just about any machine 😂
Absolutely true Sam, almost any bike over the last 10 years is more than capable of stupid speeds with general ease. We just have to exercise self-control - easier said than done though eh 😉🤣👍
Just getting a little tingle from watching - goodness knows how I'd feel on it.. well that's not entirely true - I had a '15 S1000RR. I had to sell. Whereas I can rag other bikes, look down at the speedo and think, oh that's quick; on the S1000RR I was thinking, I'm going to prison... I absolutely love the performance, handling and looks, but the 1000cc sportsbike class is now closed for me.
Looked like you enjoyed that! I was thinking does this make Bruce a 'Born again Biker? Then you had to spoil it at the end... :- ( Get Suzuki to lend you one for your Pico's trip in September....they seem to be doing long term loans to...well, just about everybody... just sayin like......'Back in before the 'solids'..??? Doesn't usually seem to bother you in the Pico's :-) Hope you are having a great trip.... I'm off out there next Sunday....Santander ferry permitting.
Would be great to have that much acceleration without the massive top speed that can't be used on a legal daily basis. At normal speeds that would keep your licence safe I guess the engine would be so under used that it could do more harm than good?
Why is it big man when I go out on the tuono people hang off their bikes to wave.we went out sat on the gsa all day got 4 nods.misserable bast..ds.so I just turned around and overtook the lot yeeehaaa.
HAHA brilliant Bruce and you were changing before the real power comes in!!! The thing is a weapon love mine, and the tank only costs £800 quid new!
Literally just seen the vid! 🤢 even my stomach turned when the dent was shown
Drop in the ocean to a TH-cam celeb Mr Chops! I imagine your richer than BVG 😉
🤣
Only costs £800. 🤣
Its reviews like this that made me buy this model, fun factor and value for money.
Bought the 2019 model this week, looking forward to your review here and more so riding it next Friday will keep you posted mate
Oh my goodness that howl! I thought I’d left litre sports bikes in the past when l bought my Harley but that so reminded me of opening the taps and being thrown forwards into space.

That’s the exact color I have. But mine is a 2017. It’s a fantastic bike. Best one I’ve ever had. Love the GSXR platform.
Great vid Bruce! I totally agree with you. Specs and numbers are great to look at on the loo but what matters to me is how the bike makes me feel on the road. Always look forward to your next vid. Keep the shiny side up brother.

Great review... totally agree with your sentiments having owned three new givers over the years, now ride a triumph rocket 3 roadster and loving it
I am still in love with my 2004 GSXR 750.
Nice mines 2002

Your excitement earned a subscribe!
Great stuff, thank you and welcome to the channel 👍
Love it, so happy to see you are following your IAM training to the letter!!
Some say 'the system' works at any speed...................
The system is the safest way to ride for sure, but not always the quickest
@@teapotone Now that is a debate....probably ending with a divided opinion and finishing with the words 'it depends'!
I ride a 1000 every day and feel the same way every time I get on it. LOL 2014 Ninja 1000 and just got a 2019 ZX10R. Amazing what manufacturers have done with the new bikes. I like the slower response of the ZX10R at lower RPM for cornering.
Brilliant again mate,my old back wouldn’t last 10 miles on a gsx I’ll stick with my tractor to 👍
Loved the walk around edit and tune
Great, accurate and personal ride. Lots of useful fun!
And just like a GS, it'll never be used off road! 🙊😁. The fun aspect really shone through on that vlog. 👍👍👍
I now always wait for a GS rider to nod first because I got fet up of no response. I'm still waiting! 😂
Fuck the GS riders most of them are not bikers!
Everybody should have one at the back of the garage for nice sunny days. 🌞🌞🌞
+Steve Inskip 👍
GOD Bless the internal combustion engine. “Go to jail speed”......that cracked me up. Cheers from America. 👍🏼 👏👏👏
Thanks for the brief overview of the South East. Haphazard is good! Sounds good too.

great review, so much fun you kept getting lost
can i ask what mount you were using for the hero session on the mirror please
keep it up buddy
It’s one of GoPro’s own mounts, but the likes of Ultimate AddOns do the same thing too
I like those riding gloves, witch one's are they?
They’re the Knox Handroid’s
I sold my Honda CBR900RRx for the same reason.
I was becoming a bit of a hooligan and I need my licence to get to work.
buy a sportster then!
Good review Bruce. I love the GSXR 750 all 3 that I have owned over the years.
Aye the 750 is a cracking bike isn’t it, just a smidgen too small for me though physically 👍
@@teapotone from memory you are 6'2" and porky is that correct? so the 1k is roomier than the 750? Obviously it would be wider but more legroom? I am 6'2"also

I’m the same as you Bruce, the figures are nice to know but it’s how it make you feel that’s most important!
Absolutely Dave 👍
Nice review Bruce would like to have a go on one if my hips would let me. But will stick with the v strom for comfort. ATB for the rest of your course. "Ride It with your hips baby" 😁😁🏍️🏍️
Thanks bud 👍
I looked and thought LCR is riding the 19 Gixxer here we go. Wait that's TP1
WTF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Good review 👍
I was born on a Gixxer originally, this is me just going back to my roots 🤣👍
@@teapotone lmao it's better than a bloody GS 🤣
Made me smile. Nice one teapot
+Nick Shutler cheers 👍
Thank you for posting. Amazing how a person's ridding "philosophy" is so much based on the bike they are ridding. :)
Top video bruce ,keep up the good work 👍ace bikes for the track ,not so comfy on the road 😉
so the whole RTW tripp was actualy just you going down to the local Tesco and taking a wrong turn somwhere :-P
Nice review. But when is the new GSXR 1000 coming out?!
Thanks Samby, no idea bud, I think Suzuki are in a bad way again at the mo 😬🤷♂️
Looks like an awesome bike, but you need to get that pixellated dash display fixed... Must be terribly worrying not being able to see your speed... :)
+Martin Chandler it was, it was! I kept having to twist the throttle a bit more to make sure the engine was still on!!! 😉👍
@@teapotone Wise.....don't want the bike falling over. Safety third.
Bet that would be an absolute weapon round the picos pal.. Gotta be in blue though 👍🏍
I’ve ridden my GSX-R1000 around the mountains of Spain and can tell you the GS is faster in the tight twisties. We overtake plenty of Sportsbikes every year to prove that.😉
You kept saying you were in the wrong place. But how can you be in the wrong place when your riding that beauty?
Very good point 👍👏
I was about to say the same and see Lamb Chops already commented. I have this bike, keep it pinned past 10k it's a whole new level of power compared to what you're feeling there
Yep I know, there are certain things I just don’t show in these vids.
This bike at full chat is one of them. 😉😬🤗
Had four gixxer 1000s now on superduke gt via s1000xr, still have the urge to ride a full on sports bike but really only place for it is a track day but its an itch I need to scratch 😀
Super Duke will keep up with everything unless ridden by a pro
I love how your constantly talking yourself out of having one lol.
Amazing Video. Thx Sir!
Great video mate! New sub
Cheers Tom, welcome to the channel bud 👍
Nice review! Love this bike!
BTW What camera on your mirror?
That's a GoPro Hero Session.
Yep it’s the Session 5, but I don’t think GoPro do them anymore?
@@teapotone indeed they don't. I'm clinging on to one of them too.
Brings all memories back, Bruce? BTW, haw is Beast doing? Give him any attention?
lordy you passed that lorry with hardly a twist of the throttle,
Funny review and great bike. Subbed.
Thanks very much bud, welcome to the channel 👍
Hey Bruce....looks like this bike has the same problem as your GS time to time....speedo goes fuzzy....warranty issue me thinks 🇮🇪😂
👍 Great review
Normally love your videos but this one was too scary 😱 Ride safe Bruce 🙏
Man goes giddy over old fashioned hooligan style GSXR... what's not like real life!
how does it feel with that adventure helmet on .....hahaha great vid mate
Bruce enjoy your time abroad but be careful they send a arrest warrant for you putting videos out like that 😅😂🤣😭😂 Well done😜😜
Haha,,,How did you get round the world!!? Ride safe fella.
I just kept heading East! 😉👍
I don't understand how you can ride at the speeds you do with the dual sport helmet, it pulls my head back and strains my neck to go over 60mph with one!
Really? I’ve never had any issue to be honest 🤷♂️👍
Bruce...it was the same road 👍👍
Thought so, cheers bud 👍
U dont need to hold down the clutch to start it i think 🤔
From what I remember, you do with GSX-R’s - but anyway, it’s always best to hold the clutch in when you start a bike - better for the engine, plus eliminates any chance of it shooting forward if in gear

Hi Bruce.
Could you let me know the name of the GoPro session mirror mount please.
Love it!!
Great vid. But what the hell are you wearing?😂😂
Jumpers are standard safety wear in the UK. 🤣
The throttle twisting thing is optional you know, not obligatory 😂
lovely bike
Would be great to have that much acceleration without the massive top speed that can't be used on a legal daily basis. At normal speeds that would keep your licence safe I guess the engine would be so under used that it could do more harm than good?
Buy a GS if you want that 😉
Wish you didn't blur our the speed so we could all see how quick the bike accelerates.
Job losingly fast acceleration!
That 1st girlfriend comparison 😅
Can see your riding becoming more IAM and "system". 😀. Still a small dash of hooligan, we all have that right? 😂
Just a smidgen of hooligan 😉
not too sure about your comment when you pulled away from the bike shop...…….."let`s HIT the road"...….……….
You never know.... 😉
Sounds like more of a Motorbike Sex Tape j/k😁Be careful, that’s a “proper “ weapon there! Great video Bruce.👍
What brand helmet you wearing? Looks like a shoei hornet. Like the look of your helmet along with the peak it has 👍
Yep it’s a Shoei Hornet ADV
Spicy 110’s local 😂👍🏻
you need to hit that power band then you poop yourself haha.
The way you talk reminds me of the hobbits haha
Teapot what on Earth is that Jacket your wearing? I want one! Cheers..
It’s the Icon Raiden, available from PistonOids - tell them I sent you😉👍
You're not using the auto blip.... its pissing me off! lol
whats auto blip?
sorry I ride a tractor.
It’s the auto downshift. I was using it, just not all the time
1330in r u saying u turned into an excited kids with a new toy hehehehehe just jealous hehehehe 👍👍👍👍
1:54 what on earth is happening with that car's boot?
Love the laughing 😂😂
I couldn’t help it, made me feel like a giggling school girl!! 🤣😂
🤣👍 thats why we all ride bikes, love Bruce's giggling. Kiech is Scottish for shit by the way

Top!!✊
I nod away on my gs. You know it’s got to be done 😜
Good morning.
And We blur speedometer over 75 mph.. lol. otherwise "Cool" Video m8!
Kph
Told you..............
🤣👍
I like to tickle my Gixxer.
Not often enough though.
Why is it big man when I go out on the tuono people hang off their bikes to wave.we went out sat on the gsa all day got 4 nods.misserable bast..ds.so I just turned around and overtook the lot yeeehaaa.
Ha Ha, yep bike snobbery is alive and well 👍
Why don't you try and get work 🏍️ to use them and then bring it home with you 👍👍👍👍👍🤔🤔🤔🤔winner winner chicken dinner 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Its a 2017 spec bike
Feel sorry for the chap that buys this model as he didn’t follow the guidelines for breaking in a new motor with rpm’s
As I said in the vid, it’s not a brand new bike and is a trade in so has already been run in.
