I wasnt keen on the looks when it was first released, but it had grown on me alot. Im a fan of the smaller headlight now. Sounds pretty good, even for euro 4 with that massive cat/end pipe. Bet it would sound great with the Yoshi on there. The non TFT dash is a change from the 'norm' nowadays and looks great IMO
+StreetTripleSam I'm with you, didn't like it at first but love the front end and the huge intakes looks mean! 😎😎
Owned several bikes and ridden lots including R1, Fireblabe, zx10,.Daytona, many Ducatis, KTM.
At 58 I bought me a GSXR a month ago. Most comfortable out of all of them. Easily best for
commuting . Lots of character. Not quite as much as my Aprilia RSV1000 but pretty close.
Bye bye go pro at 13:38 lol
If your getting wheel slip you can’t wheelie anyway lol. Some people do not understand. People just don’t understand modern TC and how to use it. You don’t need separate wheelie control for a reason. Also brakes that are clearly not fading don’t need upgraded lines. They need to be adjusted as any new bike. The new gixxer is brilliant.
Try riding it hard to the point of brake fade, then come back and say how wonderful the brakes are. If you don’t get fade, you’re not riding it hard enough!!
Chops that's vid was hilarious with the wheelie and GoPro flying off....well done, keep it goin. I had an AP50 the same colour back in 1977!
The TC level does several things as you've noticed e.g. Anti wheelie. As you increase the level of intervention, it not only intervenes with less and less wheelspin, but it also has a preset maximum level of acceleration at each level of TC. Therefore it can kick in without any actual wheelspin because rate of acceleration has been reached for that level of TC..
+Jme Be yes I've read the manual now and will explain in detail in the next vid 👍
such a good looking bike they nailed it with this one,
Good review!!! I really like the sound of the new gixer
Great review! Zooki really has a winner in their hands with this bike. I know a guy who had a ‘16, and already traded up.
Looks fast standing still !! Love it ❤️
I've got 12k miles on my 18 now... 4sets of tires.... A new radiator And oil cooler- (hit a deer!) New right side plastics. Added some heated grips a favorite! But it's been flawless
Easy easy throttle squeezey
Good review! I picked up z900 performance in green..
dream bike gsx1000r in moto gp blue!
Awesome bike, and love the sound of it! love the look of it too. The go pro must be bullet proof lol, looking forward to the next couple of weeks with your videos on this bike !
I've watched a lot of reviews on this bike, and yours is pretty damn hilarious. That was a real reaction to 2nd gear wheelie, b/c i've done the exact same. Can't wait to get mine ;)
Awesome review! You closed the throttle on that wheelie and brought the front down.
Hey i'm a Motovlogger myself from Sweden. And dud ur channel is the best for now ^^ my new favorite channel. Keep up the good work!
Great Vlog , look forward to the follow up.
This is a fantastic video! I can't believe you don't have so many more subscribers than you do, you deserve way more with thus quality of videos man. I'll keep watching and liking!
Thanks Grant! :-)
Hey chops glad to see all your other new reviews on the bikes so as you know I recently purchased a 2017 rsv4 RF it's an incredible machine to own in your opinion how does that stack up to the other bikes the class of 2017 thanks for your input be safe and ride fast !!
GSXR’s didn’t get indicators on their mirrors until 2005 when the K5 came out. The first 4 models had fairing mounted indicators.
they made the suzuki sexy again.
Look at that headlight. no longer the batman logo
ahh man, nooooo...... so glad you found that camera again!
All your bike videos are awesome 👍
13:38 - Say bye bye to the Go Pro Cam (left handle bar). Don't think he even noticed it right away :-)
That's gotta be 1 of your funniest videos...
The Wheelie, The moan about the TC and the Breaks.. And Hanging off the gsxr on the roundabout.. Love your work 💪
Great video and I got the same bike. Mine is MY2021 in their 100th anniversary colour scheme.
Lambs, how did you mount that camer to you mirror? Is that a standard accessory or it had to be modded somehow? I am not really into sticking the GoPro mounting plate onto the fairing on a bike that has less than 300 km on the ODO :P
Cheers!
Nice review, was just wondering if them gloves are any good bro?Wanna get some and I'd probably use them all year round.
The only bike that comes with its own chimney
Brilliant, the exhaust doubles as hard locking luggage.
cbr offcurse!
Nice first impressions LC. I was lucky enough to take one for a test ride and agree with pretty much everything you have said. Can you do some launches with the launch control on your next video? That was one feature I didn't have the balls to try (or even know how to activate).
+matey182 thanks matey, yeah I have vid of launch control.... didn't go that we'll! Will be uploaded prob next week 👍
Awsome review mate.
can't wait for more videos on the GSX-R1000R, trying to decide whether to get this or 2017 BMW S1000RR...
ipodkill31 get the zuki
ipodkill31 GSXR. Don't waste your money on a BMW. Have fun paying a premium for parts and burning up clutches.
have they improved the finish on this bike? entertaining video, keep up the good work.
Lucky man, you found it
I needed a change of pants just watching that lol. You're a lucky boy! Well done :D
Awesome bike, fantastic wheelie, you’re lucky you didn’t get clipped looking for that GoPro Chopsy!
My old Gsxr1000 L0 had shite front brakes. Changed pads to Brembo. Improved slightly. Then changed to Brembo RCS master cylinder. Fully Sorted. :) Good find on your Go pro Chops.
+BatFastard01 yes I think a mc upgrade could be the best option to fix it properly 👍
lol that go pro was hilarious, and it still works !!
How do you rate this bike v the Ducati Supersport S you loved, I know they're different bikes but any comparisons with speed on those public roads, handling etc ?
16k is stock Fireblade teritory, I'd have this over the blade any day 😁
+metalhead vlogs yeah I agree, it's certainly more exciting that's for sure!
Lamb Chop Rides Anyway, just finished the video, my exact same thoughts on the brake, I have no idea why they are like that, but it seems to be a Suzuki thing... I had one of these out on the Suzuki test ride day, I loved it, then again I loved the stocker too. If they offered the QS on the stocker I would have had that in a heartbeat.
Great video once again bud...
+metalhead vlogs it's a real shame, the gsxs 750 had perfect brake feel so they can do it! But I guess couple of hundred quid on a new brake mc and it's perfect but shouldn't have to do that with a new bike
Lamb Chop Rides Exactly, certainly a shame and the one downside on a near perfect bike. I guess every bike can't be perfect otherwise we won't have anything to complain about 🤣
If you got 2 options, first option is hyabusa and second option is gsx rr 1000, what would you choose? And why ?
I love your videos, please continue
Fantastic video and commentary mate, thanks!!
Oh that unexpected wheelie oh boy you made me laugh hard ! 😂
13.38 -14.00mins catches me out and makes me laugh each time watch this.. great stuff
+Glen whyte haha gotcha 😎😎
Great Video, way better than all these bike mag journo's who think they are Rossi. 2nd gear roll on wheelie came up a bit quick, must have reached peak torque or power. I think I shall subscribe to your channel. Well done
Yup -💙🔥 Scary Fast 🔥💙
Lovely bike 🤗🤗🤗
Great vid bud and glad you got your gopro back!!
Nice to hear she’s got the typical Gixxer scream under power, but unbelievable that Suzuki still haven’t sorted out the crappy brakes - GSX-R’s have ALWAYS had pants brakes, why can’t they sort that out?!
Yes it is a bit disappointing as everything else on the bike is tip top, I think braided lines or worst case a new MC would fix it. I know others have changed pads and its improved it but not 100% fixed it.
Lamb Chop Rides Yeah I’ve always but braided lines and Sintered SBS pads on my Gixxers, sorts the braking right out 👍
Loved the wheelie too, bet you took a moment after that!! 😂👍
Another great vid. I almost bought one of these although I would have got the Black/Blue. Nothing better than a Suzuki gearbox! :-)
how is the power and torque delivery compared to 2018 aprilia tuono 11000 factory ?
If your TC is off or on level 1 or 2, you'll get the front off the ground. In a few days, you'll learn to position your body and change the balance of the bike. Then it becomes incredibly flickable. Don't forget to try out the launch control with TC off and your QS on mode 2. Launch control has a timer so you can't use it light to light. Also, changing your brake pads to Brembo street/track pads, fixes the free play in the brakes. And better hi-temp brake fluid also helps with brake fade on track or during heavy use. Of course.
+64t120r I had it in level 1 where it bit me, trouble is was just pinning expecting anti wheelie to keep it under control as it does in higher levels of tc. It just didn't do anything and if I hadn't shut it off would have flipped I'm sure...I guess you cannot completely tame a GSXR 😈😈
Great vid mate, I love the gsxr thou & seriously considered one before buying my second hand panigale. Bloody funny and lucky to find that GoPro! lol
+Sixth Gear Motorcycles thanks matey! I had to rewatch footage on silver to see where it came off. Was getting dark so pressure was on haha
Ha I bet you double shat your pants what with the wheelie and losing the camera! lol
Great video mate my dad has the same bike as you, iv been on the back of it it’s such an amazing bike 🏍 ride safe 👍 btw iv subscribed .
Time for a new Hero 6... sweet video chops
Finally looks like Honda are releasing a new CB1000R for 2018! Have been waiting years to see what it will be like. If it's no good my choice will be between an MT09 and GSXS1000 (minus 1 tooth on the front sprocket).
2 more months till I trade in my 650 for one. Counting every day
How is it mate
The black and blue version is my absolute favorite. but i hate the blue and yellow
It's got it's own camper attached !
Holy sh#t batman! What a video. I think that bikes got it in for you! Handled like a pro tho. Good work chops! 😅
Craig Millard handled like a Go-Pro 😉
ChuckNinja Kawasaki. Boom boom, like it! 😂
Also what is that mount on your mirror for your second camera?
I reviewed the footage for you chops as soon as it got to 12 oclock your wrist was like no no thats enough of that thank you and you shut it off completely so maybe there was no intervention from mr traction control which is a bit of worry I suppose if you like wheeiles (well who doesn't)
+bchant19 yeah same here, tc light comes on when wheelie control does its stuff. Would have flipped if I hadn't closed it off. Trouble is was expecting it to react so left it pinned rather than modulate throttle when it started to lift!
Does that exhaust double as a pannier??
Gsxr1000r vs zx10r
Which one is more fun to ride fast?
I am just doing my full bike test and they put about what to do if you lock the brakes up and skid when braking but nothing about should you do a wheelie at 76mph.
Haha 😅
Ledgend ❤
The blue i thought was a bit gay at first is growing on me now. What would be cool is richard coopers retro paintjob he had for BSB in last round or two! A comparison between this and the 750 would be interesting. Good 1st ride chopsy i had a twitch too when that front came up lol😄
How on earth do you get your glasses on so easily? I switched to contacts because it was a nightmare trying to ram the glasses down the sides they usually ended up wonky and digging in
Depends on your helmet, some have channels for glasses, cheaper ones usually don't
its cbr's turn to have cool blinkers :P
best chops episode ever , fresh pants please lol
I fell in love with this bike as soon as I saw it. A few months ago I bought myself the R version. I love it to bits (especially the engine character), but it almost seems like it is missing the 'x factor' that my Daytona 675r had. I don't know if it is the ergos, lack of ohlins, the weight of it, or what. Does anyone who has also ridden it have some insight?
All previous suzuki's are restricted in the first 3 gears, see if there is a smart tre £30 on ebay or a healtech X-Tre for £100, standard ignition is retarded around 4-7K revs, so you get a nice midrange boost with it fitted ( if it is restriced like previous GSXR/GSXS/B-KING/Hyabussa)
That muffler is obscene... Get rid of. asp. But suzuki is smart, couse u dont need a full system, just a after market slip on. Good.
+Plinio yeah it's horrid but 99% of people ditch it so no biggy tbh
does it not come with braided lines??? Madness, all them toys and they scrimp on the brake lines!
Hippo-Drones Lines aren't the problem. It's the shit master cylinder.
The front brake is the same on the GSXS1000 lots of movement before it bites.
Has to be a Suzuki thing. My 2012 750 does the same thing as well.
girlfriends suzuki 250 intruder does the same
yeah man, my suzuki swift does the same
Put the traction control on 1 you still get a bit of slip.
My lawnmower doesn't have a fuel gauge either but cost a lot less.
Cool Vid :)
just bought a K5 classic
I've got a k6. I recommend the Woolwich racing flash. It helps the bike run cooler in traffic. Also head up to MCT and get your suspension done. He can revalve and set up the standard shock. The difference is night and day on the road
How does it compare to the other 1000 class bikes?
It's one amazing machine. I just sold one after having it for 10 years. It still is top notch quality. Ultra reliable that can still hang with the best of them. It's super lightweight. Have fun with it.
@@TrulyUniqueOne my K5 ran ice cold. Just use engine ice. I never had anything close to cooling issues on it.
@@mike216ism I haven't either I just said the bike ran cooler after the flash
Looks like the bike saved your skin! did you use back brake or was that all bike ?
+Space Dad 999 no bike did nothing I shut it down, no tc light came on ... it would have flipped I'm sure if I hadn't closed the throttle. Top tip don't go full chat with wheelie control on level 1!! 😂😂
Looked mental 😳stay safe pal👍
+Space Dad 999 it's gone back today but have to say it's really grown on me. As you know I'm not really in to sports bikes but this thing has some character. Not V-twin character but not bad 😉
Needs a bigger exhaust pipe
How old is that statement now
What mount do you use for your Go pro on the mirror?
+thephilosopherslegacy just a cheap ebay one, well replaced it now after the unintentional wheelie failure 😂
I liked this video
Spongey brakes. Welcome to owning a GSXR, dude. Do yourself a favor and get a Brembo RC-S master cylinder. You just think about braking and it starts braking. Suzuki thought process: Hey, let's put the nice Brembo calipers on this bike, but still use the shitty Nissin master cylinder, so the brakes remain feeling like shit and you waste the nicer calipers. Makes total sense!!!
Couldn't agree more! I've currently got a GSXS1000 with brembos and that's OK. Not amazing brakes but feel is ok. Not sure why GSXR is allways so bad!
I remember these brake issue days on my GSXR K7 1000. Then, I got a Panigale 1199 and the brakes are PHENOMENAL. However, I still my ex-bike like a bitch that gave amazing head!
Yes even I got scared just watching this ha! Nice... very nice indeed.
Mate I S***T my pants watching that wheelie. HOLY F****** MARY OF JOESPH!!!!
The Fake Vegan for a split second I thought chops was going to be testing his leathers!
Tell me about it!! He would have had a double test of those leathers because he would have more then turtled!! LMAO LOL
Stock better option, ecu flash, master cylinder and Ohlins can be had for $3000
Nice exhaust lol 😆
Are you sure you're not Julian Rider?
I still laugh at the power wheelie. Watched this so many times. 😂😂💩
5:05 that's what she said.
Yay a review I can watch as I have already ridden it! 🙂
It's still recording! Don't kill me
Need to switch on anti gopro ejection 😁
👍👍👍
Lucky with ya GO PRO......!
Light weight battery too
they put the 2017 GSX R1000's mirrors on to the 2017 GSX R150. idk it makes my gsx r150 looks like an expensive bike lul
Getting test rides is one thing but how do you get loans for 2 weeks?
that baffles me!
that wheelie was damn scary...but the itself is just glorius! the engine, and that blue paint! :-)
Damn how narrow are that routes!
How do you get bikes for 2- weeks
I borrow direct from the UK press fleets, this TH-cam thing has caught on with the UK PR people now and they see it as worth while use of the bikes with the exposure they get.
It sounds anemic, but doubt it reacts that way.
