Great review! Just bought a 2024 GSXS 1000 GT+ and rode it 800 km in 12 hours. As a fellow shorter rider (~167 cm), I was extremely comfortable! I can get the balls of both feet on terra firma and that's just right for the low weight of thus bike. The wind blast was manageable and the stock screen left my helmet in "clean" air so there was minimal helmet buffeting. I did get numb bum after a couple of hours but a short break and some walking around reset my asset. All in all, I am blown away by the comfort, performance, price, and looks of the bike. I absolutely love it! Cheers!
I have owned the same bike bought it new 2022 done 14600 miles on it I have been riding for over 50 years owned dozens of bikes but this is the best bike I have ever owned. It does have faults though poor front brake unless you pull very hard dreadful standard tyres easily fixed seat becomes hard after around 150 miles. but I can forgive it all because of the engine its fantastic a little low geared perhaps. I like it so much I have ordered a new one in red picking it up in 10 days regards louis masters
@@highestsprings no compared to my old bikes it's smooth. People say there is a slight vibe about 70ish but nothing that I've really noticed myself. I tend to try and avoid motorways best I can anyway 🙂👍

@@louismasters5531 That's good to hear... Proof in the pudding you're buying again. Enjoy the new bike 😀👍
Cheers for the overview, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Flat footing is overrated. It’s something newbies worry about but do not realize after a few hundred miles of ownership is completely unnecessary.
Do you find it has heavy vibes in the bars on motorway speeds?
