I’m a gsxr owner for the past 5 years, and this bike is my daily commuter to work. I chose the base model over the R because in my experience in the base model’s suspension is more road oriented than the track. I believe that the gixxer is the only sports bike, after the S1000rr that you can ride on the road for longer duration. Reliability has been no issue for me. The only thing that I do in this bike is basic maintenance. If Suzuki scraps this bike, it will certainly be missed. Every motorcycle lover is a gixxer admirer.
@@richardcerritelli9657 there is a standard 1000 and the 1000r. There is about a $2500 difference in price due to the suspension, steel braided brake lines, different dash, front led's, advanced abs etc on the R model. I went with the R when I bought my 2023. Felt the features justified the price difference and love the bike.
Suzuki deserves so much more respect. Who cares if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles something like a S1000RR can have. They’re seriously overkill at this point. They seem so good on paper but when you’re actually riding most of them really aren’t necessary. I think Suzuki makes an awesome bike which they have successfully been pushing for years now. Every true rider knows that Suzuki is one of the real legends.
@@MotoJournoKris i would love a new GSXR 750 but I think I’ve left it too late to get a new one. Also on a different note, my dad liked your review on the GSX-S1000 so much he ordered one from Sydney Citys Campbelltown, it should arrive next month
@@MotoJournoKris The 750 is nothing like a 1 litre. It still needs bags of revs on board. Suzuki don't sell ANY GSXR-750's nowadays. They are a relic of the past.
@@theaustralianconundrum While they may not be like a litre bike, the 750 is pretty bad ass (had a 2020 gsxr 750 that I traded in on my 2023 GSXR 1000R). The 750 is still sold and the 2024 750 just came out.
I plan on buying this bike soon. I got to sit on it after watching the dude drive into the shop from the trailer. Engine sounds so good. My leg and arm positioning was so perfect. It was almost as if i should of bought the bike a long time ago.
Wish that i had one of those bikes, but its too expensive here in my country, although there's a lower cc that's cheaper than 1000cc but still i cannot afford to buy it, its just a dream for me,,, rides safe always,,,🇵🇭
@@MotoJournoKriswe still have the GSXR750 and 600 in the United States. I rode a couple of friends GSXR750's before and they were fun over 9,000 rpm. I don't like to wait that long for my fun so I have a 21' GSXR1000R. I like to see what other riders think of it. Nice review by the way. I love the low to midrange power on it. It sounds pretty crazy even with the stock exhaust when I get on it hard.
Excellent review. I’m in the market for one but I’m struggling to part with $26500 for a bike without a TFT & cruise control. I waited for a few years for an update but that hasn’t happened. I’m also looking at the Tuono and Superduke but I’ve always wanted a GSXr
@@MotoJournoKris Superbikes in the naughties were more streetable too. I’m not too fussed about the price tag but at least throw in cruise control & a colour TFT
This is EXACTLY why I'm building from the "FRAME UP" an '04 GSXR 1k, DON'T LIKE ALL THESE EXTRA ELECTRONICS settings they keep shoving in these bikes... beautiful as it is.... still don't need a bike to tell me HOW TO RIDE. I STARTED on a '92 GSXR 750 SLINGSHOT....
Awesome! I reckon there'll always be a place for the older more analogue (in comparison) machines. Will be interesting to see what's still running in 20 years, and able to be kept on the road.
Good catch. The standard has the Motion Track Braking system too, but it looks like it may only be rear lift control, not cornering ABS for some reason...
To be honest the 750 would probably be a better value for money road bike, I would buy one in a heartbeat, unfortunately only the yanks have them!. Almost tempted to import one.
@@MotoJournoKris Unfortunately the "nanny state" of Australia has destroyed sales of 1 litre sportbikes. I took my final road road in Late 2019. Even 600cc sportbikes are now out of the question. A race track is the only sensible option as we move forward. Now aged 63, I can still have a blast without getting any ridiculous traffic penalties or fines. I'd avoided the track days for decades thinking it too restrictive and controlled, however given the current state of stupidity there has never been a better time to take all bikes off the roads and onto road or MX tracks. I'm pulling near on 300KMH on the straights on road circuits and almost 150KMH on dirt tracks. All of it legal and incredibly satisfying!
@@theaustralianconundrum Yep, it's a pretty sad really and I think many things will be banned, or regulated out of existence before people properly take note and push back. Although the track and dirt tracks are great alternatives for now. Sound complaints seem a big issue for their continued existence however.
@@MotoJournoKris Totally agree. I have never found a need to replace the factory designed exhaust/muffler systems that produce 195 BHP and throw on an exhaust/muffler that is 10 times louder for a 5 BHP gain. I call them wankers who engage in this activity. No offence. But we WILL see everything fast and furious taken off "public" access roads purely for litigation and insurance and government liability matters. If this happens? Does not bother me one iota. I LOVE the freedom of private land and tracks any day over the Nazi Greenie stupidity we now are subjected to. Cheers man!
There's actually ride-by-wire, and VVT, plus most of the expected electronics, but I'd tend to agree they are the least inspired of the manufacturers overall. Whether supersport/superbike machinery really deserves any updates or R&D, or whether that money and time would be spent better literally anywhere else is a big question these days.
Yea I think Kawasaki justified that with years of WSBK domination. Without that, it would probably be a different story. Suzuki are in an odd spot in comparison. Their latest updates are much more road/ADV orientated.@@richardcerritelli9657

Absolutely amazing.What an awesome bike.
This bike lures you into a dream
I wish that someday i can ride a bike like this, because i never had a big bike ever since, before,,, love this bike so much 🇵🇭
That's the most honest review I've seen on the 1000R, good job 👍 if I was in the market for one I would buy the base model.
I'd do the same honestly, although the GSX-R750 would be awfully tempting, being that sweet spot between the 600 and 1000!

I know this road. I'm too scared to ride fast with the amount of cops that sit on it.
Yep it's a nice road, but have to be quite careful, also often bicycles and slow drivers through there, especially weekends.

I have a feeling it's stainless steel.
