It's wild how the handlebars really change the vibe, especially when you're looking at it all the time and using it. Love the shape and frame of the bike.
i've liked the looks of these bikes since they were reintroduced (I'd been riding for a few years when the original came out and liked how that looked too) however if there was one thing besides my current age that would stop me from buying one it would be the small fuel tank capacity compared to most other bikes.
@simonapeters4372 if you have one of these motorcycles, I would really like to continue this conversation. The motorcycle felt horrible with the stock handlebars, but feels amazing with these to ride add to that the sheer number of Manufacturers that make handlebar setups for this bike both available in Japan and in the United States. I'm certainly not alone in my assessment. The stock handlebars, to me felt like I was halfway through and upright row at the gym. The bike was simply far too upright with the ape hangers that it comes with.
@@bmasontvI have one of these that I bought new in 2021. I like it very much, especially since removing the catalytic converter connecting it onto the Yoshimura slip on with a short connecting custom pipe. It has now also been dyno tuned with a measured 150hp at the rear wheel. I don’t get what you’re on about regarding the standard handlebars as I find them just great and very comfortable. Your dimensions may be very different from mine though and if those aftermarket bars work for you I am happy for you.
These never took off in Australia cos they compete directly in price with the S1000R, which you see tons of. IMO the Suzuki has more style, but the BMW has more power, more features and better range. There's a lot of GSXS1000s on the road here, so Suzuki are also taking sales from themselves

You should have left the stock handlebars on it it looks like you have ape hangers on it now. you're supposed to be leaning forward it's a sport bike

I’m doing the same to mine … I want to travel on mine … and the higher bars make the ride much nicer … way more comfortable .
@@simonapeters4372 I'm confused, the Sato clip-on style bar is significantly lower and more forward than the stock bar

Like the B-King. I have seen one or two, have seen more RC30S and even an RC45.
