- 2021 Suzuki GSX-S 1000 | First Ride Review
Suzuki were kind enough to let me loose on their revised GSX-S1000 for a few weeks. But is this just a face lift and some fancy headlights or is there a cracking litre road bike underneath? Join me for this first ride review as I try to find out!

Absolutely love my '18 model.
Definitely one of the most underrated bikes on the market.
Understated good looks, too.
Suzuki bikes are the most underrated, especially this one and the 750. They aren’t the flashiest, or the best, but they tick all the boxes for a daily rider. Even the gixxer is such a comfortable kick a** sport bike.
Agreed started out on a gixxer 250r and it was the perfect bike to learn on for me
If you think they are underrated then you are wrong. They sell more bikes than some European manufacturers like Ducati and BMW combined and obviously last longer than them.
You should say Suzuki aren't much discussed amongst the online bike racers lol.
The real bikers knows it's values.
@@deathtomorons9388 spot on. I didn’t know the sales numbers, so thanks for enlightening me on that. Love Suzuki bikes so much that I’m glad that they sell more than the “status” bikes. As a gixxer owner I’m always considered a threat to life😂
@@brandonjoseph3422 I also own a 2018 gixxer R1000. It's a great bike running till date without any problem.
Suzuki also have a very rich MotoGp record. It's the 4th most winning manufacturer while ducati is only at 5th.
Suzuki especially the Gixxers and the Hayabusa have a high prestige in the biker community.
Don't forget that Suzuki was the first to revolutionize the world of naked bikes with the Suzuki Katana and the Legendary SV650X.
Suzuki bikes are very underrated. For instance the r6 is seen as such a track weapon. Thats all you hear about it. Track weapon. Track weapon. My gsxr 600 makes the same power at a lighter weight, but no one calls it a track weapon. Smh
Any bike under 550 lbs and has over 115 hp is gonna be plenty quick for daily riders who don't go to track. This thing is even lighter and more powerful so it's a beast even if it's not the super duke
And then you have price! Suzuki for the big win!
When you started riding in mode A, my heart rate actually rose. Awesome review Dan. Seems like the best choice now for a street naked.
It was very different to B mode! :D
After one year and 8000 km I have never tried the A mode😂 Bike is awesome, Dans review is spot on! Display is often critizised, but you can always read speed, gear and rpm😅
Engine, gearbox and suspension are fantastic for the road. Can recommend it also for inexperienced riders or even talented new riders. It is so much fun even in C Mode and with traction control fully on. But with so much performance you should know what you are doing. Accelerates from 100 to 200 kmh in 5,4 sec.😊
I've heard that the spongy brakes and the single shock absorber are criticized, can you tell me more?
@@Alex-ro7vh If you want brutal inital bite from brakes, then the GSX-S cant deliver. But I am not a racer and dont like to brake hard before the corners, so no complaints here. I like the brakes and the brake feel. I can easily trail brake into corners.
The rear shock is pretty good for the road, comfort is just right and in fast corners it is absolutely stable even on less than perfect roads, so no pumping or anything.
Problems with the bike? Recommend it?
@@TheTuschi I guess it would be enough to upgrade brake hoses to braided ones if you wanted more bite in the first part of the braking?
I've heard Suzuki technicians decided to stick to classic ones to make breaking more progressive / modular
@@sidineiperondi6351 No problems after 11.500 km. It is a pretty awesome naked bike for the road. You can also do a bit of touring. I added a luggage system from Hepco Becker and a Puig windscreen. Comfort is not bad at all, longest ride was 5,5 hours and 330 km. But even now it still is much more a sports bike than a tourer.
150 bhp, quickshifter,19 litre tank, Abs, Japanese reliability and a pleasure to work on, the ultimate naked road bike, one small point the paints a tad thin on the tank but Suzuki do a great paint protection kit
Forgot to mention quality and finnish have been suspect over the past, hope Suzuki have sorted it
@@darrylbray6919 I have a 2016 Hayabusa and a 2018 Gixxer 1000r.
Both are running perfectly without having a single problem till date.
My Vstrom 1050 XT has been flawless
And my 2021 DR650 was also flawless.
Dan is something else. To appreciate the gsxs' line.. You rock sir!
I've owned this bike since Oct 21 and its just had its 600 mile service. When the better weather hits ill be on it daily and I'm planning some big runs...hopefully into Europe. Covid depending, and for 11k its a steal. Your review is spot on about this bike mate.
I watched this and smiled as though I was riding the bike. I own a GSXS1000F and love it as a daily rider. I am tempted by the newer GT.
Looks like the liger from zoids. Sazuki nailed the looks on the bike
Zoids! Now that takes me back to my childhood!
Nice review Dan, I do love that bike. I’ve got used to the looks of it now. The speed is addictive. One of the 1000cc nakeds for sure
Great review. Watching this from Guyana, South America as a former 89 GSXR 750 Slingshot owner, I do appreciate this new model. A few of the previous generation are rolling around here and they're quite quick and comfortable!
Nice, I love the old Slingshot models. Thanks for watching! 👍
Superb production and overlays with music. I will now watch the rest of the video haha! (after 26 seconds...) I love the natural review style, lovely vids and detailed shots. Keep it up!!
The GSXS 1000 is the '96 bandit 1200 spirit we deserved today
Nothing like it, far superior
Brilliant bikes Dan. I really enjoyed my time with one.
yes, they took the engine from the 2005 gsxr's (k5) for both the 1k and 750. nice review, love this new refresh.. but also love my 2015 750 ahah.
Have a 21MY GSX-S750 and it's a great bike. For the price point, it is superb on the road. Well setup for road riding, eager and confidence inspiring. I'll upgrade to the latest 1000 for sure later in the year based on how impressed I have been with the 750.
Same situation here, love my gsxs750, but upgrading to gsxs1000 next year/ season
I have the same model - love it. One thing you can see in the review is that he's really not out of second gear - I like that the 750 lets you work the engine more. But I am curious what the liter bike is like.
Danny English... What class... What distinction!
I love this review I would be riding just like you and having the same commentary with myself I think I’m sold on this bike.
Remember this bike has the engine derived from the 2005 GSXR-1000K5 engine, which was a monster of an engine with no rider aids (thankfully) and when you put it mode-A and opened it up it sounded just like my old 2005 K5 Thou, great memories of that bike, perhaps I might look into one of these as I'm trying to find something more comfortable nowadays, just a bit unsure of those stacked headlights tbh. 🤔
Great review and edit, mate 👍🏻
Nice review. Too many people get caught up in spec sheets instead of actually riding a bike! I really like it as do most reviewers seemingly. It's an underrated relative bargain & perfect for the road. I like the looks too but not that colour. The dash is pretty average & a bit busy but I'm not overly fussed with TFTs so being an LCD isn't a deal breaker for me personally. Supposedly if you turn it up to max brightness it's not too bad.
All the reviews have been really good. However, since those first ride reviews, have you noticed how not one has mentioned it since in a group test. It's now once again completely off the radar.
@@longdog67 Yep totally agree. Essentially because it's not premium with at least 175bhp, it doesn't exist. There are potentially 2 types of group tests, one that looks at performance to determine the outright best bike & the other is a real world test that takes price in to account. When was the last time you saw the latter? The GSXS will never appear in a performance group test but could potentially win the real world one. Possibly one of the best value bikes on the market at the moment in terms of what you get for your money. On price it's competing with the KTM Duke 890R & Triumph Street Triple RS & has way more bang for your buck. However most people will completely ignore it to their detriment.
@@ragerider6283 And on top of all that, you get Suzuki reliability.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o Agreed & a 3 year warranty!
@@ragerider6283 three years! You won't need it, though. My B-King never missed a beat in over seven years.
I really love this bike, the power delivery is very good for street ride.
Nice review Dan .
Dan what a lovely bike. You have managed to transmit your excitement through the video. Take care.
This is true. :) I also find this bike really exciting. Drop by buddy, you may find something for you.
Great review Dan, I know you did a review on the gt+ a few months ago and was wondering which model is more comfortable? I know that is subjective to what the rider likes. Is there a difference in leg room, handlebar height, seat comfort ect... and how do they compare to the ninja 1000sx on comfort?
Is this video made a few months ago Dan ? Because this doesn't look like England at the end of January, judging by the summer gear that you are riding with. Nice bike and review by the way.
Yes indeed, when it was still warm! :(
Very nice demo, thank you! Up to what speed is the engine sound actually audible and enjoyable to you?
Hi Dan .. Great review. Just wondered how you find the Shark zarco helmet?
Cheers
Lee
I love the kit on this model but am in love with last year's body styling. I'm torn. There's a 2019 GSX-s1000 for 9k only an hour and a half from where I live. Loved it on the test ride, but liked the new kit even more when I test rode that one. Loved riding both, but the edge goes to the new one. Can't say both look good because, I love the old style looks.
The sharp angles of new bixe has sort of grown on me and it's how it is anyway. The front light reminds me of the remake of Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the new Zaphod Beeblebrox had his heads!🙃
Test ride this a month ago, so smooth and seamless quickshifter, saying that coming off an MT09 anthing is smooth 😂
Haha true!! :D
Great review!
Very noice Dan the man! Love ❤️ the starting! Beautiful hummmm! 😂 @14.50 mins!!!
I'm not much into Modern designed naked bikes, I'm more into classic design But this one is actually Really nicely designed, I mean at certain angles its not bad at all.
You are not wrong that the frame has a bit of flex to it , the front engine hanger section used to be a triangle, now the horizontal bar has Been deleted. I'd say it is even better that way! Same as the katana.
Baring the sv650, suzuki seems to always have the best stock seats in my experience. And the most welcoming dealers here in japan
They are comfortable for sure. Thanks!
The sv 650s seat is like riding on a 1930s tractor seat,worst seat ever.
Almost as if suzuki forgot to fill it with foam!
Even the bandits seat is better and that seat is terrible also haha!
Thank you so much for the video segment, I'm really enjoying it!
I bought a 2018 SV650 and love the riding feel and handling, do you feel for a rider getting back into the saddle this would be a good second bike after an SV650 ?
Jeff, not directly on point, but I went from a 17 Sv650 to a 17 S1000r, where (for reasons set out on my post above) is probably similar in terms of rider aids to my 17 s1000r. I was a brand new rider when I bought the SV, and 14 months later bought the BM. I chose the BM over the 17 GSXS1000 because it lacked the rider aids the BM had, and a horrible snatchy throttle. At the time I was confident that the rider aids would help me grow in to what was at the time an insanely quick bike, where the reliance on my skills (then limited) due absence of rider aids on the Suzuki was too much a a risk, for me. The BM has been great, and 52000 later it is great. My theory is the 22 GSXS1000 would be very similar to my 17 s1000r in terms of rider aids and you will, if you have some self control and do things to improve your skills (I have done many track days). If anything, the Suzuki probably sounds a little better than the BMW (which sounds gruff at idle) and as you will know the reliability might be even better. But, hang on to the SV - I got AU$5500 on trade and wish I had it for urban commutes where 1000cc is just unnecessary, and the slow runs can cause carbonisation
So I rode and really like the gsxs1000. Is the gsxs750 as much fun? What would you say is the major difference I would notice if I rode them back to back?
Like to see this compared to CB1000r, MT10,Z900
Simple anwser and forbtye money definitely yes! It will do the weekly commute and the weekend blasting with mates!! Obviously if you want more bhp then you will need to pay more for that! But I recon an average rider on a public road this will be as quick down the favourite road as bikes costing twice as much! Cause as usial the limiting factor is the rider capabilities and the resistance to the "scar yourself silly" moments. Not the bikes capabilities or grip from the tyres. On a track it probably will be a different story but as well a slow rider will be slow on a Streetfighter V4S as well as this! Good review!
Ooooooooh biking season is a coming! Scottish roads still salty 😓.
Good review.
Nice review Dan. If you had a choice of this bike vs the 2021 MT09, what would you choose? I'm struggling to decide.
I've not ridden the MT09 so I can't advise between the two.
Looks like a fun bike 👍😎
Gonna make a review of the new aprilia tuono v4 factory?? 😉👍
All the white vans are down in Great Missenden? Nice review.
I wish they were! Thank you! 👍
for people that are complaining about the headlights, KTM is literally coming up with their duke range with almost similar headlight design .
Currently on my sv650..this will be my next bike.
nice bike has all the basics just good engine and good frame hasn't gone to crazy with all the electronic tech so looks as though he could shine on reliability. i like it the das has all the essentials and none of electronic clutter. For those that just want to ride and keep some money in your wallet perfect
My thoughts exactly!
Dan, what's the headlamp performance like at night?
What mic setup have you got? when I used a gopro hero 9 and media mod and mic input it was such a pain to get it all running and it stopped working after a day :/
GoPro 9 with media mod. Connected up to a Sena 10S boom mic using two adapters, one is to get the Sena to 3.5mm size and then a TRRS to TRS. I've heard of others having issues but so far (touch wood), it works well for me.
How does it compare to the cb1000r or the mt10?
My local dealer has new 2024 GSX-S1000's $2,600 off for just under $9,000 before fees and taxes. Seems like an excellent deal as far as performance/cost ratio. But I know as soon as I plunk down the money, Suzuki will come out with a newer version with an upgraded TFT screen.
Sold I own a 2013 GSXR 750 sounds so much like the 750 when you excelerate.
Is it expensive or difficult to install cruisecontrol ?
Enjoyed watching you getting lost in Upton Grey!
Guys, come on. Of course you need to look at the dash, but it's more about looking at the road. It's a bike that you'll ride "feeling" the bike and the road. I assume that I don't keep looking at the dash. So, of course it would be better to have a TFT, but keep in mind this: cost x benefit. Maybe the best in this category. I Have a Z900RS Café but thinking about changing. Hope this comes to Brazil (and I think it will).
Nicely done review. Well explained and showed. I am more interested in the GT version, but the engine is the same. Keep going. :)
Yeah the GT is good too and a bit more protection from the elements. Cheers! 👍
@@Englishbikerdan Agree on that. :)
@@Englishbikerdan Agree on that.
Interesting after riding the gsxs750 and 1000 and owning the cbr650 you decided on the SV 650. I guess high horsepower is not that important to you. I think I might be the same. Currently I ride an older gs500f but I'm thinking of upgrading.
Do you prefer this to the CB1000R? More low-down shove than one. I'd like the Suzuki if I had need for a litre bike, but the roads in Thailand don't require so much power. I used to have B-King in Europe. A bit too heavy at 265 kg, though. The 1000 is pretty light, relatively speaking. These litre-plus Suzuki inline fours can often get to over 80,000 miles without needing a valve shim. Fantastic old-school engines.
Tough choice between the two. The CB is a very pretty bike but for comfort I'd go with the Suzuki. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan Interesting it's more comfortable.
As far as the look goes and especially the headlights - if you don't like it there's always the Katana or the new GT. Similar performance-wise but different styling. The Katana is the one I'd choose.
Katana is so damn sexy. I feel that kind of power would mess me up though. I’d love one but I’m not sure I want all that power.
Katana tank is the letdown - only 12L 👎
If the Katana had a 17-19L tank I’d pick it all day any day, but because of that issue, the GT gets my pick.
@@mattfrancis8826 yeah that capacity is really tragic.
As someone with sensitive knees, would you say the angle is similar to anything else you've ridden? I'm thinking of coming from a tuono 660 but don't want a more aggressive knee angle.
If it's like the s750, there really is no problem with the knee bend. The positon is comfy enough, but still gives you feeling of nice control over the bike. It is 150 HP of machine.
What a cool bike!!!.. The third party windshield/flyscreen is available, right?
Yeah they'll do something. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan To be honest though, as a current owner of GSX S750, I am not sure if it is worth upgrading to S1000 especially my ride is mostly in the city with occasional weekend tour. As much I am happy with my S750, Ninja 400 has been the best 'bang for the buck'' bike for my city ride with weekend tour among 7 bikes I tried in the past 4 yrs or so.
My dilemma is.. that.. will S1000 be so much better than my current S750 at cruising at 50 - 75 mph ( 80 - 120 kmh) ?
dream bike
I am deciding between this Suzuki GSX-S1000 and the Triumph Speed Twin 900. Similar price (after 2024 Suzuki discount), weight, riding position, and lack of wind protection. Both good looking but in much different ways. Completely different power, performance, and character though! Which one would you go for?
The PCP on my SV650 finishes this year and I’m seriously considering one of these next. You think you one of these would be a good ‘next bike’
Yeah absolutely. Proper good bike this. 👍
@@Englishbikerdan yeah think I’ll probably stick with Suzuki and go for one of these
I don't believe a TFT would cost a whole lot more and would be my preference on this style of bike. How do the ergonomics compare to the CB650R? I ask because I know you owned one and it's my current bike.
Incredibly comfortable, more so than the 650r. Closer in comfort to the older 650f; even more I'd say.
So i took this out for a test ride the other day. Did you notice the jerky throttle or was this perhaps just my model? I was on a long straight and decided to open it up while riding at normal speed and it was a very noticeable time delay from my cruising speed to monster speed. which caused a jerk motion.
Did you experience this? any idea why it does this?
In A mode, yes a bit. In B mode, nope. 😁
Sir, Is this your favorite between the Z900, Honda CB1000r or CB65R or the Ducati Monster. I can only have one and riding 30 years just want one for weekend rides etc. Please give me your choice between those and this Suzuki Thanks
I'd probably choose this! Great value 1000cc bike!
Great motorcycle Suzuki again best HP for your money , best value? .
Also in comparison the Aprilia Tuono is Lets be Honest a De Faired Sports Bike not a Super Naked, The KTM DUKE 1290 is just a Out of Control Animal over Tuned & the MT-10 is nice full of Tech But is not a very good Riding Position & has a Front Wheel made of Helium lol Were as the GSX-S1000 is a True Definition of a Super Naked, Smooth-Loads of Power, Stop and Corners like a Boss and the BEST THING - - - - - the S1000 is approx. $4-$6K -Thousands Cheaper than all the others. SO in my Mind its the Clear Winner because you have loads of Cash / Thousands left for Upgrades and Addons and to make it look and Ride even Better. And I heard a Rumour there Going to Introduce the Vinyl Package and Carbon accessories pack options late 2022 just like they have for the GSX S750 Options.
Hi Dan,
maybe a bit sad but as I'm waiting until May to buy one hopefully 22/23 model, but my question is maybe odd and you may not know the answer but here it is:
Sounds like a great bike, I just don’t find it very good to look at, I like the front of the new gt better. I’m assuming the engine tune is the same on both bikes?
Seemed identical in the engine department. No bad thing I reckon!
@@Englishbikerdan Yeah I think the engine is the highlight of the gsxs series of bikes, the K5 seems to be thought of as one of the best engines in motorcycling, (along with yamaha's CP3) I was between the Katana, with the same engine, and the CB1000r last year and went with the Honda strictly because of the fit and finish and overall quality look of the bike.
@@KB-yj5xp @K B The CB1000R is a fantastic bike too! Can't blame you for going that way.
GSXS 1000 or CB1000R? Which handles better?
Nice video. You should try Z900.
this bike reminds of me Gundam Freedom, especially with that blue colorway.
Back door action?
If I ever upgrade from my MT07, this one is very high on the list
Nice bike, but I wish it had the TFT dash from the GT, instead of the 1980s Atari dash. If this bike & the Katana both got the GT's dash, the cost per unit would surely be acceptable?
TFT from the GT would be my preference too.
Either that or an analog rev counter 💪
What’s the outro song Dan?
Good review Dan, I just looked at the Suzuki web site and there are 3 versions, the GSX-S750 and then the newGSX-S950 & GSX-S1000??? Why would they bother with the 950 version??? It's the same 999cc motor just down on BHP & Torque so the 1000 has 152/106 and the 950 has 95/92 to just down tuned???
Thanks Jeff. The 950 replaces the S750 essentially and it's limited to 95bhp so it can be used for A2 license holders. It's very smart move from them I think! Cheers!
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks for the update Dan, I was wondering why they did.
@@Englishbikerdan ...but you lose the 750. Seems a shame.
Cool bike 🏍 😎
Lovely bike, v. v. nice.
Think I've asked this before but what model of shark helmet is that?
D-Skwal 2 Zarco rep. All my gear is always in the description too. 👍
Seems to be a good bike. Would like it better in mat black. The front is a bit like Darth Vader without his helmet, when he wanted a last look at Luke before he died.
Thank you for this Dan!
Haha, love the Vader analogy, it's spot on! Cheers John. 👍
I'd like to see you review the S1000R
Me too, I'm working on it. 😁
Good review really nice bike the only thing I am not to keen on is the front light setup would it stop me havin one if I could no , I think not. Suzuki make good engines in my experience and this one is no exception I am sure : ) .
The front light got me excited
I do like Suzuki products but there's one glaring issue it's a hoodlum design Street fighter looking bike I think they should have used a big twin or an inline three cylinder in my opinion the four cylinder is just too uninspiring
Between the GSX S1000 and CB1000R which engine and shifter is smoother?
Both being litre inline fours, they're very similar.
Is the fueling and throttle response jerky at slow speeds? It sounds like A mode is that way.
Just rode one and in A mode a tiny bit snatchy pulling away but other than that nothing jerky at slow or fast speeds
Problem is keeping it at same speed at low speed. Then its a bit jerky but i made around 8 km on bikw so i need to get a feeling. Bike rides easy,to easy,maybe its tires but falls in corner to fast after 10 years of not riding. Yeah it have same HP as my cbr 1000 2005 - so no lack of that , if you can handle it and set up suspension you have gsx r for road tripng.
Nice review but I wish Dan would get his facts right. The new gsxs makes LESS peak torque (but more lower down the revs) and MORE power than the previous models not less! The engine is from the K5 to K8 gsxr 1000 and not the 750.
That's the downside of trying to remember all of the bike stats that I memorised while out riding and getting lost. It's definitely easier to sit at a desk and look them up. The K5 comment was meant as, have they gone the same route as the S750 and used the K5 engine (as in, K5 1000 gixxer for this particular bike). Which is a yes as I now know. I do this for fun and in my spare time, I'm not a professional rider or journalist, so I get things wrong on occasion. Worse things happen at sea.
I ride a 500 ktm dual sport and I'm a conservative style rider, but I want a bike with punch. Would it be too much for me?
Depends on your riding style, but I think you'd be fine. 👍
@EnglishBikerDan I ride primarily offroad with it, and i like to ride fast.
Tripple? K5?
my dream bike. in indonesia suzuki bike is so rare. in indonesia is more honda and yamaha 😀
I'm a die hard tourer so the GT may be a better option for me.
Nice!
As a 2020 GSXS 750 owner, whilst the bikes are nice and priced competitively I've just started to see why the price is so low - build quality. I've got issues with wheel paint coming off whilst I'm polishing them by hand. I've got bubbling appearing and various external parts showing signs of excessive wear.
As a Honda owner of old, never had this problem. Really annoyed.
I own a 2018 GSXS 1000 and never encountered your issue, it could be the polishing products you're using isn't suitable for your application. The bubbling thing could be due to the water you're using to clean your motorcycle or could be the soap, not really sure which exactly.
Try new cleaning products and check if the water is suitable to clean your motorcycle.
There's CB1000r owners complaining about paint coming off on their bikes. Direct competitor to the GSXS
I have an 18 cb1000r... looks as good as the day it came out the factory. Apart from the screen on the dash gets scratched easy... love that bike
@@darksector82 it's auto glym, same product being used on a 70s Yamaha, 2014 fireblade and a 2020 CB500X with no issues.
I went to a Kawasaki/Suzuki dealer to look at a Z900.
In the showroom I saw a GSX-S with some very crude looking casting marks on the frame. I’ve no doubt that the Suzuki is every bit as reliable as the Kawasaki, but the fit and finish just seemed a step below.
How would you compare this with the gsxs750 you reviewed 10 days ago? Is it worth the extra money over the 750?
The 1000 is only 1kg heavier but considerably more powerful. Is it worth it? I think that's pretty subjective but for me, yes. 😊
You had the CBR 650 which is considerably less powerful than the gsxs750. Did you consider your CBR 650 underpowered?
Other than the power difference did the bikes seem about the same in terms of the ride?
@@korazon3spinado Not underpowered as I just change my expectations when riding lower powered bikes. The 650 needed ragging though! The 750 felt slightly more agile than the 1000 but that might be my imagination!
I guess the aluminum frame is how the 1000 is same weight as the 750
How long ago was this filmed??
A few months ago.
How were the headlights at night?
They did the job 👍
One ,question what's the transition from 125cc to 1000cc ?
500, 650, 750, 800, 900. Lots of various bikes to choose from. 👍
Don't. 125 to 1000, get something mid based for a while.
