  • This is well mannered naked liter bike. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 is the naked sibling of the GSX-R1000, sharing some of the components such as frame, however utilizes an evolution of that much loved K5 motor producing a little less power but therefor more torque.
    The aggressive and modern looks, a little bit transformer like, are not for everyone, but I do think they grow on you. Overall a very modern and up to date bike, solid with ample modern electronics for rider aids, yet simple enough not to be over the top.

    I’ve had this bike for a couple of years now and love it. If you are a taller rider for reference I’m 195cm and very comfortable on it

    I love how hard you rode it! I've owned the bike for 2 years at this point but never been faster than 160kmt, haha! The wind pressure for me gets a bit crazy above 140-150kmt (depending on how windy it is of course). Also, if you do ride this bike again, I recommend to ride out each gear fully. The power band really comes alive at the last third of the RPM range. The pull is good from 5k+, but its really at 8-9k+ its pulling its hardest.

    I adore this bike. I’m a guy who only likes naked bikes for 1 hour rides, and adventure bikes for longer rides. Either I want to be sitting completely exposed and have that true feel of being in the wind. Or I like to be covered as much as possible for a long haul ride where I have no saw neck, constant wind noise, yet comfortable triangle etc. this bike is most likely my next bike pending a test ride. It’s between this and the Hornet. Naked bike are suppose to be fun and these two bike seem to hit that brief while still being comfortable. This bike I just love the looks. I have owned the GSX S1000F and that was the perfect bike apart from the fuelling. This bike I would be super proud to own. I’d look back at it every time. To me it looks like a body builder of bikes. Being Suzuki you know it’s reliable and cheaper to service than the exotic bikes. It plays great tunes and has a QS. Nice weight for higher speeds. I guess i’m odd, but the swing arm is a piece of art and one of the major reasons to go for this straight up over the Hornet. But should the Hornet be more fun everything changes. Especially due to the big price difference.

    Had mine since May last year. Agree with the review apart from the quickshifter and brakes. Shifter has its quirks sometimes it hesitates and the brakes are wooden no feel, will be upgrading the pads soon. But yeah still loving the experience 👍

    I am 6'3.5 (192cm) with long femurs, and the foot pegs work fine for me HOWEVER it is the first part of the body to fatigue on a long ride.
    Thanks for the review, I am writing this comment at 12 minutes into the video.

    Nice review, enjoyable. Which would you have in your garage for city commuting and the occassional weekend ride over the twisties in the hills, the 8S or s1000?

    • @route21garage

      I think the 8S as it is more unique and could be ridden harder through twisties with more open throttle

    How does it compare to the Katana? Same engine more room on the Katana? More low end torque on the Katana or are they both the same one with fairing the other not? Seating position?
