Is The Suzuki GSXR The Best ROAD Sports Bike Ever? | Why Greg Bought One
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is a fantastic motorcycle one of only two litre sports bikes designed with road users in mind. Greg bought one earlier this year and in this video we discuss why it was a better purchase for him than a super naked.

I’ve had two gixxers, including the latest R, I’ve also had the S1000RR M Sport. Both amazing bikes but I can genuinely say the gixxer put more of a smile on my face. It does everything brilliantly, bags of character, and on the road is as fast as anything else. Enjoy it Greg, looks and sounds great
Also had 2020 gsxr 1000 lost it getting rear-ended at a stop light, and now have 22 S1000rr, honestly, it's not worth the price difference, and the riding position is almost identical. Yes BMW has more engine better brakes and better electronics but it's only 10% better for 33% higher cost. Also the GSXR with full tank was 1lb lighter than my bmw with full tank same supporting modes like full SS exhausts. It's true underrated machine and doesn't do well at track shoot outs because they always run the R over the base model and the r suspension is good for a 160lb rider max with soft springs where the base will hold up a 260lb person before maxing out the spring weight.
@@Porschemovieswhy did they spring the r so light ?
@@juicer404 I assume because test riders are lighter than us normal people. I wish Showa would have changeable springs and valving like Ohins direct from the factory but they don't
i just put a 30mm nix cartridge kit in mine and a ttxgp in there rear, different bike, no vibrations either anymore @@Porschemovies
about todo that on my s1000rr @@juicer404
Still rocking my K5 Gixxa thou. Had it for 17 years and she is a beautiful bike. Goes like the clappers and surprisingly comfortable on long rides. I used to change bikes around every three years, but this gixxa just became a keeper as I never found anything I liked better - even the modern ones. Still do track days on it, but find myself getting a bit conservative now... Even the ride day officials say to take it easy as it is now a rare piece of machinery
Couldn’t agree more…they’ve had so long to refine and dial them in they are near perfect. ‘13 GSXR750 for the track, 2014 1000 for road use…stupidly sold both but am always looking for another!
Really enjoyed this video. Having two of you chatting really adds to the whole video blogger experience, you should do more like this. A comparison video between the 2 Gixxers would also be a good view, let's hope the weather holds out for a few more weeks. 👍
Great to hear more to come 👍
This format worked really well
Such a shame Suzuki have pulled out of racing. Great bullet proof engines. Both of you hang on to your GSXR's. They are appreciating classics in the making.
Have no idea how many times I commented on the sound management in your reviews. The chat chat is just chat but the singing of the brand is - priceless?
TY.
Love that Gixxer colour scheme 🔥
That is a beautiful GSXR!!! Never owned a K series, raced a GSXR 1100H a million years ago! with slicks on,it handled like a 3 leged ballet dancer! nice vid 😊
GSXR is still a superb machine, reliable and reasonably comfortable considering the performance on tap. It’s a relative bargain when you consider the prices of a V4s/rr. I’m seriously considering getting a used k7/8 as a summer machine after your purchase. Suzuki really know how to make a beautiful engine and gearbox! Very sad to hear that production is going to stop. 😢
I own an aprilia rf and a bmws1000rr all great bikes ,my k6 is my daily, lots of miles on it,still relevant love it,going to get it flashed soon pc5 went bad
@@skatman3872 "pc5 went bad" you mean the motherboard on the computer? So you are replacing it with a flashed computer?
Gregorio's 2009 Arai Kevin Schwantz replica helmet is great!! I have the 2008 that has the 34 above the eyebrows. My favorite helmet! Oh and I loved my 2009 GSXR 1000, great bike. Miss it sometimes but my new GSXS 1000 GT is pretty great too.
Your out go never ever fails to make me laugh like a fool, been there and done all of that (numerous times). Thinking I’m in need of some mental health consultation. Never change my friend, we don’t deserve such terrific content!!! 😂
Haha thanks, still gets me too! 🤣
The GSXR is an every man's bike because it's so easy to work on, compared to the CBR especially if you do trackday maintenance.
I live in blandford just down the road from Compton abbas. Shame I wasn’t up there that day, would of been cool to meet you chops.
My mates and me go up there too. I live in Poole and meet up with my mates in Bridport, and then we go for a hoon up to Compton Abbas, then go for a hoon towards Dorchester, at which point I turn off and head up the A35 back to Poole and they head back to Bridport.
It’s changed up there now though, and we don’t seem very welcome, since Guy Ritchie bought it 🤬
IMO the GSX-R1000R is what the Fireblade always was until the torture implement known as the CBR1000RR-R, the GSX-R is flexible, comfortable (for a sports bike) and flatters your ability the way the older 'Blades did.
Yes do agree there 👍
It is the best imo. It breaks the rear tire loose around 8k fast light easy to ride. I love mine. I'm on the look out for a k5 1000 as well. Don't care for the new 25k+ bikes
The breakfasts at the airfield 😍 never owned a Suzuki or really ridden a GSXR properly despite numerous Hondas, BMs and Kawasakis. I really should do before my body won't let me anymore (my 97 Blade is hard work!)
The GSXR being seen as a sensible bike now is quite funny really. Remember in the old days where they had a reputation for hooligan riders, burn out, wheelie merchants and every other bike in a ditch was a Suzi soon to be reborn as a street fighter. 😂🤘
Great bikes. Good days! ❤
There's a good reason the GSXRs were massively popular...
I too have had my Euro 5 690 remapped, one for rideability and two because it can't be good for the engine running so lean as it does from factory.
I can confirm that the ridability is brilliant now the fueling/ignition has been altered and it's totally changed the bike. I'm sure you felt similar on yours Chopsy when fitting the power commander 👌🏼 .
Looking forward to the video and more on your pair of 690s!!
Good job Luke I agree it's better to get it done 👍
Got the exact same model and I think Suzuki won’t produce a newer one. Maybe this is the last of the era. Every time put smile on face when riding. I was looking for a full exhaust and remap, but now (in France), they will control gaz emissions and if the catalyzer is still there… Don’t want to swap the whole system every 2 years.
I’ve just brought 1200 speed triple because of your review ans my love of the triumph brand ( 3rd triple..🤪)
Always liked the GSXr range of bikes but being 67yrs young I’m sticking with my Africa Twin Dct lol this old age is over rated 😅
Yes, the answer is Yes.
Nice vid again, but everyone knows my bikes the best. Factamundo. 👊
Simple answer - YES
Yes
The airfield cafe always has more motorcyclists than pilots
Thought you may have done zig zag hill whilst you were so close
Not heard of that one... Will look it up
Seems you guys didn't recognize the porsche speedster you drove past at 10:40
Yeah missed it editing too!
Suzuki e’ fantastica il GIXXER e’ amore la migliore moto nel mondo
The Gixxer is the best road supersport bar none and the GSX-S the best naked-sport. The CBR is in a close second to the Gixxer. R6 and R1 just too extreme in ergo and etc.
Meh! No black puddin'.
Fireblade is the best road bike.
Yeah also great but the new one a little track focused
He is out of his mind lol. To each their own. I know some people prefer a sport bike for the road. Let’s be serious. Those people looney tunes. The smallest windscreen makes naked bikes perfectly livable on the highway. Also there is a better engine for the road. An in-line 3
Quiet you
Yes the gsxrs are great, but sorry bmw have a superior product
BMW’s are great, no dispute. It’s just the BMW S1000RR is quite a bit more expensive in the UK than the Suzuki and so this was also a big consideration. Cheers
😂 Suzuking..
Had 5 GSXR''s over 20 years absolutely superb Motorcycles never had a issue with any of them in all that time 👊
Best thing I’ve found with gsxr’s is that they are so easy to ride fast but they aren’t as boring as a blade
Good to see you both back! The GSXRs (All models) are still stonking bikes, and you're NOT mad about buying it!
Thanks Iain 👍
Sad Suzuki Stops development and race models supply.
So true.
Idiots, Mir Champion 2020, Rins won Philip Island and Valencia too.
It's a fantastic package.
Both Suzuki riders will cry on the Honda next year and wanting their awesome GSX-RR-s back!
Rins said he deserves to have that bike 😢, I hope he gets it
The Japanese bikes are superb quality. If you have pulled apart a lot of bikes, you see the Japanese bike parts are really well made, the machine finishing is perfect, and the engineering is sensible.
Best to hold onto this one! One of the last gsxr1000s and probably also the end of the era of full fledged race bikes for the road. RIP GSXR1000, even without Suzukis support you’ve still been winning races world wide from moto america to motoGP. I might be a Kawasaki guy at heart but I stand and salute one of the greatest bikes ever to grace the roads
Big shame that the ZX10R falls on its face racing typically. Not sure why, rode one we have at work and it's "pretty good". The GSXR still had more to offer down low power wise, with a telepathic chassis, but the ZX10R looks damn good in its KRT livery. Comfort isn't as good either but it's a great bike. At the end of the day the GSXR kind of fills in the 1 bike for all tasks (aside from offroading). Sad to see them stall production, for now.
@@jordanjoestar8839 yeah I agree, the variable valve timing on the Suzuki makes all the difference for sure, the zx10r is great to race with wide open but definitely not the back road bike the gsxr is. I’d ride either on the daily although I concede unless I was building a track or drag bike the gsxr is the obvious choice.
I'm with Greg, I think Suzuki do make some brilliant all round sports bikes. I've owned two GSXR 1000K3's and as a 6ft 4 lump they're a comfy machine to ride. And damn good fun!
Best do-it-all superbike for the common man. Greg chose wisely. 👍
❤❤
GSXR1000 still being sold in Australia & USA next year, the new 2023 models look to have exciting new bold colour options, but that’s it unfortunately. There’s a rework of the white and blue from a few years ago and black with yellow highlights. I get the feeling it might just go the way of the GSXR600/750 with next to no changes for the next few years until it eventually just drops off. Sad times indeed.
Nah , it’s good but the throb of the R1’s cross-plane crank kills the Gixxer ,
in every way.
The GXSR's have always been iconic machines and deep down I've always been a Suzuki fan, which I think started with my schoolboy scrambling day's on the early RM motocrossers. I find the GSXR's are an ideal road going sportsbike and have been tried and tested time after time so I know where you and Greg are coming from as regards to reliability and bullet proof engine's. It's a damn shame that Suzuki are taking this machine off the European market.
Great video again Chops. Thanks for the time and effort you put into reviews. Awesome. 😊👍
Thanks Dean 👍
On my 4th GSX-R750 now, a brand new 2023 model. Many years ago, I had a 2002 GSX-R1000 which was a beast, but still comfortable compared to the contenders at the time. There is something magical about the GSXR engine and induction sound. The gearbox is also silky smooth. Oh, and I have a 2022 GSX-S1000 which is my go to daily commuter.
Do you prefer the 750 gsxr power wise compared to the 1000 gsxr?
@@daveyboy6985 Definitely prefer the 750 because the powerband is much more usable on the street. I don't mind not having the ABS and TC because I learned to ride back in the 80's before that technology was available.
@@cmbiker thanks for your reply 👍
@@daveyboy6985 You're welcome and sorry for the late reply.
at last someone who talks some sense, comfort is over rated and the sportsbike haters (Journo's and so called influencers) have finally killed off the Legend that is the GSXR
Fun fact, the K6 GSXR1000 still to this day holds the record for the fastest 0-60 of any OEM production bike.
It's been since 2006 and nobody has yet to top it. Still winning Stock 1000 races against bikes double its price, and slapping everyone across the face in MotoGP this season.
Not to mention the comfort and low down torque, they are incredible bikes. My friend races his 2001 GSXR600 on circuit and its had 30,000 track only miles issue free. He has gopro footage passing modern liter bikes like the ZX10R, S1000RR and more.
I own a k6 1000 bought new I believe it,mine is still fast ,have lots of mods on it it was ahead of its time,the bmws1000rr copied alot of that bike
I have a low mile K6 I just dusted off recently and love every moment on it.
Triumph Rocket 3 0-60
I don’t think that’s accurate lol
I recently got a K6 GSXR and I absolutely love it
Shame about the Euro 5 stuff, makes you wonder what will be next! Maybe a return of the 750? Nice to see Greg
Probably a new GSX-R 750, but with the new parallel twin to compete with the R7 and the RS660😭
@@jaffabaffaNow that Suzuki has pulled out of racing they could actually make the perfect street sports bike, a proper replacement for the 750, something with ~150rwhp. Unfortunately the parallel twin R7 type sadness seems more probable.
@@IN_ZANE_ , I can only agree with you… The inline 4 is slowly dying, because of a lack of popularity and too expansive to pass Euro 5 certification. They did it for the 950/1000 GSXS (47.5ch to 150ch ! with same block !) , but I think it will be the last inline 4 they produce (in Europe). Twin are way more popular now (wheely machine) , so they invest in what they think will represent more sales.
Thanks Tenfx 👍
Suzuki is definitely making a come back in the motorcycle arena, not that it ever dropped off but the V-Strom and the new GSXR's are getting a lot of props from the street.
I wish this was true unfortunately we won't be seeing anymore gsxr in UK anymore due to Euro 5 they have stopped making them . They have pulled out of Moto GP and not in wsbk. It's a very sad time for Suzuki. I'm a massive fan and have 3 one an old RF 900 which is a fantastic bike too.
@@DylanGSXR I'm from the U.S. and should have been more specific in my comments. On the streets in the states they seem to be making a comeback.
@@2Wheel4Fun ah yes use are very lucky and I envy use 😁. I've got a 2021 Gsxr myself but it will be the last one unfortunately for us here 😭. Good luck 👍
I have an GSXR 750 K8 (2008), i just love this Bike. No tecnology (Like Abs, Anti-Wheelie,etc etc, only came with Engine modes A,B,C) , but the handling is amazing. It feels like you can push alot and still feel safe on her. The power is balanced (You can push alot and feel the Curves without exceeding the limit. And its an 750 that does 299Km/h (at least mine)
Great video! Very enjoyable. As a die hard GSXR fan I clicked on as soon as it appeared in my feed and had the bonus of you guys riding through my home town of Wilton. Been to Compton Abbas cafe many times, splendid cake and lovely views.
Good to hear 😁👍
I had a '58 GSXR thou and found everywhere I went it had to be quick for it to make sense. With my '21 1290 SDR it's more playful, comfortable and the nakedness of it stops me doing prolonged silly speeds because of the fatigue. The complete opposite of Greg's logic...not saying he's wrong.
I got a few bikes: Ducati 1199, factory Aprilia, Rocket, and GSXR1000. The GSXR is a great bike with plenty of character. The engine is superb. I also looked at the S1000 but opted for the gixer. Totally see where you’re coming from Gregorio.
I'm pretty sure that Suzuki is just taking a break while they develop a new Euro 5 compliant GSX-R1000. I highly doubt they will abandon their flagship Superbike altogether. GSXR enthusiasts need to put their pennies aside now because the new bike is coming in the next few years.
Let's hope so
There is a reason suzuki havent changed much on that bike since k5 if its really good why chhange it.
Long live the GSX-R! Top video as always, Chops.
Thanks Luke 😁👍
I have 2 GSXR 1000s, K3 and K5. Both are excellent motorcycles. Fun to ride, great performance, reliable, low maintenance, easy to work on, and inexpensive to insure. A+ on the fun factor!
Loved my Gixxer, regret selling it. Had Speed Triple RS and Streetfighter since then and still miss the Gixxer
The top end of GSXR 1000R is nuts vvt just blasts in top end
I have had 4 GSX-R 750's and loved them. Gad a few other bikes but always went back to the GSX-R 750.
I'm on my 4th GSX-R750 now, a 2023 model I just picked up. I also have a 2022 GSX-S1000 which is a brilliant bike as well.
Great bike I wouldn't mind a 750 now!
Frigging hell never mind that RSV4 being too much money that Breakfast you got was terrible for £8!!!! I'd be really pis**d off with that and I'd have to ask where the rest of it was!!?
Haha, it was a pilots cafe 🤑
You guys need to get on good adventure bikes as your daily's?
The real reason for the Suzuki is reliability.
I did exactly the same had a 2021 tuono loved it but just had an itch the needed scratching and bought a gsxr anniversary exactly the same as Gregy 😁. Glad you did this and Greg told his story as people have being saying I was mad to do it and I do miss the tuono as it's such a great bike. Gixxer all the way . 😂
Actually, the GSX-R is my favourite super bike, including the DUCATIS! Exhaust aside, I think it looks the best. With its MotoGP style livery and beautiful metallic blue. BMWs are a bit boring, the new Ducati isn’t as beautiful as the previous. I love Triumphs but their colour schemes are too conservative. GSX-R all the way you beauty
So sad the GSXR is no more such a shame. Greg is a Suzuki man with that Schwantz lid ❤️ it!
I felt exactly like you guys... I wanted an I4 to live with and a V4 for bonkers fun. I'm more into supernakeds, so I ended up with an S1000R Sport and Tuono 1100 Factory!
Nice, I love the way you guys report back about the bikes you ride, really good reporting and feed back………………..wheels have just lost a sale from me ( mr boring and agree with every manufacturer and dealer ………..tmf) is enough, so I won’t buy from wheels any longer or from superbike shop
Gixxers just do it all. If you've had one you know.
The nice thing about owning a gixxer is you just get to enjoy them. You don't feel bad about not washing it every time you ride it.
It works on the road, it works on the track, it feels great everywhere & they are cheap as chips. And you can't call them slow - most people are lying to themselves if they reckon they are quicker on something twice the price.
All GSXR 1000’s are great machines; I enjoy the purest ones tho: K1, 04 ZX10, Gen 1 ZX14. No TC, ABS or Power Modes. The only way to enjoy these bikes IMO.
Really annoying that Suzuki pulled the GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000 from the UK and yet still make them, rode the GSX-R750 for a month straight everyday many years ago as a courtesy bike as well as factory demo rides on the Suzuki event days with the GSX-R1000 (starts trying to pull your arms off if you want it to), also echo the no niggles, just good bikes.
Definitely agree with you Greg…..the s1000rr looks boring compared to the gsxr and lacks character …Suzuki looks so much better👍🏻
I think Kawasaki ZX6R, ZX636 or ZX10R is best for the road also.
💚
Whats your option on straight bars on the gsxr? Or are the clip ons comfortable enough for a mid fourty 6'3". Usually only out 2-3hrs twice a week on twisties
I might be alone here but I found my '17 RSV4 RF just as easy around town as an '04 GSXR600.
I still prefer the GSXR 750 for everything from a daily rider/commuter. Raised bars and slightly dropped pegs along with a pipe and freed up air box. With these mods and a set of saddlebags the 750 is super as an all around Bike with a super smooth engine, the legendary butter smooth gearbox and top speed capability’s of almost 180mph. Light, smooth, fast, nimble. What more does one need?
Sounds epic and I wouldn’t disagree. The 750 is a fantastic bike 👍
Someone please convince me a new gsxr1000 is better than a new zx10r, i know all the technical specs of each one but im looking for that special something in one of them, i currently own a zx6r and a mt09, the 636’s got that something
Gsxr 600 only motorcycle I ever had and no regrets nor do I want another .. no need for liter bike or any any other brand love Japanese made motorcycles they will last for ever..
Nice video Mr LCR. I think you’ll find your K8 1000 does in fact have electronics, it has three ride modes to choose from (A, B, and C) 😉
K5 K6 1000 owners, like myself, have the bragging rights of saying “no electronics” 😎
Haha very true 😁👍
Just noticed Gregoire has put this bike on autotrader. Ooh, I wonder what he's gonna get to replace it? 🤔
I found my paint was holding up better with fine scrathes an such compared to my r7 an both are new bikes so i think there plastics are just as good as any other 4 are.

Not mad Greg, its the time to start the collection of classics or future classics as they wont be around forever! 👍 With Suzuki stopping making the GSXR1000 get one and keep it, good investment for the future riders.
Also can anyone explain the number on the Handlebars mine says 5005? And I see their different
Been waiting on this one, always loved the ‘17 GSXR just a shame no cruise control and now it’s been cancelled, damages the Suzuki brand IMO.
Not enough is talked about Suzuki’s VVT system it’s just amazingly simple, Hopefully filters into the remaining models
Just for you! 😁👍
What a beautiful day for a ride. While the exhaust sounds are the perfect music for the trip.
Had my L8 since new & solely use on track now. As you know from riding with me its very capable with minimal spend needed
I’ve got an L8R model too. Mine’s got Maxton fork cartridges and a Maxton shock, ABS removed and Accossato CNC billet calipers with Accossato CNC billet master cylinder, Brembo HPK Supersport discs, Akrapovic Evolution Line Titanium exhaust with a custom remap, and a Bitubo steering damper. It’s pretty much perfect now, I’m never selling it 😊
I’ve also got a 1000 K4 that I haven’t ridden for 5 years. It’s been festering away at the back of the garage since I got the L8R.
@@flamintastynice spec, is that road or track bike u have
Is this the R1000R (RR) or the R1000 he bought?
The RR, the single R was dropped in the UK couple of years ago
I updated my 2015 S1000RR to a new RR this year. I well considered a GSX-R but cruise control and heated grips are just too difficult to give up, plus the Suzuki casio dash. The old GSX-R riders have migrated to BMW en masse here in Aus because the bikes just haven't been updated.
I still need to get my SMCR mapped. Looking forward to that video as I’m only a few miles away from Chris. I have the dna filter with dna open plate it’s a great mod. He won’t be disappointed.
I do have a powerparts seat with gel insert if Greg is interested I ended up getting a seat concepts.
More SMCR vids please!! 😊
Stay tunned for the mapping video then Dave 😁👍 should be very interesting
@@LambChopRides just rode mine after not riding it for a couple of months and the clutch is slipping…. ☹️
Hang onto the Suzuki! Who knows when/IF the dummies at Suzuki will ever open the legendary doors of the Gixxah again. I'm of the opinion a big twin/v4 is slightly better around town than the inline 4. I do love all 3 engine designs but around town, surely the twin/v4 and even triple have been more easily manipulated around town!
Modern day 06-07 CBR 1000rr
The Kawasaki ZX9r is clearly the best sports bike ever, but the gixxer is alright! 😁👍
Rc 30
🤣🤣🤣 Stop it. K6 1000 is the best sport bike ever
@@TrulyUniqueOne I wonder what bike you have! 🤔 🤣🤣
@@HalfdeadRider I've got a k2 & a k6 1000. Also had an 05 zx10r. Goof bike but looked and felt like it would fall apart. You can't beat suzukis
@@TrulyUniqueOne Nah! the Gen1 ZX10r's are great bikes, one of the best of the 10r's, definitely solid well built bikes.
I have got a video of me riding one of my mates '05 10r's, and the ZX9r is an awesome very underrated bike, was 20 years ago and still is, but just as quick and even quicker than some newer more powerful machines.
I do like the Suzuki's though, I was considering a K2 or K3 750.
Check this comment I recently got on my ZX9r review video though, I hear this kind of thing a lot :-
"Iv'e had all manner of sports bikes including four new GSXR's , ZX6's and dozens of others. Bought my first ZX9 C2 model about four years ago after selling my FZ8 and just fell in love with it, fantastic bike , wish I had bought them when they were new instead of others. Last august I bought a 5,600 mile F2P in standard mint condition and have to say it is THE best bike I have ever owned, even better than my 2011 GSXR 750 which I bought new and I really liked that."
F2P is a 2003 ZX9r, last one before the Gen1 ZX10r in '04, my ZX9r is a Y2k E1, beautiful beast of a machine.
Just got a message claiming to be from Chopsy. Asking me to respond on telegram. I didn't respond. He used Chopsys icon. Be careful folks scammers are everywhere.
Thanks lou, yes bloody Telegram scammers! 👍
Been back and forth with Tuonos, RS660, nakeds (have 890r) and BMW, street triples but yeah 20k, insane insurance costs on liter bikes and wind on naked bikes are brutal.....plus the fact they still sell these 750s in the states.....think the HP is perfect around 130 mark.....never ridden one but am considering just getting a GSXR 750
really wanted cruise control though and QS....
base model tuono may still be on radar but more and more the zook is good option....am sure aftermarket is huge on these as well
how tall is your brother in law im about to buy a gsxt1000 2022 model im 6 feet one and just worried it will be a touch small
He's 6'1 👍
I’d rather an R1 all day long to be honest
I found a way to cut through the UA-cam clutter. I only watch Lamb Chop videos. Two questions. How do you ride over there. Our golf cart paths are wider than your roads. Secondly, you keep mentioning that you're stoned. How can you do such a competent job if you're wasted? Thank you in advance!
