Very well said on your review. I have the 2016 GSX1000SFA touring edition. Put a full aftermarket exhaust and ECU remap done. Much better. Top marks for this review!
I’ve had one two years and I’m an experienced brisk rider , other than weight loss I can see no point in changing stock exhaust! In my opinion it looks good and sounds great !!! Good video on a very underrated bike , my mates on S100 RR can’t keep up most of the time 👍
Great to hear it. To be honest, if they can update the dash to the one from the GT, I'd go buy one myself. It's a brilliant bike and will also be more than capable on track. They should also carry over the electronic suspension from the new 1000 GX as an option, that would be awesome. Yeah, for standard, the exhaust is decent enough really, although I always like to change to something with a bit of a rip to it, but to each their own. The bikes also pretty easy to ride and certainly all day comfy for me. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍😎
@@sbrides3042 well... Having had first hand experience recently with the Maxton upgrade on the VFR, id recommend them, but then they're local to me here in the UK. My mate also had maxton rear shock and front cartridges on his Gsxs1000F (back when I did the Gsxs 750 track video at Silverstone), and he also highly rated them. Anyone of high quality that's local I'd recommend really. K-Tech too, although price wise they're up there with ohlins too. I'm a bit sad and consider spring colours etc too for aesthetics, but has to really come down to price and quality.
Great video. Went to Cupar Motorcycles today and test rode the GSX-S 1000. Loved every minute on it so I bought a black one. Roll on the end of the month.
Happy days! Yeah, it's a great bike, it really is. It's def on my shopping list for the future. Thanks for the support and for watching! 😁😎 And Enjoy the new wheels! 😁😎👌
@@waynegarland6873 nice one! Yeah, planning on getting the gsxr in there once the weather and roads are little better... Not long now though! 😁. Yeah, they're a great bunch there and the remap/fueling was perfect.
I have the old one and if I was able to I would probably get a new one. Just have to convince the wife. Greeting from south Australia. Great review Mate.
Ah nice one! . Yeah, if I had my time machine I'd probably go back to my 1000F and just fettle that instead, but hey... We Live and learn! But then, I wouldn't have had the S1000R either! - Reaching out to Australia now!? Nice!! Thanks for your comments and for watching! 😁👌🇦🇺
Yes I agree! Both very similar but also different, just depends how you want your cake sliced! or if you like your bikes a bit more involving to ride, but the 750 is plenty performance for road use as it is. You can use more of it, more of the time. Thanks for watching!
Ive had mainly suzukis over the years , They are the casio gshock of bikes , Not the most premium but the best bang for buck , very hardy , low running costs, just VFM quality for my purpose in real world needs , Im not looking for a dick swinging competition on paper or track but like the grin factor / value and just what i need and not what i dont.
Yeah, had loads of suzukis over the years and totally agree. Uber reliable and they just do what they need to. Never had a problem with a single one. thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks! Yeah, thats funny, a good friend of mine has already said the very same thing! 😂. I did say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" its a grower, not a show-er... 😂
@@GS_Trophy yeah… this looks infinitely better than the outgoing. Front has the same angle as the SDR - I really don’t get what people have wrong with it. It’s literally what KTM make but with an S on it 😂
It’s probably because they don’t own one. Most people hate on stuff that isn’t theirs. But when they get one “oh, i love everything about it”. I love the new MT-10sp. All the previous model owners “hate it”😂🙄
I was like these roads look familiar, its amazing how all the roads in the UK look the so similar.. then later on you say, im going to Cupar - yeah that explains it, its the same road I used to drive on hahaha.
It's a good road but always busy. Best way to get a decent test ride would be to have it for a day two really when you're not watching our restricted by the time... But, I think when you click with a bike and "you know" it normally happens within the first 10-20 miles.
I know I'm a bit late on the comments, but I've got the 2018 version which I really love and suits me great .After seeing the looks of the 2021 I was in two mind's whether to trade mine in for the newer model but decided to hold back. Moving forward 6 months suzuki has brought out a limited edition SERT edition (suzuki endurance racing team) and the graphics have completely transformed the looks .Deal is now done and I should be picking it up in the new year. Great review and thanks for sharing your feedback on this machine 👍 😀
Nice one Dean, yeah I've seen that! Looks amazing! That's the wrap done by Sublime Designs isn't it? Love it, totally transformed! It's a cracking road bike! Still tempted myself but currently waiting on something else for now...(as an addition to the stable)
@@twistandgo3414 I didn't know about sublime graphics....that's worth knowing for future projects. Apparently the graphics done on this machine have come from France......not sure of the company? But they've done an awesome job, they've also put the the graphic signatures of the three rider's on the tank as a special touch.
Yeah, my 2018 F Model was still a good bike, but had a few niggles that pushed me in to changing it for something else. In hindsight, could have spent some money on improving it but then i took the decision to go with the S1000R. instead. That was a great bike, but... lacked a bit of soul and character - So good was a bit sanitised.
That’s right it’s perfect it’s not that expensive for the bike it is and just to take it out every now and then it’s perfect and if you happen to drop it it happens well it’s not too bad
I am struck by how good the exhaust note is compared to the new BMW S1000r. I thought Euro 5 regs might have killed off some rowdy exhaust notes somewhat, but this sounds fantastic.
Yeah, I was surprised too, the old one wasn't bad either, but it is noticeably a little more cheeky. Will sound immense once a full system is on there! Thanks for watching.
Good review, I would only upgrade my 750 to this one if there is a touring windshield( Puig) for it!!! These bigger engine naked bike are only good if you can make them sport touring( Touring Windshield and Handlebar risers), they are over kill for street and no good for faster roads because of wind. I almost sold my brand new GSX S750 because it was so uncomfortable, no wind protection and too much lean over, the mods save it.
Yeah, I did a 750 comparison video after this. This new Gsxs has serious potential to live in my garage, just depends what happens with the tourer that's due imminently. With more track days on the horizon, that bit more power down the straights would be good but doesn't detract from what is still a very good bike for all round road use, touring etc.. With the tourer due, it could be very very popular. Can't wait. Thanks for watching! 😁
Nice vid & review. I like it & it's exactly what I'd be after for a road going naked. Genuinely don't want 175 - 200bhp, 15-20k supernaked on the road & to be totally honest, I couldn't justify spending that much anyway. Also waiting to see if they do a similar update to the 750 as like you say, it's more using a smaller engine & so that might be more appealing to me personally.
Yeah. Exactly! More to come on that actually, have a bit more footage for a quick 1000 vs 750 comparison. if it works out OK, I'll post it. Silverstone coming up too so be interesting to see how it copes on track with other gsxs 1000's. I'm waiting for the F model to come out and use mine a bit more to see where my head is at. The F model I could be really tempted by but a 750 upgrade would also be worth waiting for! - Thanks for watching! 😁
@@twistandgo3414 Sounds good. Looking forward to it & yes a decent F version could be a great one bike do everything solution. I guess it will depend how much better is it than the previous F. Fingers crossed it's a corker & so's the updated 750! Enjoyed this & your 'Busa review so just subscribed.
@@ragerider6283 ah nice one! Yeah, bought another bike after the busa video, just not done a video on that yet either..more content than time allows at the minute! 😂
@@TheCdubbleyoo a 750 GT? Hmm can't see that happening, but you never know, suzuki don't really have a middle weight sport to match the ninja 650,so they could.. But doubt it without a major update for Euro emissions etc.. We can but hope!
Good review. I'd have kept the red and black F you owned before, had it remapped and had Maxton rework the suspension for your weight. I much prefer the look of that bike. Wisdom after the event stuff, no disrespect intended. May I ask if you can recall if it had a less busy top gear ? This new bike is very low geared, only 70 MPH at 5,000 RPM in top gear.
Thanks! 😊- yeah, prob should have done! Given where i am now on the gsxr having gone via BMW S1000R route etc, but hey.. Don't really regret it. Yes, I would maybe say that the NEW S is a bit more eager in top gear than my old F was, but its definitely better to ride though. The tune of the rear shock is much improved from my F where adjustment for me, made no difference at all and the brakes are better and throttle response is how it should have been. For me the new S in B mode is how the old F should have been. In 'A' mode I felt it was a bit too eager on the road unless you were going for it. Will be getting a test ride on the new GT this year so will be great to get a comparison . Thanks for watching!
Great ride, did you change the 750 out? I test rode the 750 multiple times and then bought a 8S. Lower top end but grunty for every day riding. Now wondering whether I should have gone for the big brother... Thoughts?
Yeah, I was very, very tempted. I would have bought the 1000S of it wasn't for picking up track days again, so went with a 23' 765RS. Was a tough call but it's better spec'd for track use out of the crate... Read the only reason for going with the 765 over a 1000's. It's like the 750 was but on steroids. Also 27kg lighter and comparatively 24bhp more at the wheel after tuning. Thanks for watching. The 8S looks like a great bike! If I didn't have the 765, I'd would have been tempted by the 8R!
Yeah, bars are 23mm wider and suspension is relatively the same with revised settings. It's much better as a package than the old one to ride though in my opinion. More playful, more fun. Whatever they have done to the suspension the rear shock is vastly improved compared to the old one as changing the settings on that did nothing of notable improvement for me. Still a good bike though.
@@twistandgo3414 yeah I have the rebound a 1/4 out to do anything. Some unwind the pre to get more movement but its problem is really too weak a spring and overly compression damping.
@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou yeah, friend of mine has maxton shock and front cartridges on his 1000F, said its a like night and day difference, he's well happy. Not a cheap mod though!
@@twistandgo3414 Nitron nr1 transforms it according to to mr Moss. One thing leads to another, where do you stop. Oem tyres and tweaked standard suspension and only 6mm chick strips. Not bad for an ex HD rider of many years.
Nice man. Just saw the video, have not watched it yet. I have been waiting for this one. I am in the same situation and considering the new GSX S1000, CB1000r black edition and the mt 10. Although I like the looks of the Honda, don’t like it that there is less power. MT10 is okay looking but I am afraid the suspension is not of good quality. My first choice would be the new GSX S1000 with the new electronics and quick shifter and beautiful engine.
Yeah, I think you're buying the MT10 for the noise in itself, it's a good bike but would say this new GSXS is a better package without the fueling issues. Plus, 2 litre bigger fuel tank, so unless you're caught up on cruise control, for £11k, it's one hell of a package. Looks to me that with the bolt on sub frame, could be ideal for Suzuki to fit a reinforced and longer version for taking luggage and providing a bigger pillion pad!
Good review. Did you say you had a GSXr1000r? I can’t decide between that bike and this. Can the GSXs1000 handle like the other Supernakeds or is that 214kg wet weight a bit porky?
Yeah, Gsxr1000R covered on the channel. Gsxs doesnt have the same road presence or stability at high speed the gsxr does obviously but its the better all round road bike and obviously comfier! Love the gsxr but alot of the performance is wasted on the road, just depends what you want to do with it. As a track bike though, its phenomenal! The gsxs is no slouch though! It's ultimately down on power compared to the superduke and Tuono RSV4 obviously but I don't think that makes it less of a road bike or a bargain! Could fit some real tasty upgrades with the difference in price! And it will be easier to get parts for and service!
@@twistandgo3414 thanks heaps mate. 151hp is plenty of power but my big gripe is the weight. If I can drop 14kg with an exhaust system and battery it’ll be an easy decision. I need to do a bit more research about weight. I have a ZX14r now, would be a perfect bike if it was lighter. I don’t want to make that mistake again
@@ashdivakaran9664 Don't think the full exhaust is going to gain you a 14kg saving, but that along with the battery and removing the ABS and ABS pump would be close to it I suspect.
I just think it’s perfect for the road and I like to four-cylinder I do I know the threes ladder I love the sound of the four I like to 3 I just like to rise the four-cylinder
Lol 750 angry teen ha ha mine has full decat pipe lextek exhaust and filter no power commander and hasnt been mapped still moves quick. Mine is a bit jerky throttle wise. Did your remap sort it out on yours ?
Yeah, my Pc5 came pre loaded with an open pipe map and after market filter tune,. There's a separate video on the channel of that, but now it's been custom tuned on the dyno, it's night and day better than it was by comparison. Just wants to go now! Doesn't sound like a pop corn machine now either, get the odd pop on the over run, like any bike but it's nothing like it was.
@@twistandgo3414 yeah I watched your vid on it mines is now working fine stripped it down used some valve cleaner seems to be okay 🤞still taking it to cupar tho. Yeah mine pops when I let off in 3rd love it ha ha
@@twistandgo3414 is it 20 plate 750? Did it have the tail tidy and exhaust on as extras. Mine came with all the bits and pieces as you know you tried mine as it was the ex demo from suzuki Aberdeen. Would have enjoyed seeing footage of you test riding mine .
I've had mine for a bit now. The only to weak spots for me are lack of cruise control that the GT has... having it on previous bike really spoils you. And the display is absolute rubbish. I mean, REALLY bad. So hard to see with sunglasses or a tinted shield unless the sun is right on it.
Yeah. It definitely needs the display updated with the unit off the GT or even the new GSX8S for that matter! If they did that, i'd have bought one myself, but couldn't live with it as it is, which is a real shame as I really liked the rest of the bike as a package.
Yeah that's right. New T suffix replaces the outgoing F. That wasnt confirmed and only barely known about by the dealer when I had the test ride. Should be good though! Thanks for watching!
Hey mate. I have asked cupar for a test ride of this apparently it's no longer with the dealership and I will need to pay £5 for a loan bike while mine is getting checked over or £80 to hire a bike . Did you book or just a test ride?
Booked it ahead of time. It was a suzuki press bike, they said it wasn't going to be there long so jumped at it and I didn't ask how long for. Likely have one of these or the new F when it arrives, but waiting to see what the luggage options are on it first. Rumour has it, new F is coming with luggage...
@@twistandgo3414 ahh right okay guess I'm stuck with what ever they're leaning me prob be the sv650 I assume. They're doing test drives ? Might even pop to Kawasaki in kirkcaldy want to get the s1000rr they've got or the z1000
@@MadNath if you haven't ridden one, the SV650 can be a riot to ride! They maybe sold the Gsxs im not sure as they said it was due to be there a while...maybe something came up or "a while" is only a couple of weeks?...def worth it if you can get one. Much better than the old model and more fun and engaging to ride.
@@twistandgo3414 nope never tried the sv650 looks to baire for my liking not really been on a full sport bike I.e gsxr ect and never tried a 1000 only ever been 600 or 750. My first legal bike was a grom. I'm still a young man of 29 year. But I have been riding since i was 15.
Sorry, do you mean 2018 Gsxs1000 vs 2021? Or the new 1000 vs the 750? The New 2021 Gsxs1000 has a touch more power, led lights all round, bi directional quick shifter, blipper, different dash, retuned suspension, different sub frame, newer exhaust system and wider bars.
@@korazon3spinado yeah the 750 will easy do it no problem, fine over 500 miles in a day on mine, it gets a bad rap for the comfort of the seat, but it gets better with mileage. Lot of people get a custom seat job done on it or you could fit an air hawk seat or similar.. I found it ok after the first 600 miles of use.
@@korazon3spinado the seat on the 1000 is more comfy. 750 is obviously a bit busier by comparison and the bike feels more buzzy and sporty, new Gsxs1000 is definitely more relaxing to ride though.. Depends what you want and how you like to ride. 750 is more involving but not as grown up or lazy.
Turn your volume down, It works both ways 😂😜😉. Thanks for watching and for the comments. 😎. Yeah, overlay of the music was a touch too loud on this one.. But hey..
😂 Yeah, hey it is what it is... I guess they're entitled to use the road too, albeit minus paying road tax and insurance which is a contentious subject! 😂😂
Very well said on your review. I have the 2016 GSX1000SFA touring edition. Put a full aftermarket exhaust and ECU remap done. Much better. Top marks for this review!
Thanks for watching and for the comments. 😁👍👌
It's a much better looking bike than the previous model Chris. I do like the new headlight. 750 version is bound to get the same makeover.
Either that or they drop it due to the 950. Great bike to ride. More playful than the old one.. Serious next bike potential!
I’ve had one two years and I’m an experienced brisk rider , other than weight loss I can see no point in changing stock exhaust! In my opinion it looks good and sounds great !!! Good video on a very underrated bike , my mates on S100 RR can’t keep up most of the time 👍

Also 27kg lighter and comparatively 24bhp more at the wheel after tuning. Thanks for watching. The 8S looks like a great bike! If I didn't have the 765, I'd would have been tempted by the 8R!
Il be down soon and will be taking the same route to st.andrews to brewdog for breakfast. 🤣
I asked Suzy GB, they said yes the riding position is changed but same suspension no changes
Yeah, bars are 23mm wider and suspension is relatively the same with revised settings. It's much better as a package than the old one to ride though in my opinion. More playful, more fun. Whatever they have done to the suspension the rear shock is vastly improved compared to the old one as changing the settings on that did nothing of notable improvement for me. Still a good bike though.
@@twistandgo3414 yeah I have the rebound a 1/4 out to do anything. Some unwind the pre to get more movement but its problem is really too weak a spring and overly compression damping.
@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou yeah, friend of mine has maxton shock and front cartridges on his 1000F, said its a like night and day difference, he's well happy. Not a cheap mod though!
@@twistandgo3414 Nitron nr1 transforms it according to to mr Moss. One thing leads to another, where do you stop. Oem tyres and tweaked standard suspension and only 6mm chick strips. Not bad for an ex HD rider of many years.
Nice man. Just saw the video, have not watched it yet. I have been waiting for this one. I am in the same situation and considering the new GSX S1000, CB1000r black edition and the mt 10. Although I like the looks of the Honda, don’t like it that there is less power. MT10 is okay looking but I am afraid the suspension is not of good quality. My first choice would be the new GSX S1000 with the new electronics and quick shifter and beautiful engine.
Yeah, I think you're buying the MT10 for the noise in itself, it's a good bike but would say this new GSXS is a better package without the fueling issues. Plus, 2 litre bigger fuel tank, so unless you're caught up on cruise control, for £11k, it's one hell of a package. Looks to me that with the bolt on sub frame, could be ideal for Suzuki to fit a reinforced and longer version for taking luggage and providing a bigger pillion pad!
Good review. Did you say you had a GSXr1000r? I can’t decide between that bike and this. Can the GSXs1000 handle like the other Supernakeds or is that 214kg wet weight a bit porky?
Yeah, Gsxr1000R covered on the channel. Gsxs doesnt have the same road presence or stability at high speed the gsxr does obviously but its the better all round road bike and obviously comfier!
Love the gsxr but alot of the performance is wasted on the road, just depends what you want to do with it. As a track bike though, its phenomenal!
The gsxs is no slouch though! It's ultimately down on power compared to the superduke and Tuono RSV4 obviously but I don't think that makes it less of a road bike or a bargain! Could fit some real tasty upgrades with the difference in price! And it will be easier to get parts for and service!
@@twistandgo3414 thanks heaps mate. 151hp is plenty of power but my big gripe is the weight. If I can drop 14kg with an exhaust system and battery it’ll be an easy decision. I need to do a bit more research about weight.
I have a ZX14r now, would be a perfect bike if it was lighter. I don’t want to make that mistake again
@@ashdivakaran9664 Don't think the full exhaust is going to gain you a 14kg saving, but that along with the battery and removing the ABS and ABS pump would be close to it I suspect.
I just think it’s perfect for the road and I like to four-cylinder I do I know the threes ladder I love the sound of the four I like to 3 I just like to rise the four-cylinder
I have 2021 black
Very nice!! I think the good forks really set it off. I'm not sure im convinced that the GT looks as good in black compared to the naked though.
Lol 750 angry teen ha ha mine has full decat pipe lextek exhaust and filter no power commander and hasnt been mapped still moves quick. Mine is a bit jerky throttle wise. Did your remap sort it out on yours ?
Never had an issue with wheelies on the 750 I can see it be entertaining when I take it for a spin am a bit heavy handed.
Yeah, my Pc5 came pre loaded with an open pipe map and after market filter tune,. There's a separate video on the channel of that, but now it's been custom tuned on the dyno, it's night and day better than it was by comparison. Just wants to go now! Doesn't sound like a pop corn machine now either, get the odd pop on the over run, like any bike but it's nothing like it was.
@@twistandgo3414 yeah I watched your vid on it mines is now working fine stripped it down used some valve cleaner seems to be okay 🤞still taking it to cupar tho.
Yeah mine pops when I let off in 3rd love it ha ha
@@MadNath chop it in for a new one! They have that new black, silver and blue scheme in there, it's lovely!
@@twistandgo3414 is it 20 plate 750? Did it have the tail tidy and exhaust on as extras. Mine came with all the bits and pieces as you know you tried mine as it was the ex demo from suzuki Aberdeen.
Would have enjoyed seeing footage of you test riding mine .
I've had mine for a bit now. The only to weak spots for me are lack of cruise control that the GT has... having it on previous bike really spoils you. And the display is absolute rubbish. I mean, REALLY bad. So hard to see with sunglasses or a tinted shield unless the sun is right on it.
Yeah. It definitely needs the display updated with the unit off the GT or even the new GSX8S for that matter! If they did that, i'd have bought one myself, but couldn't live with it as it is, which is a real shame as I really liked the rest of the bike as a package.
No F version but there will be a T version
Yeah that's right. New T suffix replaces the outgoing F. That wasnt confirmed and only barely known about by the dealer when I had the test ride. Should be good though! Thanks for watching!
Hey mate. I have asked cupar for a test ride of this apparently it's no longer with the dealership and I will need to pay £5 for a loan bike while mine is getting checked over or £80 to hire a bike .
Did you book or just a test ride?
Booked it ahead of time. It was a suzuki press bike, they said it wasn't going to be there long so jumped at it and I didn't ask how long for. Likely have one of these or the new F when it arrives, but waiting to see what the luggage options are on it first. Rumour has it, new F is coming with luggage...
@@twistandgo3414 ahh right okay guess I'm stuck with what ever they're leaning me prob be the sv650 I assume. They're doing test drives ? Might even pop to Kawasaki in kirkcaldy want to get the s1000rr they've got or the z1000
@@MadNath if you haven't ridden one, the SV650 can be a riot to ride! They maybe sold the Gsxs im not sure as they said it was due to be there a while...maybe something came up or "a while" is only a couple of weeks?...def worth it if you can get one. Much better than the old model and more fun and engaging to ride.
@@twistandgo3414 nope never tried the sv650 looks to baire for my liking not really been on a full sport bike I.e gsxr ect and never tried a 1000 only ever been 600 or 750. My first legal bike was a grom. I'm still a young man of 29 year. But I have been riding since i was 15.
Aren't these bikes about the same except for the power difference?
Sorry, do you mean 2018 Gsxs1000 vs 2021? Or the new 1000 vs the 750?
The New 2021 Gsxs1000 has a touch more power, led lights all round, bi directional quick shifter, blipper, different dash, retuned suspension, different sub frame, newer exhaust system and wider bars.
I guess I mean the old 1000. I'm thinking the 750 might be ok as a tourer with a windshield and a rack on the back.
Same with the 1000
@@korazon3spinado yeah the 750 will easy do it no problem, fine over 500 miles in a day on mine, it gets a bad rap for the comfort of the seat, but it gets better with mileage. Lot of people get a custom seat job done on it or you could fit an air hawk seat or similar.. I found it ok after the first 600 miles of use.
@@korazon3spinado the seat on the 1000 is more comfy. 750 is obviously a bit busier by comparison and the bike feels more buzzy and sporty, new Gsxs1000 is definitely more relaxing to ride though.. Depends what you want and how you like to ride. 750 is more involving but not as grown up or lazy.
Have you Bought 1 yet?

music's too damn loud mate
Turn your volume down, It works both ways 😂😜😉. Thanks for watching and for the comments. 😎. Yeah, overlay of the music was a touch too loud on this one.. But hey..
Bloody group cycling. And i am a cyclist.
😂 Yeah, hey it is what it is... I guess they're entitled to use the road too, albeit minus paying road tax and insurance which is a contentious subject! 😂😂
