2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX Ride Review | The Best Sport Tourer?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- Suzuki's GSX S1000GX is their flagship sport-touring motorcycle that boasts semi-active suspension, Brembo brakes, 150 horsepower and the latest electronics, but is it any good? This is an in-depth first ride review where I put the big tall-rounder Suzuki through its paces in all weathers and really get to grips with its strengths and areas for consideration...

Fascinating--thanks for the review.
You bet!
BMR another great real world ride review, like yourself I’ve a soft spot for Suzuki’s, so uncomplicated, but very effective. Yes it might be a old engine design, but they have refined it over the years, I don’t hear anyone giving BMW a hard time about the boxer engine, and it’s a lot older in design. I hear what you’re saying about the Suzuki V twins, I’ve owned them all, they are so tractable, leave them in 3rd and negotiate any road turnings with car like impeccable fueling. Glad you liked the GSX, it’s one I would consider in the future, well done 👍
It's probably the most accomplished bike Suzuki have made. I'm spoiled for a low-end grunt with all of my bikes, so was bound to notice it under 3,000 RPM. Most folks though I think will not find this an issue, particularly if they’re used to inline fours and taking off with a little more in the way of revs on the dial.Thanks for the feedback, this is certainly a bike to consider.Cheers.
Excellent review BMR. You really have me wishing I'd showed up for their Suzuki ride day. Would love to try out the semi-active suspension. Nice job, thx.
Thanks, sludgy! Yeah, semi-active suspension is a whole new dimension.
Nobody does blue/white color combos better than Suzuki. Such a beautiful bike. Also, were you able to sit more upright than the vstrom?!
Yes more upright, no risers needed...
I was really looking forward to this bike but was sorely disappointed w/the MSRP and the lack of an adjustable windscreen.
Yeah it really should cost 3 to 4k max. I mean 25k for a pos bmw or Chinese sourced ktm? Bring it on. Paying a premium bike from a jap brand? Unacceptable, gotta have them almost free.
I think you nailed one of the issues this bike has.For starters it's a great bike, but it would be more complete with an adjustable windshield, even one as basic as on the Vstrom 1050, a center stand, and heated grips as standard. I think the price is reasonable given the spec and quality of the bike having ridden it, the problem is it's a Suzuki and we all have preconceptions that Suzuki's are well made but often cheaper than other brands. I guess as their Flagship model, they feel Justified breaking the $20,000 Canadian barrier. But for that you can get a V100 with semi-active suspension and I suspect in the future the Stelvio With semi active suspension as well.
Bmr, nice to get your impressions on this new beast. Quite a good short test weather-wise! Do you find, riding such a plush and capable bike, that you lose some of the visceral joy of motorcycling? Just curious.
Great question. Certainly it's not as visceral as my z900rs or anywhere near as characterful as the Griso, but it's a lot more exciting than a Vstrom If you want it to be. It does have character when you wind it up. It's light enough that it feels quite sporty; in fact, it's definitely on the sportier end of sport touring, although it's incredibly versatile with that semi-active adjustable on the fly suspension - you can literally make it feel like anything from a plush Goldwing to a capable litre bike. Personally, if I wanted the semi-active suspension, I would give the Moto Guzzi V100 a go before deciding. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Cheers
Have the gx+ it's excellent..come from a 1290 super adventure ktm..ktm engine has immediate power, the suzuki needs to be up the rev range..
Other than that, the suzuki is better..
Good to know, thanks!
It's a K5 engine not a K4. They've put the K5 engine in everything.
Thanks, you are right - I misspoke. Nice engine, but not quite up to the spec in the low/mid range of the modern inline four cylinders that are dialed in for more lower and mid-range power. I was getting left under 5,000 RPM easily by the vstrom 800 until legal speeds, when the K5 just came into its own.
