Such a heavily underrated bike.
I had the 2016 gsxs, awesome bike for the $ bulletproof reliability, easy to service, good build quality and that k5 motor. Never had a problem with the throttle but did add a Nitron shock and better bars, ebc hh+ pads. I looked at the mt01/S1000r but liked the fact the Suzuki was simple with little to no electronics.
I used to have a B-King for all those reasons.
Sounds sorted and all manner of fun.
Personally I prefer the K5 motor rather than the current vvt engine. I've had both L7 GSXR1000 and the current Katana, the L7 vvt engine is brilliant on power and narrower in size as a result of removing the balance shaft, but there is a lot of engine vibration and you can feel it on the handle bar. On the other hand, the K5 motor maybe 50hp less but the power delivery is super smooth and the intake howl sounds absolutely beautiful, and I think for most of the riders out there 150hp is more than enough😉
My gsxr1000R Have vibration in footrest , in handle can feel little bit .
@@goldenmaxvael8709 yeah but take your lady friend on one ride and next thing you know she wants to go all the time :) when they collapse onto your back while going down the road they’ve had “a moment” and are “growing quite attached to your bike”
Thank you for posting. Time for Suzuki to bring back the TLS as a supernaked to compete with the bigger boys?
I've owned a 97 tls for 11 years now, absolutely love it. If Suzuki made a new big v twin I'd definitely be interested. 👍
Yesssss. Put out a 1200cc 90° Vtwin with gear driven cams, high compression, and a ton of power. TL1200S, or SV1200S whatever you want to call it.
For the money it's a great machine and sounds awesome in standard trim too. I've got the previous model which has been bullet proof with that tried and tested K5 engine. Looks like I could be investing in this latest incarnation. 👍😊
Great honest review as always Chopsie 👏 😊
My stomping ground that Chops! I was actually on some of those roads yesterday. Great video as always!
Really pleased to watch this review. You really captured the value you get with this bike, a fact often overlooked on tests and shootouts.
Great video chopsie, you were riding my local roads there. Awesome to see someone else enjoying them, shame the rain spoiled it though.
A good review chops, And you managed to avoid rocks going in the radiator.
Always a bonus! 😁
I definitely enjoy your reviews and videography. Great work!
Great video as usual Chopsy, going show this to my dad as he's toying with the idea of getting a new bike instead of nicking mine on nice days 😂 always nice to turn up to my folks and find the garage empty!
Great review. Updated it enough to keep it interesting and relevant at that price point. Good all around bike with a solid but aging engine. Suzuki sticking with the tried and true k5. Budget bike for the price conscious that definitely provides solid performance with Suzuki reliability.
Great review Chops. Technically the most detailed I've watched so far, but most of all your enthusiasm for the bike really shines through. Like yourself I'm a larger gentleman...... how was it for leg room?
Thanks Bobby, yes leg room is one of the best of the super nakeds! Much better than Tuono and slightly better than S1000R I would say.. but close to the R
G'day Mr Chops. A very good video, with all the boxes ticked, I've had quite a few Suzuki's and the
transmissions are superb, no false neutrals just snick each gear and go. They didn't need a Quick
Shifter. This is a really good bike for the money.
Nice review!
In denmark the price diff from this to s1000r is 6900£ - so I will be taking this every day.
But it will be so hard to let go of my VFR - the riding position, the V4 engine - there is no equivalent to that 🥰
Thanks for the great review, you addressed all the question I had. Cheers :)
I Didn't know Kate was in to skatting 😂 cracking video chops
Looks good! I think you'll get a lot of people who are interested in the mt09sp considering this for the price. Also people who can't stretch to an s1000r sport, this is a good competitor to the base BMW.
definitely pal...tried both and going for the gsxs...if it ever arrives!
Great review as always mr chops ! 🤯 now I’m in a pickle !! Hard decisions to be made but you do make a good case for this cracking machine .
Hello LCR brilliant as always! John Reynolds what a legend! Keep doing what you do! Top stuff!
Thanks buddy 👍
Awesome review, keep it up chopsy! 👍
Wow! Listen to that thing when twisting the grip. Growls.
Waiting for the road ride video of this and the new mt 09 sp and the new speed triple 1200 rs.
Yes sounds brilliant! 👌
Great video Chopsy. What bike will you prefer to ride on the road , the new Suzuki or the new Triumph Speed Triple 1200 ?
Chops .. great review as always 🤙 quality .. felt like I was on the bike myself 👌
Thanks Kev 👍
Nice one Chopsy, thanks. I once flew to Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. I drove out the airport and the first sign I saw said "The North"! 👍
Haha brilliant 👏
Actually most excited about this out of all the new super nakeds.
That price tag alone makes me overlook any on paper deficiency to its rivals.
(I just wish Suzuki dealers in Oz were as good as the BMW ones are)
Had the 2018 'F' model myself and everything that bugged me about that bike sounds like they have sorted, although still using the same shock? Hmm.. Test ride booked, so will see what it's like. More fun than my Gixus 750 though as a package? hmm, Remains to be seen. 😁. Great honest review as always! 👍👌
Good job Suzuki.
The GSX-S have really looked a bit long in the tooth the last couple of years - the design basically debuted with the GSR 750 back in 2011.
This is looking fresh and properly modern.
Hopefully the 750 will follow suit.
I still think the older GSXS1000F looks amazing!
@@professorvoluck9311 Angry birds face.
Welcome to my back yard you should ride up here more often there is some cracking roads and scenery oh and good review 👍
Does anyone else have the exit tune in their head all day, and don’t mind it?
Great review Sir, Thanks 🍻
Haha I do 😆
Nice review, Suzies are very underrated. Even better value for a well looked after second hand model?
Nice review Chopsy 👍 made me laugh at 0:15 hanging off the bike while it’s upright well nearly 😂 understand for the camera and we’re following a vehicle 🚗 👍 bet you were thinking go on camera car too slow 😂👍
Haha you got it 😆
Slaughtered Lamb Chopsy! That was the name in American Werewolf in London! Love this video, the moors are great!
Thanks Mech 👍
Still great value. Looking forward to test riding.
Thanks for review!! Just question, what better ,this Suzuki or Honda cb1000r 2018 ? Thanks recommended to which would you take?!
Nice one Chopsey luv this bike have they also updated the 750 too . I notice you changed your Knox Exo's for the road ride would you say they are more for track than road for any reason as I plan to get a pair of Exo's this year . Cheers : D
Only reason I changed was I knew the rain was coming, the Covert gloves are waterproof 😁
a great value bike thanks for sharing 👍..
Look forward to your next meet up with UNK vlog, keep the cameras running at all times to capture the slap she gives you 👍😂😂😂
That was just Lovelllyyyy🤩
I completely got you when you said, 'I have a soft-spot for Suzuki'
Me too, I have a DRZ and used to have a GSX-R 600, they just have a certain character about them, hard to explain and they're so well priced.
The exotica is great, but most of us won't be able to afford or get the best out of one - nowhere near!
Also like what you said about TFT screens - WHO CARES!!! I go out for 6hrs on my bike and barely ever look at the screen. All this chat about TFT screens is bollocks lol. It's about the RIDE not the technology, leave that for the iPhone zombies 🤣
P.s. Actually considering one of these for my next bike - colour is great too, another Suzuki quality!
Remap sorts the snatch and so much more and this will still benefit from a remap.
The new MT-09 has the small TFT screen. MT-07 and MT-10 are still LCD. All lovely bikes, and I’d happily own any of them, but for the money I still think this GSX-S1000 is very difficult to beat as a package. I was thinking Tuono 660 but the Suzuzki is nearly the same price and you get so much more, and it’s a more refined bike. The Tuono 1100, though, is a whole other conversation.
Excellent video Chopsy, can you turn the tc off?
Oh yes
Chops I know different class but for the road would you have the Street triple RS or the GSXS1000? Which would be more fun as a road bike in your opinion
I’ve noticed that this and the S1000R don’t have radial brake master cylinder, you would think it would be standard.
Great review, best I've seen of this launch by a mile including the publications. Seems like a great value road bike, I really like it for the money. I wonder what they'll do with the Katana?
Thanks RR, like to keep the review based on the bike if possible 👍
No Katana news
Keep selling it to people who want an 80’s retrofuturism vaporwave bike. I want one.
What I've heard from here in Australia is Suzuki planned to make 4000 units of the Katana only, once they're gone they're gone. Ps there are only 160 units in Australia and mine is #9
@@juniormin3454 Very interesting cheers. That suggests they're not even going to bother with trying to meet euro 5 etc. I guess a limited run makes it cooler but I'm presuming it's not sold that well.
where do you get your background music from chops?
Excellent vid chops. I wonder if they will update the Katana like they did to this one even though the Katana is not a big seller for Suzuki. If they do then a larger fuel tank is a must. I don't like those new headlights on this new version though. This seems to be a thing with many new bikes recently. Anyway take care mate and I look forward to your take on the new Triumph Speed Triple.
Next week the Trumpet arrives 😁
That hill climb course looks like a hoot and great circuit to work on skills. Imagine your SMC-R would be incredible in that tight stuff.
It was fantastic and would love to take the SMCR up there!
Or a well set up Ninja 400.
Great review. 👍
Great video john 👍
Two words. Simply Awesome! 👍😎🇦🇺
We can't test ride any bikes here. I'm keen on a 2021 MT09 but a bit partial to Suzuki too. I mainly ride around town but love noise and power. I'm not a super hoon, i like smooth and fast sometimes. Budget is always a concern so i can't stomach the more expensive naked bikes. Which one do you think?
Would you choose this bike over the ktm 690 smc r for a 2nd bike?
Morning from PNW ,great review Chopsy🏍 god I miss English roads ,the place is full of harleys get in the way. 🥸
Welcome to Yorkshire chops, I'm sure mossy would have said your not in the North yet 👍
17:55 The Game of thrones reference 😉
Great Vid Chops 👏🏻
Glad you appreciated it 😁
I've been recently watching a few videos on this bike... It is def on my shortlist to replace my Gixer... Shame Triumph have not properly sorted the paint on the Speed Triple, else I'd probably be looking to get one of them! 🙂
It's a great value all rounder Pete have to agree 👍
Is it the same engine and how does it compare to the Katana?
Please do a review of MT-09 💗 2021 version .
So... Still no steering damper?
The two biggest shortcomings were the cheap rear shock and a missing steering damper.
So they took the new sv650 fairing and slung it on a bigger block?
Looks like a fun, and good value bike again from Suzuki. Always been a good value range the gsx-s. It’s a shame the manufacturers don’t invest more than 6p in the rear shocks these days. Honda are equality guilty surprisingly, but it’s been a factor with suzuki for a while, even the gen 1 & 2 ‘busa didn’t escape the Penny pincher’s. As always great review and keep them coming. 👍👍
The rear shock is much improved, but yes built to a budget
Thought that first left hander on the track was going to get you! Top marks to Suzuki for affordability. No cruise control when it's fully ride by wire?
I can only assume the Suzuki Cruise control uses the IMU... Only reason I can think of for not including it
Had the gsxs 750, really nice cheap bike. Upgrade time came tried the old gsxs 1000 and cb1000r both nice bikes. Tried the 2020 bmw s1k and put a deposit down as soon as I finished the test ride. It was amazing compared to the Suzuki. I can’t see it being any different now.
LCR, what would you say this GSXS1000 is like vs an MT10?
Morning Chopsie, entertaining and informative vid as always. I'm in the market for a new textile road jacket, what is the one you're wearing in this (and I believe the S1000R) vid? Looks good.
It's the Knox outer jacket which is waterproof. Link to it in the description, I wear their Urban Pro Shirt under for the protection 👍 links to all in the description
@@LambChopRides cheers
Also, comparing this to your most recent S1000 video, this bike sounds waaaaaaaaay better.
Is that just due to the video on the day, or is it really that diffent in person?
@@PyCoder82 cool your jets turbo, I just said this bike sounds better than another bike. And for your info, I have a beemer that I love. This just sounds better
Suzuki 4 cylinders always sound very distinctive, but it's not exhaust, it's intake.
With the right pipe, she can bark n' snarl. ua-cam.com/video/kDlXo5sblrs/v-deo.html
Should’ve nipped over to the V Strom line back in the factory and half inched the cruise control & cornering IMU gubbins.
Get that peg down 👏👏👏, we definitely get the thin end of the wedge around Pompey look at that Northern vista........nice one Chopsy 👍
Thanks Andrew!
it looks like it goes quite well, sounds nice, I'm still buying a 16 plate Superduke R though
couldn't help myself, nice cornering mate X'D 00:15
I emailed Suzuki GB about the snatchiness of my 2019 GXS S1000 and they said that they have had no complaints about that particular problem, I couldn't believe it. Everyone I had spoken to who knew of this particular bike said that the bike was great except for the snatchy throttle response. I felt really insecure on bends, even on uneven roads and riding in town trying to stick to about 30mph. Because of all these issues with the bike I traded it in and lost a lot of bloody money. While I'm sure the throttle response has been sorted I won't be getting the new model. I don't trust Suzuki because they lied to me with their response to my email that I sent to them.
I have a 2018 gsx s750, also has a snatchy throttle which I've learned to use having ha it for 2 years and done 20000miles or so, very annoying there isn't a fix because everything else on the bike is brilliant and yeah Suzuki play dumb whenever asked about it!
Hi chopsie great video. I'm confused I have a 16 plate gsxs1000 with a rapid bike evo fitted and a quick shifter and a trade in price of 4800 for a minter ( hmmmm) last week at street bike for the New 21 gsxs1000.my head says I'm mad paying another £6200 for the same bike is it that much better. Yes i need some help. Or should I have the mto9 sp. Terry from Sutton coldfield.
Never clicked faster. I am typing this even before completing watching. Have the 750. One day ....
Please share your experiences on engine heating in traffic for hot countries, riding position for touring, anything for daily commutes...etc
Selling my new GSX-S750 that I bought this January to get the new 1000
@@pranjal70 the 750 motor is a very capable motor for in traffic riding. The engine gets hot but not unbearably so even on hot days. The longest I have done is 400km and it was comfortable. Unlike the MT series though it is a bit more sportier. I am 5'11" and end up a bit more hunched on the front. Would have loved the 1000 but heard reports of the snatchiness and did not even try. That, and the fact that I was graduating from a 135cc. Now though, I think I can handle the power.
All in all the 750 is a superb balanced motorcycle. Very forgiving with demonic characteristics higher up the rev range.
@@Sid_Mowe lucky you. I have a Mrs who is not a big fan. Lol
@@BernardSolomon thank you. Gsx-s750 or CBR650R? Or a trident? Your thoughts please!
I’m currently riding the 2016, this has a larger 19l tank plus all the gizmos. Really underrated, I’m supposed to get something else like the Africa twin , but it just doesn’t make any sense.. The mind says Suzuki but I should try something else.
New Gsxs1000,mt10,zh2 or cb1000. Which you prefer bro?
Chopsy.....so, the sun is shining, you have a couple of hours to go for a blast and you have the S1000R Sport or GSX-S1000 on your driveway...which one you taking!?
Very tough call... I'm really not sure 😕
Ur not north till ur past Middlesbrough. Some would say ur not north until u pass durham. Im in Newcastle upon tyne
It seems quite small? How is it for size?
Hey chops what’s a good budget litre bike for someone your height and weight ?
I’m thinking k5 gixxer any if you have time big thanks 🙏 for the entertainment and information
Budget comfy bike for a tall fat lad. I had the zx9r years ago that was great and comfy massive compared to today's bikes. Pegs were to high for me on the gixxer got knee pain. I have a kawasaki z1000 now great bike. Get a z1000sx if u wanting fairings quick and all day comfy. Depends in ur budget really
@@wallsend_wildcamper thankyou sir 🤛
Another great video Lamb Chop
Any mention of a faired version coming down the line?
No sorry should have asked... but sure they would have been tight lipped about it anyway 👍
From what I understand the tank is larger too, which (from what I've heard) is good for around 190-miles. If true, I just found my next daily/fast touring bike.
Yes that's its, 19 litres!
@@LambChopRides That's fantastic. Thank you for confirming. Cheers.
Thanks for all the effort on making this extensive first ride. How do you compare this bike to the CB1000r? I have the gsx s750 2020 and looking for a 1000cc road bike.
Close your eyes and go for the new GSX-S1000, the K5 motor is a gem, much better than the 07 fireblade engine in the cb1000r
Unless you want to own the bike for more than 5 years, if so get the honda
The north is when you get to where I am! Tyne and Wear! 😂
Cracking vid John
Thanks matey 👍
Good to see they had Username Kate to keep you on your toes Chopsy... And she managed to bag the only black bike!! :-)
Nearly had your chops on that left hander 😂
👍🏻I like the exhaust note
So what is the number one reason you would buy this over a gsxr 1000r
Is there a faired (F) version coming?
Yes not sure..
The Slaughtered Lamb was the pub in AWIL I think
Haha that's it 👍
6:35 The money shot right there.😍
Nice one chops 👍
With that £3k saving over the S1kr, they could then get a good low mileage older sport bike for track fun, or as an alternative for the weekend. I couldn't even afford the £3k lol, but still have a very nice sport bike.
Yes it's a good point, really good value bike I loved it 👍
Super sir.i love Suzuki 😎
On these hot nakeds Chopsy needs to be in my old stomping grounds: the CA Sierras or along the CA Coast Range & Hwy 1 for testing this kind of bike. I could plot him out several good routes starting with Hwy 36 out of Red Bluff all the way to the coast, 101 south to Hwy 1 south all the way to SF with several side trips into the Coast Range. Ahhh, yes....then off to the Sierras, Bucks Lake, Mosquito Ridge, the passes......ahhhhhh.......
Chops, what are those white sport gloves you´re using?
Knox Handroid 👍
@@LambChopRides Cheers
Fitting the Katana throttle tube solves the snatchy throttle on the GSX S 1000
I installed the G2 throttle tamer and no issues with snatchy throttle on my 2018 F.
Great review Chops Great bike for money but Suzuki seem a bit behind rest on looks still
Cracking video, glad you liked gods own county
Loved it 😁
