    The GSX-S is such a good bike to ride, I just came back from a 12 hour ride, from Auckland to Cape reinga and back, from riding twistie roads in the rain to your typical off camber rural NZ roads it handles like a dream, super comfortable and lights up like a Christmas tree in the dark, got home safe, really good at over taking streams of cars, has loads of power!

    I bought a 2018 GSX-S1000Z ABS in 2019 by total accident. Backed into it while examining a Kawie Z900 that I was intent on buying that night new off the floor at an MC dealer in So Cal. Paid $7000 for a dealer demo with 4000 miles on the clock. Felt like I stole it. Had two K^ Gixxer litre bikes previously. Was unaware that Suzuki made a naked after the B-King (which I also once owned). Bought the Gixses that night and rode it home in the rain. Three years later, I'm still in love with that bike. Rides like the Gixxer, but with a much more comfortable riding position. Like the sound of the stock exhaust. Now has Corsa II tires and bar-end mirrors. Speedo's off by about 7%. Installed a Power Commander to add some fuel for smoothness. What a great bike!

    • @gkbike7002
      @gkbike7002 2 роки тому +1

      Yes I commuted in winter. Its great on wet roads. It has 5 stage traction control, off an 4 more active settings. 5 is rain mode. Under 30 mph traction control and mapping can be altered. C mode and TCT are excellent in the wet. A mode and TCT 1 or off and its a monster. Very aggressive. B mode is more daily use but hit the twisties open her up and she's seriously quick. I've done the original dunlops in 3k. Just put michelin road 5s on. Very good and tip in well. But by far the best thing about it is it handles like a 750. Really nimble. Its actually 1kg lighter than the 750 because it has the gixxer 1000 aluminum frame, engine and swing arm.

    Great video Spite, but honestly you don't really even go into the half of it. There is a whole family of GSXS-1000 bikes now. The plain GSXS-1000, the GSXS-1000F with a full fairing, The 80's retro styled Katana GSXs-1000F and the sports touring GSXS-1000GT. They are all basically the same bike with different bodywork, seats and subframes. Suzuki knocked it out of the park in '05 and they keep running the bases. As for me, I love my 2020 Katana. I personally think it looks great and it's a beast of a bike when you get on it but with enough of a mild mannered persona if you take it easy to do just about anything.

    Hi, yes i have that exact gsxs1000, same colour..
    I took 1 year to think about what naked bike I was going to buy...
    Was it going to be a ducati or a yamaha or a honda I wasn't even considering a suzuki... until I read about the K5 engine....
    So it was a bit dated but it was a special engine, so I had to see for my self what was the big hipe...
    So I made an appointment at the suzuki dealer to try it
    A 30 minute ride was all it took to hook me, that was it, I had discovered the K5 engine in a more refined manner and man did that sound and that gruall put my hairs on edge...
    Some people forget that perfection on a motorcycle is not about the most modern, it's all about how the bike makes you feel when you ride it...
    When suzuki decided to build that bike they first asked their fans how they wanted the bike to be...
    And then and behold came the GSX-1000

The people at Suzuki aren't idiots. Like all the other major manufacturers, Suzuki has likely been focusing on innovation and development of new green tech platforms for quite some time now.

      Depends on what you compare it to. If you go top teir bike, like a 21 RSV4 the Suzuki is almost a second slower in the quarter mile running a 10.28 in motostats hands vs a 9.4 on the Aprilia. I think the real consideration here is that for the several thousands less that the Suzuki calls for, it's a rather good value. Just my opinion.

And if one of these electric vehicles goes wrong with the torque and power they have the driver or rider will be dead. Anyway I'm showing my age but I'm seriously considering the new r7. Might only have 70hp but there no electronics controlling it. I could just ride and enjoy.

    I have a GSXR1000 and had a GSXS1000 which I sold recently. Personally, I loved riding them both but the GSXR, despite being ancient history is so much better. Sure the GSXS has more low down torque but it’s too snatchy. You get used to it and it was always fun to ride but once I got back on the GSXR and felt it’s smooth power delivery and feel through the front tyre, you realise that the GSxS is a lesser copy. Plus the buttons on the GSXS feel a little cheap. I had the PC5 on the GSXS and it was still a snatchy handful compared the GSXR. The GSXR is a comfortable sports bike and would be fine for long rides if that’s your thing.

    The GSX-S 1000 is a genious bike!
    Unluckily I just could ride it one time for one hour. But I am thinking about to buy it in the comming years.
    I appreciate the way how Suzuki manage their lineup, eliminating one weak part after the other and seeling an updated version for affordable prices. Over long-term this causes a good availability of spareparts and a big community of owners which can help you with their experience / knowledge to fix any problem that may appear one day.
    Over all technical matureness, longevity and reliability of the core of the bike are much more important to me than peakpower figures and electronic features.
    Thank you for your content on these motorcycles!
    Best regards from indoctrinated Germany!

      @@ashdivakaran9664 It sure does... easily lean it into the corners / twisties. I haven't done a track day but on the street, no difference than a naked or sport bike.
      Can't wait to put on the Michelin Road 6 tires on... handling will improve 100%. When the OEM rubber is done I'll change the tire with the 6's and change the profile from 190/50/17 to 190/55/17... the cornering will be improved along with a closer speedo correction.
      My GT+ came with 2 windscreens so, for the long haul or weekend trips, I'll put the touring screen on.
      I love the cases on how quick and easy they are putting them on and taking them off. I also like the folding handles.

    To be honest, the prices that Suzuki sets on these bikes, for that price, nothing can beat these bikes. And when you sit down and think that, you really do not need anything more that what these have, suddenly this becomes and prideful possession. Of course there are more reasons for us to always love the gixxers and gixxes's.

Better suspension. 200bhp. Variable valve timing. Cornering abs. And so on.... I have the 2018 rr and its up there with some of the best such as bmws and ducatis on the street at an affordable price . 👌

    I think Suzuki, more than any other manufacturer, would love to be pushing the performance boundaries year after year. But the reality is, that level of R&D is just too expensive to pay for with a product that sells in these limited quantities. It takes many years to recoup that investment if you are going to sell bikes like these in the everyman’s budget. I am just happy they have continued to build such high quality bikes that do hold up and pass the test of time. Yet still haul a**!

    For the 5% of time we go full throttle we would all like more power - even if we need electronic help to be able to do it. But for the most part 150/160 h.p. And a broad spread of torque is what road riders need. After the k6 Suzuki went bigger bore / short stroke for bigger power figures and the bikes lost something! Along the way… I still run a k6 because it’s light and more than fast enough for the road… every time a manufacturer goes chasing power they seem to sacrifice some rideabillity, ( big power and super light crankshafts really hamper smooth shifts and on/ off throttle transitions, that said - to each their own! We don’t all ride bikes for the same reasons or because they are sensible!..” TURBO CHARGED HAYABUSA WITH SH*T BRAKES!!!!!!!!!😳😳😳

    Suzuki never really sold the K5 motor in their naked…. Okay, yes, cases are the same, block might be the same, but the heads, throttle bodies etc. are different and they have totally different power delivery. I’ve still got a k5 1000 I bought new and have ridden the GSXS…. Not the same animal. Well more like the difference between a dog and a wolf.
    They could put the REAL k5 1000 in the GSXS and the magazines would be ball gargling over it. Why Suzuki didn’t is beyond me.
