The New Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX - The Perfect Crossover
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2024
- My love for Suzukis is no secret and this sports tourer just adds to that love. Taller and more adventure styled than the Suzuki GSX 1000 GT, this Suzuki GSX-S1000 GX is the perfect crossover between Adventure, Sports and Tourer. More comfy than the Yamaha, cheaper than the BMW and with more tech than both. Just lovely.

One of my favourite things about your channel Mr TAYM is that you ride all kinds of bikes: new, classic, retro, big, small, tall, short, twins, fours, triples, British, Japanese, Austrian, Indian and more. You truly are a fan boy of all motorbikes! Hats off to you.
Thanks BL 😁 absolutely 😁
I’ve had both 4 and 6 cylinder in line bikes which were super smooth. But I’m now back on V and horizontal twins, they wobble, rattle and cannot be described as smooth. But and it’s a big but, they are so much more characterful and enjoyable to ride. I wish Suzuki would do away with all the letters of the models. Give them a name like Katana etc
Thanks AD 😁 I think we are all with you 😁
Excellent review! In-line 4 cylinder engines are so smooth.
Thanks PP 😁 incredibly so 😁
Lovely looking bike and everyone should own at least one inline four in their motorcycling lifetime, dreamy creamy. Lovely appraisal sir, hope you get that longer summer ride on it. 👍
Thanks Terry 😁 a very plush ride 😁
What a sweet machine!! That one turned my head! Thanks!!!👍😎
Thanks TBG 😁
Excellent review TAYM, love the sound of a four cylinder engine. After owning 28 bikes to date including parallel and 'V' twins, I always end up purchasing one with four cylinders, and, I'm fortunate to have four different options in the garage, just waiting for warmer weather 😊.
Looking forward to your next mutter, ride safe 👍.
Thanks JS 😁 definitely something about inline 4s 🤔 could be it reminds me of my youth 🤔😂😂
Lovely big Suzuki TAYM , your enthusiasm for Suzuki comes over every time ! I love the brand too , bulletproof quality at reasonable prices what's not to love.
At your height one of these would suit you perfectly 😊
Thanks DJ 😁 definitely could do with one 😁
What a handsome bike with I guess plenty of road presence, I keep liking this kind of bike so I think I’ve really got to try one out . Thanks TAYM
Definitely ought to try 😁 thanks GCK 😁
Magnificent motorcycle. What you were saying about bits from here and there in the bike’s make-up, the same was said about my ZZR1200. They said the ZZR1200 was a parts bin bike.
Well, my pats bin Zed has about 64, 000 miles on it and we had some unbelievable adventures in those miles… I’d imagine this Suzuki is capable of that, and more!
Cheers Mr TAYM, have a wonderful week!
Spot on PW 😁 I reckon you are right 😁
Another interesting review of a Suzuki. I enjoy your reviews, even when it is a bike that probably isn't for me👍👍. Of course, if I rode one, I could always change my mind.
Nothing wrong with the interceptor 😁 isn’t that the problem 😁 thanks GBD 😁
You are right TAYM. There is nothing wrong with the Interceptor and I have no desire to fix it😁. Well, apart from the modifications that I have already made. @@TAYM
Thanks for the vlog ! one hell of a nice bike Suzuki fan boy myself think I be having a word with the wife ! lol
Definitely a cracking bike 😁 thanks W 😁
Great review. Very nice. Bugger about the seat hight. Would you have that or the GT sports tour for long trips ?
Thanks IT 😁 definitely this 😁
Great review naughty boy that is one bike i am thinking of getting
You could definitely do a lot worse 😁 lovely bike 😁 thanks Frank 😁
Your comment about 1000cc once considered a big bike is true, I’m sure like me you remember when 500cc was a big bike. I’m now riding a Thunderbird 1700cc now days 1000cc is almost a middle weight 😂😂
Back in the day I thought my Honda CB350 was a monster 😂
Thanks RH 😁 yes, totally agree 😁
Nice review TAYM good looking bike, BMW of course have the S1000XR in a similar guise it has 165hp and 114Nm, probably a bit more expensive though.
Thanks SW 😁 surprisingly only a couple more grand 😁
Afternoon Mr TAYM. Lovely bike, now if only they would produce a more sensible 600cc version, which would still have more than enough usable power. Just like the Bandit 600S of old 😊.
That would be good 😁 thanks Ian 😁
Just watched Dickie mint cycles Wiltshire man's mate doing a review on the same bike. Good little channel he's got.
I shall have to watch that 😁 thanks RG 😁
I can’t help but see a touch of Husqvarna Svarpilen in the talk design mr.TAYM.And that’s a good thing,beautiful bike all the same.
Thanks BR 😁 I see what you’re saying 😁
It's a nice looking bike, one of the best from Suzuki so far and probably the most practical for comfortable touring. It'll be interesting to see your thoughts on a longer test ride, some say the suspension is on the soft side even although it's electronically adjustable. I would have expected a bit more fuel economy, it's less than my ZZR 1400 and not much better than my Rocket 3. Both of which have good reason to drink a bit of forward propellent 😲😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks GW 😁 yes, even Suzuki only claim 45mpg 🤔
Thanks for review . Is the 15 cm travel suspension soft like versys1000 or stiff like s1000 xr ?
The popular belief is that it is a bit soft but given the electronics I am not sure it wouldn’t stiffen up. It seemed fine on the smooth at a quicker pace but also rode the old broken roads with comfort without wallowing🤔 I guess it is down the middle 😁 thanks KNN😁
You mentioned the CL500 in your Friday video. My husband rides one and he's waiting for you to review one if you can please.
Thanks SR 😁 as soon as I can find a Honda dealer that is willing I will be on one 😁
I don't know why but after having a big 4 I just find I prefer twins. I can see this appealing to a lot of sports bike riders who want to go touring.
Thanks Mike 😁 I think you are probably right 😁
When Suzuki released the 800 VStrom I wondered if it was a precursor to ending production of the 650. Now that they have another adventure road-biased 1000, is the 1050 VStrom endangered? I realize they have many fans of the v-twins, but they seem to be on a cost-cutting binge. Those v-twins cost more to build, though the basic designs have more than paid for themselves. Can Suzuki afford to build bikes that compete with other bikes in their own model range? I’d be tempted to buy a v-twin VStrom soon if I wanted a new one.
Thanks AD 😁 yes, I am a bit worried about where Suzuki are going🤔 some very odd decisions being made but I do like their bikes 😁
really like that bike. a Suzuki that i could enjoy! thanks for the review as i know you love them!
Thanks LoY 😁
Mark Pulling had the same criticism of the bike's wind protection too so it's not simply due to your greater height because he's seemingly a similar size chap to Dave. That said, you both had the screen at its lowest setting.
Interesting, I think before I bought it I would have to see what it’s like with the screen at max height . Strange not many are any good at making effective screens🤔 thanks SB 😁
These tall sports tourers are the onlu ST's that fit me well, tried the GT and found it too cramped. At one time i'd have been seriously interested in this bike, but i dont need or want this much power anymore. Also at one time, IL4's were the main engine configuration i wanted and bought, but i prefer twins now. I also like like decent fuel consumption these days, even Suzuki only give this bike as 45 mpg, but this old K5 lump is from an era when no one cared about mpg.
But saying all that, its a Suzuki, it'll be a great bike and supremely reliable. For that i will probably test ride one and it'll also relive my days of riding powerful smooth IL4's. But it isn't a bike i would buy now.
Thanks MJ 😁 I think you speak for many 😁 including possibly myself 😁
Awww TAYM I am so jealous I really like this one the only trouble is I couldn't afford the leg extensions .and even the silencer is neat and tidy I reckon Mrs TAYM would like riding pillion on this one especially with a box on the back as well . What can I say no center stand but no if's and's or but's would I have one hell yes .😛👌👍
😂😂😂 thanks Crumb 😁 Mrs TAYM would love it 😁
I started riding in 1980. Stopped until this year. I'm buying a RE...old, so comfort is important ( at 71). After my test ..1980..I bought a GSX 250t...loved it. Until.i rode home after work in the heavy snow and got wiped out by an idiot driver. I'll report back on my purchase. Great videos.
Thanks A 😁 very interesting 🤔 can’t wait to see what you go for 😁
A lovely review that. .Now there's a new bike that Shivers my timbers. It looks like a modern masterpiece, a 4 cylinder Tracer GT maybe (and it doesn't have a Psspot front brake reservoir) . But why can't anyone but BMW put an effective screen on a modern bike? Do they all have shares in Puig?
Thanks BD 😁 I know, it’s strange isn’t it and frustrating 😁
Nice one TAYM. If only the seat was 45mm lower!
😂😂😂 thanks B 😁
If I could be tempted from my v strom……. This could be it. But elec suspension, tft. I prefer twins and older tech. I had a k5 gsx1000 in 2005 I think. I went to Scotland on it and sold it as too skeletally challenged for my creaky frame. However that engine is a beast, had a few powerful bikes but lasting memory of that engine. Nice one TAYM just confirms I like what I’ve got
Always nice when you can see other bikes and it confirms you mind the right decision 😁 thanks Volt😁
A journeyman motorcycle for the journeyman .
It looks a bit "transformer-ish" , but I bet it will do a good job of taking you on your touring holiday to wherever and back ( but only on paved roads ) .The weight is about normal for a biggish bike , is it well balanced or top heavy like the Vstrom ?
The amount of electronic control over the power and handling is impressive, or worrying , depending on your point of view .
A bike to keep for a good time , not a long time .
I possibly think you have it sewn up there DS 😁 thanks 😁
Nice bike and love that engine, the question is why is it circa £3k more expensive than the GT?
I think it’s the electronics 🤔 not sure🤔 it has all the tilt responsive traction control and braking and active suspension that none of notice or really need 🤔😂😂😂 thanks BV 😁
How lovely of Suzuki to fit a gold tyre pump on the left hand side, I bet there's a puncture repair kit under the seat😆. Not had the chance to ride no where near the amount of bikes you have but I do prefer a Twin find 4 cyl a bit sterile, to perfect , but then I am Moto Guzzi fan.
Yes, perhaps a bit too slick 🤔 thanks MS 😁
Ahhhh there you is..... you're a manimal damn thing looks like a transformer from the 80s optomis prime in bike form.....❤🎉🎉
😂😂😂
Nice 👍, but too big and heavy for me 😔. I think you should do a review of that little Suzuki avenis 125 scooter I could see in the demo line up especially with you being a secret scooter lover 😂
Thanks B 😁 definitely, next time I am there I shall ask 😁
I think you can give it a little more beans, you are riding it like a Royal Enfield.
😂😂😂 damn those speed limits 😁😂😂 thanks W 😁
Morning Taym I like this one 😊 but would you have one 👍
Thanks AR 😁 for a job, yes I think so 😁
Surprised at how pulled together the S1000 GX is. However, you made it look like a mile munching tourer today.
Thanks DCG 😁 I reckon it would be very easy to do a good few miles on 😁
Sorry TAYM but for looks, character and authenticity you can’t beat a Guzzi 😜 once you ride one you don’t want anything else in my honest opinion 😊 good video though 👍🏻 Caio for now👍🏻
Thanks HN 😁 yes, the new Guzzi is definitely worth a look 😁
There is only 1 (ONE !) "Perfect Crossover" : BMW S1000 XR Period!!
And for just £4K more 😁 thanks Whip😁
I was first to like it 😎🙌
Marvellous 😁😂😂😂 thanks Si 😁
@@TAYM no worries and my sincere condolences to you and your family
@@siharries2014 thanks Si 😁
Suzuki boy TAYM ~ Naughty boy TAYM 😆😆
😂😂😂 that’s me 😁😂😂
Very nice bike, but it has a big empty space at the back tire/nr plate
Thanks WB 😁 you won’t notice that when the panniers are on though 😁😂😂
@@TAYM i was thinking that to, some sporty looking paniers will fit this bike nicely.
I’m the opposite to you TAYM, every time I sling my leg over a four cylinder I realise why I ride twins, fours are just to anonymous and boring - give me a big twin anytime!
Interesting TP 😁 I think I need to ride a GS 😁
I had high hopes for this machine but sadly its a screamer, needs another gear its too highly geared. Shame price undercuts the beemer
Thanks GP 😁
Sensor not on my face 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😁 thanks GW 😁
3rd😲
A better time today was 3am the other day & was snoring 😴 & didn't see it till about 7am.
Some new BMW Sport bikes coming out & they're 4 cylinders & should really go for it & look awesome too.
...slipping...and you started the year so well RR/CC
Ah I'm a mutation......
@@jaysinhoffner2134Willie's mate?😂
I don't like most modern motorcycle design tbh and l wonder how many of us are being totally honest.
Too many triangles, scaffolding, cheap led lights and silly electronics don't impress me.
It all appears to be a cost cutting exercise.
Rolex don't have a digital watch, my point being, we now have these TFT Screens which are cheap and nasty compared to the beautiful analog clocks.
Headlights are becoming a thing of the past and have been replaced by a Beak with a Cyclopes led eye.
This Suzuki has a wonderful motor but it seriously lack character.
Thanks MR 😁 it’s becoming the way of the world 😕
Perfect? No.
with that great big tank - you should bash thru the hedges and miss the horrid roads , its so big it defeats the object as you have to follow the cars ;;; as for the screen - those worse than useless things are the biggest con and stupid ' follow the sheep ' gimmicks out there , back on bertie please - maybe with a turbo ;;;
😂😂😂 funny isn’t it 😁 thanks SG 😁
