I really do like these. Depending on how my own business goes this year I may be ready to upgrade. I've been in between one of these and the Triumph Daytona 660. I honestly think I'd like the three cylinder engine more and that $200 price bump may keep me leaning towards the Triumph.
Now I did a blue one in 24, but the one your talking about is this one is believe- it was a comparison of the 8R & 8S ua-cam.com/video/_zWUGX4Y620/v-deo.html
Amazing value you get with this bike for the price. Suzuki have a winning formula on this. Race tires on this baby and you can hit the track. Love the colour, TFT and appears comfortable to ride! Nice vid Ray! Thank!
I don't know why Suzuki doesn't adopt this cyclops headlight design over the one they use on their 600 and 1000 gsxr's. I wish those headlights looked similar to this one.
Raymond, Raymond, Raymond , you forgot the number plates ... again😮 I see you still are having camera trouble,,, they just won't record you turning off and dismounting the bike 😮 I like the colour... reminds me of the old GS 500. What do you rate the Chiropractor insurance required for this *Delilah* 😊
@@lesgillard985 Hey Les! The Chiropractic Scale is good I would assume. Ray appeared to be fairly uptight for a sports bike. Was the crouch uncomfortable in any way Ray? I like the colour too Les! Very cool Delilah for sure! The GS500 had a really prominent frame. That was a cool bike too.
@Lowend_Chug super Comfortable!! You know you two guys are like brothers to me!! You've been with me for a long time and I really appreciate it!!!! Have a Fantastic weekend and no crazy crap this weekend!!
@@Lowend_Chug Hi Chug 😀. Won't be long before the snow is gone mate!!! 🙏 You bought up another important consideration for *Raymond* to evaluate, *The Testicular Comfort Index.* , an often overlooked component, when choosing a bike. 🤔. The GS 500 (nakid or faired) is a great work horse... Expensive too, if you can get one,😐
The MT07 has a shitty frame and suspension and sub-par brakes ... yamaha wants you to upgrade it with their performamce damper (chassis damper) and aftermarket suspension... andf better brembo /sbs pads .notice in 3 generations the mt07 never had a SP version and thats by design... YAmaha and the dealers/aftermarket wants to rip you off royal. Meanwhile... The GSX 8S /8R is a pair of tires away from a casual track day...
The new MT07 has updated suspension, brakes, and chassis. It’s still behind the 8S though, especially in terms of power. In order to get an MT07 on par with a stock 8S it needs a full exhaust, tune, and upgraded intake box and velocity stacks… Suzuki hit the ball out dot he park with these bikes
Don't buy any motorcycle you can't bring groceries home on. Buy a mule, not a racehorse. I don't know about you, but I got to eat, and I'm not driving into town every day to eat out at a restaurant. You got to eat every day, and you'll never race.
Love the yellow,ray. Excellent review. Can't wait to see what suzuki has coming in the future. God bless.
Thanks Roger 🙏🏻- Have a AWESOME weekend my friend!!
Love that yellow. Best colors for motorcycles are yellow, green, and purple
Thanks for Commenting and Watching 🙏🏻. I Agree 👍- Have a AWESOME weekend my friend!!!
Bought my hayabusa from there, one of the best show rooms I’ve seen
It is a AWESOME dealership!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Stay out of trouble King Leo🤣
@ I’ll definitely try but the weather has been too nice not to rip it just a bit 😂
thank you for making these videos ray
Always my pleasure Ranger!!! Have a Fantastic weekend my friend!!!!

Go see Mike! When you get ready- he will take care of you!!!
Very nice bike, that yellow is a good color as well as the gray.
Hey Shawn it is a great looking color!!! Have a AWESOME weekend and try and stay out of trouble!!!
O yea buddy, love that high viz yellow
Would you recommend this bike to a first time rider?
Probably not,start smaller 500 - 650 Ninja!! That's my recommendation!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Have a AWESOME weekend!!!
@@RayBowdenRidesyes not a beginner bike good for people with 5-10 year experience of daily riding though!
I bought this as my first bike with only MSF experience as long as you keep it in “Comfort”mode till your ready for “Active” mode
Perfect daily commuter! Also keeping traction on level 3 will help
@@bottv9249 should learn to ride a bike that doesn’t have so many electronics. You’ll be a better rider if you learn on a ninja 400 or something
Just if the ergonomics were a bit more sporty that would be perfect
Thanks for Commenting- interesting idea for sure!!
I hope to have the gsx 8s by year's end. Great job by the way
Thanks Tom!! Stay in Touch and Thanks for Commenting and the kind words!! Have a AWESOME weekend.
Ray, didn’t you already ride this bike? In fact, I think you were the very first UA-camr to upload a test ride on this bike.
Now I did a blue one in 24, but the one your talking about is this one is believe- it was a comparison of the 8R & 8S ua-cam.com/video/_zWUGX4Y620/v-deo.html
Have a AWESOME weekend MSD- Try and stay out of trouble this weekend 🤣.
@@RayBowdenRides it’s riding day tomorrow….so heck no 😈
Uh OH, Sounds fun to me!! Ok scratch the stay out of trouble then🤣.
I haven’t been able to ride for months, due to the weather… watching this will have to scratch my itch for now.
Scratch Scratch- thanks for Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay out of trouble this weekend 🤣
Great looking bike and your a lucky guy ray
Thanks Duane!! Stay out of trouble outlaw!!!

Yes sir! Thanks for Commenting and have a AWESOME weekend!!

Needs cruise & IMU
Inexcusable in the ride by wire era and cruise control is not included.
Yes sir- I'm sure it will make it's way soon, Thanks Rodeo for Commenting!!! Have yourself a AWESOME Weekend 🙏🏻.

@sleeper.simulant7327 yes they did! You just sit tight because Suzuki is working on ots GSXR LINE UP RIGHT NOW!!
Probably the mt 07 nightmare too. R7 and 2025 mt 07 have the same top speed
It’s the same Engine and drivetrain……
forget the r7, id take this over the r9.
aint that good lol
@@benbaxter4454 the r9? agreed!
Thanks for Commenting 🙏🏻.
You two have a great weekend!!
@@BlooveyMcgradyit’s not even out yet lmao. How do you know which is better?
Don't buy any motorcycle you can't bring groceries home on. Buy a mule, not a racehorse.
I don't know about you, but I got to eat, and I'm not driving into town every day to eat out at a restaurant.
You got to eat every day, and you'll never race.
Backpack..
Suzuki offers saddlebags that appear to be the SW Motech Blaze saddlebag system, a terrific soft bag system.
She’s got herself a boomer bagger.
Nah. No thanks.
You don't always ride to do groceries and not everyone lives in the city either. I ride for fun, and that bike is fun to ride.
We have cars, too...
