Ian I would ask that you add a recommended skill level for the riders of the bikes you review. Someone with perhaps a year or two under their belt may not be able to handle this amount of horsepower.
I’m glad you hammered on the most ‘unexciting’ aspect of bikes…..reliability! Suzuki is exceptional when it comes to reliability. This is a cool bike
Right on!
Agree with you. Suzuki made a great step in the right direction. Hope they will give the the next one the central stand. Otherwise no complaints. Drop by when have time, you may like it.
But they tend to rot quicker and have a lesser build quality!
The engines are reliable from my experience!
@@realscience948 the rust thing is a bit of a heart breaker, a 5 year old Suzuki tends to look much worse than a 10 year old Honda, it's often not actually going to cause any structural/functional issues but it does kill the "look back" appeal of the bike.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace It not new idea, it used to be old Sport tourist bikes like suzuki rf900
Bought this bike a month ago and couldn't be happier. I kept looking at adventure bikes until I realized that most of my riding (90%) is on pavement. I can get a bona fide dual sport for the other 10% if I need to. Great review!
My sentiments exactly on the dual sport if the itch arrises. I went with the '22 1000SX, but it frankly doesn't look like you can go wrong either way. Sadly she just went into winter storage yesterday 😢 .
Cheers from Vermont!
I am curious, why winter storage? I live in Australia, you can ride year round.
I am guessing snow covering the roads making anything with less than 4 wheels a recipe for disaster.
Did you consider the Versys 1000?
Wadeifer I did but I wanted something a bit sportier. Still loving it!
@@Wadeifer same for me. I only ride on roads (off road is illegal in Germany and i also dont want to). And im thinking about the same Versys or a more sporty one like the GSXS or Tracer 9
We bought one and a Ninja 1000 SX this summer and we couldn’t be happier with both of them. Differences are minor and you’ll be happy with either one.
Holy, Moly! Congratulations. I'm 55 and realizing my wrist really doesn't want another Hayabusa. Been watching videos on this bike for five months. Treating myself next year.
I agree with you Ian, in today's hyper inflated prices this bike represents good value, also I find it pleasing on the eye, even the predator looking front end fits in well with the rest of the bike. I think Suzuki will sell shed loads, it's also getting great reviews here in the UK. Thank you for another great review...
Finally finally finally you are reviewing this bike, also I'm waiting for the review of the Kawasaki z1000sx it's competitor, I love sport touring bike inline 4 engines, I'm so 😊😊😊😊
Just get whatever color you like best.
People cry about the lean sensitive stuff but if you are panick braking at full lean you will still crash on the Kawi. As for everything else there aint much in it, the Suzuki is slightly faster
Me too. I have the Kawasaki, no complaints at all.
S1000XR?.
Interested in a review of the 1000SX as well. With the bags added, it's still slightly less expensive than the Suzuki here in Canada.
Would love a 1000sx review as well. I'm just about to buy one, but would love a pro's insight!
I just bought one of these last week! Going from a 790 Adventure S to this because I can’t really ride off road where I live. It is so far just a wonderful motorcycle and offers so much for the price!
How do u find the screen? Is it sufficient for big miles? Also, any idea about 2 up riding. Best of luck , seems a wonderful bike
Top-notch review Ian! Very detailed & much appreciated. Also love your garage & all the toys. Cheers from Canada, Ronny
Good review, shame about the windshield, seems a "sport-touring" bike should have an adjustable one with better wind protection.
It seems that the only option is to go for a touring one.
Ninja 1000sx has an adjustable windscreen
Nicely done review. I have the predecessor of this model the GSX-S1000F and find it to be an excellent solo rider sport tourer. The motor is certainly the highlight of this bike.
This is so true. The engine is the core point here. Just rode the Tracer 9GT. Drop by to see it.
Choose Suzuki every time ! You wont regret it ! Most reliable engine - nicest handling - and yeah it will last forever !
Ian, your reviews are outstanding! The more videos you do the more you get better! It's unreal that this channel has become soooo good for us to visit, great, GREAT job!! 👏🏼♥️
Perfectly agree. Wonderful work here.
Gotta love that on this channel you just know before you even open up the video you know there's perfectly placed chapter markers and a "competition" section right as I want it. Love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Excellent review as always, Ian. The sport touring segment is a dying breed and I'm glad to see this bike being made.
Thanks. This is one of the best motorcycle reviews I've ever seen. Comprehensive and easy to follow. I've been looking at one of these bikes myself so, let's see what happens.
I received mine May 21st and have been loving it overall so far. Thanks for the review!
I own a B-King and a Bandit 1200 Mk1, Suzuki built bulletproof and legendary engines! Glad to see the comeback of 4 in-line GTs!
I work at a Suzuki dealership and I uncrate these, assemble them, and then prep them for customer delivery when they sell. That includes a 5-mile test ride.
These are never on the showroom floor long. Great bike for the money. The braking system does leave some to desire.
What would you recommend to fix the break issue?
How long does it take to prep the bike? How long to add the bags and brackets for bags? Thanks
Well, you sold me on it. I bought one yesterday and will pick it up Saturday. Sport touring isn't dead, baby!
Comprehensive review, I really like the fact you take time to go through the walk around to the instrument cluster extensively. This is why I watch your reviews. Thank you.
Was about to ask when you were going to review this bike. Love it.
Excellent review and style. I like the quick pace and knowledge You keep the flow going and don’t bore the listener. May get one. Used to have an FJR but recently sold. I still think my Valkyrie rules. Best bikes ever made.
Thumbs up for introduction and giving the context of Suzuki company as a motorcycle manufacturer and comparing the volume of production with Honda. I learnt something new.
Great job Ian! One of the best review I saw. Thank you! 👍
The one problem with the Sport Touring segment is actually trying to find time to… sports tour. ….2 kids, a house to pay for, work, kids travel ball… it’s hard to even find time.
I personally like the looks. It seems like a solid choice if you don’t want to go the ADV route. Thanks!
Agree, it looks great, but I wish they were more adventurous with colour schemes. Look at Aprilia, and BMW, for example.
Epi from Malaysia here. We don’t have many reviews on this bike locally, but after watching your vid here, I’m definitively buying… the model had just been launched here about 3 months ago… thanks!
Very, very well made review! Thanks! ✌🏻️
Excellent review! All the bases are covered and as it is. Well done.
Very nice review Ian
I like that bike and you have convinced me that I need to take a closer look. Very well structured review and clear info. We'll done!
Great review as always.
Looking fwd to your reviews in the future.
Suzuki puts out great bikes, really loved my Vstrom 1000xt. Traded for a new GS last month no regrets, but wish I could of kept the XT as well.
This S1000GT is going to produce a lot of smiles around the world. Excellent review as always and not blowing smoke when I say I don't think there's anyone out there that does them as thoroughly, or as interesting as you.
Excellent review. Bike looks, sounds and seems to perform great. My only complaint would be that a sport tourer with a chain final drive needs a factory centerstand.
i would disagree. a center stand is not sporty. you're talking about the adv style of tourer, which some also call a sport tourer. i disagree with that as well. i think an adv that's intended only for short/mild off roading, like the versys 1000, should be classified as an adventure tourer, not a sport tourer, and there's where you'll find a center stand.
@@thinkdunson You make a good point, John, but when I go sport touring (not adv touring) I tend to be on the road for long stretches and servicing the chain in a campground or motel parking lot without a centerstand gets old real quick at my age (62yo.) So for me the centerstand is a deal breaker. But I can see that for others it might not be. Ride safe!
@@davideulivieri5138 100% agree... ditch the bluetooth connectivity and give me an integrated center stand.
@@thinkdunson I tend to agree with you on bike classification. However, I have a 11' Triumph Sprint GT that matches this bike closer than any listed in the video. It is a true Sport Tourer and has a center stand as standard equipment. If you are on tour and don't have access to your paddock stand, a center stand is fantastic to have for maintenance (chain tension/lube - oil changes) and even ideal for parking. It doesn't hamper performance in any way!
Honestly the fact that it doesn't have a center stand is the reason I wouldn't buy it.😉
With today's chains, coupled with fantastic long-lasting products like chain waxes, I don't mind the infrequent hassle. The trade-off of having to reroute the exhaust and add a heavy stand would not be worth it for me.
I'm on a 1000SX with the same (non)issue.
Hi Ian, watching this excellent review the 2nd time. You seem to try to speed-up the review in between until you almost out of breath. What I like at your reviews is the thoroughness. Take your time. Before I am spending the money for a new bike, I definitely invest 45 min or more to enjoy a detailed and balanced review. Keep them coming.
Suzuki is my favourite brand.
Beautiful bike. Like the engine note as well. Great review
Brilliant stuff on this channel. Beautifully well thought out machine too. 😉
Hi Ian, thanks for a perfect test and info on this Suzuki GT. Still here in Sweden we have a cold spring season in the middle of April. The warm winds from south Europe will come within a week or two. I've just picked up my ny new Suzuki GT+ 2023 and it will be great to get out on the roads this summer. When I want a little bit more of touring and lazy comfort I take my GW1800 (2018). I have seen the most of your films on your channel. 2 thumbs up to you for giving us good info from different bikes. Wish you a nice spring and summertime over there / Pelle
Had a 2006 Suzuki Gsxr 1000 with this engine, best engine they ever made
A really unbiased and informative review. The K5/6 motor is a bulletproof and robust motor, reliable and so torquey strong...plain flat hauls ass! I want one, great value at the price! Ride safe 🙏🏻🏍☀️🇿🇦👍
Always appreciate Ian’s in depth reviews…best in the internet IMHO!
One of my friends bought the first one of these available in the US. She’s found new love!
(Edit: she added a windshield extension, btw.)
This is a bike you can have fun with every day or jump on it and take a 4000 mile road trip without a worry. (Except usual road trip maintenance, of course.)
Best sport tourer out there so far!
That engine sounds glorious.
Great review Ian,and a great bike too!
Thank’s for a good presentation. I am impresssed of your knowledge and its fun to se your mc reviews.
Perhaps i am biased on this special episode because i Just bought one Gsx s 1000 gt and its a great mc.
I have too say that you are really good to observate all things about every motorcykel you rewiewer.
I am especally impressed of your summary. 😊👍
I"ve owned three Suzuki's. Two DL V-Stroms, both 1000 model, and a 2nd gen Bandit 1200S air/oil cooled engined based on the older GSXR1000. All three were high quality, 100% reliable and a ton of fun to ride. Loved both models. The Bandit was especially fun with the half-fairing. Did lots of touring on it out west.
I absolutely love your garage! Please do a tour video at some point
Great Review! Will defo go check this bike out now 👍
Great looking bike and great package with panniers only drawback for me is as a sport tourer I would have thought a centre stand was warranted
yeah thats another thing that tells u this isnt any way shape or form a ST. right after u look at the smaller-than-a-sport-bike screen. its a gixxer squid missile sport bike for older filks who dont wont fold themselves up to ride a sport bike but still wanna haul ace. gixxer squid-mobile all the way. this wont do any serious highway riding noway. buzz u numb then painfully in less n 30mins/100miles at anything over 70. youd never last till the fuel light came on. and beat u to death with the wind.
nah, stay away from touring on this. run to walgreens, here an there B roads only with stoplights., an do what this gixxer waaaahhh machine it is is meant for. light to light waaaahhhh.
sure, with some bags/riding position so u wont get profiled by the cops.
"oh old guy, saddlebags, sitting up straight... nahhhh, solid citizen"
Just subbed. Not my style of bike but a great review. Been enjoying quite a bit of your content as I look to purchase a new bike in the middle of winter haha
Brilliant review thanks so much!
I like watching your reviews. Unfortunately we don't get most of the bikes that your review here in India, but your videos are the closest to what i enjoyed from reading magazines many years ago while growing up. 👍👍👍
I've got a GSX1250FA and I have been looking at this. Excellent review and helped me make my mind up.
so? did you buy it? how does it compare to the bandit? I have the same bandit and thinking to buy the 1000GT . Can you make some comments?
Great review- Having my Goldwing since 2019' I wanted something a little lighter and sportier like this GSX-S1000GT to give me a completely different ride experience - upon further review I went with the Kawasaki H2 SE-SX which has my GL1800 gathering lots of dust this fall
Excellent review .I bought this bike 2 month ago and the more i drive it the more potens it show. Its a beutifull bike and its wunderfull to drive.One tips for the windshield is to put trays under the front mounts of it an get a little more angle. I test it and the turbulens around the helmet was redused.
Excellent thorough review!
Detailed review. Shame for the center stand on a ST bike, otherwise no complaints. Seems that we can expect also other brands to go "more ST" in 2023. You mentioned the Tracer 9GT. I just rode one. Can check mate.
p.s. Would like to try also this one. Anyways you got my like. Keep up.
Coompetitors? LOL I thought I was going crazy for a minute. Great review, as usual. I really like the bike, and I hope they sell a million of them.
I had a 2003 SV1000S and loved it. It was my first introduction into riding. Great to see that Suzuki is keeping with that style of bike. I won’t go back to this style of bike since getting my GS but… as always the content was great.
Right on!
Had a 2006 SV1000S for my second bike. Absolutely loved
An excellent presentation, sir! 👌🏻
Excellent review! Thanks!
Best review Ive seen yet on this bike...a quick question, when you got on it what mode were you in?
I’m 59 years old and looking for my last motorcycle and this one might be it.Your reviews are really good.
As always, great review.
Thanks for the review. I get my full licence in year and I'm thinking maybe something like this.
If I had the coin available a few weeks ago, I absolutely would’ve bought this exact model and color. Beautiful bike with a very practical mix of performance, comfort, and luggage. But I got a massive deal on a 2020 Katana demo bike that still had the full warranty for only 9K, just too good to pass up. And so far I’ve been very happy with the Katana.
Great review on a very competent bike. The only thing it really needs is an aftermarket electric windscreen adjustment. And better tires according to the Brit-ish press something you didn't comment on interestingly.
I'm subscribed, sir. Thanks for great stuff.
I believe there's still a market for SPORT-touring bikes instead of just ADV bikes. Just like Ford and GM have kept the Mustang and Camaro while ditching all their other cars in favor of SUVs and pickups. Something that would be a deal breaker though is insurance premiums. I was going to get a Ninja 1000 but the insurance company priced it the same as the ZX-10R, meaning I'd have to pay more for insurance monthly than I currently pay annually for 4 bikes, one of which was a Triumph Sprint ST until recently. Hopefully the insurance companies won't see GSX and think GSX-R and price the insurance premiums like they've done with the Ninja 1000. Insurance premiums could be what's pushing people to the ADV category. Whenever I wanted to get the Ninja 1000, which I couldn't afford because of the insurance, I could have gotten the Versys 1000 (same motor!) without much of an increase to the insurance premiums I was already paying. So stupid!
I am not surprised this has high accolades. The motor is a Suzuki legend - a real gem. However the real genius is the chassis package. Its wonderful perfect combination of power, handling, nimbleness and balance is what the GSXS-1000 is and importantly.... at the right price!
Nice review of a bike that I find very interesting. Might be a good comfort upgrade from my GSX-S750. Thanks!
Great video as usual. But No justice until you review the Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx - the only Japanese 4cylinder competitor to this bike. Looking forward to that.
Excellent content. I am currently contacting dealers to get a GT+. This review confirms my initial opinion that it will suit my interests. I now have two Suzukis, a Hayabusa and a Bandit, and both have been exceptionally reliable.
Another very good review Ian. You went a bit more in depth than the general ride along videos, as I did not know that Suzuki was offering a phone app integration to the TFT.
I am curious if you have a video already out comparing different helmets (another topic, I know) I live in a rather cool climate all year round, and am looking for a very good affordable helmet that I can use on long touring rides, that provide good wind protection from cooler weather. Just like bikes out there, you get what you pay for...KLR vs KT1600...get you there, but not all the same bells and whistles.
Totally agree with you. Plus Suzuki is bulletproof!! And it has the right amount of tech. Great Bike and great review.
Excellent review and nice garage. After watching this video, I started cleaning my garage at 5am!🤣
This actually is a great bike , especially for the money. Bullet proof Japanese reliability.
Another Great review from Ian!
Superb review. Thank you..
Thanks for another great review! Coming from FJR 1st Gen, and being 6’1” what would you think the comfort would be compared to the FJR? Also, can a bar raises be installed? Thanks in advance for the reply
Suzuki gearboxes are made in heaven
Great review👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos are so well done, and i depth. Thx fot that!
I am wondering if it will be possible for you to review the Suzuki GSX S1000? I am looking at buying one, but would love a review by you first
Very good.
Thanks.
Regards from Brazil.
Love this bike. Still not convinced I'd take it over a current gen Ninja 1000 (especially since Kawi is about to release a new Ninja 1000 for the 2023 model year!) but the new Suzuki still catches my eye. Glad they jumped into the fray.
Thank you for this and all of your other thorough, intelegent and well thought of reviews! I test rode the latest the Ninja 1000 SX and had very short urban run on the Tracer 9 GT. Really like the Ninja, but not crazy about the Tracer, but would like to get another test other than riding through suburbia under 45 mph, for a fair test... Can you review the Ninja and the Tracer 9? These seem to be very close competitors. I am hoping to get a test ride of the GSXS 1000 GT+ this summer or fall. Would love to hear what you say about these other two bikes. Seriously considering all three of these for my nest bike!
Excellent review, really thorough & a great value bike too. I also liked the Suzuki history & basic economics of the company as well. Most people are unaware of any of that & I think it's important to understand before you buy in to the brand. Suzuki are about bang for your buck & while they may not innovate much anymore, they produce great value, characterful & bulletproof bikes with a 3 year warranty. Simple.
One segment I would like to see on your awesome reviews, is a DIY friendly segment. Either photos or descriptions on how easy or hard core maintenance work for owner would be. For example a big 4. How easy to access air, oil filters, battery and drive system, chain or shaft. That can be a make or break no mater how good a bike is.
Bought this bike last week and love it. I cannot find fault with any aspect of this bike ...even the cruise activation button on the right side, which so many test riders have complained about, is not an issue for me at all! Press the button before you ride off if it is so hard to reach while riding, and consider it a unique feature of the bike. Thanks for a great review, and even more, thanks to Suzuki for making a competitive alternative to another great sports tourer, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.
This is the bike that when I bought it put such a smile on my face I could swear i'd never get my helmet off again. You cannot go wrong with this bike, its a world beater.
Super good review. This is a nice bike and I like Suzuki. They give you a lot of motorcycle for a fair price.
A guy in our riding group has just bought one of these and it really has caught the attention of most of the guys and a couple are looking at them for their next bike. While a bit older and without some of the modern technology I think the Tiger 1050 is a similar competitor.
Looks perfect for you Ian.
Gr8 vid. Ride safe, god bless u.
I like it. I could see having this along side my FJR. Maybe not replacing it. I don't think it would do as well for all day two up riding, and I didn't see a good place for mounting a top case. But for single riding it looks like a blast.
Excellent review! I thought you’d forget about comparing it to the BMW R1250RS, which this bike reminds me of.
very very in depth talk on a very very nice motorcycle that has made very very many waves with perhaps a very very great future looming? :) I ride a suzzie!
Great review
Your reviews continue to improve and are approaching those of the best. Too bad you couldn’t have connected with Itchy Boots on her way through SoCal.
Maybe one day!
Love this bike, love Suzuki. I would like to see a 600cc version of this and the GSXS1000 naked bike.
This Suzuki is one of three bikes on my 'next bike list.' The other two are tiger 660 and Ninja 1000sx. Currently I ride a Ninja 400 '23. While saddling, both felt heavier than Suzuki. I'm 5'7", 31" ish inseam. When a heavier bike fills lighter than the weight, it inpires confidence..!! So for that reason alone, I am willing to forego the IMU on the Ninja and choose the Suzuki. Thanks Ian for helping me to decide on my next bike, the Suzuki GSXS1000GT+
Great info review. I love the GSX 1000 GT, the insurance costs are high. What are your thoughts compared to the new Tracer 9GT by Yamaha?
