I'm an experienced rider - racer, I rode this bike at the Canadian dealer press launch.......it is simply brilliant. Full stop.
Paul Thompson It seems the general consensus from people who actually know what makes a bike good love this thing. Poseur riders don’t get it and that’s fine. Bargain of the decade for sport bikes I think.
Do you think the naked is a bad bike compared to the F?
@@Surpriseify the F is better 5 kg in front makes it handle better. Just watched 2 UA-cam reviews which stated that. Look the review with most views. It's an Indian guy. But perfect English :-)
@@Surpriseify they even say the same in this video mate!
I own the naked. It handles anything I can throw at it. The bike does a good job at deflecting wind, it sticks to the road and I think looks good. For my riding I like the naked better.
Excellent review on a great bike. The biggest sleeper in motorcycling...
I like the look, real sporty sports tourer and it's nice to be different! Thumbs up Suzuki! 😊👍🏻
"Didnt make my trousers tent" I had to look that up. Lol. Your country has the best expressions.
I love this bike. It does everything just right. As far as the front end looks. I like it, the front end reminds me of a Falcon, a mean one at that. Works for me. :)
Falcon, possibly a Hayabusa Junior
this is better quality content than big magazines such as MCN
Most underrated Japanese sport bike currently on sale. Such a bargain and so much performance.
What is a bargain vs fair price for these?
@@Diwash1 In this market I could only guess. They were a bargain when new at $10k so considering inflation $8k would be solid.
Is it just me who likes the look of the front end? :/
+wowrogue192 yes
+wowrogue192 I kind of like it, too. Evil parrot.
+wowrogue192 me like it 2
+wowrogue192 Front end looks fine, the windscreen makes it a little odd but im sure there will be offerings that could change that look. I'm liking that it is in a class unlike anything else, bridge that gap between categories, and im in the ,cough cough, over 40 category and I honestly would like something more fun/different then my GSXR K1.
+wowrogue192 I don't like it because it doesn't seem to join the rest of the bike in agressive looks.
I would love to see a comparison review from you guys comparing the GSX-S1000F and the Z100SX. A proper unbiased review would be great.
i believe i watched this review way too many times i still come back to watch it every week till i get one
I'm 34 and love this bike. I've had sports bikes in the past, this is on another level and comfortable to ride.
Excellent review! I have been riding a S1000F for the last 2+ months. It’s an awesome bike! Handles great. I set the TRC @ 1 and the bike grips the road so good. Lot of power across the board.
How do you like the seat and the rider's position? Thanks in advance.
I own a GSX-S1000 ABS (naked version) and could not agree more! It's fun, it's so easy to ride and for under 10 grand it's got to be a bargain! Took mine to Tuscany and wouldn't want any other bike on those twisties.
The planted front end might have aerodynamic reasons too, it seems they have put some tought into that front fairing. it would make sense for it to be more stable than the naked bike.
baron i just love those tea chat reviews (as u call them)
very intersting and great to look at
Fantastic review. Really enjoying the mix of fb and bvg style of content. Looking forward to more!
Fine review; smuggles in relevant and informed opinions without collapsing under the weight of detail. Brilliant editing. Among other bikes, over the last 40 years I've owned four new Suzuki's and not one has looked aesthetically pleasing from every angle . . . and some would say from any angle. Face only a mom could love? That may keep a few lingering in the orphanage, but it won't stop everyone from filing the papers. This review makes me think that if I could find a demo or a gotta-sell with a few character scars I'd buy one tomorrow.
I have been watching reviews of this moto for a few years and I quite like the front end and fairing. It is a little Angry Bird-ish to be sure but I like it. This particular review is one of my favorites. These guys RODE it at speed and liked it. Many other reviewers never seem to get it out of third gear (which admittedly is illegal and tougher to do on speed limited streets). I would love to have one.
I really like this style of reviews! Great video :)
It's refreshing to get a review from real people who understand motorbike performance.
Is that the Baron himself giving the interview?
I LOVEE that old large analog key. One of the things i miss with every bike that comes with a keyfob now days.
I just loved it the front end. Like falcon..After 5 years riding with the VFR . This thing is a completely a blast. Great feedback from the chasis, what is going on right between your legs and wonderful grip.And the stock exhaust sound it's fucking awesome., just awesome.
Very nice video I love the casual conversation about the bike, go on this way
Mic problems wasn't an issue to me, I understood you guys just fine. I liked your down to Earth review, I've been curious about the F model and I learned a lot here. Thanks.
Seems to be a good mix for the
Street & some track fun weekends !!!
;)
Well done guys !!!
The Hambugler comment and the key being a sword had me cracking up. Thanks guys good review! I wasn't expecting to laugh really hard twice!
Love my Gsxs 1000, recently dyno’d and made 142bhp at the rear wheel, that’s somewhere around 160bhp at the crank
great natural conversation. so rare these days. thanks
Thanks for sharing gents, I enjoyed that review.
I almost spit my drink when you said "Hamburglar", lol.
Excellent review. Funny, a little banter, real riding, good back and forth, opinions given but not presented as more than that (how it looks from the front). Good job. I have not seen many of these bikes out there (Wisconsin). Which is too bad as it really sounds well executed.
The front end doesn't look good. You blokes have to be kidding right ? Its way better than its bug eyed competitors that's for sure
great review guys!
I think the looks of this bike has the same issue the Bandit1250S does. The lines of the bike don't seem to flow well from front to back, but the back looks REALLY good. Also, like the Bandit - I'm just not sure how to fix it.
Perhaps if it were more of a modern interpretation of a late 80s GSX-R....they also could have done something to recall the original Hans Muth Katana.
The naked version I rode certainly ticked all the boxes from the cockpit, but I think the guys make a good point in the video. If Suzuki would have really done something special with the styling, they may have had the big hit they've wanted (or WE"VE wanted) for a long time now.
9:19 Wow, bone stock that sounds amazing! I've been on a 2007 Honda 919 for about 6 years and bought it with a shorty Graves exhaust welded on it sounds amazing but the thing is LOUD. I can't ride without earplugs, lol. It's nice to know that newer bikes can sound so good with a stock exhaust that looks good, too!
Time to test the updated version and the GT, gents 🤗
It's a comfortable sports road bike with some wind protection [not a race replica or even a proper sports tourer]. You can tour on it or take it to a track day and be quick. If you don't mind the looks it's a really good sporty all rounder.
My brand new leftover from 2018 will be delivered next week. :)
Fantastic review, subbed..
This bike does make my trousers tense haha, keen to get one when my licence allows.
Great review and I quite like it
The front looks the bit like a scooter but i think it looks great from a side profile view. Id say its a rocket too with that old K5 engine
It's a standard. Standards, to me, are inherently confidence inspiring. They're easier to hang off of because you get greater benefit from just getting your butt off in a deep than having absolute perfectly technical body position. And so you have the confidence to ride at a higher level even if a supersport is gonna have marginally better top performance.
The situation you want top sexy looks and when you ride it comfort ,speed ,confident feeling from the get go... still looking and keeps me changing bikes !
Just watching old content till the next upload.
Excellent video!!!
Just bought a gloss black 2020 model can't wait to get it
Great review, Bike is much faster and better handling than I thought, Cheers Mate!
since my english is better, it's joy to see every video of yours. i'm looking for an upgrade of my sv 650s and i think here it his, plus for the look i'm agree with you, is the lack of Twin lol, but i tested the N version it was smooth and nice. Its a bike you are not afraid to park in big cities and i like the configuration roadster + fairing, it's seems the perfect stuf to both city and long travel in hollidays. the wrong thing i think in the design in front is that strange buble. suzuki release a black shorter version, really nice look for streets. Also the 2017 version have 10 more hp and more torque !
I rode one today, usually ride a Tiger 1050 and have a Cagiva Raptor 1000 in the garage as well.. this thing is mad.. doesn't feel like they de-tuned it for street it's aggressive when you twist on the throttle..
I think it’s quite good looking from end to end. I don’t understand the opposition to the shape of the fairing at all, it’s just as attractive as the FJR in every respect. Throw a set of bags on it and you have an excellent Sport Touring Bike. I plan to purchase one to have an option living beside my FLHT. The FLHT for comfortable traveling with my wife and the Suzuki when I need to boogie across the land quickly.😎
I know Baron's a fan of the s1000XR, have you thought about checking out its competition the Kawasaki Versys, has a similar/slightly tuned down version of the Z1000 engine you guys talked about. Think you might be surprised about it, I've been scouring the interwebz to see any reviews on it and there aren't very many. I'd hoped to see a bike that good get a bit of coverage
Great review
I love this bike. Only thing stopping me getting one is the price.. it's a shame they don't do this in the 750..
Would like to see a road test of the Honda cb1000 if you have the opportunity too.
This body with the z1000sx front fairing lol and Im sold
Bike looks very interesting and I kinda like the less aggressive handlebars position
I thought it was an awesome upgrade to the original 1200 bandit. I felt the same thing when I rode that back in 96, cheap and cheerful but works well as a package
🔑 "It looks like a sword!" 😂 Wow who knew a key could be such a "turn off" no pun intended, great review...
I think it looks great! In fact that's the first thing that grabbed me...
Love your sense of humor lads. Not bad for a brit
Hope to see a review on the new SV-650 when it comes out :) Pretty cool it's kind of a throw back.
Hope they make an S version of the new SV
No plans to review the suzuki gsxs 750 ???
Front cowl reminds me of the Fazer 1000 (FZ1) from the early 2000s
So với z1000 thì chiếc nào hơn vậy ban?
Could you test out a hayabusa for my amusement please. Thankyou.
Great review!
i just bought 2016 model yeasterday.... I love it so much
One small point. When riding you don't have to look at its beak. I love this bike, so much I bought one and yes the F angry bird model. Direct face on is the only angle from which this doesn't work. From the side profile it looks fantastic and clearly like the falcon concept they were aiming for. Great review.
Cool my Man, How do you like it?? They have a 2016 model here with $2000.00 knocked off, I want it, being 50, I can't really see myself bending down so much any more, or at least not for a lot longer, this bike seems Perfect for that problem!!! Hope you answer, I'd like to know what someone who owns the bike says after it is Broken in and they are having some fun with it. Happy New Year to you!!!
I had a test ride on this bike when it was launched and was surprised how they have captured the spirt of the gixer. I had a k6 from new and it took me back to those days. Shame about the nose but I guess when you are riding thankfully your not looking at it.
"There's nothing else like it".....how long was the FZ1 (Fazer) in production? lol
its a supersport/super touring, bike like the ducati supersport?
excellent point there. the 7 kilos in the front making it that much more planted. 7 kilos is actually a big no. adds to its front wheel steering stability.
Abhinav Vivekanand without riding it, purely on observation, the comparison was made the F version felt more planted than the naked in front due to the additional 7kg. I would say it's more to do with the added down force of the front fairing design F version, vs the blunt dam front of naked.
Great review... I think the front end looks amazing.... lol...
I just bought one, very happy so far. Great review.
Richard Walmsley Would you recommend this for a rider with a years experience?
Bredaxe yes, it's very light and easy to use. You don't need to rev it like mad to get anywhere. Lots of low down pull. Good on fuel to about 150 miles per tank. Some 16 pre reg ones brand new still at £7400 for sale join the gsxs worldwide fb page or UK one for advice from people that own one.
Yes, Its got lots of low down grunt and is an ideal first big bike, 150 miles per tank. for more info on the bike join the gsxs owners worldwide or gsxs owners uk face book pages
I'm definitely going to look at one. A dealer by me has 3 in stock for $7k and a used very low mileage one for $6k. I like the idea of ABS, traction control and the upright bars. I'm in my 40s and not a hooligan so the sport touring option is perfect for me.
Hey im 53 ! its lightweight to only about 210kg, my last bike was a vfr1200, that was faster top end, but not as quick on acceleration as this, lots of gsxR riders have swapped over to these as they are more usable around town.
You gives us more info than others. Sufficient for me to make decision.
Just bought another one in blue and black, just had the ecu done at msg it made 163bhp with lextek downpipes and Leo vince exhaust
Hey guys, not sure if you look through the comments but it would be nice to see you test out some more starter bikes around the 250-650 range. I know you did the 125's but it'd be nice to see something you might not grow out of so quickly! Personally i've been looking at a Honda CB500X as my first bike here in Australia, and would be great to get your opinions on the similar options if you can. Cheers guys!
The CB 500x is a great beginner bike and you get the Honda build quality and reliability. Any of the cb500 are great it's just up to the style you want. Don't make my mistake and get a ninja 300 it spent too much time getting fixed and the build quality was terrible. Also have a look at the Yamaha mt07 and the triumph street Triple 660. Get the most powerful bike you can afford so you can get used to the torque of bigger bikes like this Suzuki.
+nothing to see here couldn't agree more with ya, im in the uk and restricted to 47 hp so dont know if there is a limit for you in terms of starting license but i am about to buy the cb500x very practical very fun solid as you want. mt-07 are great little machines aswell! safe riding to you!
Has anyone here ever ridden a Suzuki bandit 650 injection model and also this gsx-s1000f and if so can you tell me if this bike is much like the bandit (only more powerfull) which are the biggest differences? I'm thinking of upgrading but i really love my bandit 650 or should i replace this bike for my kawa Z900 (which really sucks in my opinion) just curious for biggest differences between this bike and a Suzuki bandit, so if anyone knows these please tell
I own and ride this bike. Watching this interview, the rider in shot makes sense and seems to know what he is talking about. The man off camera making fatuous remarks about the shape of the key and how he doesn't like the look of the front of the bike was wise not to show his face because then we would know what a poltroon looks like.
Great review! It's just hitting dealers here in Los Angeles. Can't wait to see and test ride one. I have to agree about that monster ass old school key. WTF was the design team thinking when they signed off on that design?
how does it fit compared to the MT 09???
Definitely my next bike as well as keeping my 1000 k6
It's a brilliant bike,very under rated,what i like is the bare bones of motor cycling, I personally can't stand the huge cost's of these bikes and cars which are packed with of electronics, but of course if you only rent them and move them on when the warranty runs out you don't have to worry especially for old guys like me.
This or the z1000sx. What is your choice?
Delivery driver u-turned into me right as i entered my neighborhood and totaled mine with 500 miles on it.... it was a GREAT bike.
Like how you guys get right to the bits and pieces of the bike. A little odd to have the camera man speak more about the bike than the guy in front of the camera. Still loved the video.
Really think you would be better buying one of the super nakeds like the s1000 and attach the touring screen job done.
ok I want one :)
I like it ... a lot. If I only had myself to think about, and not 'er indoors on the back. I'd seriously consider this rather than the z1000sx ... which is basically the route I'm going to go down.
Z1000Jeff I am looking at these 2 bikes. Did you get the z1000sx? Did you test them both with pillion?
Absolutely nailed it mates. Except front looks, this bike is awesome.
However, identity crisis?
Dont think so. It's a road sport bike like the Ninja 650/1000 or Ducati Supersport.
Not as extreme as a race replica, not as bulky as a sports tourer.
The spiritual successor to the GSX-F Tea Pot, GSX1100EFE and GSX750ES. An honorable tradition of being great bikes which are hideous.
Totaly i buyed a gsxf750 a few days ago great bike and i love the looks
Convincing me to want to buy one. Like now.
Great channel
Is the engine Buzzy above 5,000 rpm?
the best value for the price on the market i think!
Guys would you be I terested to test ride my 2015 cbr 1000 rr abs ????
can you turn the anti wheelie off ?
I had the GSXR1000 with only changed crownplate + handlebar (original superbike-kit)..same as this one..it was a dream to ride..I sold it and buyed me the Suzuki B-King.. :)
Dude, the key is long as it has to access a recess to be pushed fully home, hence the large fob so extraction is easier. something else which is quite obvious - a large key is less likely to be lost.
your criticism of it is at the very least super picky. i have owned a 2018 model for three years now and it is the best bike i have owned.
