  • Part 2 of the Suzuki Launch in Valencia for the GSX-8R and the GSXS-1000GX!
    After riding the 8R, and a lunch break, I followed a group around more twisty Spanish landscape on the brand new GSXS-1000GX. Surprisingly this was a challenge for the cute-little-sports-bike enthusiast, and it took a while to make friends with this bike. In the end, some sugar and a pep talk worked a small miracle and we got on ok!

    If you like the hills around there, you'd love the Picos de Europa - so glorious it's become an annual pilgrimage.

      Thanks! Turns out I just needed some sugar - who’d have guessed 😅 Lucia has inspired me to carry sweets wherever I go now.

    Unfamiliar roads, rain, riding on the right and I guess not much chance to get comfortable with a new bike before chasing off in a pack. Bit of a nightmare really. But no broken fingers or toes so all good. Thank God for Haribo. Entertaining as always😊

    Very brave, I have so much respect for you, that would be my worst nightmare having to keep up with people on those twisties. I may have been riding for 48 years but I ride at my own pace and hate being pushed. Great review and what a blast to be invited to this. I rode down to Barcelona in January and loved it, so quiet and cheap and very warm. Spain was made for bikers.

    Seriously Seriously consider doing a vocal ASMR video for funzies. Your overdub narration settings are perfect for it. Stereo seperation, the central mid frequency clarity, the spacial soundstaging of the narration. It's a winner!
    15-20mins of a whispered story (or softly spoken), low light fixed images or even a black screen etc, no need to be on camera as it were. Nothing to lose in trying. X

    I'm sure you'll get loads of advice on here about rain riding. So here's mine, there's rarely a bad tyre out there, relax and grip lightly. You'll find confidence comes with practice .. Good luck Liz 👍🏻

    How did the bike compare to Pinky… were you impressed with the engine and riding position or are you not convinced about it as a sportsbike alternative?! 😇

    • @R1_Liz
      @R1_Liz  2 місяці тому

      Thanks! I hope so too, it was fun and I imagine these events improve your confidence over time and would benefit my riding as well as my video content.
      I’m much more comfortable with lower bars, I like being tucked in, so although I’m happy riding big upright bikes I am not ‘at home’ on them. I do imagine for a person looking within this genre it’d be a strong contender, it is a fun ride with a responsive yet forgiving engine and the bike doesn’t feel like a big heavy lump despite being over 200kg and slightly taller than others in its category.

    Engine sounded revy, what did you think? Did the power come in all of a sudden? Did you get to take it down a long straight and feel the acceleration?

    Not a fan of wet twisties myself,takes me ages to settle into them so don't beat yourself up.
    You want roads like that (& tighter) try a trip with Canary Motorcycle tours. Great value & ideal for beating the winter blues
