I'm happy they kept the K5 engine. The newer GSX-R engine will add cost and complexity, but no gains on the road. Suzuki's newest products are absolutely killing it for practicality and value in my opinion.
I was looking at the 750 a little while ago but ended up staying with Kawasaki and bought a Z800 instead. Always had Suzukis back in the 80"s and 90"s.
I dont have an issue with the k5 motor. Its one of my favorite I4 motors of the 2000s. Im thinking full exhaust, tune and air filter will put this girl into 160ish hp.. thats plenty of power for me. I might have to buy one.. never liked the old models design but this one is a lot better
I'm glad they've kept the engine. It's the best in its class. 19-litre fuel tank! Love the stacked lights. Wider bars. I hope the new electronics package is restrained. Quick shifter/blipper = good development. Good dash. Who needs a TFT? The litre inline four I'd buy if I wanted one, especially at that price.
Top quality video Chopsy - raising the bar once again what with your fancy slick green screen effects - I am in awe of you - other channels will be quaking (not quacking) in their boots seeing what you've done here! With regards to the bike, I bet it rides beautifully, but oh cripes they've really mullerred the looks of the bike with that front end....that said, I'd like a go on one!
Andy, mate I tend to agree with you on the looks department. It’s almost un Suzuki like with an attempt at a KTM with a bit of the original Katana thrown into the design. Doesn’t work for me as an ex Suzuki racer. I’ll reserve my final judgement when I get to see it in the flesh. One great point is keeping and fine tuning that old K5 engine. I remember being at Phillip Island during pre-season testing and it was producing quicker lap times than any of the MotoGP bikes. All unofficial of course... 👍😎🇦🇺
I really like this bike. I know Suzuki takes a lot of flack for not innovating or putting out brand new bikes, but they seem to be making the right evolutions on their flagship bikes (talking vstrom 1050). If they can do the same to the vstrom/SV 650 lines...
I just love Suzuki for being conservative and classical, especialy with this bike! Just loving it. So i hope they keep in production for 5-6 years! =) As i said on the previous video, i just found you chanel, and i subscribed imidiately 💪
Nice to see that Suzuki thought of the poor bikers like me to keep it reasonable and not to fall into to trap of too many gizmos, too much power and putting it out of reach for many. They have kept a powerful up-dated bike affordable. That's the litre bike I was waiting for ! Well done Suzuki ! Let's hope it's a good ride as well and I might be on my way to a Suzuki dealer.
im not dissapointed they didnt use the new gixxer engine. part of the draw here was the engine to begin with and its more than 99% of us can handle effectively anyway. i like the updates and hope to see a 'f ' model as well. I like the new bike reviews. Keep it up . 100k subs on the horizon
In my opinion poeple don't appreciate the K5 engine enough, yes it is 16 years old but it's been heavily revised, it's still a great engine in today's standard, the power delivery is silky smooth and a lot of low end torque (I've got the current model Katana), the intake howl just sound sexy. So whoever complained about the K5, I think you really should go and test ride one, it's better than the cb1000r (with the 2007 fireblade engine), and 150hp is not shy.
Suzuki sticking with their usual way of doing things - V Strom, Hayabusa and now the GSXS......It’s probably still a great bike but what happened to innovation - they used to be right up there leading the pack. Entertaining vid Chopsy as always
Yes, you're absolutely right. 4 kg heavier than the previous. 2 hp more, but at 1000 rpm more (152 hp @ 11.000 rpm ) ! Torque down -3 Nm than previous ! Disappointed big time. Why not the rims from R1000 (guess saving 3 kg in all) . So now you pay roughly 1600 € (in mainland Europe) for extra 4 kg of full LED, ride by wire, new plastic + gastank (design) and a QS ! What's missing here : A derated VVT engine with 150 hp and the original 119 Nm of torque. Cruise control. 6-chanel EMU and the weight of the GSX-R1000 and the final one : Electronic suspension. Sorry Suzuki. This is old wine in a cracked bottle.
Clearly this update was based on a set, not to exceed sales price so their hands were tied to a certain degree. That said not everyone wants an expensive super naked motorcycle with the extra HP that can’t really be used on the street anyway.
This thing is typically cheaper than a street triple and more inline with an MT09. It has always been a lot of bike for the money which has made it hard for me to commit to the Honda CB1000R. After all I just need a no frills bike to commute on daily which is also fun and capable.
Top stuff as always Chopsy. Smiles per $$$ I think this is a winner. Now in the looks department I think the front could use some work, but the shot of it dead straight on looked quite good. Look forward to more reviews on it.
What a bike for the money,Suzuki do great value for money,when I got my 1250 bandit new in 2016 I got it with full luggage fir £7999. Think this will sell well it looks fantastic.
I've got the previous model and absolutely love it............it looks like i could be upgrading to the 2021 version 🙂👍 Great honest opinion of what you think of the machine Chops......Good job.🙂👍
Looks good. Hopefully the 750 will follow suit - a 100cc increase on that bike would make it vastly more competitive in the segment, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up for anything other than the updated styling and the new dash.
the GSXS 750 is completely fine, it just definitely needs the GSXR750 state of tune. Suzuki says the GSXS is tuned for low end and midrange but in reality it's just less powerful all around, it makes marginally more power below 5k at the cost of a tons of top end power
Exactly what i said suzuki never change anything they modify old stuff or change a couple things from an existing bike but always look pretty much the same. The command button look cheap also
This GSX-S Thou smells like it actually has some fairly significant improvements and well worth a proper look once it lands - A serious tank range (halleluyah!) and a super low slung pipe that doesn't limit (or melt) luggage options and significantly improved suspension all mean they have been serious about producing a fairly agile (almost-super) naked high speed twisties touring machine - Range should be superb and this is where most of the super naked competition almost fall down or at least create a lot of undue stress when roaming further afield - These extra electronicswould all support that use very well too - What other nakeds have this sort of sports capability and touring range for that price?
I quite like the looks of the front end - almost like the love child of a Katana and the new MT-09. Cracking value too considering the spec! And for the love of God, can we have a whip round to get Chops a decent roll of gaffer tape! :D
The shadow image at the end of your video definitely resembles a super duke 1290R. The K5 engine is all she needs :) An Imu would be nice though for advanced lean angle traction / braking etc.
Nice review Chopsie. Don't take it as a criticism but I hope you drop the background music next time. You're still the best bike reviewer in the UK. Cheers from Melbourne 😎👍
It's awesome they increased the tank size, they may have learned their mistake with the Katana lol. For the money compared to the other bikes this seems like a winner IMO
Stunning machine, pukka bit of kit! You've encouraged me to start my own channel for an MT-07, as a new rider and the various mods you can do with it! #MaidmentMadness Keep up the great content!
@@yahyaabushaheen589 That bike felt like the best kept secret. People hated the look of the hawk nose front end, but they didn't know that it gave the bike more front end stability and downforce in turns over the naked S model. Plus the added bonus of wind protection.
Will the GSX S750 receive a similar update?.... Stop press !.... Does this mean there are deals to be had on the current bike ? As it's now 'old stock'...
Not fussed on the stacked headlight. Saying that, the 999 broke the mould with that and it took time but it's accepted now. Horses for courses I guess.
I have a 2016 GSX-S 1000 ( mods I have personally installed : M-4 exhaust, Brembo 19 RCS Corsa Corta, Lightech R Adjustable rearsets tail tidy used the factory licence plate metal bracket + bike protection R&G, evotech have also but haven’t installed yet Dale Walker Supertune o2 bypass and K&N air filter got the front Forks revalued and one day would like to replace the rear shock. Long story but overall great bike! Also am disappointed they didn’t do a ground up GSX-R current engine GSX-S. Great vid though Chops and the tape bit was funny 😆👍
Hi Chops, In my opinion I think the jury is still out...at least until we can see this bike in the flesh. Promotion images and video can only show us so much. I was about to buy the 2021 model in black to update from my current 2016 model. So now I’ll hold out to see it and then make a decision. Don’t know when we’ll see it here in Australia probably at the end of the year. One of the better videos covering this new release 👍🎥...thanks Chops.
Kind of like the old model I think they actually look better than expected in person. Having the headlight low on this bike gives it a really meaty stance and removes focus from the headlight itself.
Love the green screen format Chopsy! Realise this is just "first look" format, improvising as you dont have the bike, but it's also much better / clearer in some ways and allows for a much more systematic assessment of bike / features than the trusty industry standard "rolling helmet review" imo :-) - Get to see the bike more too - Like the way you've mixed the location you're presenting from on the screen as well - The lower left "cameo" (eg at 3:20)and the lower right insert alternating for interest works well, as that offset to one side allows for a good look at the bike and elements you are referring to at same time - Good also to mix that up with your central shot for more general discussion as you have - Really nailed it - Be great if you have time (and inclination!) to integrate this format with some brief highlights from one of your typically excellent hands-on ride reviews as well! Would combine to create a great review I think
Thanks buddy really appreciate the feedback 👍 Yes I thought it worked quite well like that and interesting idea to do something like that with a full on bike review... cheers buddy 👍
Looks like a Grom had a juicy sleepover with a Superduke.
I have to admit, I do like it!
I love this new headlight, man. It’s like transformers!
Ugg the headlight is terrible. Unfortunately all the manufacturers have gone full retard on headlights recently.
@@nickaslanidis6156 I think it's much better than previous model.
Try the yamaha mt10
Looks like an autobot
@@Bow-to-the-absurd it’s the first autobot but I’m not a fan as much anymore. Still a dope bike.
@@nickaslanidis6156 I’m aware that it’s not for everyone, but, it’s for me so that’s all that matters 🤣
Love my 18. Spend $1000 on a shock upgrade and ECU flash and you're golden. Amazing engine, extremely underrated bike.
Wow.
Suzuki is Evolving and WE LOVE IT.
What else could Suzuki when they release the GSX-S 1000F 😱
£11k is a great price, I think the bike will be a lot of fun and 150bhp is bang on the money for exciting yet manageable power for a naked.
19L tank omg thats so good
I'm happy they kept the K5 engine. The newer GSX-R engine will add cost and complexity, but no gains on the road. Suzuki's newest products are absolutely killing it for practicality and value in my opinion.
No gains on the road?
What a crock!!
Man I’m super excited about this! I’ve had the 2015 750 and currently have the 2020 750.
I was looking at the 750 a little while ago but ended up staying with Kawasaki and bought a Z800 instead. Always had Suzukis back in the 80"s and 90"s.
I dont have an issue with the k5 motor. Its one of my favorite I4 motors of the 2000s. Im thinking full exhaust, tune and air filter will put this girl into 160ish hp.. thats plenty of power for me. I might have to buy one.. never liked the old models design but this one is a lot better
I'm glad they've kept the engine. It's the best in its class. 19-litre fuel tank! Love the stacked lights. Wider bars. I hope the new electronics package is restrained. Quick shifter/blipper = good development. Good dash. Who needs a TFT? The litre inline four I'd buy if I wanted one, especially at that price.
It's a Suzuki...all those World Endurance Titles are theirs for a reason....ask Ducati to show them theirs? Will run for decades!
For the price, I think suzuki has done a great job.
never been a fan of the GSXS, but this one looks nice, different, i hope it gets better components than the last ones
It’s got new suspension and the gsxr1000 swing arm now

The Suzuki blue colour scheme is one of the best looking on any bike
I always thought for the money the bike was a value purchase and now it appears to be better
I really like this bike. I know Suzuki takes a lot of flack for not innovating or putting out brand new bikes, but they seem to be making the right evolutions on their flagship bikes (talking vstrom 1050). If they can do the same to the vstrom/SV 650 lines...
I always forget to ask. How did your make the comic book intro. It's epic!

Great bike decent price. Handles really well ,confidence inspiring. That was the old bike so the new one must be even better.
This thing is really gorgeous. Reminds me of SDR1290
Wow, Suzuki did what Yamaha has been trying to do, a very attractive futuristic design..
Nice to see that Suzuki thought of the poor bikers like me to keep it reasonable and not to fall into to trap of too many gizmos, too much power and putting it out of reach for many.

They're known as the poorest MX bikes on the market and yet they continue to just refine it. Must be selling enough of these polished turds...

Surely if they are making the front,easy to put it on the 750 too?
Brilliant well done Suzuki
No doubt it's a good bike but that bloody headlight 😣 Great review as always chops
Great video Mr Chops looks like a great bike with a lot of potential. Stay safe mate 👍🇦🇺
This is without doubt the bike that want in my garage be it an older one or the new one I luv it can't wait ta see ya out on one soon cheers : )
I enjoyed the history bit in the beginning
Man I got a 2020 gsx s1000. Luv it! Not sure I’m digging that headlight set up on new model
カッコ良すぎる...
The front of the bike reminds me of a 2016 Honda grom but this one went to the gym.

When I look and hear about this bike: I see early-KTM duke styling and and bunch of tech waiting to be retrofitted to a 2005 gsxr ;0) Thanks Suzuki
Think she looks great, love the improved styling but there's some bargains now on the outgoing model, very tempted. Cheers Chopsy
Since 1997? That’s incorrect. Suzuki have been making fast naked bikes since the early 80s starting with the GS1000...
Front side wings look like the 2017+ superduke and front light is similar but evolved version of the 2015 superduke
Been waiting for the official video all day, but you seem to have beat them to it!

Sounds good mate, in real world road riding, wouldn't need more than 150hp anyway, great that they threw in the quick shifter and modes awesome

May be different but same $$
