Back in 1982 or 1983 a mate bought a brand new 750 or 850 Suzuki with a shaft drive. He toured Europe seven or eight times in three years on that bike. He claimed it was a rock solid touring bike that never once let him down. I remember when he traded in, the guy at the bike shop looked twice at the mileage as he didn't believe his eyes the first time 😂😂😂. Safe cruising sir 👍.
I think they are aiming a bike that is for aging Sports bike riders too, Shows its ankle to them with the 150bhp, totally unnecessary power really for an upright "Tallrounder," but then in that kind of arms race the new BMW M 1000XR is a ridiculous 198BHP!! which must be aimed at Millionaire aging sports bike riders at around 25 large! I kook forward to your review of that beast TBW if you can get hold of one.
Morning Dave, Wish l were a bit younger, like twenty, thirty years then l could get to ride all these bikes...l know some don't like all the electronics and rider aids but in my Motorcycling journey Motorcycles are better than ever in terms of 'Riderbility' .... l bought a new 800 VFR a few years ago...l was amazed at how far a motorcycle had come in terms of sophistication....and that 'Riderbility'....Greetings from España..
You had me at 150HP 😁 Very nice ride indeed. And as always, thank you for taking me along for a ride and review. I do love the sound of inline 4 engines. Ride safe and Take care.
It's about 137HP realistically to the rear wheel. They got more than enough power, but with a new exhaust and a tune you can get about 147HP out of the engine since it's detuned which would then be in sync with suzuki's HP numbers.
No matter which bike I'm riding, when asked what kind of bike I ride, I always say "just an old mans bike". This includes my BMW 1250 RS to my RE Classic 350 and many more in between. At 70 and also 6' 1" I surprise many people. I'm guessing that most people entering the late stages of life tend to ride their "recliners" more. Motos seem to erase age.!! Still thinking I'm 25. YEA.!!!👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
Went out on the same bike today from Appleyards, and also saw you outside the shop :-) Took it on a run up to Route 59 cafe. I found the riding position really comfortable, but loads of wind blast into my helmet which I didn't like. Lovely smooth ride but lacked character for me; I'm used to twins and especially V-twins. Couldn't get the revs above 7k without breaking speed limits, so lacked character for me. Great to see a review from a local, riding the same roads that I'm used to :-)
Excellent review, Dave. I have a Versys 1000 which I rate highly, but I've been considering changing it for the GX. Your review might just have gone to help making the final decision. All the best.
Great looking bike waiting for them in the states. I’ve got a Gen 2 XR this might be my next bike. Have the naked version 16’ brilliant motor when flashed and piped.
I test rode this bike but wasn't too much of a fan of the riding position. I ended up buying the GT+ version 2024 and i absolutely fell in love with it after a 4,600 mile cross country ride. They're basically the same exact bike besides a couple different things, i guess i just prefer the more aggressive stance.
@@k1mura92agreed i tour on an 150 cc Yamaha. over 130 k km never broke down and return a fuel tank range of 700km when cruise at 90 to 100;kmph. slow and enjoyable
Nice thorough review, thanks. I'm thinking about possible replacements for my Kawasaki Z1000SX that offer a little bit more comfortable riding position. This and the Tracer are on the list... No option for a center stand as far as the chaps at my local dealership said.
With it's kerbside stance and appearance/shape, I see a blue Honda Crosstourer with extra gadgetry, but antiquated chain drive, I'll stick with my V4 Xtourer.
Just test ride one on tuesday and ordered her in the same day. I enjoyed the shifter and the engine full of torque even at lower revs, far more fun than my actual Versys 1000
Great video Dave, and a comprehensive test. No doubt a great bike BUT… that price!!? The frame, swingarm, brakes, wheels and suspension are almost identical to the outgoing GSXR1000 sports bike, which itself has remained largely unchanged for 10yrs.. apart from a new set of bodywork Suzuki have just reused older parts. I’d have no problem with that if they priced it at £10,000 but £15,000 is eye watering money. Their own GSX8S which has a brand newly developed engine and frame, with all the time and development costs that entails is half the price. It sometimes seems manufacturers just pluck a number from thin air and add a £ sign… I suspect that PCP is partly to blame. Thanks for the video though, I enjoyed that.
Looks very nice bike Dave I’d choose the green myself and definitely worth a look the engine is proven we all know and a great looking bike if I was to choose it would be between the verseys and this one great bike’s and Japanese reliability great video ride safe
A comprehensive test of the new Suzuki. Faster roads, slower roads, bumpy roads and twisty roads; all taken with aplomb. So a very capable bike then. Love the colour of the wheels and gold forks and the bike looks very nice overall. An abundance of power with loads of torque from the engine. A lot to like about this Suzuki then and I’m pretty sure it will sell well. The best part of the video for me though, is your energy and enthusiasm; a superb video Dave, thank you. Neil🏍👍📷🙏
Can't wait for a test ride! Pretty good machine though. So if a sweet spot is around 5k rpm, will it give 5ltr./100 km? Thanks for sharing rhe experience!
I've missed the boat on that. I'm sad to have to admit that much as I would like a go on it for a day or two my days of wanting that amount of speed and power are gone. My reactions are not what they once were and my knees couldn't handle that footpeg position for long. Shame really. Another enjoyable video Dave, very comprehensive review given the time you were allowed to use it.
I'm a bit late for this one, Dave but glad you've given the GX a go. After seeing your appraisal of the GT last year, I was interested to learn your views of this particular machine. These two bikes, in reality, are essentially the same but with different frocks on. I personally prefer the GT for its more conventional lines, but then again, I'm old fashioned. This GX, whilst attractive no doubt, is really a sports bike whose styling and lines appeal to those who find the 'adventure bike look' a must. Being a Suzuki, however, it'll fulfil its requirements with minimal fuss and provide good value in comparison to its current contemporaries, particularly, to its Tuetonic counterpart, the S1000XR. A fine product for sure. Good one, Dave. 👍
Morning David just a note regarding the problem you encountered with condensation. I've experienced the same problem in the past and have since purchased two outdoor cover's from Classic Additions cover company. These are high quality cover's, not the usual nylon material. I've owned one for around four years and never suffered the problem again. I then bought another bike and have used a typical nylon cover I had and the problem returned with the nylon cover. These covers aren't cheap but in my mind it's well worth the money. Classic Addition's is a brilliant company to deal with and would highly recommend their product's and customer services. Hope this is of interest to you and your subscribers.
I think vstrom 800 has more tractable power and comfort despite being slower but by how much on the road. Undeniably beautiful power plant. After the modern bike I couldn’t go back to RE 350 😊 just me. Too much power for me for road riding. V strom about right. I think suzuki are my favourite engine/ gearbox combos of all the bikes I’ve ridden. Sublime. U can feel its effortlessness in your vid - thanks
I watched your previous video showing your garage. I think that with half a days work, some heavy duty brackets and a few lengths of chipboard many objects can be elevated higher and hey presto - room for your 4th bike - a Suzuki. Come on you know it makes sense!!!!!👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like the sound especially when lugging it. Probably makes sense for me actually, but needs heated grips for sure! Blue should be the only color option.)
Heyup Dave , in what world is it a long distance tourer with a screen the size of a stamp ,also no main stand with chain drive, it's like a car channel where they would say a caterham is a tourer . keep safe TommyTickle ps Suzuki dragged there feet in copying the Kawasaki z1000sx
Nice bike Dave, I do like inline 4s but as previously mentioned, no character. Ideal mile muncher and tourer. I would probably lose my licence on that bike, so easy to go fast and break the speed limit without knowing. 😁
You get to an age were getting your leg over is difficult and that goes for the bike as well. Watching you trying to mount it seemed a shade difficult, i doubt if i could achieve it without a visit to a chiropractor. Lovely bike but question why having the power to go twice the speed limit is sensible or infact needed on any bike.
Watched the video, and I am the mature rider that wants some sporty touring. I do not require the electronic safety net but it might save my butt someday. It is pricey, but will be my last bike, so hey, why not.
There is still the Kawasaki Concours and the Yamaha FJR for sale. These are the old beasts in the 1300 cc range. I think the category you are thinking of is the adventure touring group. This is most popular now. I have a Ducati V2S. Maybe this would fit into the mid-sized adventure touring category too.
Here in Canada (and the States) the full dressed touring machine hasn't gone anywhere. Harley and Indian seem to be the choice for those who want big touring bikes with the Goldwing in the running. I live in Edmonton Alberta where I ride for about ten minutes to get to the edge of the city where the highways are straight, wide and lightly traveled. We have nothing like the carriage roads I see in the UK bike reviews. Having a machine that is good for the "twisties" isn't something I need or want but you can never go wrong with cupholders and passenger thrones.
My main qualm with this bike as a log distance tourer is that it’s not shaft drive, which for me is a requirement on a bike that’s going to be doing big milages.
@@frankiepitt9135 did you not see the bit where I said “my main qualm”? If you’re happy with chain drive on a bike driven regularly long distance at high speed then good for you, for me it’s too much maintenance and cost of replacing chains and sprockets.
Expensive dealer servicing, expensive chain drive , grippy rubber that doesn't last long,this is a race bike with turn signals. Not a touring bike by any means. GP levels of HP required GP levels of maintenance.
Excellent vid, thanks. I hear the in line 4s lack character stuff all the time. You said it and then defined their character! Don't you find this a little strange? You lessened the inanity by saying that some people like this....um....character?
Inline 4 engines are smooth and powerful. Why do people all echo each other about the desirability of this Character thing? 270 degree triple has character apparently. I rode one and am not a fan. But hey each to his own :)
A motorway tourer. Fine for notching up vast mileages on quality black top, but as soon as the map includes sub-optimal road surfaces, I want something I can pick up.
Good review of a nice bike but for a sports tourer I prefer the Kawasaki Z1000SX. You can pick them up new for £9,999 with a 4 year warranty. Makes the Suzuki, and every thing else, look very expensive.
Morning Dave well what a good looking machine from Suzuki 😮 just a few things let it down in my view non adjustable screen ( even a manual adjustable screen would be better) chain drive on a tourer 😢 and second to that if you’ve got to make it a chain drive then put a bloody centre stand on it Suzuki 🤬 good review though 👍🏻 carry on that man Caio for now P.S moto guzzi v100 mandello has all the above 😜👍🏻
Suzuki are quite conservative regarding stability. They just do not want liability on what is a tall bike. I am positive that fitting a top box at your own risk would be fine.
