Save for the electronics I would take the 15 anyday. That headlight design on the 15 is sick IMHO. And you have no indicators hanging around. Neat and clean. And I love neat
Excellent video. I'm a huge Suzuki fan. Stared on a 1996 gsxr 750. Just sold my K5 and bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R in white. I do love the blue. White is what they had. Not a big deal, it's growing on me. Nice to see the previous progression. I wanted one after 2017. It really is a 30 year refinement. This suspension is better than my car. It's soooooooo fast. It's crazy fun to just let it rip. No rear hugger and no rear seat cowl thrown in like back in the day. That's my only complaint. I don't give a shit about a color screen and Change the can. Perfect
I love the classic beefy tail, analog tach, and headlight of the 2009-16, but definitely love the side profile of the new model and that's about it. Prefer either engine and could live with or without the VVT. Old is better for the street. The new one is like entirely dedicated for track and not 1 bit for the street.
I feel the same way my guy, however my 18 is finally starting to grow on me. It’ll probably never be as nice looking as my old 2011 tail section 🤷🏾♂️😬
Great review Bro! So pumped to be back on a bike again. I bought a 19’ Gsxr 750 back in January, and plan on riding it till January or February and moving up to a 1000. Again, definitely enjoyed your content and insight into the Gsxr 1000 platform. 🤙🏼
Hey! Thank you! Glad I’m able to help! Yeah I’d stick with the 750 for a little bit then bump up to the 1000. But to be honest the 750 is the best all around bike!
Yes Sir, and what I have been enjoying is that it only has A and B mode, no ABS, traction control,Etc… so it’s forced me to rely on my skills and focused on becoming a better rider. I have learned more in the past seven months, then I ever did when I had my first street bike back in the late 90’s. Thanks in part to people like you Eric, that take time to help others. So great full to have all this knowledge and information at our finger tips.
Hey great video. I had a quick question, what gopro camera mount did you use on your windshield, because I recently bought a gopro mount with the suction cup but it kept making a clicking noise when I'm riding my bike
I own the 2015 model and it has ABS. I prefer the looks of the older model, I suppose I wish it had a mileage range that’s all. It’s soo fast however yet so comfortable
The two do NOT make the same hp, MAYBE bine stock, but were talkin with a filter tune and exhaust the newer models put out about 185whp and over 190 on MR12 fuel whereas the '15 puts out about 165-170 with a filter tune and exhaust.
This engine still has a counterbalance shaft. It's going to be smoother. The newer model didn't really gain any torque in the mid range, it merely retained the torque, with additional gains up top in spite the shorter stroke engine, different valve train and cam profiles. With the removal of the counterbalance shaft on the new one, more buzz. I don't like more buzz. Personally I'd go with a 15 or 16 with really low miles. Just me.
Lifted_Above Yeah when I rode both they feel similar in power. I do feel the newer one pulls a little harder up top. I personally like the look on the newer model. 🍎 vs 🍊
@@itsmeericb It would. The centrifugal force at higher RPM drives the VVT ball bearings out in the race, advancing the cam for the top end. It's a simple, elegant, effective, and mechanical system Suzuki used for valve timing advancement.
Your 2017 Gixer thou was developed by myself across Europe from 2005 to 2015. The design was given the Suzuki GB in April 2015 but the Suzuki team. Refused to pay me for my design!! In doing so, I never gave them the R&D data. So every racing team has a -10yr development lesson😂😂😂. My payment was 10% for every unit sold & 2x free bikes for the next gen Gixer1000. The current bike with the correct package and parts. Is the fastest bike for both Road and Track.
Can someone who's 6'3" and around 300lbs chime in with one and post feedback on how it rides and how you fit on the bike? Because I absolutely love the looks and everything else about it. Where I live tho we dont have any big dealers around here.
I like the 2017 and up for sure.. but I like the signals on the mirrors and the rear intergrade on the generation I got. Definitely not a fan of how the front headlights of the older one but like you said it’s better than the 600’s and 750’s for sure! I’m looking into trying to change my front end and cover up that big ass headlight 🥴😂
I like both. I do favour the Triton Blue colour of the older model. I had the 2018 750 and it was awesome. Had plenty of thousands but the 750 was sensational around corners. In fact i had the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja H2 before the Gixxer and it was a beast for sure but not overall as good fun as the Gixxer. I thought about the 2017 Gixxer 1000 for a while but went for my third Hayabusa instead as i sometimes have my wife as a pillion and its the best all round motorcycle in my opinion. Thanks again for the review mate look forward to more your videos Cheers from down under Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍
Anyone who has tried both the new motorcycle and the old one could tell me if there are differences regarding the vibrations felt in the handlebars; I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and I can't stand driving my BMW S1000RR because of the vibrations and that's why I'm looking for a softer bike in that sense (but I don't want to stop riding a sportBike 1000cc)
is here someone that owned few gixxers? Like comforwise, is there are difference between 600 750 and 1000 from 2009+ to 2015? IM lokking for a comfortable ( as possible) supersport
I have the same exact bike 2016 planning on changing the sprocket what gear ratio is best for street as i want to increase torque and lower the RPM any recommendation
Yes I agree . I have a 2017 gsxr 1000 , I haven’t been able to power wheelie that beast , so I clutch it up. The longer stock swing arm I’m not sure I’m a fan of ? My old 2005 gsxr 1000 , now that was a fun ride , power wheelies at 100km in second gear. Still getting used to my 2017, but man does it launch off the line and the front end gets all light.
Heard of a guy once who hit a bird, it went through his visor and knocked the guy out, while unconscious his right hand opened the throttle wide open, which led to a 100mph+ crash. He did survive but broke many bones.
I think I'd opt for the version you own. The generation before your gixxer doesn't have LED's although that's a cheap upgrade. The older ones don't have optional ABS either. Awesome video
It’s crazy because there is option to get a non ABS model in the newer version. I don’t think mine has it. I locked up my front tire at the dragon and went down. Cornering ABS would be nice too.
I own both the 2012-2016 is a little more comfortable and you sit slightly lower . The 2017 -2024 is a little taller , it does everything the 2012-2016 does just a little better . They are both Amazing bikes . My 2013 has 180hp The 2023 has 193hp. They both do over 186 mph .
Aight so I raced my first litre bike. But it was a 2015 gsxs 1000 with a full system quick shifter and a tune. Two races from 20mph to 150mph.the first one I absolutely crushed him the whole entire way and the second race I let him start 10ft in front of me and it was the same thing. Absolutely crushed him. Yes I know his bike isn't a Supersport but it has the 2005 gsxr 1000 engine in it. So hopefully next week I get a chance to race my friends r1. He will probably beat me but not by much. I'm a really good rider and I clutchless shift when racing.
Yes that's 100% correct. The transmission gearing is much shorter and it's set up for torque not top speed. His bike is also geared 1 down 2 up so I expected him to get the jump on me but I'm guessing because my first gear is so long I started in it and he started in second because of shorter gearing so that also gave me an advantage. But either way the victory is nothing to brag about but it was good practice for when I race the gsxr 1000 or r1.
Well I bet you 1000 to your 0 and I’ll spank u trust me iv been riding gaxr’s sense 2001 I have a 2014 gsxr1000 full SC Project system ,Sprinter filter, velocity stacks, Brocks clutch package , sprocket set up, upgraded Q pump and injectors, 4 inch stretch and lowered , and for Dino and ECU flash by Chris Moore, Oh Port in polish head
i like the older ones because it has the turn signals in the tail, suzuki had to of been hit in the head with a metal bat then said ayo ima get rid of the most convenient thing on our bikes to make it a little more annoying for the people who buy this bike
Man it’s weird how taste can vary so much. The new GSXR’s are the ugliest in a long time to me personally. The tail is lame and kinda ripped off the 2012 Fireblade. The headlight looks like an asshole compared to all other eras and most other manufacturers. The 09-16 is easily the cleanest most aggressive looking era. And that tail with the seat cover on...MMM!! The lines are menacing. And there’s just a faint curve up making it look so so so good.
This 2015 bird light looks absolutely gorgeous! Better than the 2017 butthole light. Also the 2017 version looks a bit chubby compared to the old one and the other 1000s. The 2015 one without those fancy features is a beautiful relikt of old times so please to every lucky owner of one of those, take care of it, love it and trust me every new fancy stupid H2 is good on paper but actually nothing compared to the beauty with the bird lights of freedom! ❤️
200 vs 185. That’s not a little bit more man. That is a big difference in power. And that’s restricted. Any bike unrestricted will make more power obviously but the 2017 is HEAVILY restricted. It’s not even close bro. The 2017 is a monster.
riding is absolute insanity. I live and ride everyday in los angeles and I've been hit by 2 cars..... What we do is just madness, there is no way around it. Over time, we learn how to evade those situations, such as you did in this video.
Seems like you know nothing about riding oh the feeling of Freedom when you ride a bike is absolutely worth it, I've had crashes but simply love to ride and I have three cars!
am i going to hell for cracking up when the bird hit you? I recently became a suzuki fanboy after running kawi's for years. I have a 100th anniversary edition gsxr750
Which body style would you choose?
the 2017 man. its neat, and stealthy...
Sri Fz Yes new model has an led headlight. Mine is not a R model but it still comes with the led light.
I prefer the 2015 but not in that color scheme
💯 the 2017-on never been a fan of the old gixxers aesthetically.
Save for the electronics I would take the 15 anyday. That headlight design on the 15 is sick IMHO. And you have no indicators hanging around. Neat and clean. And I love neat
Both are absolute beasts indeed ,but new one looks stunning and has vvt tech for god top end ,higher hp etc thats a great deal
Excellent video. I'm a huge Suzuki fan. Stared on a 1996 gsxr 750. Just sold my K5 and bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R in white. I do love the blue. White is what they had. Not a big deal, it's growing on me. Nice to see the previous progression. I wanted one after 2017. It really is a 30 year refinement. This suspension is better than my car. It's soooooooo fast. It's crazy fun to just let it rip. No rear hugger and no rear seat cowl thrown in like back in the day. That's my only complaint. I don't give a shit about a color screen and Change the can. Perfect
From the front i like the older one , from the rear I like the newer. Not a fan of the long exhaust pipes.
Same for me too
I love the classic beefy tail, analog tach, and headlight of the 2009-16, but definitely love the side profile of the new model and that's about it. Prefer either engine and could live with or without the VVT. Old is better for the street. The new one is like entirely dedicated for track and not 1 bit for the street.
The 2015 design is a great bike of you know the secrets of the bike. With setting her up for both road and track use
Dude awesome job with all the info you've provided, God bless you brother!👍🏿
Thank you! Glad it was informational!
It was dumb to get rid of the integrated tail lights and signals in the mirrors. I got a 20 that blue color
I agree. But the new one got the digital tachometer. I think that's more responsive than the analog needle rising and falling.
I feel the same way my guy, however my 18 is finally starting to grow on me. It’ll probably never be as nice looking as my old 2011 tail section 🤷🏾♂️😬

Hey great video. I had a quick question, what gopro camera mount did you use on your windshield, because I recently bought a gopro mount with the suction cup but it kept making a clicking noise when I'm riding my bike
Thanks! I was using the GoPro suction cup mount. Just had it in a regular case. Might have been on a swivel mount as well.
@@itsmeericb oh ok, yea I bought a gopro mount as well but it kept making the clicking noise!🙄 but thx!
I still like the old gen, the new still hasn’t grown on me, the 17 just doesn’t have it.
Maybe not look wise but on the pavement it’s a beast. Most definitely got it power wise
I own the 2015 model and it has ABS. I prefer the looks of the older model, I suppose I wish it had a mileage range that’s all. It’s soo fast however yet so comfortable

Good watch. Great to hear your thoughts. Hope you can do more content. I like the few videos you put out.
Thanks! I try to mix it up a little bit.
Great videos man. Subscribed ✊

Need you to do a first ride on the 2018 honda cbr1000rr. Preferably with a ecu flash.
I did one on a 2017 CBR 1000RR

Wheres the dragon tail vid, from the kid that met you buy the lambo at tapoco
I haven’t edited it yet! 😄
I love my 2014 gsxr1000 black to death.
I have the same one
@@miketysonjr7144 we can't complain about our machines. 🥰
I pefer the tail of the old one. And the integrated turns. Agree on the throttle..! The new fly by wire just isn’t as good feeling.
Do you know if you can fit the fairing of a 17 gsxr1000 to a 15?
You sure buddy? That’s exciting, hope it’s true.
I think they extended the swing arm on the 2017, keeps the front end down.
I’ve noticed it doesn’t power wheelie as easily.

You’re year model imo is a much better rounded bike aesthetically and mechanically than the older 2015.

@Justin Voluck You're definitely right bro. My fault, just looked up a 2016 and boom there it is hahaha.
Does L5/6 comes with abs system?
I don’t think it has ABS. May need to search the web to verify.
Bro I can’t believe you just got hit by a bird lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah man that was crazy! Lol
57.1mm of stroke vs the newer one with only 55.1mm. The old one has a torquer engine
I own both the 2012-2016 is a little more comfortable and you sit slightly lower .
The 2017 -2024 is a little taller , it does everything the 2012-2016 does just a little better . They are both Amazing bikes .

Overall looks front exhaust old is best
YOU HAVE SOME PATIENCE BROTHER. I'D HAVE GONE AFTER THAT B-TCH AND GIVEN HER A PIECE OF MY MIND. LOVE YOUR VIDS.
Haha! Thanks!
Same power ??
I don't think so 😅
Torque is the same. HP is a little more on the newer model.
Either one are both badly restricted. They bot need e u flashes n a tune. Go from 160hp to 190hp rear wheel.
You are correct. I am going to do a full exhaust to not only gain power, but cut weight as well. Then I need a dyno tune.
The 15 gets nowhere near 190 to the wheel. Not without engine work. The new ones for sure tuned with full “bolt ons” and MR12. A little over actually.
Older one for me
2015 all the way
2015 model biutifol! 👍 2017 model agli far 👎
Lucky it was a tiny bird. A blue heron hurts waaay more
Felt like a bean bag!
Tests two superbikes by riding them down the highway and shortshifting every time, with shit tyres on both and massive chicken strips. What a knob!
Haha!! Where would you like me to take this bike a dealer let me test ride? The track? 🤣 🤡
Your hp rating is so wrong
2017 is much more appealing.
200 vs 185. That’s not a little bit more man. That is a big difference in power. And that’s restricted. Any bike unrestricted will make more power obviously but the 2017 is HEAVILY restricted. It’s not even close bro. The 2017 is a monster.
All you need is a tune at 185 and you’ll be Dam near close
