    I just picked up my GSX-R1000R. The suspension, tuning, and the quick shift make a heck of a difference. I hope you get to ride one soon. It doesn't need many mods. I have to dial in the suspension, the exhaust (of course), and tank grips. Ya, a little reflash will make a world of difference. To me, the tank tank grips are important. I'm leaning on the front a little too much and a set of grips will take the pressure off and help the handling characteristics. I really like this bike. A lot.
    Good review. Rubber side down.

    • @RidersDomain
      @RidersDomain  Před 7 lety +1

      Hi - good to know - let us know if you need any help selecting a set of tank grips. Thanks for watching and the comment. Enjoy your new GSX-R1000R.

      Does it help in landing a girlfriend? I was thinking of buying one so the chicks would like me better. I've got a lot of cash.............

    • @64t120r
      @64t120r Před 6 lety

      I found, because of the shape of the tank and where my legs/knees are positioned, I had to cut a 3 piece grip. I used piece of snake skin grip material. It's some pretty sticky stuff. When I put them on, the bike instantly became an amazing twisty machine.

    Great explanation of its technology. I'm also a fan of the GSX-R mold - Suzuki makes great bikes.

    • @neuroplasticity
      @neuroplasticity Před 7 lety

      The only thing that puts me off Suzuki bikes is the debate about how they have the most problems out of all Japanese brands. Especially electrical problems which imo is a huge pain in the ass.

    • @ChrisJohn_444
      @ChrisJohn_444 Před 7 lety +2

      NOOBRIDERR Really? I've had 2 GSXR 750s, I have a 2009 GSX-R 600 and a 2008 GSX-R 1000, and I haven't had any electrical problems. The only problem I've had was on the 600 - the spring that holds up the kickstand started to lose tension, but that had an inexpensive, easy fix.

    • @neuroplasticity
      @neuroplasticity Před 7 lety

      lmao yeah I guess it's just the biased haters spewing bullshit. Still I love my R6. I love all bikes. Ride safe man, crystal method are the shit btw

    • @ChrisJohn_444
      @ChrisJohn_444 Před 7 lety

      NOOBRIDERR I haven't ridden one, but the R6 gets a lot of admiration. It's pretty track focussed from the factory, though, so it's not the ideal setup for streets. Then again, the supersport category isn't the absolute best for street riding. I've also tried the CBR 600RR and I didn't really like the ergonomics of it. The RSV4, though, is a pretty sweet ride even for the street...I just don't think the seat height is really practical (for many riders) for traffic/stop lights, but the ergonomics and ride quality make up for that. Same to you, btw, I hope your R6 treats you well.

    Yamaha made the R1 exclusively for the track...and made one of the best track bikes. Suzuki gsxr you can use for the street and circuit too.

  • @jimmansi1187
    @jimmansi1187 Před 7 lety +2

    Adam, another stellar review. I love this bike & wish I could afford one but I'm still very happy on my 07 gsxr 750. 24,000 trouble free miles. I love your comments on street riding, my cruiser buddies just don't get it but at 55 yrs old nothing comes close to the gsxr for me. Look forward to more reviews!

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah those are solid rides for sure. Feed 'em brake pads and tires and you are good to go. A new clutch pack makes it feel like a new bike too, fyi.

    Good day Adam, I especially love how you break down the specs and capabilities of these bikes. Spectacular in every way. However today I have a heavy heart after learning of the demise of the lady vlogger after being thrown off her bike while negotiating a corner at 80 mph (according to reports). I checked out one of her vloggs and incidentally a subscriber had two months prior, warned her about the same stretch of road that took her life. And that's why I'm writing this. I don't know if you already do this but I know you have at heart the same concern about the safety of your subscribers and all riders at large. I would like to see more emphasis given to the safety specs as well. Just a suggestion bro, you could maybe inform us on things like why the tyres are the way they are (the type and the safety thereof, the treads, non treads, thickness 120 front 180 back etc), rev limits, the purpose of inverted shocks vs upright shocks, the brakes! ABS & non ABS versions, you know the drill bro. This is so that above just exciting prospective buyers on the speeds and the quick shifters et al, they may also know the things that will make the difference between life and the here after. It will never be worth it if the investment in a motorcycle only leaves one with life long injuries or even absent bread winners just because of adrenaline rush. It ain't worth it. I hope I have helped in even the smallest of way. You have the platform bro. You could even bring on board staff members of these manufacturers to break down these safety features for us if you have that leverage. Just this added responsibility will be great and who knows how many lives will have been spared in this way! Oh and another thing, a lot of us could also benefit with some hands on driving skills that I know wasn't given in schools. This could be another potential grey area for a lot of new riders. Again bro, only suggestions. Thanks and stay on top!

These bones don't bend these days..But I can only imagine the dam speed & handling the offer today. Kids ride safe, SHIT happens quick.

    • @XenoformII
      @XenoformII Před 7 lety +2

      It's a direct competitor to the S1000RR and is kicking ass in endurance racing and MotoAmerica. It's not going to be a heavy old relaxed bike like the Ninja.

    • @exothermal.sprocket
      @exothermal.sprocket Před 7 lety

      The rider ergonomics on all of the superbikes are much more committed than the Ninja 1000 or other sport-oriented sport-touring bikes.

    Adam, I love your Arai helmet that you wore on the track and want to purchase the same one. Is it custom, or do I have the opportunity to buy it? If so, can you please tell me the design.
    Also, I really love the gear you wear on both the track and the road. Being a new rider, I don't have much gear. It would mean so much if you could go over what you're wearing so I can purchase the same or similar pieces and not buy things that I'm not going to be completely satisfied with.
    I know I'm asking a lot, but it would mean so much to me.
    Thanks, and keep up the great work!

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 7 lety +3

      What's up Sam? Thanks for the props on that. Tag over at Tagger Design (phone no. 951-674-8000) did a bang up job on that. He's got a talent that I could never have.
      Yeah man, this is a custom-painted Arai Corsair-X helmet. I checked in with him and he can paint you one like this or with different colors for around $650. You supply the helmet. His work comes out best on gloss black, but gloss white is okay too. Try to avoid a matte finish to start from.
      And if you need a Corsair-X, you can purchase one here: www.jakewilson.com/p/4688/57939/Arai-Corsair-X-Motorcycle-Helmet

    Adam if you were spending your own money for one bike for street would you buy 1) R1 , 2) S1000rr, 3) standard Fireblade or 4) GSXR1000R?

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 6 lety +1

      What's up man? I would buy a S 1000 RR for general street use. Would try to buy a 2015 or newer model without the DDC suspension package, if I could find one. But if I couldn't find one or it was too expensive, that base GSX-R1000 wouldn't be a bad choice.

    • @theincrediblesulk5543
      @theincrediblesulk5543 Před 6 lety

      Adam Waheed thanks for the response yes I remember an old S1000R review you did where you were not fond of the DTC. Great news tho as a 2015 S1000rr is much cheaper #winning. Keep up the reviews your doing great work

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 6 lety +1

      Yeah it was the DDC specifically on the single-R. The RR's version is actually very good for street riding - the only time it doesn't work good is when you're really getting after it at the track. If there was a savings for the mechanical suspension then I'd get that, as once I find my set-up it usually stays. But if you can't find it, or it is the same price as the RR DDC, then I'd choose the DDC.

  • @exothermal.sprocket
    @exothermal.sprocket Před 7 lety

    Adam....do you feel the removal of an engine counter-balance shaft added some annoying vibes?

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 6 lety

      Hi - that's a great question. Yeah, it was a tad bit more buzzy than I remember with the old bike, but certainly not bad. Maybe like 5-10% more buzzy -- so it's not a deal breaker IMOP.

    • @exothermal.sprocket
      @exothermal.sprocket Před 6 lety

      Nice to know. I guess since engines are usually assembled with assembly-line parts selection, each engine doesn't get blueprinted for the most optimal and perfect crankshaft and rotating equipment balance. Whatever piston and rod and pin and bearings they select is what it gets. They are very good, but not perfect. One modification I've read about that people do with high performance upgrades is balance each piston/rod/pin +/- a gram per crankshaft journal to achieve ultimately more HP output and less stress on parts. Vibration robs power from the rear wheel.

    Hey how would you say the Gsxr 750 stacks up against this Gsxr 1000?

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 6 lety +1

      Well, I have a soft spot in my heart for the GSX-R750. It's probably my all-time favorite sportbike ever made -- even though it is pretty long in the tooth at this point. GSX-R750s are cool because they offer 600cc-like handling with a bit more mid-range and top-end, with virtually no weight penalty.

      Adam Waheed So I’m really trying to decide which to go with a GSXR 1000 or GSXR 750..

    • @AdamWaheed
      @AdamWaheed Před 6 lety +2

      I'd look around for a 2011 or newer GSX-R750 and buy that. You can get a clean one that's lightly used for seven or eight grand.

      Adam Waheed ok that makes sense and it will be my first bike !! I’m like you I have always love the different iterations of the GSXR. Now is about time to own one

      Adam Waheed I’ve read that Suzuki will be bringing a new GSX-R750 (along with a new Hayabusa) in 2019.

    Suzuki is missing big time in the 300 cc segment! I can only imagine what this finesse in a 300 cc would be like👌👌🙌

    • @RidersDomain
      @RidersDomain  Před 6 lety +1

      And soon the 400cc segment too if Kawasaki's latest move is any indication where the "small" displacement sport segment is going. Would be cool to see the GSX250R bumped up a bit at some point in the future, but it's a pretty solid bike for its class though.

    • @Jambome
      @Jambome Před 6 lety

      Riders Domain thanks bro. But the 250 is trashed a lot for its weight that affects every other aspects of performance... What you think?

    • @RidersDomain
      @RidersDomain  Před 6 lety +2

      I think performance can be taken a few different ways. My take is that Suzuki developed the 250 to be more of an beginner machine/urban commuter than a well-balanced "performance" motorcycle in the class. In that respect, the larger fuel capacity, longer wheelbase, roomier cockpit, intuitive and easy-to-use controls, stiff-ish suspension and mellower power delivery (compared to some of its segment rivals) all make it pretty well suited for managing lower speed rides on beat-up surface streets. And that's not to say it doesn't deliver some fun in the higher revs in the twisties, in the hands of more experienced riders. I think in a comparison against other small-bore sportbikes it clearly falls short, but on it's own it serves a purpose and is a pretty well-refined package all around.

      I rode a 2016 Bandit 1250. Beautiful machine and engine. Too bad they discontinued it. Hope for a future overhaul using the same engine.
      I rode just about everything Suzuki makes the last couple years at demo rides. Because I'm not biased like that.
      Adam....any chance we can see a 2018 V-Strom 1000 on this channel? I appreciate the good well-rounded knowledgeable reviews. It's nice to have a journalist who's familiar with the market needs and also the aftermarket trends in mods. Stock bikes often don't stay that way. Good indication of what's baked into the new stuff that often only takes a few dollars and a little knowledge to unlock.

      Or check out Suzuki's GSX250R - ride that for six months, master it, then sell it and upgrade.
