    Suzuki has knocked it out the park with this one the value for money is killer and finally they've made a bike that's not butt ugly 👍

    I honestly can't understand how come reviewers keep talking about the dash and not a single one goes into it and shows how things look and how to navigate it etc...

    A thought after riding and driving for nearly 50 years. The lack of initial emotional connection will turn into long-term love. Trust. Honda has built their entire business off making your bike essentially disappear beneath you; you becoming one with it (which is why the NT1100 will sell well, despite the cost, and will be ridden by the original owners well into the 100Ks). I'd give up those personality traits in a heartbeat for that experience, day in and out. The mid-range in this bike has been described as turbine-like. The ride, even as described here, is smooth and glides over the bumps. Look, if I'm going to spend hours in the saddle, I'd much prefer to leave those other "personality traits" at home and revel in the refinement. Performance, clearly, isn't lacking here, either. Time for a triple, in-depth head-to-head: 9 GT, 1000SX, 1000GT! And put some real miles on them!

    Well done. Great editing. I'm glad you weren't too far along on that bridge since the cager never even stopped to look.

    If I could only have 1 bike it would be the GSX 1000GT

    When you consider its cheaper than a Harley Sportster 883 with 49hp it is an insane deal.

    Great review on a really nice bike. It is on my list to test ride if my local dealers ever get one in.

    Dear mr.presenter, you described the bike so clinically precise, liked my professor of anatomy 25yr ago!!

    Nice bit of Derek & Clive at the end

    I wish they had the twin head lights on all the time, not a fan of only having one, but that's really minor and the bike looks really nice. Bit limited on colours...

    A home run for Suzuki that should sell like hot cakes.I can’t wait to give one a go.👍🏻👍🏻

    Excellent review, enjoyed the written one as well. Good points, especially interesting regarding the wind support for the upper body. Coming from a sport bike it's something I want, but it wasn't clear how the new more upright riding position interacts with the wind shield.

    Thanks for the review. For me the Suzuki has three clear advantages. Firstly the seat height is considerably lower than the SX Secondly its lighter than the SX Thirdly it has more power than the SX. The first two things are more important to me being 29" inside leg plus being old(70+) less weight is everything. Having said all that, like so many other machines today the lack of a center stand is a big mistake when marketing the bike as a sports "tourer". As to poor fuel consumption I guess this will depend on how hard to ride it but keep the revs down and use the torque of the motor and I bet you will get close to 50 mpg but if you wring it's neck (and stay alive that is) probably well under 40 mpg. The pillion seat doesn't look comfy for long distances for the wife and would have been better if styled like a Versys 1000 or Tracer 9 gt but these day style is put before function just like front mudguards that look great but don't stop mud. Hay ho
