#Suzuki 1000 gt . The new Suzuki GSX S 1000 GT is selling out as fast as they can be imported. This sports tourer has hit the Kawasaki Ninja sx on the chin and is set to take motorcycle travel in a speedier direction. The #adventure bike market is as strong as ever however, this new Suzuki gt sports touring motorcycle is fast attracting ex sports bike riders back
to this genre.

A great review. Thanks.
ill take that, thanks for watching, pls consider subscribing, cheers
Great stuff as usual mate. Been looking at one of these over the old GSXSF. Lovely bike, great motor. Should've gone to RT1 for a brew 👍.
Hi pal, the old gsxs is a cracker, as for RT1, Left and moved on... enjoyed my time there, all 19years of it, and I enjoy seeing some of the old guard but away from the job... stay safe pal.
Great review, think you might have mentioned you’re k5 once 😂😂😂, just subscribed 🍀
Love my ..... K5,
Rode a K1200S for a couple years, awesome bike but the worst wind buffeting I've ever had. Looking at this bike now. thanks
have a ride on one, I found the screen/ fairing really good.
Nice bike sir!!!
👍please consider subscribing... it'll really help.
Its about time a review puts in a set of EBC HH pads and provides a review. There are lot of reviews frankly none of them are moving the understanding of this bike forward.
If you get a bike with those pads in I’ll review it.
LIGHTS... why oh why cant they have two lights symmetrical lit...like my ninja 1000 sx. still booked a test though LOL
Hi
I have now done 1700 miles on the new Suzuki 1000 gt A few points 1. the brakes are poor no feeling what so ever 2. seat after 100 miles is painful 3. tyres are average at best Got my bike on the 4/4/2022 Ordered on the 5/10/2021 still waiting on luggage phoned Suzuki still waiting on an answer not good Its a great bike the engine is fantastic
cheers

Wow,that is not good. I’m surprised you can’t get the panniers even... and I take the point about the brakes, the one I rode had a similar feel, it needed a Lot of pull on the lever ... I suspected a bit of contamination on the pads / discs but it seems OST riders are feeling the same thing.
hopefully things sort them selves out for you pal, especially after waiting all that time for the bike. too.
Very good review. Thanks a lot! I've been riding a Kawasaki ER5 for 16 years , 90% daily use and it's time for me to change. For what I've watched in your video the handling of this Suzuki in town seemed to be very easy and comfortable. I was almost decided on the Suzuki GSX1000S naked for daily use mainly in town but suddenly the GT appeared on the horizon and the price difference is not so significant ... What's your opinion? Any imput will be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance and saludos desde Gran Canaria. España
I would go for the GT, better specification and arguably better value than the gsx s.
Enjoy the Sun my friend.
You mentioned about the rear seat, I took my mrs from her house to the dealer, about 3 miles and she said it was the most uncomfortable hard seat she’d been on, and we’d done a few days on my previous 1000f and she managed it! I’ve an airhawk pillion pad il have to fit when she’s on the back. It’s def not a 2 up touring bike, which is a real own goal for Suzuki
Thanks pal, it’s good to get some feedback like this, hope the air hawk sorts things... Suzuki are generally very good but this bike is built to a budget and perhaps they have focused on the sports tag more, have a good summer on the bike hopefully we can all get some good days out.
@@36moto ive waited that long, i tested a Ducati V2S on saturday and now am on the horns of a dilema! Not as fast for sure but still plenty fast enough. The dealer has a standard v2 comig into stock and ill decide then once i see it
@@davidhobson7851 v2s, I take it you are talking Multistrada, can’t see the Mrs on a street fighter🤪, the Ducati looks like a cracking bit of kit, sharpening the horns, nice.
@@36moto yea a multistrada, I’d need to bungee the mrs onto the back of me on a street fighter! Lol
@@36moto ended up with a v2s multi….. ran it in over a tour of Scotland, awesome bike!
Another person that realises how good the k5/k6 is. I had a 1000f as well as a k6 and trust me the engine in the gsxs is nothing like the gsxr engine. Not even close
You are spot on, the GSXR K5/6 engine was in a much better state of tune than the GSXs, sadly the new version/ variant has been strangled by emissions and the nimby agendas... give me a good K5 any day, in blue and white obviously... it’s a GSXR
@@36moto I had mine flashed ECU with a full system and it still wasn't anything near a k5 k6
I bet is still goes well though, I agree that the k5/6 were brilliant but the GT is pretty good. Enjoy the summer blasting round on it..
Great Review -
Looks: a lot of modern bikes look 'pre-crashed' - all ragged edges - I cannot see the aesthetic in them.
Maybe its because I am poor - but how is this better *Value* than a clean £2,000 used Blackbird?
All those gadgets would fascinate me. Like...the ABS. lol
Do you know what, you talk sense... a 20 year old Honda Blackbird is still relevant today, and it would probably out drag the new Suzuki very easily, plus the Honda has a centre stand. However, Having Ridden a Honda BB years ago, I reckon the Suzuki has the edge in many little ways which sum up to a more modern lighter efficiency.
Speaking metaphorically The Honda is the aircraft carrier to Suzuki’s frigate...
might make a good review though.
I test rode the gt last week and have to agree the engine is incredible and it rides really well , I did however have a real issue with the brakes , the lever felt really firm and even using alot of lever pressure didn't feel like it was stopping the bike , shame as I was ready to put my order in , if you have an explanation and fix for this issue I'd love to hear your thoughts, great review, you've gained a new subscriber
+Robert Wildman, well, the brake issue was a bit of an own goal, either Suzuki or the cleaner in the shop had been a little enthusiastic with the sparkle polish prior to the ride, there was a thin film of it on the discs( the floral smell gave it away) so the pads were subsequently contaminated too, probably. Sweet words of advice were given... once sorted with a decent dose of brake cleaner the problem went away.
I ran the bike out again the next day after the brakes had been sorted and it was spot on... plenty of feel and stopping power. If I were in the market for a sports touring bike with no adventure bike or off road trails in the mix it would be a contender, definitely.
Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing, it all helps.
Cheers.
EBC pads, and you're on.
Also no remote adjuster for suspension.
hi Peter, again, yep I agree, a remote adjuster for a bike designed for two up touring is a must!
S1000GT or r1250gs for daily use with the odd 500 mile weekend?
mmmm there's a question, I currently run an aging 1150 gsa and as much as I love it for its versatility it lacks that sporst bike thrill. the Suzuki gt clearly has a bit of Gsxr in it.
if you are a road rider and like a sportier stance then the GT has it. if you demand all round capability with the Adventure Bike thing then Its a GS... then there's the money thing, buying the Suzuki (new) is like a 15k 2year old used 1250.gs. like I said its a good question' i think riders are moving back from adv bikes because if you don't neen to go off road why buy an off roader, its a fashion statement. try and get a ride on both and the one you should get will be the bike that makes you smile... both are fantastic bikes, good luck, its not a bad choice to be considering, cheers, pls subscribe and tune in again.
@@36moto went with the GT, brand new 3 yrs warranty. Straight swap for my 3yo GS. I’ll go back to a GS I’m sure, eventually
Great stuff, there is something about a new bike, the smell and feel and the fact you are the only rider to have used it, happy days, ro on warmer weather, ride safe cheers.
Nice bike but not enough to tempt me away from my Kawasaki Z1000SX.
Absolutely. Its subjectively as good as the zsx but not better...
I'm contemplating between gsxs1000gt and the gsxr1000r. I don't do track, just daily ride to and from work. I really like the look of the gsxr1000r but the GT has more comfort and has longer range, better fuel economy. it's gonna be my first suzuki bike...what should I choose??I can't make a decision
Crikey, what a question, now there’s a choice, if the Gt is a Range Rover sport , the GSXR is the Aston Martin vantage. These bikes share a badge but may as well be from different tribes... I had a 2005 K5 GSXR 1000 (and did 13000 miles in 12 months on-it, loved it.... one of the best road going sports bikes ever. - and that 17year old bike would arguably leave the new GT standing today, and the new GSXR 1000 is better still. If you like performance and looks, and a sports bike feel perhaps you have to scratch that GSXR 1000 itch. The GSXR might not be winning races on track but it’s still up there with sports bike glitterati.... The GT is a much more practical everyday bike that is plenty fast enough to entertain but it’s built as an allrounder, the GSXR is not an allrounder, it’s a race bike with lights.... to this day I regret selling my K5, but i don’t miss it when I’m 200 miles into a days ride... but it’s a gixser 1000, everyone should have a GSXR at some stage, it’s an iconic bike... the GSXS GT will do distance and fun... and to and from work. So, ask yourself this, if you are riding to work on the GT and a new GSXR 1000 goes by what are you going to say to yourself... ? Mmmm “right back at ya....”
@@36moto thanks for the lengthy reply. I do feel like the GT is gonna be better for me for everyday use. But like you said, there's an itch for the GSXR, and I probably won't ever own a legendary GSXR in a very long time if I chose the GT, and the one available for me is the 100th anniversary version from the dealer...
If I'm on a GT riding to work and I saw a gsxr1000r. I wouldn't feel so bad I guess, cause I have more comfort, and the GT has a lot of poise. But I would be thinking what it's like to ride that gsxr
Vice versa, if I'm on the GSXR and saw a GT, I would think that, yea that's a nice bike, maybe it's better if I should have that instead. But hell im on a gsxr😎 something like that..
Maybe I should just go for the GT?? What am I missing here if I don't ever own a gsxr?
@@bittersweethood its a nice place to be, both are great bikes and brilliant to ride, enjoy ... let me know which way you go... Happy choosing.
@@36moto I put the deposit down for gsxs1000gt! I value practicality more at the end!
@@bittersweethood Good stuff, the Gt is a cracking bike, its hard to argue when you get that much bike for ya money.
Starting to feel that the best touring motorbike you can get, is a compact car.
probably better on fuel!
@@36moto safety, music, wind protection, passengers, luggage. And you'll actually use it.
@@RowanGontier safety is subjective, protection yes. Music is ok, ( I have comms and Spotify on Bluetooth) passengers- ride alone and enjoy me time... no nagging. Luggage- don’t need much, but I get your point, motorcycling is more of a lifestyle choice rather than a practical transport option. Just like driving a compact car or a SUV is... the beauty of life is the ability to choose...
@@36moto For sure. Great reviews.
The review is good and I thank you for it, but your driving is terrible, crossing lanes on roundabouts and overtaking on hatched markings when the car infront is doing the limit. Stuff like this gives bikers a bad name, probably not a good idea if you want to do professional reviews.
Thanks for you feedback, but I will politely disagree, it’s a perception issue, you can’t really see what I can see and feel from just watching my videos. Ride safe ...
@@36moto how does perception change the fact you overtook a car clearly doing the limit based on your speedo, on hatched markings, which from a legal standpoint is more than questionable. Hatched markings are only to be used where absolutely necessary, it was not absolutely necessary to overtake a vehicle doing the limit. So you can disagree with me all you like but you're still wrong, sincerely an instructor :)
Like I said, thanks for your feedback... and for watching...
No Topbox, no centre stand, no shaft drive.
Hi Peter, thanks for watching, if you've not had chance to ride it yet I would urge you to have a go, its a goodn. Regarding your observations, I use a top box on my bike regularly but its a personal choice, as for the shaft drive, the GSXS 1000gt isn't a shaft drive bike but I do agree that a touring bike aught to have a centre stand, but a look under the bike shows there is no space to fit it, its all the euro exhaust rubbish and as Suzuki have placed the bike towards the sportier end of the touring mkt I can forgive them. This bike actually appears in the "Sport" category on the Suzuki web site.. next to the Busa which i sort of feel is appropriate. cheers for commenting, one of the best things about bikes is we all like what we like...
cheers

You want too much for not much money!!
@@summerforever6736 no I want practicality.
@@peterdane9138 a car will do that
@@summerforever6736 clearly you are happy to accept the bike in its flawed form.
