- Thanks to Haslemere Motorcycles I got the chance to ride the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT for a couple of hours. This is a real world prospective on this machine not a "how fast is it" review.

I’ve been on 52 bikes over the last year (bike photographer) and I traded my Indian Scout in for a GSX-S 1000F, which is the predecessor to this bike. It’s one of the best handling bikes I’ve ever ridden, and crazy comfortable. It easily plays in the same room as the BMW S1000 and Aprilia Tuono if you want to be naughty but at £2500-5000 cheaper. Would love to try the GT! I wish it had more grunt down low, but at 8-10k it’s an animal hahaha
That's funny, I'm also a photographer for Indian, and riding hundreds of bikes I still prefer my GSX650F over almost anything! Love the Scout and especially the new Chief. Still sticking with my Suzuki.
Needless to say I'm very excited that this new one has hit the market. Might just be the best available at its price point, just like it's predecessors.
Find a cheap old Bandit 1200 for a second bike and enjoy torque so much your adrenaline will be oozing out of your pores ;)
@@ljoelmchanley3676 I’ve heard great things!!!
I have to say this is the BEST Suzuki GSX S1000GT+ review I have seen. I am considering this bike, ok I have already placed an order and your review just confirmed it's a great deal. You didn't just ride around you actually rode the bike like a real person. You were even cut off by that van dude- damn! anyway, thanks so much for this review. The camera's are great and yes, please do another review in the summer!! That shift smoothness is insane.
Did you ever end up with one i just dropped a down payment on one today and waiting for the 2024 to drop
I have waited for your review for this. I absolutely love the idea of this bike, its very much one I'm interested in
What a fantastic machine,a true all rounder,great video.
Fantastic review!
Nice ride. Did not expect this bike this soon. Anyways, I already like it. :) Keep up.
Thanks for the footage and review. Looks like a nice bike.
Great review Spicy 😎👍🏼 This is on the shortlist for me along with the Tracer 9GT and Kawasaki SX for when upgrade time comes around!
Great review spicy 👍
Love your videos bro😉
I very much enjoyed the review. Your review of the 1000F is what convinced me to buy one. Best of luck.
Hooray!! He's back!! A motorbike video 🙂
Just liked and subscribed. Enjoyable real world review for a shortish ride time. Covered most bases..another fast talker like TMF so some fast listening required! Like that bike a lot..that’s the best colour too…ride safe..atb
Looks great. I'll keep my GSXR750 as long as my late 50s body can tolerate it, but its good to know this is waiting in the wings with more comfort but just as frantic in the upper rev range.
I've been intruiged with this one since first announced. Will definitely be looking to test one out in the spring. Good to see a bit of a re-birth in the sport touring segment happening.
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Great video spicy bet you had a good time riding this mean machine I still own my ninja
Didn't see this in my feed, but I saw the community post 👍
Can we all just appreciate 3:23? This is some great situational awareness while riding. You stayed where the driver can see you, and I really do think a lot of people (riders and drivers alike) would just nestle themselves right into that blindspot.
This bike is gorgeous. Seems like such a tame machine........ Until you roll the throttle lol. Litres are something else man, absolutely nuts.
Thanks for noticing! It's little things like that you have to do you just have a better ride and not end up in situations.
@@spicy110 Not to mention the white van at 14:27.
I like this bike a alot thanks for the review and a fan from India for you 👍😀
Thanks God I will buy one for myself
This bike seems impressively smooth
I wonder if Suzuki is in the middle of changing its decision to send the Triton Blue to the US.
It is hard to do fair reviews in winter on a new to you bike, but you seemed to nail it on this one Spicy. Be brill if you can get to review it for longer in the summer where you can enjoy the grip levels better and get more miles on it.
ordered one in october being delivered monday after nearly 6 months
Interesting ride thanks Spicy, not seen one in the flesh yet, but I think Suzuki are onto a winner with it - now if only they were to produce a Red one or better still the Ecstar livery?.
Waiting for mine to come in. Dark blue in the US. I am done with black, so no Ninja for me and I've been on quite a few Kawis. Don't care about IMU etc, never had one. 10 more hp than N1K and hard bags are only $650 more from the factory in the US. $1100 if you add them later. One of the best TFT screens with an analog tach I've seen. No vibrations mentioned from any journalist. How can you go wrong?
I'm waiting on mine as well.... I don't understand why they won't ship the Triton blue to the U. S... I love that color... Will have to settle for the darker blue...
@@jmackd1 and I like the darker blue!
Great review nice bike and for a good price a bike that would suit everyone 👍
Excellent review! I have a 2023 gsx s1000 and I love it! I like the F version but the S version got my attention and went with that.
Thanks for the great review I am 6ft 3 myself so was interesting to see your views on it .I just ordered one today and delivery they reckon is may time for mine
Man, I've been missing your bike videos!
As the weather gets better expect a lot more reviews but also a lot more videos on my bikes. 🙂
@@spicy110 4c down south we are getting 10c in the north.
looks like a contender for my next bike. Currently riding a naked and could do with a little wind protection, too old for a sports bike and dont want an adventure just yet. This seems like a good middle ground.
i'm sure Suzuki told 44T that the GSXS-1000F was aimed at "a bloke in his 40s", it's a hoot to ride but doesn't make your back hurt
Trading in my Z900 naked for the new 1000 gt+ looking for a bit more comfort and storage so I don't have to wear a back pack to go to work
@@chrisdavidson911 Thats me then :)
@@RickyLafleur10 Did you ever sell your z900 and buy the Suzuki gsx s1000gt?
@@motorcycleislife8296 sure did and real happy with that choice the suzuki is a lot more comfortable and love having cruise control and a quick shifter. The quick shifter is so smooth
There are so so so many good bikes on the market right now..... it's such an amazing time to be in the market for buying a bike.
My dream bike
bravo pour l'essai👍
That blue is just magnificent; wish we got it in the USA :(
I've just come from the Ninja 1000sx 2023 to the 24 version of this bike and I have society this is much more the riders bike. It's definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing
That. Is. Gorgeous...
Nice bike
What one could have if only one had loadsamoney 🙂 fantastic vid spicy 🙂
Mentioning your height by 1:29, must be a record 😉 great review.
Sub'd. nice quick review. I'm torn between the GT and the naked "S". Leaning toward the "S" because 95% of my riding time is urban commuting or 1 day'rs so I think it makes more sense..
Nice review & a decent bike. I like it. I don't think it's a better sports tourer than the Kawasaki 1000sx & still needs some evolution to match it but the Suzuki does seem to have more character & be a bit naughtier/fun possibly.
La ktm 1290 súper duke gt , no tiene competencia
I’ve looked forward to a vid on this bike, and even more to doing a test ride myself, although I’ll wait til it’s a bit warmer. I’d love to know how a real sized pillion (not tiny stick insect) feels on the back.
Keep up the good work on all subjects, except the memes, I just don’t go there 😉
I have the same question. :) Otherwise it is a nice bike. Just if going to buy one, it is necessary to ride it first. Drop by buddy.
Would love to see you review the New Macrais Z8X 2023
Good review. Would be good to see pics of you on the bike to see the ergonomics and how the bike looks with a tall rider on it.
That's very tricky on my own. I am a one man band after all that's why I like the 360 cam
Thx for doing the review. I was up in Liphook to see family, but didn't have a chance to drop in to the shop, now kicking myself !! Question for you, I had a GSXS1000F (one of the originals), and like the naked version, the engine sounded burblingly wonderful. Have they muted it more for the GT, or do you think it is the same ? I know you've tested the naked recently and the faired some time ago (I think). Currently am seriously thinking of going back to this one as they have fixed the looks which is the one big gripe I had (whale-looking at the front). Only negative that stands out to me, is it is totally daft that they don't have easy to adjust preload on the back as they are aiming for pillions - I guess they may sort this in a future update. Not a deal breaker for me. Oh, one other question, is it still has flickable as the previous model and naked one ?
Could you describe again what the amount and type of vibration it has, at different RPM's.
Thanks for this great info. I already ordered one too.
Hey dude, thanks a lot man! Really nice package
It seems to be a very grown up and sensible machine.
You mention the Vstrom 1050…what are your thoughts between the two? Obviously ignoring any off-roading potential, just basing them for the street.
Is there a new/newish bike for sport touring that is less than 1000cc ? I love the idea of a sport-tourer or less aggressively positioned sportbike, but just not keen on a big big engine.
Once the 1050 XT gets this TFT and this quick shifter it's game over!!
A272 at the point you rode it is not a Narly road.
The Bell Hill Road is far superior. Bends, long straights (nationals) with a nice tight technical section through the forest gets you really feeling the bike. Also the B2141 is a very picturesque, bendy national road as well👍
The B2141 is epic, I've noticed you and Lamb Chop Rides both have used that in your videos @RevZolution
I mean the surface texture.
THANK THE LORD!!! Someone my height is testing a bike I have in my line up of choosing
imho a sport touring without the possibility to install a center stand it's a deep malus. Discharged.
The most underrated bike of 2020 imho, only bike that had this spot was the z1000sx, but Suzuki did it better imho
How'd you find the handling vs the naked?
This is the bike to buy If you l want something that works in real world.
More torque, more usable? Boxer engine ⭐. Reliability?
Everybody I have seen do a evaluation of the bike keeps talking about power and thrills. I want to know how good is it as a long distance commuter bike. Can you ride the bike for two hours without getting tired. Is it good at going over bumps on the highway without getting thrown off track. Does it offer good has milage. Is the maintenance expensive.
Fond of your impression of the quick shifter right at the beginning. I am a manual or dct guy and the much praised quickshifters of the GS and RT I found to be rubbish.
Which would you have in your garage the GT, Katana or the standard GSXS 1000. Or the 750.
750 but I love smaller engines, in the 1000's the GT
Does anyone know what the plus sign means?
Where ?
Great bike but no centre stand. Also missing lean sensitive abs.
nice
H2 SX SE vs GSX1000 GT ???
Now I'm pretty stuck on wether to get this bike or get the yamaha tracer 9 GT
Sounds like time for a couple of test rides 🙂
Dang........dude has graduated to real bikes! All this time, I thought he only knew little 50cc to 125cc Chinese motorbikes. He proved me wrong. Proud of you, son.... proud of you. Hahaha.
yer about 6-7 yrs ago.....
I have ordered the new GT+ and of course I wonder how much legroom there is? I'm a tall man myself and am 6.36 ". I have for the sake of order bought extender footrest set from Moto-CNC by 30 mm. extended.
You commented that the windscreen hit you in the face. Was it unsightly with wind noise and turbulence, or is it okay to drive with the original windscreen without having to switch to a lower or higher one?
I would rather the wind hit my chest more full on to be honest, as there is no way a screen is going to be tall enough for me to get the wing over. With it hitting at head, I did get a small amount of buffering but not excessive. Then again my helmet may not help this.
@@spicy110 Ok. Then I know. I reckon that some adjustments to the windscreen will be needed.
Thank you for the answer.
I also have one on order in the US. I love the look and details of this bike and just praying it has a good fit-and-sit for me at 6'2, 250, 32" inseam.
If your peg extenders work out , PLEASE send me a link. I struggled to find them. I am also planning to get the touring screen to crush some comfortable miles on East Coast US.
Great vid. Terrific comments!
awesome bike i love it ! ! ! fantastic view from insta 360 i enjoyed it your video fantastic superb ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Will you have any comments on the headlights performance?
No, as this was a very early review bike I only got for a few hrs in the day time. The production bikes have not landed yet.
I test rode this on sunday just gone, ordered one before the moment they took orders before even riding it, im glad i did! how did you find it with a peaked lid? and they have put the luggage as a kit now, its call the GT PLUS :)
How tall are you Lewis? :) I am also interested in this bike. Drop by buddy.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace I'm 5,9.. its hell of a stretch to adjust the mirrors for my short ass 🤣
@@lewisflynn4800 Thanks Lewis, I am 6.1. I hope for the handlebar position, I mean that is not putting too much weight on the wrists. :) This is my main concern. What do you think?
@@RRRRefuelRideRace As spicy mentions, its not as leaned as you would expect looking at it, it's most definitely worth a test ride, I would even consider test riding the new naked as it uses the same power plant, the only thing missing from it is the cruise control
@@lewisflynn4800 Agree. Will try to arrange one. :) Thanks Lewis. Can check my content. Ride safe buddy.
Spicy, Suzuki marketing vids claim the mirrors serve as wind deflectors for the grips. Did you find that do any of that (granted it was cold and you wanted heated grips).
Nope.
@@spicy110 hm. V-strom handguards it is, then. thx.
Headlights are very low down.. and that reduced their effectiveness I think, my mates bought one & he doesn't like the fact that only one headlight is on in normal conditions
It's ok but lower geared in top than a 5 speed 47 BHP Suzuki T500 two stroke twin from 1975, which did 80 MPH at 5,000 RPM in top gear. This bike has gearing that's too busy for a tourer, enough to get on ones nerves. I expect a drop of two teeth on the back sprocket would help greatly, albeit perhaps mess up the speedo reading.
Interesting hearing you get wind dumped straight in your face from the screen on this, you mentioned you're 6'4 but what's your inseam?
33-34 depending
Nice review, thanks. My only outward criticism: It's not a 1200. I currently own an engine-modified Bandit 1200 and a stock FJR1300, and no 1000cc bike I've ridden can produce the same grunt. PS- Gearing: 70 mph at 5 Grand is a bit "busy" for Touring. Still, I like this bike. Too bad you can't test ride bikes in the US East.
5k seems reasonable on a silky inline 4 such as this. Remember its a 1000 so tinier pistons and redlines @ 12k.
I normally ride an FJR1300 and took the Suzuki for a test ride today. Whilst the FJR has more torque on paper it doesn't feel that way on the road. The Suzuki feels just as torquey as the FJR
@@chrishandy9353 The weight
@@drewmorg. For sure
On several occasions in this video you used the adjective "leery" (?) to describe something about the character of the bike. Being a 'murican from Florida I'm not entirely knowledgeable of English/ UK jargon, but the dictionary I referenced defines that word as "wary or suspicious, usually followed by of." What did you mean when you used that description? I've heard Al Fagan from 44 teeth also use it in his videos. I'm puzzled.

@@spicy110 Thanks for that!
@@spicy110 so fun, loud, and raucous :D
Like this bike but it lacks two important basic things for me. No1 is no center stand. No 2 unfortunately the front mudguard is so small it's ineffective and the engine will be plastered in no time.
Stonking bike, but still the bridesmaid to the Kawasaki Z100SX
I don't know if you've seen the black one, it screams unmarked plod bike to me for some reason
Yeeesss siiirrr!! 🤘🏻
Over £300 for fitted heated grips is high, I always get heated grips on my bikes my last few have been Triumph and they are much cheaper, nice bike though.
bmw is around 255 so yer that is higher than i realised. Maybe this is to make up for the price of the bike.
Do you only review Suzuki ?
No check out my review playlist.
How tall are you hehe
How many of these bikes have actually been produced and where are they actually available? Has anyone bought one in North America?
As mentioned in the video in the Uk they say June delivery.
@@spicy110 June delivery!! that's half the good riding season gone, should be in dealers now.
@@karlbratby4349 don't shoot the messenger. haha
Some say in March, at least in my conutry. Can check my content. :) Have fun.
@@spicy110 en France les dates de livraison sont prévue en avril
My need is bike 150 cc
This wins over the Ninja1000SX for me because this is a lovely looking thing and Kawasaki's current design is..... well..... um...... the Z900RS is nice but the rest of their stuff looks like a genital wart made sweet love to Optimus Prime.
close up the ninja 1000 sx especially the sport tourer version does look great, i was skeptical before i went and test rode, then i was hooked
For me they just copied the z1000sx with this but no IMU which I have on a 2018 model.
Bigger engines are more hole than whole!
There’s bigger holes in this :) 👍
Parts of the GT look nice but others not, like the back end where panniers go not so much, switch gear still looks Suzuki cheap, no adjustable screen, add ons rather than pack upgrades like Kawasaki do with the 1000sx, small tank and that engine in the GSXS was thirsty, totally love my 21 plate ninja 1000sx performance sports tourer, but then it has had a few versions to get it to its current model so maybe the GT in a few years will be a fair comparison. Suzuki sadly seems to have gone to the cheap side of the 4 Japanese bikes and in past few years the Kawasaki seems to have risen to the premium of the 4. always had the other 3 for many years but my 1st Kawasaki ever is just head and shoulders above, not quite Ducati finish but not far away. Great review, you must have been freezing ..
You seemed to think it was comfortable but others said otherwise.
Not sure what I am supposed to say to that? I review bikes for how I find them, other people's opinions are kinda irrelevant. Also clearly ergonomics is dependent on each rider, are these "others" the same height as me? Because I am taller than 95% of the country so I experience bikes differently from other riders.
Well I guess ergonomics makes a difference and maybe which bikes the other reviews are comparing it to.
I think it is also good to remember reviews are only one person's perspective, test rides are free, take one out and see for yourself. 🙂👍
106Nm torque, not 160.
Oop you got a time code for that? Thought I would have caught it in the edit.
@@spicy110 at 40 seconds (have I misheard? If so appols)
It's lighter than the Ninja 1000SX
It's got more power than the Ninja 1000SX
It has better dash integration than the Ninja 1000SX
But I will still have the Kawasaki all day long
Why?
CHLORO!!!!!!
