What in the cricket bat is that?! 😮😂 ...It sounds okay but I can't imagine many people are going to be in a hurry to pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds/dollars/euros etc to ruin the look of their bike😂
Not to be a dick, but just as an info. Akrapovič, c/č at the end is not as K, but like "tsch" in german or ch in cherry/cheese in english. ❤ Also, thanks for the review!
I got about 50m on a test ride and knew this was the bike for me. Had it for a week now and it just gets better and better. It''s big, heavy and intimidating, get it rolling though and it's a dream to ride. Awesome machine!
Hey man im in the process of doing this now have no idea if you ll see this but wondering what you used to secure the headlight to the mounts and if it held with moving up and down
I’m a bigger rider about 6ft 3in and 220lbs. I want to get this as a first bike and my main concern is the size and if it’s to small. Any thoughts about this anyone?
I strongly recommend you to get an adventure bike, related to your heigh and weight maybe a 450 and for the price there are plenty options, with a little less power, imo 82 hp Is a lot for a Rookie on a bike so...
I was just looking at them at the dealer im 6'3" 210lbs and it didnt look to small might have to swap out the rear set and rear suspension but looked fun i was digging the grey also the matte black with blue rims 😮 @hu7cho
6000 miles into owning a V100S . I got the bike to go touring with a sporty edge and it does this superbly ( it replaced a Triumph 1059ST Sprint ) I can’t fault it being the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. The bike loves corners and I challenge any of you to ground anything riding on the road, I finally managed to get the (optional) centre stand to ground with a passenger and all the luggage full on a slow hairpin in the mountains in the north of Spain. Sport mode is a little aggressive so it gets ridden in road mode normally, Tour mode for motorways and I guess you all will have figured out what rain mode gets used for. The strange aerodynamic flaps do work in keeping the rain off but only at 50 + MPH. The suspension on the S model is worth every penny allowing instant change from Tour to Road when you get on the twisty bits, I was not a fan of the quick shifter at first but like he gearbox it takes a few thousand miles to settle in and now I use the quick shifter most of the time. The V100S multi media package is very good navigation instructions are clear once you figure out the graphics and the amount of data it supplies to the phone app is huge. The only thing I have any criticism of is the owners manual, it is truly dreadful especially the multimedia section that left myself and the technician at the dealership frustrated on several occasions, it actually took us six months and a software upgrade to get the full functionality from the multimedia.
imo the mivv looks a bit empty on the other side but other than that the carbon looks way more aggresive. Soundwise the mivv is just 100 times better to me.
I would change the colour of the front tire orange to black and then colour of the seat to black ( I don’t have or never had ride a bike only scooty ) but my dream bike it is
i test rode the 8r and it blew me away how nice the bike was. Smoothest bike ive ever rode, (i havent got to try out a triumph yet, so that is to be determined), and the torque was fantastic and down low and immediate. It was so satisfying. My wife rode the 8s and now she wants it, and she is more of a cruiser bike rider, so in conclusion: Great Job Suzuki! except for not giving it cruise control, i mean come on man its 2024
Cruise control, it won’t cost much to do but they want you to go up a level and spend more money on the GSXS1000GT. I have cruise control on my ninja 1000sx and I rarely use it. Great for long distance over 2 hours on a motorway, otherwise it takes away much of the enjoyment of ripping the throttle. Each to their own. Smooth, well I find the vibration in the pegs at 6 to 7k revs. The rest is perfect. I can’t fault it otherwise.
755cc engine in this bike is entirely new. It's a p-twin with 270° firing interval (same firing interval as any 90° v-twin). Designed to rev quickly, be lively, be more horsepower-oriented. The NC750X bikes have a 745cc 270° p-twin, but very different than the Hornet in terms of bore/stroke ratio, valve train, compression, redline, gearing, and purpose. It's a tractor engine for motoring along at low RPM and for crazy good fuel efficiency. Similar architecture as the Honda Fit car engine (even in bore/stroke ratio), but in a 270° twin, so I have read.
I like them a lot. I just don't like the suspension. 1 size fits all suzuki was going for. No adjustment in the forks. Don't know about the rear. Kind of dumb if you ask me. Adjustability would've been nice. I am a suzuki fan and if I wanted a back road ripper, I would probably choose this. Although I would be dropping a couple hundred cc's and 2 cylinders.
