I bought this bike last month and love the bike. I will be changing the tires after I run these down a little. I have a Honda ST1300 and have the Michelin 6s and love those tires. They do make a great difference. I live in Texas and have not seen rust on my chain and sprocket as of yet. Great vid I like watching rides from other places and countries.
Yeah I was happy with the Dunlop tires, gone from South coast to Scotland and back again wore them down and now I've got pilot sixes on because I know that tire, but I didn't find much wrong with the dunlops. My chain's not gone. Rusty yet. Heated grips yep, I fitted those as soon as I bought the bike. I did buy a new screen but it was just a dark tint, That's it. I use the alpinestars r10 helmet so the aerodynamics on that are perfect, so i don't need a taller screen. I absolutely love this bike and after 5 to 6,000 revs it is an absolute animal.
Thank you for your comment it is always nice to have a positive side as well as a negative. Glad you love the bike as it is an awsome machine ride safe
0:02 Great bike, Maybe that's the difference, or maybe I can ride beyond there limitation. Your next set are in my garage £150 the pair with 600 miles on, all ready scrubbed in for you.
Enjoyed that video, some valid points, especially the heated or lack of heated grips as standard. I know that Suzuki did an heated grips as an offer at tye start of the year. So makes you wonder if they know the mistake. Keep up the good work Sir and thank you for sharing.
heated grips? I wouldn't pay for that, i want cooling grips. i think the headlights are a major problem. -1 +1 = 4. You were right!!! Get a cheap chinese rear seat cowl, then get one of the tank bags that has the adapter that screws into the gas cap. and put the adapter on the seat cowl. Tank == Tail bag.
Thanks for the honest review. I test drove the BMW XR over a year ago! I can easily afford the XR so price was a very tiny factor for me.. then I test drove a 2022 GT a few months after that! By the time I got to 3rd gear on the GT my mind was made up! I ordered the 2023 model Suzuki GSXS1000GT+ early last year, got it a few months later and have had more fun than anyone should ever have over 15 thousand kms in less than a year.. that's saying something coming from a Tracer 900 which was an excellent bike! I totally agree about the tyres. The stock Dunlops slid on everything except warm pavement (triggering traction control alot) here in Northern Ontario.. so I put on a set of Avon Spirits which completely woke the GT's handling and cornering right up!
Thanks for your comment. Different tyres can give different feel to riding and also can offer better grip levels. I hope this helps. Enjoy your bike it is an amazing choice
