100% with you there. It's nice to have traction control on a wet commute when you're feeling sleepy, but otherwise get outta my way and let me enjoy the thing!
Great video as always Loz...already have a K6 GSXR 1000 so, after testing four of the top super-nakeds, I bought the S1000r...bloody hell what a bike...a cut above the rest in refinement and accessible performance IMO....stay healthy mate.
Actually I have this bike in the triton blue metallic and put on an m4 slip on pipe and it sounds incredible, love this bike big time but I also love my 2014 Honda interceptor 800 with the v4 and vtec, this bike is a blast too especially with the optional quickshifter on it😁
u guys do better online reviews compared to other established motorcycling publishing.. keep up the good work.. i know motorcycling is not ur forte, but wish u guys could do more..
thank god. not the blogger rambling shit err what do i say next.. my kitchen got a new carbon fiber wok shit .enough of that style review. this is simple and informative. im loving you guys. subscribed.
Clearly very experienced in handling a bit of girth! Look at that grip! ✊🏼🙀 #SayNoToSnatch 😬😆 All that & a very useful review too! 👍🏼🏁 Has to be my fave channel!
Best bike I ever had until it was stolen. The only thing it was no good at was with a pillion on back - the handling disappeared. This is the only bike I could ride everywhere and not feel it was lacking or struggling at low speed.
Great vid! I picked up the 2016 and I just can't get enough of this bike. Best bang for your buck; super fun! And yeah, this thing could get you into trouble with Johnny law...Also, I installed a powercommander V and it fully cured the throttle snatch. Bike runs much richer now and is an absolute blast to ride!
Forgive a foreigner's ignorance; but why are you unable to show wheelies? Please explain. Incidentally, I enjoyed the review immensely. From start to finish, the data is clear, concise, and well presented. It was my pleasure to subscribe.
I have got it. Great bike, superior sound for naked bike and stock exhaust. Would never put aftermarket exhaust up. Brutaly fast...down low lack of torque but after revs it it goes wild. Some lack of torque between 5 and 7 krpm but the feeling after is hahahahaha. Everything as supersport. A bit more windy and lower top end ;) For sure the best value for money supernaked. I never regrated. In comparison to my mt09 slower until approx 140 kmh but after :D...fz09 is torque monster and who knows how to launch it...oooof god.
gizmag it would be really interesting to have a comparison of this bike, the new gsx-s750, the mt 09, xsr 900, z900, and the z900rs. I know they aren’t all exactly in the same class, but they are all fun, affordable, and comfortable sport bikes. I am a big fan of more affordable comfy sport bikes that the mt 09 helped to popularize. The retro nakeds also add some variety and a different take on some of these newer naked sport bikes
I haven't ridden all of those, but this Suzuki 1000 is the high speed choice by a mile. For tighter stuff and silly wheelie fun, I'd go the MT09. I hear the z900RS is a terrific all-rounder, but I haven't slung a leg over one.
Wish I had watched ur video 6 years back I would have ended up buying 1 .... instead I ended up buying a MV Agusta brutale 800 a bike with lot of electronic issues
I bought 2018 Z. After first 500Km, honestly I regretted buying Z ....OTL...But.....fueling issue has gone now....wow.... I don't believe this....but it's true...I think Suzuki did something....
I am late to the party, but still a great review. American reviews seem to hate this bike... I don't know why.. everyone that owns one, LOVES IT. I can only ignorantly guess it has to do with sponsorship.. No money = shit review.
I haven't ridden that, sorry. But I don't see it as a competitor at all really. 2cyl vs 4cyl. Euro vs Japanese. Totally different price points and buyer mentality. I might be wrong.
+Matt Quinnell the beemer feels much faster at road speeds, just because the Suzuki is geared so high. It also has a lot more goodies including electronic suspension and cruise control. But it's so much more expensive that I think I'd probably get myself the gixxess. Also, the Suzuki is absolutely next level as a wheelie machine. 😀
Both outstanding bikes. This is so much cheaper, and yet the BMW has enough amazing tech on it to justify its price tag. I think I'd take the Suzi, just because it's such an amazing stunt bike.
Nice review. But I beg to differ on a couple of points: LOOKS- I'm a proud 1200 Bandit owner; this one looks like a plastic bug. ERGOS- I've sat on this bike a few times and the FOOTPEGS are just too bloody high, (I'm 6 feet tall). My legs would cramp-up badly within an hour. (WHY can't they make adjustable footpegs??) WEATHER PROTECTION- as in: NONE. CARRYING CAPACITY- also, as in: totally NONE Nice bike....otherwise! Thanks for the catchy review
I own a 2014 Speed Triple R, so I can comment. I'd say the GSXS feels lower and lighter and I reckon it handles better on stock suspension settings. The Speed Trip is better geared for the road with a wider ratio gearbox, and it feels a lot gruntier down low, but the top end of the Suzi absolutely destroys it. Both are superb wheelie bikes, but the Suzuki has to take the cake as the best wheelie bike I've ridden. If I did more track days and fast road rides, I'd want the Suzi, but I don't know how long my license would last...
+gizmag the last gen speed triple you stated it as being the best hoolagin machine on the market your review should mention if your opinion is still the same. Get the MT10 no hesitation
