Suzuki GSX-R1000R | Long term update | Motorcyclenews.com 

long term reviews r the best in my opinion!

Neeves again showing he is my favorite bike reviewer. He has a way of conveying the "inner" details of a bike in ways that correspond to my experience on those bikes we have both ridden. Kudos!

Great Video MCN! I'm the guy on the Bike in front of Michael at the the Nurburgring going round the Karussell....😊

Mr. Neeves probably gives the best motorcycle reviews of anybody. Good job mate. I want one of those bikes.

Brilliant detailed and honest review, nice.

This guy's the read deal, best reviews on the net, honest, succinct, detailed. Feel like I owned the Gixxer after watching the test!! Thank you for an honest review. Cheers and thank you...

Nice video. Always impressed with your presenting and articulation of bike reviews.

Ive never been a big GSXR fan over the years but Suzuki really have nailed this new GSXR 1000 💯 a litre sports bike id consider in the near future

we need more such honest review on the net. thanks!

after watching the new gsxr and the zx10r i will choose the zx10 over the gsxr because it has a good brake system with ss lines and the paint is pretty good will not fade. thanks mr neeves for the information and drive safe my friend

Always love your long term test updates/review. Really gives a good in depth look on ownership and all of its niggles.

Your reviews are the best.

Great review. Cannot believe the same brake fade still exists that I had on my K5 track bike.

Only place I come for a review because adventure and speed is similar, so It's like a trip into the future. Niel is amazing

MCN is by far the best motorcycle media out there.

Very professional job Michael. Your comments on this bike and also on the R1 (2015) and ZX-10R (2016) are all very precise and useful for us on our everyday lives. All Superbikes lack good brakes nowadays. I personally didn't like the CBR1000RR brakes. Maybe we are getting too demanding! :-) Have fun!

What a brilliant piece of review right here.... Thanks a lot sir

I love this motorcycle.!!

Gorgeous bike.

Good Honest review Micheal, For someone like me who will ride the Bike purely on the Road it sounds ideal. Most of its Weak Points sound like they are more Track focused.

Great review. Looking forward to the next one. The GSX-R is one of three bikes I'm looking at as my next/new motorcycle. (the other two are the BMW 1000RR and the Fireblade SP) The GSX-R started out as a favourite, but with all of the little things you mentioned such as the brakes (which is a standard thing I do anyway as I'm quite hard on the brakes) the paint being super thin in places etc etc. They're not big issues by themselves, but as mentioned, on a 14k motorcycle, it shouldn't happen. So as much as I want to like it, it probably means the GSX-R moves to the bottom of my very short list. I guess that means it's between the CBR1000 and the BMW now. I just can't get over the a-symmetric looks of the BMW. I know the performance is the most important thing, but I just can't deal with it. Hopefully they'll fix it in the 2018/2019 model which (I heard) should be a big redesign of the bike. The bike I've unfortunately haven't seen many "big" articles and/or reviews of, is the CBR. I've always had a softspot for Honda, i've owned multiple and never had a problem with any of them. At the moment, it's on top of the list. :) (although the BMW is a close second... just fix that damned wonky face) Will MCN be doing a long term, or "bigger" video on the CBR?

Sounds super fun and thanks for the personal review!

Great vid thanks for posting .. I pick mine up this week

You claim to be The Missenden Flyer. But the real Missenden Flyer always starts with "Hey Kids"

love your accent and your review, best regards from Australia.

Gosh; journalist in honest review of new superbike. Nice :)

Bike looks absolutely gorgeous, but as for a sport bike in which you can make long trips wouldn't you prefer a Hayabusa?

Nice review MN, your affection for the bike comes through, even despite a few gremlins. Could you tell us more about your choice of screen? Is it quiet? Any buffeting? Maybe more weight on your wrists? I’m trying to figure out screens and not getting very far! The new ‘blade has a tiny screen, for example...

Gsxr the best bike ever built

Your comment on the auto blipper down shift. It gives a extra lunge if the throttle is not closed completely. Under hard breaking into turns down shifting try closing throttle all the way and try it with it on, it will then repeat itself for you.

Excellent review... thanks for all the detail.

King of sportbike

Great honest review straight to the points👌🏽

Top notch review as always Mr. N. I'm still looking for that job btw...lol...

My dream bike

Nice to hear again about the good old gixx issue with brakes.

2018 version has the brakes and autobliper issue fixed.

Brilliant review - exactly what I wanted to know

Just noticed the Boeing plane in the background LOL

Check out Brock Davidson videos about this bike. Just put down over 200hp to the rear wheel

Still the best reviewer out there!

It’d be cool if you released the footage of your laps around the tracks especially the Nurburgring 😁

Such a beautiful bike

04:02 MY GOD!!!

Man i would love to go on a long trip around europe on a bike as well...

The real question is shall we just get the 750??

Sounds like a 1000cc bike aimed for street riders with the occasional track day which is probably the majority of riders

The fact that he owns it tells it a great all rounder..

That brake lever action is unforgivable - not really 'pinching a brick' more like squeezing a melon

Gonna buy one!

there's something going on with the quick shift linkage, maybe too sensitive triggering the blip but not shifting so that maybe just an adjustment issue or a replacement unit.

so which is better? The 2015 R1 you had long term, or this GSXR? I think the R1 is all round the better bike. Better quality, electronics, handling etc. Do you agree?

A good objective round up 👏👍

Suzuki GSXR, simply the best. ❤️💙

Being an old school biker, I couldn't keep my eyes off it parked downhill on it's sidestand. I just kept on waiting for Neevesy to be standing there while the bike rolled out of shot

I wonder how Neeves feels about this vs new S1000RR on the street and touring

Can you tell me which bike would you choose between the Zx10r and the Suzuki GSX r 1000 latest model ? Road and track use

yeah you go to La Cité de Carcassonne nice im living here !!

Which bike is better on the road? This or the ZX10R?

Sounds like high praise from a bike that hasn’t really impressed anyone in the superbike comparisons. However, as I’m looking for a good street bike to make the work commute, and some fun Sunday rides with, it sounds like this makes the cut!

Great review! Thanks very much :)

Great review!

what sport bike do you recommend for beginner ?

Love your work

A bit pricey to go on tour don't you think ? About 15km/L ? Thank you for sharing

Great bike, dont understand why suzukis are so underrated..

Beautiful review as usual! 👌👌

Great detailed review!

grunty and snatchy you say...Sounds perfect for me ;)

Is that the Skidmarx double bubble screen or the 2 piece TT screen?

Shame Suzuki ain't admitting there's a problem with the auto blipper despite many owners reporting the issue to Suzuki including myself, just wondering what it's going to take for them to put their hands up and say there is a problem

great review, im looking at buying a 2019 one shortly :)

You can disable traction control AND/OR ABS on ANY vehicle simply by pulling the relays... #YoureWelcome

My favourite litre bike is the Aprilia RSV4 1100 factory. But if i was able to afford a litre bike i'd go for that GSXR.

8:03 there's a new GSX 125 in the back ground :)

The CASIO display omfg what were they thinking SUZUKI !!!

11450 miles "Long term"? Hmm, maybe I should write up a review for my 750 K6 ....with 58000 on it

Can you please tell me about the steering dampner on it, some say its useless and that it needs and aftermarket one, did you find it okay on your trip?

Very very very good review. Can't say very enough times.

So as a road bike its good which its intended to do..

This was solid, thanks.

Nice review Neevesy!

2 gear and speed 8 impressive👍👍👍

@5:30 that extra BLIP you talk about sounds like the PAIR system. My bandit does the same thing. Only ever after hard deceleration.

When the bike is set up for the truck it’s beating all your bikes in terms of speed and seemed quite a quite well too. Even the BMW suffers from breaks because they mix mach parts. Ill stick with the Aprilla still the best bike out of the box and an ECU and pipe put out over 200hp to the wheel.

Why does it need a rear hugger? that'll stop the rubber hitting the prius behind in a burn out.

my favorite bike

great review thx !

Great update

Does the windsheild that you have defelct the air where it doesn't hit your face or head?

Wow, he Is doing one of the first things I learned not to do with a motorcycle, poInt it down hill on the kickstand, YIKES!

Very very good review

as always, great review, what type of screen did you fitted? thnks

I'll stick with my "no frills" K2 every time!.

If the throttle bodies are a little out sync, can that cause a buzz in the bars?

So out of the 3 long term test bikes R1, ZX10R or GSXR1000R did you prefer? I only ask as I am looking to buy one but can’t decide which one. I will only be using on the road

Excellent, intelligent review

Who needs an adventure bike when you're nerves!

Nice review as expected. Is there a company like hilltop motorcycles abroad/germany ? I'd like to change the exhaust. The old brake the issue of the gsxr. No top brake definitly. But a least the calipers keep dry. From of 2019 the hayes caliper's of the s1000r (and a few boxemodells) lose brakefluid. Not to mention a few other issues. So the gixxer is the more honest and value bike.

Cant the snatchy throttle be mapped out?
