When MCN Chief Road Tester was invited to race Team Classic Suzuki's Katana at the final round of the 2017 European Classic Endurance championship in Argon, he decided to take the 2342.2 mile trip to Spain on his GSX-R1000R. This is his story of a stunning ride down through France, over the Pyrenees, through northern Spain's rocky mountains and (nearly) four hours racing on a very special Katana.

I didnt know such a programme existed and I am impressed, very cool. And Katana looks like a beast. Also great respect to take so many miles on that GSX-R1000R.

I bought the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R about a month ago, got $5,000.00 Canadian off the List price, due to looking finding a deal, then a Price Match by the Suzuki Dealership in my hometown. It really is Comfortable isn't it!!! Only have about 700 km's on it as yet, weather hasn't co-op'd but getting better. Best to you. I do like your videos, I had a GSX-R750 back in 1986 thought it was fast---not a candle not even close to this bike. :)

Made that ride to Aragon from Manchester last September. Took a bit longer to do it, but I would definitely do it again. Great roads :)

@djulesunchained5010 6 лет назад

“What you can’t see can’t hurt you” is definitely not a mentality I’d adopt riding a motorcycle lol, but great riding and great video! 👍

Great vid. Neevsy you the man when it comes to MCN content. As far as I remember all you updates are bloody good! Mind you after 10 years off a sports bike I'd come back crippled after riding that GSXR!!

Makes me want a GSXR1000

@johnnyflies6 6 лет назад

I might have missed your guise feature in MCN but a recent publication saw the yoshi can give 12hp gain. Seems unlikely. Have you found similar improvement. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

johnnyflies6 mine’s just a can and I got another 7bhp...

@solomonsignet 6 лет назад

Very nice!!

@georgep4467 6 лет назад

@rapidres5496 6 лет назад

Hi. That looks like a mint road. That our group would loved to do next summer. We looking to stay at jaca. So I was wondering if you could tell me a route to do the N-211

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

Rapid Res Llieda to Alcaniz and Teruel, then head south on the N330 is pretty special.

@rapidres5496 6 лет назад

neevesybikes Thanks Neevesy. Keep them vids coming. Great inspiration (The MCN Team). You should do a trip there superbike vs supernaked. I think supernaked will win.

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

Rapid Res we did a superbike v super naked to the Ring a few years ago. Nakeds more fun on the road, superbike the daddy on track.

@nickegan3988 6 лет назад

You need to ride the N260 east from Jaca. Thank me later

@timacengineering8246 6 лет назад

Try playing this video at half speed. Neevsy sounds totally off his head. The speeded up riding footage looks more like the correct speed too.

@streethawk_1617 6 лет назад

what are the settings for road riding long distance on the gixxer? also 48miles to a gallon is just amazing is this after a full system yoshi any tuning done? ?

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

Streethawk_1 everything is standard. If you’re careful you can squeeze out 60mpg. It’s just a can and gives 7bhp.

@jacquesdeoliveira6618 6 лет назад

Hi What fuel are you running ? Pipe is burning a white colour

@naifabuatid6059 6 лет назад

@adamstratford6740 6 лет назад

Lucky boy

@jcmm164 6 лет назад

For example...in a Tuono whould you have the some fun throw the mountains?

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

J CMM even more...but a bit windier on the motorways.

@jcmm164 6 лет назад

why do you say that? is the Tuono the "perfect" sport bike for the road?

@threethrushes 6 лет назад

Is the GSX a good first bike?

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

Gerhard Symons probably not. You want to learn your trade on something smaller, lighter and something you don’t mind dropping!

@FadilKarim 6 лет назад

No it's a bad beginner bike because it isn't powerful enough. You'll get bored of this too quickly so save your money and buy a Hayabusa.

@richardsterna750GSX-R 6 лет назад

No no no unless you don't mind the high probability of crashing and seriously injuring yourself or worse. My first bigger bike was a Honda CBR600 and the first time I fully opened the throttle on that bike my eyes nearly popped out of my head, that was in 1991. Ive ridden a few bikes since then but I test rode the GSXR 1000 a few weeks ago and when I ripped the throttle open I was taken straight back to 1991, it is a fantastic bike and I want one but NOT a first bike. I would go for an older sports 600, most manufacturers made great models till just a few years ago and Yamaha still do.

@cosmikrelic4815 6 лет назад

Gerhard don't take this the wrong way, but are you insane? Only Americans buy a 1000cc sport bike as their first bike, normal people learn their craft. A dirt bike is a good way to start, and a second hand one at that. If you want a street bike try a 400 or maybe an SV650 kind of thing. Cheers

@todd1737 5 лет назад

IDK if you got a bike yet, but my '06 katana 600 has been a fantastic first bike. Fantastic on the highway and plenty of low torque for in town riding. I highly recomend one. You can even thrash it a bit when you're more confident without worrying about overdoing it and hurting yourself or the bike. Also, cheap and simple to work on if you have the mind for it.

Here I am thinking you were going to Aragon in Middle Earth.

@strrider8474 6 лет назад

Let us know how those Diablo Rosso 3 are comparing to the M7RR.

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

STR Rider 3000 miles from the rear and still going strong...

@tatuksa 6 лет назад

mr.neeves compared zx10r and gsxr witch one is good and better in corners and brakes and comfortable? sorry for my bad english thanks

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

tatuksa Suzuki is much better all round, matey.

@tatuksa 6 лет назад

thankx for replay

@tatuksa 6 лет назад

hello again i saw other video that u made for zx10r and the new gsxr u said the brakes are better on zx10r than the gsxr and also the paint is better on zx10r so i think the gxr just more comfy and has a good power but i dont know in the corner witch one is good>>>thanks and again sorry for my bad english

@theavangelist 6 лет назад

I got to ask: cost of hotel in Folkstone, petrol, train, lunch dinner breakfast etc. Isn't it just easier to get the ferry and pay the same amount?

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

Andy Parker but then you’d miss the Pyrenees and mountains of northern Spain on your bike. Stuck on a stuffy, boring ferry, especially in bad weather in the Bay of Biscay is no fun. May as well just fly if you want to get there fast ‘n cheap, but I’ll take the excitement of a road trip any day!

What a crap job, someone has do it I suppose

@davidwalker9253 6 лет назад

Would anybody know what rucksack he is using and size of tank bag?

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

David Walker it’s a Kreiga R30 rucksack and Oxford X30 quick release tank bag, matey.

@davidwalker9253 6 лет назад

Thanks very much, threw that out as a general question didn’t think for a minute you would answer it yourself. Looking at luggage options for a weekend away next year so might just go with that sort of setup Cheers David

@neevesybikes 6 лет назад

David Walker glad to help!
