Hi guys! It's been a long time coming but with retail shops now reopening, I've finally been able to take another bike out on a First Date, courtesy of my friends at Frasers of Gloucester.
I have to say that when I was going through the footage, I realised that I am a bit ring-rusty when it comes to bike reviewing! So this isn't one of my best efforts and I'm sorry about that.
I hope you do at least enjoy the sound! Some of my recent videos have been a bit disappointing when it comes to hearing the exhaust so I think I've got a solution for that now 😀

Good review. I appreciate the way you left the specs on the screen long enough to be read.

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Thanks for your comment Louis 👍

@edwardwilson4974 2 года назад

Nice video. I’ve just bought a 2019 GSX1000F and I agree with the remarks made here. I must see if I can get the throttle response improved by the remapping. I have found the brakes to be very adequate though. And I agree about the styling too. The more you look at the bike, the better it gets. Much better looking than the new GT in my opinion. Thanks for the video!

@RikkyTang 2 года назад

Thanks Edward yes this bike did strike a chord with me in a way that I wasn't expecting! An underrated machine for sure and a good effort from Suzuki

@wakajawaka44 3 года назад

I agree that is a lovely looking bike in that colour scheme. Thanks for uploading!

@tomaspodzimek4933 3 года назад

Very nice review! 👍🏻I bought exactly the same one 2 months ago. Love it, very good quality and quite a nice stock sound. It is gonna be the keeper if there is no new feared version in the future.

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Thank you 😊 I certainly underestimated the faired version and I'm glad I took it out! It will be very interesting to see if Suzuki come up a faired version of the new model and how it will look...

@tomaspodzimek4933 3 года назад

@@RikkyTang You are welcome! 🙂 Which one did you like the most out of gsxs1000 range, this one, katana or naked?

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

@@tomaspodzimek4933 Hello Tomas, that is a tricky question! I think really they are very similar in terms of performance and handling and they all impressed me but I reckon I'd prefer this faired model (especially in this colour scheme). It's the most practical of the three models but not any slower 😁

@Lemmon714_ 3 года назад

That color is great. That will be my next bike.

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Yeah that colour scheme really makes the difference!

@malcellison8831 3 года назад

All brand new brake pads need time to bed in, Ricky. Interesting review 👍

@Jackanackanorie 3 года назад

Good review! Actually think looks pretty decent in it’s design. Can I ask what you have plugged into your 360 camera? Charger? Cheers

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Thanks! The bike never did anything for me until I saw it those colours and now I want a third bike in the shed lol Yes I have a power bank connected to my 360 camera - My cameras are almost always connected to a power bank, or USB power coming from the bike itself.

@johannacollins1130 3 года назад

I picked up this bike yesterday! It does need the suspension tweaking for sure!

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Itr's already a goods bike but there is an even better bike trying to get out! 😁

@Inked_CR Год назад

Would you sway more towards a 17 plate s1000xr or say a suzuki gsxs1000f? I'll only been using it for commuting and some long motorway miles to visit the Mrs, but with some b roads in between.

@RikkyTang Год назад

Hello Christopher, sorry for the slow reply! That's tricky one as I do like both bikes! There is not a lot between them in terms of comfort and I do like the relaxed/upright riding position of the BMW. But the main thing that I'm not a fan on with that beemer is the riders seat... you just can't move around on it! I think I'd prefer the Suzuki for that reason. Also I think the XR models of thet period have a reputation for vibration which has frustrated many owners!

@Inked_CR Год назад

@RikkyTang! looking like I'll get a 2021 1290 SAS mate.

@crumblymal8479 3 года назад

Looks great I would have one of these couldn't run to a new one but for sure a used one is a distinct possibility next year when I am thinking of changing one of my bikes good review thanks : ) now Subscribed

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Hi Malcolm, first of all thanks for subscribing! The good news about this colour scheme is that it's been around since 2017 (I never realised that!) and they're starting at about £7k so they are getting affordable on the used market 😊

@windyrun7979 3 года назад

I agree it does look good in this color scheme -- except --- for that face :) The engine is beautiful though lol and sounds great!

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

OK from the front it's not exactly a stunner 🤣 Could have looked better if they separated those LED lights from the main units I think... it will be interesting to see how/if Suzuki restyles the faired version!

@stuartb1963 3 года назад

mine makes a great solo sports tourer it's covered large parts of Europe will cruise as fast as you like all day on the auto barn handle's great ,it's economical, reliable cheap to buy and run. The throttle sharpness can be sorted with a £20 throttle tube from the katana and I've fitted a nitron rear shock and a fork kit plus high screen,givi top box and heated grips i get 200 miles from a tank sat at 80mph, it does all i need

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

I could imagine myself on one of these too - there's great potential in the bike as you have found 😊

@solosportbikerider5734 3 года назад

So it's a 2021 I thought Suzuki haven't released this year model.

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

Its the old model but its still for sale, so its called a 2021

@solosportbikerider5734 3 года назад

True they didn't come out with the 2021 model probably discontinued Suzuki does have the 2021 naked version so he misleading the people.😬

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

@@solosportbikerider5734 no, you got it wrong. the bike is still available buy (not discontinued) so it is a 2021 model. (EDIT I was wrong - please see below)

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

@@solosportbikerider5734 Hi Xam X - I owe you a big apology.,. I was mistaken to say that this was a MY2021 bike and I was rude to tell you that you were wrong without checking the facts first. I have corrected the title and the thumbnail to state that this is a MY2020 bike now 🙏

@stevedunne7132 2 года назад

Hi Ricky Can you sit on the Motorway at 85 ish without your Head getting pulled off. I had an MT10 which was amazing..want similar performance but also some Wind protection

@RikkyTang 2 года назад

Personally I found that yes I could sit at that sort of speed on this model and I was impressed with the lack of wind blast/buffetting. However if you are bigger/smaller than me you may have different results.

@RRRRefuelRideRace 3 года назад

They do... Its XR.

@henrymccarty7105 3 года назад

It has 3 modes of traction control. At least mine does.

@RikkyTang 3 года назад

I'm skipping through the video to see where I mentioned traction control to see if I got it wrong... can't find it yet! I do mention that it lacks "rider" modes which is something separate to a traction control option. UPDATE! During the walkaround section I do have a pop-up note on screen that says "three level traction control + "off"
