@@vikingventuresuk6122 Well, I found the reason why it wouldn't start. The battery was too low. I put it on a tender now it fires right up. My new problem is the bike tends to stall out often when riding. Typically at idle while sitting at a traffic light. Dealer told me it could be a slew of things.

You are correct in saying very few people will take adventure bikes off road, but that's not the reason why people buy adventure bikes. I bought my adventure bike because its massive, comfortable, shaft drive, and the engine is best suited to tour through Europe, its got loads of torque to get up alp passes, and hasn't got a rev hungry irritating inline four engine. I like the way it looks, that Suzuki just looks cheap and nasty
@vikingventuresuk6122 Ай бұрын
couldn't disagree more fella I'm afraid, the GS is a brilliantly balanced all round machine i agree but lacks any kind of character and originality because there so popular but ultimately almost £10k more than this Suzuki and will be no where near as much fun to ride and i can almost guarantee that the Suzuki will last a lot longer! ive toured through Europe on my GS and found it to be big and cumbersome and ultimately unnecessary. these cross over bikes are breathing fresh air into the sports touring market and i can only recommend that you take one out for a spin you'll hand your keys back to BMW

@@vikingventuresuk6122 maybe if I bought my GS brand new I couldn't justify spending that sort of difference, but a secondhand one a few years older is a far better bike than buying the Suzuki, there not in the same class

@@vikingventuresuk6122 they might be boring.

O Viking! Look a little closer. This is actually a 470 lb. Mahindra. It is morbidly obese. The only part of it that is BSA is the tank badges. The real Gold Star is the DBD 34. One of the reasons for its wonderful performance was its light weight--well under 400 lbs. The British designers of this imposter evidently decided that weight does not matter. How many of them are actually motorcyclists?

I rode the GSXS 1000 and found the suspension a bit crashy over bumps, but otherwise a lovely bike (other than the typically poor front brakes) I think that the decent suspension on this bike addresses my main concern with the S version.

It is a bit boring but it’s a true tourer, it doesn’t really do the same job as a GX or XR and doesn’t have the same clientele. I still think if you don’t really want power and thrills the 650 is a way better deal and does more or less the same job, it arguably even handles better.

First time watching your channel, but this was a very well done review. The food stop with summary comments was a nice way to set yourself apart from other channels and perhaps make yourself more relatable at the same time. Keep up the good work. I think Suzuki is shaking up the Japanese market with the GX, even if the Versys/Ninja SX was there first.

A sport tourer should be evaluated that way and then issues presented such as vibs, significant turbulence with the stock screen and a seat that after about 100-150 miles is quite uncomfortable on the butt. The engine is bullet proof with a strong history, but the above 3 items make it a questionable sport tourer for me. Thanks for your review.

Tyres, brakes, suspension made the biggest difference as usual. Have lots of racey parts taken off my bike, let me know if interested - WP shock and ohlins valved cerakoted forks sorted by TW Suspension. Toby/ ktech steering damper, gilles rearsets.... Tsukigi ti downpipes, Beringer discs etc. Anyway, what a great buy - enjoy!

First time viewer, really enjoyed your video and honesty. I have a 1250RT and not real crazy about it plus like you said the longterm reliability of a BMW is concerning, maintenance costs are high, etc. I've watched several videos on the new GX but haven't found anyone making a comparison with the Tracer GT. I know it's a 100 cc smaller but sort of in the same vein as the GX vs the S1000XR, the Tracer is a little bit cheaper than the GX. Have you rode the Tracer and for the difference in price would you lean toward the Tracer?

Everyone ( probably just dreamers for a photo) was all over the GT at the mcn show and little interest in the gx and vstrom . be interesting to see how the gx sells compared to the gt this year. If i were to choose again id probably go for the GX but i got my low mileage GT for £9.5k last year and only just starting to love it after a few tweaks. Todays new price of £12,050 vs £14,799 without options shows the level up on equipment but watching the long gx tech spec video made me think the showa eera suspension integrated with bosch imu and suziki sdms alpha is mostly gimmiky for me. I prefer the gx stacked headlights

As you found out, the soft suspension in A mode was due to the damping being set off the default setting of hard. This is a very common occurrence with test mules, lots of test riders play with settings and along comes a reviewer and gets a false impression of a bike. Before you take a bike out for test "reset all" on the dash to get back to factory settings, especially on bikes with electronic suspension. You also took your preload off auto and used the manual settings. If you leave it in auto preload on the GSX it has an input on the damping characteristics too. Great bike, so much you can customise on this suspension.
