[@MOTOSINFO]

I've been waiting so much for this. I think this is probably gonna be the best bike among the superbikes. Great job Suzuki.

[@adamstratford6740]

looks like the Gsxr is back with a bang!!!

[@MikBan]

It is going to kick some ass...

[@Amac1825]

That silencer is bigger than my future.

[@corinful]

Amac1825 And easily removable saving 5kgs!

[@jacquenoir7876]

Probably!

[@corinful]

Jacque Noir definitely considering the exhaust has an internal cat

[@pvkjhilk8323]

yeah funny thing about the emissions laws is they require them to be so massive that no one would ever keep it on the bike, completely counter productive to emission standards . lol

[@corinful]

Dontcallmeshirley exactly 🖒🖒

[@VASILLEVSKI1878]

Once you put on an aftermarket exhaust on this bike it will be the best of 2017!

[@ADIofficial]

aftermarket exhaust is a must have for this model

[@lambypie100]

Has the new gixxer got an exhaust pipe? i can't see it anywhere.

[@tywin1]

If you look closely you should be able to spot it

[@eastsouth9548]

dynos out! the new gixxer puts out more power than the r1 or the zx10. +10-15 horsepower everywhere from bottom to top.

[@grahamjohnpreston]

lambypie100 😂

[@mihalis3392]

Pano ston panko...

[@sivvinod3187]

Sarcasm

[@motomarmot6544]

This bike is awesome. Thanks for the vid and info.

[@kadien2006]

You can tell this guy has had an absolute blast on this bike. Im predicting this bike to be top dog in all superbike shootouts. Nothing but admiration for Suzuki they have taken a while but I think they have hit the bulls eye.

[@e.rod.moto.]

Can't wait to buy one!

[@festol1]

My heartrate just gone up!

[@herihao797]

That price is really good!!

[@-DC-]

and cheaper than all the competition, hope it does well.

[@brujohnkb24]

lol.. no it's not

[@-DC-]

Bruce Johnston lol yourself it is

[@brujohnkb24]

David C The Gsxr-1000R version with the BFF forks is around 18.5k MSRP. 2016/2017 zx10-r is 14,999 MSRP, I got mine for less out the door. the 2017 ZX10 RR is 18,899 msrp so...

[@-DC-]

£13249 for the gsxr1000 £16099 for the gsxr1000r, I'd give up now !

[@brujohnkb24]

David C lol that's euros... in dollars that's over $18k... like I said

[@superbike1]

I expect all the top 2017 bikes to lap within one second of each other but the Suzuki may be the best road bike. Suzuki should do something new for them and build a 25k world beater,they could do it for that price.

[@gray7890]

superbike1 when he mentions the somewhat soft suspension that was my first thought..best street bike in the world I imagine..or right with the s1krr

[@MrKdr500]

I realize you have a Magazine to protect but can't you make the Videos a little bit longer? you guys a the most credible testers out there with the shortest videos.

[@cagednm69]

its called a "First Ride". Its not called a "Test Ride review" now is it?

[@jpsv9531]

Phillip Island in february and a new Gixer... you lucky buggers!

[@matiasdun6599]

Kevin Schwantz at 2:31 :D

[@rsoul7282]

i Wonder its a bit like weekend at bernies though, where are all suzukis new stars? Oh, that's right.....

[@TonyStone3000]

Matías Dun My favorite rider of all time. He was special.

[@sunnyGsss]

I was going to go buy a 2016 gsxr1k but i might just buy this brand spankin new one!

[@JDeezle21]

@mcn could you make sure you do two separate liter bike test. One for the base versions and one for the R versions

[@soundcrackerzmusic1516]

Please include the 2017 RSV4 RF in the group test!

[@timacengineering8246]

Nice bike but why do they put the rear indicators on the mudguard now which most owners will take off? Best bit about the older GSXR's was they were part of the rear bodywork.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Personally (stupid silencer aside) I'm quite excited to see what the latest group test is going to reveal :)

[@gwwayner]

The new Suzuki 1000 is fantastic, but what's with that ghastly blue/green paint and busy graphics job? I remember the last GSXR 750 with wonderful red/black paint that was awesome looking, pity that they didn't do the same here; this bike deserves better.

[@CycleCruza]

New technology but old skool looks.

[@hfr8343]

CycleCruza Looks just as good if not better than all the other 2017 supersports.

Becouse its small !!

[@SurenMOF1]

when you guys gonna release the 1000cc shoot out

[@689CJ]

lol the exhaust is fucking huge!

[@Candesce]

Why get rid of the integrated turning signals? :(

[@adaptiveagile]

Loving it, but that massive silencer looks ridiculous. Is that a propane tank? Aftermarket vertically stacked twin pipe cans would be way cool I think.

[@SmellyEllie2]

GSXR's.....are just supeb.

[@JlSuzuki-qe8lr]

Back n banging and from the price info that's been confirmed its cheaper than all of the competion.uk anyway.

[@gelul12]

James Disney doesnt matter over here.. the tax will rape me like every model

[@kontsir]

Whats the differences between the gsxr-r and the standar one?

[@fireoil]

that sv 650 k3 rear and front hayabusa 99 tribute

[@jamiewalden1735]

yes change the silencer for a smaller one good point to big.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Full review incoming?

[@Tomos13]

Such an ancient looking dashboard. Everyone else offers full color screen and Suzuki wants to sell you gameboy version of theirs ahahaha. Cutting corners as always

[@dibsaikia302]

Hail to the king 👑

[@TheCraigrenard]

I bet you now they complain that it's a little too soft...despite the fact that is what it will make it a superb road bike.

We live with a generation that growed with Transformers, that's why armonic, simple and clean lines, look "bland" for them. They like zx10, and S1000, Not CBR's and Gsxr's

[@okingbastard2405]

the best one superbike on 2017

[@SatanielShady]

arent you gonna wait for the new Aprilia RSV4?

[@CtrlCmdMusic]

this bike is wickedly fast, imagine how faster it can be without that trash can...

[@MrPninja]

Which do you prefer Phillip island or Silver stone ? Neevsy

[@neevesybikes]

MrPninja Phillip Island. It's a no-brainier!

[@MrPninja]

neevesybikes even with its crapy weather, it's still - pretty cool

[@mbingham10]

I see that the test bike comes fully equipped with the milk churn luggage replica kit, that really sets it apart from the latest Ducati 1299, come on Ducati perhaps you could go one better and fashion an exhaust from a wardrobe perhaps?.

[@Black_Gold_Saw]

the Gixxer is back. finally they fixed that godforsaken ugly front headlight to this beautiful small one. She's a beauty!

[@rowantimata7450]

Megusto este video de las motos deportiva GXS 1000

[@williamheinsinger7390]

Nice 💪

[@roypakpahan4687]

Suzuki😍😍

[@aditya9600]

gsxr1000r or BMW s1000rr or r1 ?

[@gusgarvalo]

Gixxer always

[@gubatmotocrosstrailriders3232]

that gsxr1000r have a compartment at the exhaust pipe right?😂

[@saxoryan]

fit an over night bag in that exhaust

[@wightwalker2453]

First impression of mini hayabusa headlight, it's a munter.

[@DonCaraotica1693]

Nice but... WHY THEY DESTROY THE TURN SIGNAL STYLE!?

[@cagednm69]

203 kg, jeez another PIG in the SBK class. Let's keep it this side of 200 eh fellas?

[@grahampreston5355]

Stunning to look at. Just a shame it's a tad small. For all those people commenting on the exhaust, it can be swapped you know. Kin idiots!! 😋

[@TheMooreyman]

I will name you Cyclops

[@Elgixxer2006]

@powerdrift review

[@ankurdebbarma6363]

another 2 years of waiting =D

[@MrPunch09]

I wish Suzuki and Kawasaki would take a lesson from Honda and Yamaha and offer a version with little to no graphics. Looks much better that way.

[@spktylr]

1. S1000RR 2. R1 3. 1299 4. ZX-10R 5. GSX-R 1000 6. CBR1000RR (You can throw the RSV4 somewhere in there if you like)

[@deadeyenic6833]

SpikeRR thats pretty much spot on how most people would do it haha

[@lukaszg74]

SpikeRR new R1 is a big dissapointmen no way is better than 1299 Or rsv4 . New gsxr looks very nice much better than R1

[@corinful]

lukaszg74 R1 looks like a fuckin stoned wasp 😂😂

[@spktylr]

lukaszg74 are talking looks or performance? Because the R1 is almost ranked #1 in every test and review. The Panigale is the best looking bike, I mean it's what the Italians are good at. Its also a decent track bike, but I don't think its better than the R1

SpikeRR R1 lacks brutal power of s1000, Zx 10 and Aprillia,

[@adult1122]

Yamaha fan but engineer first. I think the vvt was an amazing idea. At this displacement it seams you can't have you cake and eat it too. The vvt was exactly what it needed. Now what will happen is, when the tuners want to release the crackin we will find owner selves in the john hoopkin days. How will they remap this thing with the vvt? Is it oil or electronically actuated? An how I love it 😍. I wish Yamaha and Honda would pull there dicks out like Suzuki just did.

Funny thing is Moto GP bikes, looks like late 90' bikes, no like actual ones. FORM FOLOWS FUNCTION.

[@treecityrider5232]

Still doesn't compare to the 2005-06 gsxr 1000. Best 1000 made by Suzuki by far

How do you know? Its not even properly tested jet. You are so wrong, in fact, they returned to the "long stroke" design of the k6 but without losing top end thanks to vvt. I have a Rizla k8, and this one its a big big step forward, not like k9-L5

[@Elgixxer2006]

195hp dyno !!

[@cshatfireball]

Got euro 4 bull shit to thank for that bazooka out back,

[@brilliantradience]

Anti-wheelie?, don't like the sound of that.

[@liamj2363]

You would if you were chasing lap times.

[@wwxxyyxxxwwyy861]

Correct. besides, you can turn it on and off depending on how much wheelie cravings you got :)

[@brilliantradience]

@Liam J truer words never spoken @WWXXYY music to my ears

What is new look? the only universally accepted as beautiful is Ducati, as always, the rest are questionable, even Aprillias.

[@CZ05320]

That pipe is so big, it looks photoshopped

[@chrisbiggs4794]

Uber bland looking compared to other litres, great bike no doubt.

[@fortyfour1654]

chris biggs It may tick all the boxes statistically with its rivals... but does it stir the soul, envoke lust and desire??? Bland, dull as dishwasher, uninspiring as if designed by a H&S committee.

[@chrisbiggs4794]

This suzuki specifically.

[@kylejohnson617]

So you like Suzuki then!

[@ChrisS-nj3ye]

Dat muffler doe.

[@richard9444]

WTF is that bolted on the side!

[@mickeyfinn80]

gsxr fans ??? ain't seen one of them since 2006

[@corinful]

mickeyfinn80 That's funny you have a picture of one on your avatar 😂😂😂

[@mickeyfinn80]

+corinful . k6 750 awesome bike . they stopped making any significant improvements after 2006

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

mickeyfinn80 I love the gsxr 750

[@mickeyfinn80]

+Johonan andrew gomes me also . I'd love to see them give it a big update . little bit more power and some more aggresive styling . I'd buy another for sure. perfect track weapon

[@corinful]

mickeyfinn80 so your a closet Gsxr fan

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

☻

[@Tommy1198S]

The exhaust can must weigh 2 stone, yikes.

[@gray7890]

Tommy1198S new Yoshimura or m4 should do it right

[@EscapePlan97]

Ugly turn signals, ugly rear, ugly front and too small (IMHO)

[@rsoul7282]

Ring Jäger thanks for your positive feedback.

[@kasebaumnormal2254]

nasty nils

[@ArunJ_tvm]

Käsebaum normal yeah...😁

[@andylam4350]

No offense Suzuki but I'd rather get the BWM S1000RR For the same price.

[@rattletop]

looks uninspiring for a 2017 bike

[@Jman-co7xw]

same old boring inline 4 sound that day is so dead v4 or crossplane is the future

[@Jman-co7xw]

RDX GAMING NETWORK was referring to the sound

[@Ghostflasher]

holy crap! I have to say: suzuki knows how to make ugly bikes!

[@MartinTenglboss0218]

328,,,,,,,,,,,gl...............v........................2017

[@6488ott]

the bikes capabilities aside, it looks cheap in the flesh. If you look at the R1 for example, it may be more expensive but you can see where the money went.

[@danielszewczak7644]

Still don't like the tacky blue look

[@rajeshreddy2810]

that dash looks ugly

[@mihalis3392]

Bye Bye BMW S1000rr...

[@holdencaulfied7492]

Wow that's an ugly color scheme. Hope they have better looking paint options. It actually says "suziki" TWICE on each side with construction hi-viz striping. ouch.

[@gruffydd1000]

Disgusting. I need my k6 back.

Yea right, I have a K8, this one kill as both, thanks to vvt.

[@stevesalt2921]

Another dull uninteresting review by MCN!
