How this channel only has 60k subscribers is beyond me... content quality blows the socks off any other motorbike channel. I appreciate it, keep it up!

Just the footage alone is light years ahead of the competition.

The frequency of content is a slight issue probably if growth is the goal

[@nayr8453]

People are not comprehending, a gigantic ugly muffler is better than a small and sleek muffler with a cat in front of it, the GSXR has the cat in the muffler, so You'd be getting rid of both by just getting a slip on. Unless I'm mistaken and the cat isn't in the can.

Stock Gixxer still makes 9.99 s in 1/4 mile, it is under 10 seconds, faster than stock S1K, for a stock bike this performance is amazing, if the ECU unlocked and that ugly muffler got removed, the gixxer can be a new benchmark, replacing the beemer hehe

[@Simon-df2ku]

been looking forward to this for what seems like ages, didn't disappoint. another brilliant video, keep it up guys you are way ahead of the competition .

[@motozest7856]

21:36 Funny, my experience is exactly the opposite: here in Portugal BMW dealerships are snotty as fuck, don't really care about the customer and once reliability bites you in the ass (as it always does with a BMW) you're in for a lot of pain. My experience with Suzuki and Kawasaki has been amazing - very competent and fast service.

[@darthvisor9289]

It was always like this. If you want fancy looks or image, buy something else, if you want to be the fastest, go for the Gixxer

[@scientificenigma]

Supersonic fastest? gixxers have been slower than like everyone else for about the past decade

[@adilkuwait91]

i have no hate on gsxr bro. i respect all superbikes. you can't go wrong either way. but I just don't like the way people hype gsxrs and diss other superbikes. when you compare them even from the past decades, gsxrs haven't changed at all except the 2017 model which puts it exactly with the current bikes range. a long time coming but better late than never.

[@bobbob8387]

Best channel I've found in a long time! It is like having my friends reviewing bikes. Really fun, unbiased and down to earth reviews! Amazing work guys! Keep it up! Subscribed! The only bad thing is that it makes me want to buy more bikes.. : P

this channel should have way more subscribers. it needs promoting more! I stumbled across it yesterday totes by accident and now I'm working my way thru all the videos!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice video gents and entirely agree about BMW service/ownership experience being of value and worth factoring in. I've not ridden the Suzuki yet so take your word on the thrills/performance front, but what let's it down for me is the looks - it aint an R1 or a Panigale is it? ....I know it shouldn't be about looks but you buy bikes with your heart and to me looks (like noise) is a big part of that.....thanks for posting, all the best - TMF

Top work gentlemen.Great entertainment and 1.53 is fair shifting at Jerez. Can't wait for my visit later this year. Like Doningyon Park plus 20%(no melbourne loop equivalent) and sunnier. The last sequence of 4 rights, with a deep breath everytime for the 4th of them is as good as it gets

[@TheSirKnight]

This is pure quality! I really want you guys to blow up in popularity, it seems so deserved!

[@kracerx]

I really preferred last year's review with the long road trip mixed in. Things like that 80-100 mile tank range on the R1 are much more critical than a few tenths here or there on the track for a rider like myself who will probably do a track day or two a year along with a few thousand road miles. That said, I still love your channel, keep up the good work!

[@themorganator]

awesome vid as always! Thanks guys!

[@welshdude6669]

Another great review guys, you're killing it. I still want the BMW though personally..

[@welshdude6669]

I haven't but it just doesn't appeal, ridden the new blade but I prefer the BMW as an ownership prospect for all the cruise control and heated grips etc as well as the dynamics

[@welshdude6669]

Loved it, fantastic handling and sounds immense, really strong engine

[@iannsr125]

ohnedBkiller I ride the blade on Saturday and it's a right wheelie king 2nd gear w8de throttle and she just picks tge front wheel up and feels strong no flat spots or does it feel held back . the brakes are sharp . the suzuki feels like it's holding back to me low end and won't lift the front wheel up on its own power unlike the honda if you just feather the throttle it pulls up lol . but if you want a fun adrenaline food build quality bike buy the honda . but it's not as fast as the suzuki and I found it hard to accelerate as it pulls realy hard where the gsxr is liner so you don't feel as if your being ripe off the bike

[@welshdude6669]

I did notice that, 2nd and 3rd gear the TC kicked in and the front wheel touched back down, engine felt and sounded superb!

[@iannsr125]

Joe Yha i must say I enjoyed the honda more but the suzuki was on level 7 tc so it may have been the reason why it felt boring lol . but i'm torn between the honda and suzuki. I gues I'll buy both lol

Echo what’s been said, great review guys, watched a lot of the others too, some of the best. I’m riding a 2018 version, simply superb bike, love it. My only criticism is that they did not make the exhaust half the size again and put ALL the cat into it lol. One thing I like to do with my bikes is the add ons, exhaust etc. Seen the arrow pipe video, brilliant, looks nice. I’m torn between two, the arrow or the Austin racing one, these sound and look superb 😎

[@chalkphil]

Top video guys...again! Funny, informative and polished. Very much agree with the comment about that premium service from beemer dealers - they really are tuned into the bike buying public. When you do another of these videos from a track, can we have a full lap view please? I know doing a full lap commentary is a bit like Steve Parrish did back in the day, but Jerez looked mega and it would've been good to see it all. Loved it all though...great.

+44Teeth First of all: Great video. this is how I discuss bikes with my friends. Love the honesty. Keep it up. (that means i subscribed. ;) ) I only started watching this video, just because it is about bikes (and I was curious on your opinion on the GSX-R. duh), but with my mind made up already as to which bike I want to get: The Fireblade. But as the video went on, I was reminded on how much fun I had on my GXR-750k9 and I found myself thinking, maybe I should research this a bit more :P Then, around the 10 minute mark, you mentioned the finishes on the GSX-R. the waterpump, the welds, other small things. Those were exactly the same comments I had on my GSX-R750. When I compared it to my previous bikes (CBR-600's), the difference in quality was very much there. Also, the gearbox wasn't as smooth and forgiving as the Hondas. Another thing I'm hesitant about with the GSX-R is the on-off throttle you mention. Though, as you say, that can probably be smoothed out a bit with some tuning. So hearing you having those same critiques, puts me squarely back in the Fireblade camp again. :)

LOL the intro is sick my bike been down for three months and I still sit on it like a big kid and make those noise LOL damn I miss riding my GSXR

The review I have been waiting for...fab. Just one small tiny point...for a 16K bike I don't really want it to have a blipper that is so, so and slightly ifi fueling mid corner. I have no doubt it's the muts nuts and like you say, feels like it betters the S1000rr, but for that sort of money, in this day and age of uber electronic magic it should probably be spot on....just a small point.
