It's a bidirectional quick shifter.. only quick shifts up... not down...😅

[@unrealhaole]

Bought the GSX-8R weeks ago and I’ve been loving it so far. It’s my first bike and I’m 6’6, so comfort was my main concern.

[@SurfingisLife674]

I too bought this bike in part because of my height. I'm 6'3. It's nice to have a bike that is comfortable for us tall guys. And imo it's a fun bike to ride. I'm having a blast on it and have no regrets.

[@mohdgaith2939]

6ft3 and glad you mentioned this. Same struggle. Was worried it might be too small as usual like most bikes. Getting myself one after summer.

[@unrealhaole]

[@Powermad-bu4em]

I'm 6'5" and my GSX8R feels like it was built specifically for me. Especially with my beat up knees. My brother has an '06 GSXR-750 that is an absolute weapon of a bike but my big ass just can't fit on it. I've put a tail tidy on mine and just got my new levers today. I love this bike and in the 2 weeks I've owned it all I've gotten are compliments. It's the yellow btw.

Just got a GSX8R myself, and after about 100 miles I noticed the auto blipper/quickshift down was smoother.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

Yep. I've got 60 on mine and I can feel the up and down smoothing out.

[@vtxfan]

I noticed the same thing with the gsxr1000r. It took about 1200mi and 2 oil changes for it to start smoothing out though.

[@paulconnell1309]

yep.. really good after 2-3,000 kms

[@BakerBikerGeshe]

Hell yeah Daddy Yammie!!! Super great vidja and so stoked to see your vibes with the 8r. Its definitely my current dream bike since Suzuki launched it. I can hear the slight annoyance in your voice every time you say Daytona 660, and its adorable....I understand...I understand bro *hugs you*

I'm tired of European regulations forcing motorcycle companies to switch to parallel twins for the sake of meeting emissions. These bikes sound boring. BRING BACK THE SV1000S!

[@ninja1970fin]

Zx4rr and zx6r are avail for 2024 in EU too

[@christosswc]

Not making much sense mate. If two cylinders are enough to achieve your HP goal and have tons of torque to go with, why would you want to have more. More weight, more complexity, higher consumption, higher manufacturing cost,higher maintenance cost, peakier, less mid to low range torque, bulkier. Only reason to go up in number of cylinders is for making more power, I can tell you Suzuki made exactly as much power as they wanted for this bike.

[@stevegolik8090]

I think this bike is going to do very well for Suzuki.

[@facelessrider]

I just bought this yesterday. Upgraded from a 2012 Ninja 650. It has a ton more power than my Ninja. I'm fully enjoying it so far. Even though I'm still in the break-in period. My only gripes are, no cruise control, and the inability to put a slip-on installed without replacing the full exhaust. Other than that, amazing upgrade for me, and an amazing bike. Got a 3 year, unlimited mile warranty for mine too, that allows mods.

[@chrisgarret3285]

Day 3 of ownership and Im in love already. Get one if you can. So much power!

[@pneumaticman5927]

lol! Been there!

[@dermuschelschluerfer]

after about 3000-4000km on my gsx8s the quickshifter and blipper work very good. You have to press a bit harder than normal of course but you can really take corner liek a race car, going quickly up and down between 4th and 1st gear. Id say from my personal experience the quickshifter has a bit of a longer "break in" period.

[@tominglis9690]

On my V-Strom 800 DE the quick shifter got 100% better after I put on an aftermarket pipe.

[@hackiess8146]

Just bought myself one as my first bike you convinced me can’t wait to drop it

[@juliaroman9349]

My son just became a member he's really into bikes it's all he talks about in fact he's the reason I watch your channel

[@MalShakur]

Rode the 8S last year and it was one of the most fun bikes I've ridden in a long time. It's the fun of riding a slower bike fast. Plenty of torque down low where you're going to use it on the street without the need to rev the bike to the moon to get it moving. I think this bike and others like it are going to take over track days and club racing the same way the SV650 did 20+ years ago. The more experienced among you know what I'm talking about.

[@paulconnell1309]

Agree. Bought one. But like th look of the 8R

[@davidxbu]

Best review of this bike yet on the internet!

Good for you. I pulled the trigger on the 8R in Suzuki Blue. Just beautiful!!! Will be my last bike as well I'm sure. Nothing else is needed. Ride safe and enjoy!

[@tyler87kelley]

When I was 18 I bought a Suzuki bandit 600 and this new 8r seems pretty similar to it. Just might have to test ride one of these new bikes.

[@GreenMeanie14]

I got one 3 weeks ago. In az at ridenow they are on sale for 7950. And they are selling like hotcakes. Fantastic bike. Been riding supersports for years. This bike has it all.

[@paulconnell1309]

Great review. Loved it. Can’t wait for more. I have the 8S. Thinking of trading when the 8R gets here. The quick shifter; first it does soften with a couple or three thousand kms and secondly you have missed the point. The bike is designed to be ridden at 3-7000 rpm and is exciting in that range. As you said you ride in a higher gear, shift at 7000 even in a hurry. That means you change down at lower revs too. Change down at 3-5,000 rpm and it is smooth and easy, after 2-3000 km of riding. You can even change down with some power on. And if you are holding revs dead constant, always use the clutch up and down. Suzuki missed that memo.

[@brandonneves4144]

I had a 2013 Suzuki Gladius (the ugly duckling SV650 clone/variation) as my first bike. Loved it a lot, especially as a first bike. I put a ton of custom work into it after crashing it the first time and surprisingly made it beautiful. I thank that bike for giving me my first riding experiences and full bike tear-down/rebuild experience. Going by how you describe your experiences on that GSX8R, and how it sounds and appears to accelerate and it's gear ratio's, it honestly just seems as if Suzuki just pumped out a renewed full-faired SV650. Which isn't bad at all, in fact, the SV650 is an extremely coveted bike by all racers, from amateur to pro. Practically universally known as the ultimate starting/beater track bike. Glad to see Suzuki still competing well.

[@Bonzi2]

It's selling super well because in the UK you get 4.9% APR, 0 deposit required. It's 130 pounds a month on PCP for 3 years. That's cheaper than council tax. Also in the UK suzuki offer 7-year/ 70,000 mile warranty. I'd say suzuki UK is a bit of an exception.

[@jarekcarden1709]

[@ripntearslayer9101]

Michelin, just this year, released the power 6. I dont have much experience on different tires, but i am absolutely loving these. Coming off of worn Dunlop Q3 (i think) these handle and grip like a dream for my SV1000s. Id like to see you do a review on them. I think they would pair well with that gsx8r.

[@Trevster65]

I have 8s and have nearly 3000 miles on it and love it, my quick shifter works great up and down so not sure what the issue is with your 8r.

[@itzikca]

Id like to see your take on the Daytona 660

[@ragerider6283]

Nice review. I bought one! If you, in the general sense, can get past your ego, it's all the road bike you need. It's a great all round package but I wouldn't personally be looking to go to the track on it any time soon. However, I don't intend to so not an issue for me personally. Only complaint as you say so far is rhe QS is a bit rough on downshift's but based on the other owners comments, it does loosen up & get better with use over time supposedly.

Now that you’ve gotten your hands on this and the Daytona 660 you should do a comprehensive comparison guide for every middleweight sport bike: Daytona 660, gsx8r, ninja 650, r7, cbr650r, aprilia 660 … maybe cfmoto 675sr when it comes out

[@petedetraglia4776]

The Aprilia 660 all day every day...Just my 2 cents...I've been eyeing the Aprilia Tuono 1000 for the past few season now. Just can't spend $16,000 on a motorcycle in this economy...

[@stevec6427]

​@petedetraglia4776 the Aprilia should be better, it's a lot more expensive.

[@paulconnell1309]

@@petedetraglia4776 The list price of the RS660 is 30% more. In a drag race video the RS660 only caught the 8R at 115kph and then did not scream away. The 8R is a bit quicker for every lazy day riding. More torque.

[@charlesharalson487]

All these top vloggers highly rate this bike. Not a single bad review so far. It's not surprising seen as it has all the looks, price point, and perfect combination of street+track ready abilities and can easily be modded specifically for either or type of riding. It's going to be my first middleweight bike. It's the only one that I like the look of too. I commute daily weather permitted. Will retire my beginner bikes to start with the track until I find my next bike (either for track or commuting).

[@paulconnell1309]

I rode that bike back to back with the 8S. The 8S is snappier as the S750 makes its torque higher u the rev range. On the S750 you have to wait or change down. Can't argue the top end, but you will seldom get the Hp to the road as after a gear change or two you will be going too fast. The 8R has more accessible and sharper power, despite the numbers.

The stock seat is not very comfortable and hits some of the pressure points, but I want to be able to ride this thing for more than a half hour without pain

[@florme6494]

Heavily looked at this bike as a sport tourer, or a comfortable sport bike with good fuelling. Only 3 petty things stopped me, low pegs, 180 rear tyre (really wanted a 190) and 2 cylinder (really wanted to get a 4 cylinder due to them becoming instinct, also that to me is what’s in my head a sport bike should have). Spent a little more and went for the ninja 1000sx and honestly couldn’t be happier. I thought I might get buyers remorse but the extra due to the premium look and feel made it worth it. That being said I respect this bike just as much, and I’m sure I would have been happy with it. My compromise was parting with my cash. I am a cheap guy with OCD 😂. Meaning I don’t want to spend more money than something is worth and any short coming will literally play on my mind causing me to loose sleep until I get rid of the problem. I find for someone like me, spend extra for the things I’m truly passionate about, and cheap scape the day to day items that I lack interest in. The yellow and black looks great on this bike. Blue I’m not the biggest fan.

[@wetland3010]

Ha ha. I bought the blue one coz I liked it best. The other colours look fantastic too - tough choice.

[@MarissaTheMuse]

The RS660 having all these benefits while also being able to rev out completely and make power to redline is sweet. It’s such a shame triumph couldn’t just give us a modified 675 that did the same thing but with 100ish instead of 120+. I get this bike actually has a bit more torque down low, but I can trade that for a more complete package.

R7 is much more sporty feeling, which you may find uncomfortable for longer rides. If you plan to do a ton of sporty riding Id go with it. The MT07 has pretty meh suspension but is a fun bike to be a hooligan on. Not great for highway and a bit rough around the edges nowadays. The 8R is kinda like a sport touring bike. Good for highway use and getting around town and having some fun. It weighs a bit more though.

Maybe some clip-on risers on the r7 and the pain goes away? If not I still like the sporty look better than the naked, so there's my vote

MT07 is a fine machine.
