A little walk-round the 2022 Suzuki GSXS1000GT! // Suzuki just got SERIOUS! 💪

[@jameshutchins3396]

Another excellent walk around. Absolutely love your humor. So glad this is working out for you. Keep up the good work.

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks James, I'm always grateful for your lovely words!

[@nigeltankard6977]

lovely looking bike, I love the light blue colour, really shows off the angles. Grest spec for the money. Great out takes at the end, Love the signing at the end

[@UsernameKate]

Very nice spec for the cash money indeed!

[@shreddinjoe]

I'm very partial to this color scheme my self. Now they make them in a red...candy apple type red...very nice looking in my opinion

[@deanharris9331]

Kate, I know I always say this but you always amaze me with your memory of all the specs for the machine and for not getting tongue twisted with all the GSSX model's S,F,GT,R etc. LOL But honestly I think that there's a lot of interest for this bike and i can see Suzuki selling quite a few. As for colours I've got the new Gsxs 1000 naked in black which i love but those blue colours are very impressive. Great walk around again Kate and thanks for showing us those detachable panniers.....I think you're the first person to demonstrate how to remove them. Awesome going......looking forward for the follow up ride experience. 👍😊

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

Pannier removal was very helpful. I could visualize possibly owning a GT after Kate's walk around.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good walk round and first impressions video Kate. This is my favourite bike released this year. Look forward to your full review on it.

Great walk around,finally someone who gives good height indication, so many say there only say 5'6"/ 5'8"/6' but its all comes down to inside leg/seam measurement when you want to touch the ground, great vlog 👏🏍👍

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks guys 😊

[@headrace4863]

Yep, Suzuki will shift a fair few of these, and rightly so. Fantastic equipment levels and at a reasonable price. I’ve had loooaaaads of Suzi’s over the years and it seems as they’ve come up with a winner. Great info and good demonstration of the ‘bike. Be interested on your thoughts on fuelling when you ride it. Common trait on newer bikes is high revs at small throttle openings then winding on they can really snatch. Keep ‘em comin’ Kate. 👍👍

[@UsernameKate]

It's very very smooth. I was very impressed! Didn't feel a snatch with the throttle at all

Hi Kate before I transitioned to BMW I owned a number of Suzuki's GSXR 100m, Hayabusa's, Vstroms etc and found them the most reliable of bikes!! I am looking, in the near future, to move away from adventure bikes and go back to sport touring with 17.17 wheels and lower !!!! this is a great option and I will be test riding one at some point. well done , great content with regard to spec!

Despite the ludicrous price for panniers, cost of heated grips, lack of centre stand, I miss my old K8 and therefore I kinda want one of these now. Also, I'm far too pleased with myself for noticing you did the vid at Rivvie Barn carpark :D I used to go there every Sunday, many moons ago. Great sunday lunches.

Kate nice looking bike, I like the way the bags come off and pretty much leave a clean look. The front view reminds of a praying mantis. May I suggest (or feel free to tell me to jump in a lake) for those of us that don’t remember what the bike looks like on your ridding reviews will you flash the profile of the bike at some point on the video.

Great vid Kate, you do this walkarounds realy good, i love them! Look`s like a realy good bike, enjoy it! :-)

Thanks Leif!!

[@EbonB]

Suzuki really did a good job with this design in blue. Like the black, but not the goldish brown frame with it...if it was a black or silver frame I'd like it better. However, the bike looks good and the engine has a great history. Thanks for the walk around vid Kate. :-)

[@UsernameKate]

You're welcome Ebon, thanks for commenting :)

[@justmejohn773]

Hey 🐊. Great timing. This is one of the bikes I have shortlisted for my next bike. Looking forward to your thoughts on how it rides.

[@UsernameKate]

Buff, I LOVE IT... spoiler alert LOL

[@craigh6775]

i have just swapped my GSXS1000F for a brand new Tracer 9 GT , would have considered this bike but i wanted a more comfortable riding position , great to see Suzuki has finally starting to catch up with other manufacturers , TFT ! took them long enough and connectivity as well , even my Tracer hasn't got that , i do miss the 150bhp though. always had Suzuki's from GSXR1000 to TLR1000 , just thought i would try a different manufacturer.

[@UsernameKate]

Good choice of bike, I don't think there are bad bikes made anymore, just personal preference which on you prefer

[@easytiger652]

Another great video.😁👍

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jeffweier4824]

Suzuki is really onto a winner with this bike in Australia 🇦🇺. The Aussie Suzuki website says they've already sold out the first batch they imported and have got heaps of orders for more. It's understandable though because it's a top bike IMHO.

[@UsernameKate]

Interesting! I never knew that!

[@RayKelly1]

Thanks for that! I've been trying to find someone in a review with the same inside leg length as me 🙂... looks like I would fit this alright!

[@colmanmurphy963]

Nice looking bike. Has a sporty aggressive appearance about it. Solid looking machine. Should appeal to the younger sports tourer enthusiasts. Would be interesting to know how it feels on longer journeys.

[@michaelarmstrong4099]

Nice little plug about insurance with Bikesure, you being an ambassador and all that 👍🏼. I’m just wondering if you are allowed to also plug that if you’re a first time insurer with Biksure, that you can also get one year free membership to Motorcycle Action Group as well?

[@grumpsrides6074]

Great review Kate, very clear and concise. Well done, looking forward to the next ones. As far as the bike itself goes:- Not impressed! This is just my opinions, but, No adjustment on the screen, no centre stand, the fixing points for the panniers look very untidy, when there's no panniers fittted (kawasaki are much neater). I personally don't like the TFT dash, I think it could have been done better, more BMW like?!! Also, not a fan of the front end, too much like an R1 for me. As I said, just my opinions, each to their own, nice bike, not for me, but great review by you Kate. Grumps.

[@barryjmarling]

Really like this bike,fantastic walk through of the controls,especially for a technophobe (AKA old git) like me,really believe Suzuki will shift loads of these bikes. I know this is a really powerful bike,but the insurance seemed quite high,is it much different from your GS?

[@UsernameKate]

Yea I thought that! Strange how insurance works isn't it! Hmm, hard to say because I have 3 bikes insured on one policy so its not really broken down. I think they'll sell loads too!

Beautiful bike, is there available of the top box for GSX S1000 GT in the market?,it like beautiful look than both side box.

[@UsernameKate]

I think there will be - an aftermarket one! But I don't think the suzuki advise it because of high speed weave when a top box is fitted

[@ed.barker7069]

What are your thoughts on this Kate Vs the 1250RS? Which one would you rather ride to the South of France?

[@UsernameKate]

I'd just flip a coin and be happy with whatever outcome. Nooo, to be fair, probably the RS because I'd need the heated grips for such a long journey and you get them as standard 😊

[@colblimp1882]

Hi Kate, I have never used a quick shifter and auto blipper, so when you do the ride vid can you explain how this set up is used. Ta

[@UsernameKate]

Hey Col, I'll briefly mention it if it will help. Just means you can go up the gear box without clutch with a quick shifter and down the box with a blipper without clutch. It is quite common for bikes to come with quickshifters (going up) but not blippers (coming down) so having both is very nice! On this bike, you only need to pull the clutch in when stopping and let it out when setting off. Just use your foot to change gear as normal but you can just hold the bars and not concern yourself with pulling the clutch in :) hope this helps :)

[@colblimp1882]

Sorry Jim, what do you mean?

[@deandee8082]

about what I pay to insure a 2004 Busa, fully.. not bad considering, considering we have to pay for all the squids that routinely crash then all the bikes that get stolen, LOCK EM UP! alarms, GPS as in lo jack, all that, maybe even hide a phone somewhere tapped into the battery with the find my phone always on as well... jackers.... cannot stand em... also that 2022 has a slipper clutch as well, nice feature,... the clutch will break in and be a lil' easier to move after a few thousands miles but the auto blip and quick shift should not be use at slow riding speeds, you need at least 9.5k+ on the upshift for sure.. look into that so you are not wearing out your trans early.. thanks for the review, it's a gem of a bike for sure, I see you're getting 40 mpg is that mixed or? lucky girl for sure

👍Black, by the way excellent walk around. If you marketed Suzuki I think I would have bought the bike from you without even going for a demo ride.

Honestly, it is a cracking bike!! I even prefer it to the GSXS1000S!!!

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

@@UsernameKate I do too. I just don't like the appearance of the front lights on a gsxs 1000s. I can live with the additional weight because of just that fact. But when you removed the panniers that was excellent since no one had shown what the bike would look like without them. I could live without the panniers until I took a multi day trip. Most of the time I would be just enjoying 154 hp through the mountains. Indeed you must do well at BMW.

My only complaint about this bike is that there is no provision for a top box, which for for a GT bike isn’t good. Pillions prefer a top box for the additional security they offer plus the additional luggage capacity

[@UsernameKate]

Yes, that shocked me a bit! I mention it in my walk round as a gripe 😬

[@SLO-Ride]

To be fair, it began life as sport bike, and the original design simply doesn't accommodate a tail structure for a top box. To build a GT from the ground up, would certainly include a standard hard box pillion and panniers. Of course, here in the States, a GT is seen and used differently than Europe.
