First Ride And Review Of The New 2022 Suzuki GSX-S 1000GT

[@rantANDrave1987]

This is the best value in motorcycling. 150 bhp with all the features you want, none you don’t need. Suzuki needs to get this thing to the states ASAP

[@RickyLafleur10]

Should be arriving around March April had to pre-order it to make sure I got one. This is going to be a popular bike I think nice to see more sport tourer options at a reasonable price.

[@stevenw354]

They have them now

[@esjihn]

just bought a new 2023 one with two miles :)

[@musamusa2961]

Yes, Thank God I will buy one of each of them

[@scott4204]

Great review. I was not sure about the black until I saw your review....it looks amazing. Thinking about picking one up if I can find one here in Florida.

[@MotoEcosse]

Yeah it looks great in black. Hopefully you can pick one up. 🤜🤛

[@AndygsxrK]

Went in today and put my order in for one delivery due in May but so glad I have ordered it .Thanks for the great video .

[@MotoEcosse]

Glad you enjoyed it, Andy. That's awesome that you've ordered one. Enjoy. 🤜🤛

[@sabre0461]

Great review! I am already 99% in on buying this bike, so I'm checking out all the videos on it, and you gave me a different perspective than the others. Keep it up, I subscribed!

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Sabre. Appreciate that. 🤜🤛

[@charlesemerson6763]

Nice review. I own a GSX-S1000F, actually just bought it as I couldn't be bother waiting for the GT to appear. Fantastic bike, very similar to GT, handles beautifully, stops the same and is great fun.

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

Except the engine is nowhere near that of the k5/k6

[@MotoEcosse]

Had some slight audio issues in the video, plus the footage on SD card in the GoPro on the bike was somehow corrupted. It will be sorted for the next video. Hopefully you enjoy the video.

[@glynhannaford7332]

That bike looks a keeper. Great review too. 👏

[@Rick1984FL]

Greetings from the US! Can’t wait until I see these in person here. This is on the shortlist for what to buy this year for me :D

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Rick. Guarantee you won't be disappointed. Absolute lovely bike to ride. 🤜🤛

[@stevenw354]

Have you purchased one yet?

[@Rick1984FL]

@@stevenw354 negative. I’ve seen them in person and we don’t get the beautiful blue color of Europe and I lost interest in it in essence.

[@stevenw354]

@@Rick1984FL I found one in the US darker blue close to me. I’m thinking the Kawasaki 1000SX is a better bike. I’m taller as well. Going to try to find a Kawasaki in the showroom to compare to make my decision.

[@jonburgess9903]

Good review. I had a test ride on one on Monday. Loved it and have one on order in Triton blue. Arriving in April.

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Jon. Bike looks amazing in blue as well. Have fun when and ride safe when it arrives. 🤜🤛

Thanks, Steven. I appreciate that mate. 🤜🤛

[@ThierryPaquet]

Hello, thank you for this great review! I also own a Suzuki SV, model SV1000S. It's a great bike and very fun to ride. It's hard to part with it, but the lack of comfort on long journeys, especially for the back, finally convinced me to change. The arrival of the new GSXS1000GT makes me hope to find a worthy replacement with character, but more comfortable for me and my passenger on long journeys. What do you think?

[@MotoEcosse]

Well I've been riding my sv650s for about 2 years. I did change the handle bars to the straight bars because it was uncomfortable on longer journey's. The straight bars definitely help a lot, but the new GT is super comfortable to ride. The problem I have with the bar swap on the SV is the pegs are positioned for the clip ons. Not a massive deal it just takes a bit of getting used to. Where as the new GT has comfort in mind. It is a sport tourer so it's specifically designed to for longer trips. It would manage pillion riding with ease and I'm sure both rider and pillion would benefit from it's comfortable riding style. If you get a chance to test ride one I'd definitely recommend it, guarantee you won't be disappointed.

[@ThierryPaquet]

@@MotoEcosse Many thanks, you convinced me! :-)

[@michaelbranagan96]

Just thought I'd drop a comment as i'm another SV1000S rider looking at this bike 😂 Impeccable taste boys! I'd be keeping the SV if I get one of these though, would be a great pair.

[@herecomesjefree]

Great review mate! Keep 'em coming!

Good effort for a first review. I hope to see more. Regards, Denis

[@MotoEcosse]

Appreciate that, Dennis. 🤜🤛

[@intrigue175175]

How does it compare to your SV power, handling wise? Is your SV the 1000 or 650? I have the 1000s

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Charlie. I have the 650s. The GT is a lot faster and comfortable and really easy to ride and flick around. 🤜🤛

[@michellemackie5433]

@@MotoEcosse thats what i ride and would love your opinion of one, hope you can get one!!

[@davidg2116]

Great first effort. Well articulated. How do you think this would manage zipping through city commuter traffic. Would it be a bit clunky or steering not tight enough?

[@MotoEcosse]

I actually think it would make a great commuter. The bike itself weighs about 220kgs but it super light and easy to flick around. I never found it clunky the whole time I was riding it and turning around in the carpark was nice and easy. 🤜🤛

[@davidg2116]

@@MotoEcosse ok that's good. I'm looking for something to commute in to central London so something easy to control that can filter through traffic and can eat a few miles on motorway too. But also be fun to have as it'd be my only bike.

[@MotoEcosse]

@@davidg2116 This is definitely an option. A bonus with a bike like this is the quick shifter. Not in and out with the clutch if you're up and down gears constantly. This is obviously an option with a lot of modern bikes as well. 🤜🤛

[@beverleynorth4914]

Good review. About the right length, plenty of info on the bike

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Beverly. 🤜🤛

[@nigelgreen7657]

Nice review, when you have the sat nav showing on the screen, does it still show your speed somewhere ?

[@MotoEcosse]

It does mate yeah. Apologies for the late reply. 🤜🤛

[@jmackd1]

great video, i have one on order....I wonder what the little LED light beside the ignition switch is for, no one seems to know what that little light is for....

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Jeff. That's awesome you've got one on order. I'm not exactly sure either. Whether it's just some form of reminder the ignition is on I'm don't know. I couldn't find any info on it. 🤜🤛

[@milodebruin4821]

People's have said it's to indicate that the immobilizer is on.

[@mangkepweng3291]

i hope someday i have a bike like this

[@MotoEcosse]

Me too 🤣

[@SickBikeDude]

Finally someone shows it in black 😎

@@MotoEcosse super …thanks a ton 🙏🤗

[@harryreece5437]

I was debating this bike as my first big bike, ive ridden on alot of 125s and rode a zx6rr for roughly a month would you say this bike is suitable for a first big bike for a sensible rider

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Harry. Well if you're comfortable and confident on a 600cc then it could possibly an upgrade option, but only if you're confident on at least a 600cc. I would only recommend moving up to something like this if you're absolutely sure you're going to be ok with the power. Although this bike is a sports tourer, it is incredibly powerful and very fast. The best thing to do is to try and arrange a test ride on one and see how you feel.

[@creamychocpazo]

Cracking mate . Ayrshire

[@robertjenkins256]

Moto ecosse glad to see your back doing videos mate if your ever down near dumfries and galloway give me a shout brother it'd be good to get a ride I owe you many many thanks passed my mod 1 and 2 all thanks to your videos great information and explained spot on thanks G!

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Robert. That's awesome to hear man. Haven't been along that way in a long time. Next time I'm through I'll maybe give you a shout. 🤜🤛

[@RikardJohansson1]

Is it comparable to the Kawasaki ninja 1000sx performance tourer?

[@MotoEcosse]

Hey, Rickard. I don't imagine there would be a lot of difference. I haven't ridden the Ninja yet so I'm not 100% how they'll compare while riding. 🤜🤛

[@stevenw354]

I watched a lot of reviews. Kawasaki is more refined, potentially better for taller people, Suzuki make power at higher RPMs and maybe more sporty feeling

[@ronaldbear1]

What’s a quick shifter? Is it the same as an automatic In a car? Eg: no clutch?

[@MotoEcosse]

You still have to manually switch gears, but there's no need to use the clutch lever. 🤜🤛

[@2Bob_Rocket]

As good a review as many others, great first one 😀👍🏼 video was a bit pixelated on big telly but still watchable 👍🏼

[@MotoEcosse]

Cheers, Gordi. Never had this issue. I'll look into it. 🤜🤛

[@beverleynorth4914]

When changing up with quick shifter do you have to be at high revs

[@MotoEcosse]

No, once you pull away in 1st you can change up as and when you need. Only difference is there's no need to use your clutch. You don't even need to get off the throttle to change. Makes changing up and down really easy and a lot faster. 🤜🤛

[@beverleynorth4914]

@@MotoEcosse ok thought on some bikes that you have to be at top of rev range for quick shifter not to be clunky

[@cable1722]

@@beverleynorth4914 I have a 2021 CB650R with factory QS (up shifts only). Don’t need to be at high revs but for first to second you do need to be accelerating quite hard.

[@cjyu2]

Really miss my SV650s but i didnt feel it was that upright position but this bike looks like a couch in comparison!

[@MotoEcosse]

Yeah it really is a comfortable bike. My sv has the renthal straight bars on it so the riding position is similar, but no where near as comfortable. 🤜🤛

How much protection do you get with the screen. Hope you get to review the 1000cc ninja Kawasaki and the bmw r 1250rs

[@MotoEcosse]

The standard screen actually gives a good amount of protection. If you went for the tourer style screen it, which is around 7cm taller, the wind protection would be incredible. Hopefully I can get to bring you some more reviews. Really enjoyed making this video. 🤜🤛

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I am also interested in this bike. Rode the R1250rs. Can check. :)
