GSXR-1000R 14 Month Ownership Update | Should You Buy One?

Performance Bikes has been running this 2017 GSXR-1000R for 14 months now from Suzuki UK. Its had a rather hard life with multiple track days, a British Winter and even a 121 mph lap of the TT with Michael Rutter!
The bikes currently been in my keeping for 3 months so its about time I gave you an update of exactly hows its performed during its time as a PB test mule. Whats been good, whats been bad and what mods are recommended for this amazing machine.

I have a white 2018 gsxr 1000R and use it to go to work and back. Awesome bike, don’t have to go fast, you can ride in 6th gear @ 45 to 50 and have power to move without down shifting. Great commuter bike and with A,B,C power settings and 10 traction control, you can set it up like a 600cc, 750cc or 1000cc, so you have like 3 bikes in one.

[@wolverine1854]

Damn bro you having my dream bike with my favourite colour on it that too❤

[@thumperdumper6654]

Recently bought a 2022 gsxr1000 and absolutely love it. All I can say is,go get yourself one too🤘🏻.

[@afenijmeijer9027]

Great bike. Suzukis Gixxers are mind blowing. Fast, comfortable, bullet proof and easy to maintain.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Vibrations came from eliminating a counter-rotating balance shaft which the last-gen GSX-R had. Less inertia for the engine to overcome, but more vibration. It's a trade off. The 1990's big i-4 engines sometimes had 2 counterbalance shafts. They were like glassssssss at all RPM. Just glass even at 8-9K revs.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yep a lovely machine alright....and a cracking video in the sunshine enjoyed that (although I may of course question that this is THE ultimate GSXR1000 video ;0) ) - all the best mate!

Should you buy one? Are you kidding me? I bought a near mint K-5. It is absolutely brilliant!!!! Yes, Unequivocally, yes. Buy one!!! I've owned three other liter bikes and the Suzuki is by far the most comfortable. I'll be getting another one for sure.

Gets the juices flowing... I know how you feel - my bike journey started about 15yrs ago: GSXF600, SV650s, R1100RT, Africa Twin, XR450, VFR800, ZX7R, '01 Pan European, '04 Fireblade, '14 K1300s, '15 S1000RR, '18 FJR1300 ..now looking at an 899/959 (..or maybe I should look at a GSXR!) #ineedhelp ..keep my cars for anywhere from 3-7 years, but bikes are lucky if they last 6 months; they are to me what Nerf guns are to my lad! Maybe I'll grow up on day ..hope not :)

I have a K3 750. 40,000 on the clock. The exhaust manifold has rusted I think so it sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders hahahah.

[@teapotone]

It’s like all the biking Gods are transpiring to get me to return to the GSX-R fold! It’s weird, of late I’ve really been hankering to try the new GSX-R1000R and now all I seem to find on KZbin are review vids of it. Great to see your long term vid is so positive about it Chops, and that engine note brings back great memories of my Beast when she was on the road. I just may have to pay a visit to Haslemere Motorcycles and take one for a spin. You going to the NEC next month?

[@LambChopRides]

It's a great bike Bruce I never thought I would buy a sports bike again but I'm going too!

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Do it Teapotone would love to see a review vlog from you on the GSXR , get rid of the GS and slippers 😋

[@matspatpc]

Today is my 1 year anniversary of getting the "single R" version. I have done two trips to mainland Europe, 2500 miles down to Austria and back in late May and a few weeks back I went through France to Hockenheim and then into East Germany and back to England. Just a few miles short of 14000 miles. It had 1300 miles when I got it. Love it, can't think of a bike I'd rather have. Particularly like the low-down torque, whilst still being able to scream up to 14k rpm if you wish. You can pretty much ride anywhere in your choice of 2nd to 6th gear. Could do with a slightly bigger tank, but if you are riding long distance on motorway at legal-ish speeds, sticking it in B mode, it will do ~50 mpg. Autobahn at around 100-120mph cruising does reduce the range quite notably - not exactly surprising.

Does the 1000 feel lot heavier than the 750?

[@digitalorgy3784]

@@maisondav1d no it feels just like a 750 with ton more power. I think it’s only 40 lbs heavier that a 750 that’s all motor weight :)

[@sambyf2445]

I had a 750 and a 1000 after that. To me the 1000 felt better in the bends. Plus the power on the 1000 is simply levels above the 750. For all the chat about 750 being the perfect balance between the 600 and the 1000, I didn’t find this to be the case.

I've fitted puig sport foot pegs, the ones with rubber , and fitted domino soft grips and filled ends with silicone, then fitted r&g bar ends. No more vibration

[@LambChopRides]

Great tips Gary will try that 👍

[@brianbrooks5947]

I bought a 2021 zx10r and still fantasize about the gsxr

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Suzuki decided to remove the counter-balance shaft from the previous engine design and go without in this new engine. As a result, there's less inertia to spin up, but more vibration. Generally the VVT in the engine allows Suzuki to tune heavier torque in the midrange as a normal operating condition (normal cam timing). It only clocks the cam at high rpm to allow the dual personality of strong midrange and ferocious top end. Other bikes have to choose one and drop the other.

[@LambChopRides]

Ah that would explain it, thanks for the info 👍

[@kevinroark5815]

Hey Lamb chops, we all wanna see your review on the K5 -K6 GSXR.

I have the 2020 model and you can cruise at 60km/h on 6th gear really comfortably even lower speeds if you want but it holds the gears really really well more than what you expect. Even on it's manual it says... if you want to ride economically you can change to 2nd gear at 20km/h to 3rd gear at 30km/h to 4th gear at 40km/h and so on......

I absolutely adore my 2018 R model.

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Ross Weitzner from your channel it looks like you had a RSV4 before ? If so can I ask why you changed to the GSXR and if you tested any others before you bought it ?

[@RossWeitzner]

@@theincrediblesulk5543 - In 2006 I had a great enlightenment when I traded my TL1000R for a GSX-R750. I knew within 100 feet of riding the 750, that the previous 8 years of wrestling the TL were essentially wasted. In 2012 I bought a GSX-R1000L2. I put an Ohlins shock on it and had the forks revalved (I thought the BPF forks were crap). It was, I thought, the perfect bike. Back to back 500 mile day-long rides to track days. I loved it. But as much as I've mentioned only Suzukis, I always thought of myself as a Honda person. And I was mad that Honda never made good on their promise to build an V4 1000. So on a whim, I bought the RSV4R. It had power and electronics like I'd never experienced, but I didn't fit on it very well as I have short arms and legs. Not freakishly-so, but... I fit on a Honda NC30 better than a ZX-12, if that makes sense. I also had quality problems with the Ape. Fuel tank had begun to bubble, it developed an oil leak, the switchgear was vague, and I had little to no dealer support. And riding it was hard. It was heavy, hot, and very hard to ride at slow speeds -- for me. So I decided to trade it in for a GSX-R750L6. And I felt like I was home. Sure, I missed the power, but it was an order of magnitude more enjoyable to ride. And then my dealer asked if I'd be interested in a GSX-R1000RL8 at 0% financing for 5 years. I said sure. Honestly, I wasn't prepared for how good the 1000L8 is. It's the best motorcycle I've ever ridden at any price (I've ridden an RC30, RC45, 999R, and an MV F4 312R like the one BvG is riding over on 44 Teeth). The more I ride it, the more I want to ride it. I'm sure the CBR-RR-SP is very good. The quality is probably better. But the total package doesn't work as well for me as the Suzuki. I installed Galfer stainless lines and a Yamaha R1 Brembo master cylinder, which 100% solves all the vagueness if the brakes. Once they're manufactured, I'll install Helibars (a US firm that builds top-top quality taller handlebars) because at 46 years old, I'm probably not the intended demographic of this bike. And, I'll install the cruise control kit that Lamb Chop referenced in the video. Sorry for the length.

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Ross Weitzner thanks for the detailed response, very interesting as I also used to own a GSXR 750. Glad you love the bike, and agree the Cruise Control is a must.

[@markjolly8311]

I think you like it 😀. Did you ever try the KTM RC8R? That was the most comfortable and sweet handling sports bike I have ever ridden, you could adjust handlebar height, foot peg and rear ride height for comfort and handling, of course with a good adjustable WP steering damper and the torque, ok not as good as the SD but good, and similar HP. Yes I have a SD now but in many ways I wish I still had it. However, no I haven’t ridden the latest GSXR 1000

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I did try a RC8 R and loved it. Would consider one if they brought out a new one. With the new SD engine bet it would be incredible!

[@yassim0008]

14:05. Vehicle stops unexpectedly for an unknown reason. Driver driving behind proceeds to pass (99/100 times thinking: what is this driver doing). The reason could be a person, an animal, an obstacle, an object, anything. 14:50 Cause they offer no wind protection. Had a cb1000 Honda and it was a terrible experience driving past 50. Especially going to Daytona doing 80mph to get there . 15:22. Nothing tops riding superbikes on the street as a liicense to die.

Mega review, thanks for that! Concerning the quickshifter / blipper system of the gsxr. So you mean this system is better than the s1000r(r, xr) and rsv/tuono v4? Can you please compare it to the translogic aftermarket system? Which supposed to be one of the best to buy? I want a smooth butter quickshifter and blipper for my mt09 sp, which works in every Rev. The original Quickshifter isn't really nice smooth and I know the difference from other brands what's possible :). I think like you, just way more fun to shift on the daily rides with those systems... And don't say you can do it without or it's just for track! 🙄🤐😂. Thank you ✊👊💪

[@LambChopRides]

I would say it's better than those you mentioned, the others are really good but GSXR one has the edge. Translogic system is amazing and standard equipment on Triumphs now, the mt09 system is junk unfortunately imo, I'm sure Translogic will be an 100% improvement over stock. It would be my choice

[@MirdenLayra]

Sorry if my english is bad, isn't my native language but I will try. I have been watching motorcycle videos for almost 4 years, just dreaming with reaching mine someday, and I have never seen someone (or a channel) that could review one with so much details. Often people (including me) just try to find in different videos the information we are searching because you can't have all in one video, well, that was the case until I reach this one. I have 2 doubs, hoping someone can help me to clear my mind because in other blogs or videos I didn't get an answer, I also most say that I didn't went to my local dealership of honda to ask my doubts, I know, probably that could be the way but... I prefer to ask here, I know you all will be honest and speak from their experience, at dealerships I think sometimes they dont do that... But first of all, I want to thank you, for doing this amazing full of quality job and bring us a priceless product, I'll definitely subscribe. Now, to not extend more my text (I could spend more trying to explain how excited I am for finding this channel) Doubts 1.- Is it true that sportbikes in general can have issues on their engines if you drive 'em at low revs? I know they are meant to fly like a missile, but just as I saw in the video, what if some days you just want to commute with calm and tranquillity? I'm not saying I would never rip off that throttle, but the idea of "if you are not running like crazy 99% of the time with this engine, it will break down" it's chasing me. I have read texts of some people here on youtube that are mechanics (so they say) that most ppl go back to dealership with their engines having issues because they just dont ride them on high revs so... I just don't know what to think. 2.- How is the water issue going? I mean, every motorcycle needs to be built to resist water in my opinion, choppers sportbikes enduro adventure etc, but want to ask, how careful do you have to be with the water? you can just wash this motorcycle (or any motorcycle with all these electronics) without any trouble in mind? you can just drive her on the rain for hours without issues? No problems with the components or something important? -I would really really appreciate it if someone takes the time to read and answer me, I'm the only one in my family that loves motorcycles so I have no one to lean on, also no friends here, I'm like an hermit. Blessings to all!.

[@nothingnessis]

Hey! I just discovered this vid and saw ur comment, I've been riding for just 5 years so take it with a grain of salt. 1. No this is not the case as far as I know, even though they are sportbikes they still follow the general principles of engines. Heatcycles are what would potentially damage the engine in extreme cases and the long run. Such as if you take the bike only for 30min trips multiple times per day, that would in general be worse than a single trip 2-4hrs long, regardless of type of bike. 2. Yes you can just wash the motorcycles without any trouble, my bike sits outside in the rain all year except winter and is completely fine. If you use a pressure washer however, dont point the nozzle point blank onto the motorcycle, engine and electronics. keep the nozzle like 50cm or so away at least.

You didn’t answer your own title question. I’m thinking of buying a tuono after owning a 2012 gsxr 750 for a few years is it better than a tuono? Also the the 2018 updates should be applied as a recall free of charge on all pre 2018 bikes. Ridiculous that they decide to put thicker discs and bigger pistons calipers on new models and not recall old models.

[@Birky_41]

I've had 2 gsxr 750s, I now own an L8 1000 and I also own a Tuono 1100. Personally I couldn't compare the two as they go about their ways quite differently. Gsxr is much more refined, Aprilia has a more special feel about it

Me too, broke my back on a Ducati 999R Fila but continued with 4 more sport bikes painfully for a total of 11,finally couldn't do it any more with my final a 2015 R1 but loved the crossplane 4 so wanted to try a Supernaked, fell in Love with the MT10, couldn't ride my R1 for more than an hour, my MT10 can ride for a good 10-12 hours, not kidding. Also, did a cat delete , race filter and NelsTune tuned the ECU, making around 182 hp and it's all low and midrange , unbelievable and ride all day long! Just a thought! Loved the tuono 1100 Factory and th superduke 1290r 1.0 BUT $7,000 LESS for a MT10 was worth it to me. Before you give up on goin fast and performance try a Supernaked of you haven't already! Sold my MT10 after 2 years but it's been a month and looking st another! Miss it too much! 👌

[@neilcole3406]

I think he likes it!

[@renfro64]

Do you think the GSX R1000R would be a good bike as a daily driver. I'm 6"5 and commute on my bikes 90% of the time. I also have a need for speed and agility to help bob and weave through California traffic.

[@rawonboard7831]

Get a fz09, super duke 1290 z1000 naked bikes and comfortable

[@mbpm6135]

Or spend a measly two grand on a mid 2000's Suzuki SV650 or SV1000 and keep about ten grand in your pocket. Commuters don't need to be awesome.

[@donaldduck9424]

I have exactly the same maschine as LCR long termer with a superbike handlebars for more comfort. And i prefer driving my FZ09. For me it's more fun to drive on normal roads. The gixxer is overpowerd for normal streets, and i'm still not addicted to quickshifter and blipper after a year of ownership. At the end of the day the gixxer was built for the track. On normal roads you suffer , because you never never can rev the engineover 8000. It's simply too fast.

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Well I was thinking of buying your super duke but now you got me thinking I should buy one of these instead ☺️🤣🤣

[@LambChopRides]
