[@MrJonnyh1972]

Home of Lego, Mærsk, Velux windows, Tuborg, Lurpak and bacon to name a few more things !!! Great videos btw !

[@djefferson02]

Mister Chops is quite literally the nicest person in the entire United Kingdom. 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Haha very kind of you to say 😅

[@KelvinChilvers]

Really enjoyed the final episode. My misses has her mod 2 this morning, so takes my mind off it. Good video, always great standard of pictures and sound.

[@LambChopRides]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@k3y155]

Big fan of Suzuki. Been riding their GSX-S 750 for almost 5 years now. Glad they’ve made a bike you’d take over a BMW! Much love from Texas! 👍

[@SteveSteeleSoundSymphony]

The GSX-S750 is such a nice bike. I was interested in a new 2022 about a year ago, but it sold before I could get to it. Too bad they’ve been canceled.

[@kezzert21]

Really enjoying this series, Chops. Loving it! Would love to do it. Enjoyed a brief trip to Copenhagen a couple of years ago! Thanks fella

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it was great, certainly nice to see that part of the world. Thanks buddy 👍

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Nice one Chopsy. Thank you. This is one of the bikes on my purchase list for 2025. Great to hear that the quick shifter works going down the box under load. A huge positive that Suzuki missed the opportunity to mention this as it makes a huge difference! 👍👍

[@davidlutton4560]

Great tour. Fabulous roads. Super company and lovely weather. Very different from your other biking videos, but equally the same quality imagery and editing. Thanks for sharing.

[@expatbiker6598]

Your enthusiasm is infectious Mr Chops. As always thank you for my Saturday info-tainment

[@LambChopRides]

My pleasure sir 🙏

[@saintsteve]

Great mini series. Thanks for sharing! I’ve just bought myself one of these on a crazy cheap end of season deal from my local dealer. Pick it up in a couple of weeks, can’t wait!

[@LambChopRides]

Nice one Steve! I'm loving my one, hopefully buying it from Suzuki 👏

[@saintsteve]

@@LambChopRidesI’ll be binge watching your content on this bike! Like you, will be changing the tyres once the bike is run in.

[@BernardVisagie]

The Puig touring windscreen I installed on mine works really great, much better wind protection than stock.

[@marissakphotography6604]

This is literally my dream trip. I’d love to ship my bike over from across the pond and do the same thing.

[@hozder]

Very nice video series. Watched 3 of them and enjoyed them a lot as a GX owner. Thank you! Greetings from Türkiye!👏

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks glad you like them, more GX content coming 👍

[@alanshearing7515]

Awesome trip 👍. Probably the only way to make friends with the bike , very few niggles . All round a nice bike . I will be interested in the difference after the performance parts are fitted . Great work Chops .

[@_Archambaud]

Great Saturday morning entertainment👍

[@headrace4863]

As a “do everything for a long time and not give you any sh*t” real world ‘bike, hard to fault. Being the engine it is, it’ll do a gazillion miles with just by-the-book servicing. Secret weopon of the tall-rounders. Get one of these and spend the £5k you’ve saved over a premium price tag, spend the £5k enjoying the hell out of it and not worry. Hardly stockings and suspenders, agreed, but none the less very good. Really enjoying the series. Great work. 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Yes exactly!! I've been given the green light to get the exhaust swapped and mapped. I'm very interested to see what it's like fully uncorked! Going to be a missle I think, that's where you can spend the savings 😎

[@MotoVloggedOUT]

Really enjoying this travelling series

[@GC-xy2ec]

The point you make about the seat is interesting. I own a Tracer 9Gt and Yamaha have done a pretty good job ergonomically with the Tracer seat

[@oliverslamar5516]

Yes, if you are dwarf, there should not be built bike under 860mm seat height

Really enjoyed the series Chopsie those Nachos looked amazing I'm feeling hungry now! 🤣

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks buddy and yes they were! 😋

[@dingbat2076]

Great series of vids. Be good to see a bike off with the Suzuki up against the Tracer 9 GT and maybe the Africa Twin Adventure Sport?

[@mikkokarkkainen1924]

You should put something like your riding jacket between the straps and the seat. Probably no permanent damage or deformation etc. possible to the seat but just something I do on ferries. Though my ferry rides are closer to half a day e.g. from Finland to Sweden, so much longer than yours.

[@edgybikercop]

Always good videos. Cheers

[@drsous6400]

Great tour, great vids, great bike, great chopsy, just great mate thanks from New Zealand :)

[@LambChopRides]

Thank you kindly sir 🙏

[@colinshurey976]

Great video Chops I was keen but my attention has been drawn to the new Triumph Tiger 800 Sport

[@JEmmertz]

Lovely to see you touch ground in Sweden and Malmö (where I work), and since you didn't include much footage of Köpenhamn (Copenhagen) I imagine that went well also. The bike seems extremely capable for these kinds of tours - just as it should. 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Yes unfortunately battery ran out on the way to hotel so missed that.. But had a good meal out in the city centre that evening. Your neck of the woods then J?

[@JEmmertz]

@@LambChopRides Yeah, former primary customer was right next to the bronze mermaid in Copenhagen, and current office is in Malmö (though I work primarily from home). That's the beauty of the IT industry - you can work from home and still wreck havoc in the entire world or fix the occurring havocs. I'm mostly into the latter. Home is a place situated some 60 minutes north of Malmö.

[@brucekendall52]

Thanks.

A full Irish and a lamb chop video to start the day, oh don't mind if I do 😂

[@nickenyfiken9913]

Really nice trip 😎 You should have continued in Sweden along the south East coast to the ”Österlen” region. One of the best parts in Sweden. But you can do it next time…. 😉👍 Cheers and thank you for a good series of film.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it was really tempting just to keep on going! 😁👍

[@Potatoman7]

Nice vid Chops

[@AldredsquashUk]

The problem buying a new bike these days is if your local dealer is going to be around for servicing and potential warranty work, I have just had an email from my local dealer telling me they are no longer going to be a Suzuki dealer, and they have been with Suzuki for seventeen years!! I think riding a motorcycle these days is becoming too expensive for most people hence the decline in dealers.

[@daystate123]

A worrying trend

[@borissh9932]

You rarely service modern Japanese motorcycles, come on.

[@shadowred1980]

Looking on the Suzuki site, the plus version your on here. Is on offer for £14,799. Free side cases and 0% for 3 years if people are interested. Enjoyed the series, plus looking forward to you getting your mitts on the upcoming bikes. :)

[@LambChopRides]

I think online there are even better deals too!

[@kingsqueak2221]

All I've ever wanted to see was Copenhagen on a bike at night LOL :-).

[@michaelgaull5517]

Hi Chopsy, those country views are so so good. We're so jealous here in Western Australia! I know we have nice views too. Anyhoo, like a previous person asked, I wonder how the GX compares against the new Kawasaki Versys 1100 and Yamaha Tracer. Also the BMW XR, we know has the extra power, but I'm assuming that's only an advantage in the upper rev range, and the Versys with it's extra cc may have the best torque delivery at low to mid rpm's. Obviously there's also the whole package of the bikes to compare as well. So maybe it'd be a close call between the Kawasaki & Suzuki? Cheers Mr Chops. I always look forward to seeing your bike reviews. 👍😃🏍🏍

[@ragerider6283]

Another entertaining episode Chops. I like the GX but it's odd to me Suzuki GB haven't put some decent tyres on if they're essentially relaunching it & the rubber was the weak point on the original launch. On a side note, what is Denmark famous for? Vikings, Lego, bacon & Hans Christian Anderson. ; )

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I remembered bacon in the end haha 😄 👍

[@JEmmertz]

... and smörrebröd and beer.

[@KiwiMoto72]

Gidday from Seattle Mate. Tell me about those fancy wind yo gloves you have going on there please.

[@LambChopRides]

[@nickrider5220]

Denmark, home of Hans Christian Andersen, I thought you were going to get there when you said 'the mermaid ' ! A good series Mr Chops 👍🏻

[@LambChopRides]

Haha yes.. I got close 😄👍

[@fantastic_voyage]

Hi Chopsy...a good comparison would be the new versys 1100 against the suzuki....❤

[@LambChopRides]

Yes indeed, they are quite differently positioned though imo. Versys has much less focus on Sports and more on comfort and touring 👍

[@senghoelee8514]

Thanks for the video chopsy! Could you please share the route in this video? It’s rather difficuly finding a nice route like that in this part of Denmark!

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah the only route I have is the Google maps view unfortunately. I might just about be enough I hope 👍

My backside would of been in bits 😂the time you'd been riding, Enjoyable video 😊

[@R-Tap]

Denmark is very, eh, tidy. Lovin' the Suzuki content. Never really on my radar, well promoted. Have you ridden a GSXS 1000?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely I have, great bike! Brakes seem better on the GX, no idea why.. Same setup as I understand it

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

Can I ask you Chops what can I spray if at all anything to keep water and corrosion out of the handle bar buttons on my KTM SD R track bike ......project TurboLarder.....!!!!. Cheers.👍👍

[@gwales10]

Noticed your not using myspin nice roads

[@LambChopRides]

No as wasn't doing the navigation, it's not as good as Google maps anyway

[@SSS-mp8th]

This new “crossover” style of bike like the XR and Tracer 9 is the style of bike I’m looking for as a winter bike. Everything else I have has no wind protection or real luggage capacity. You need that when temps change 30 degrees from the ride into work and the ride home. The Suzuki is a bit speedy in the U.S. and they are giving discounts in trying to move them. Chops if you had to choose would you take the Suzuki or a couple year old K1600?

[@78Outlaw]

Got to say one of the best looking sport tourers out there John, what about GX vs Tracer9GT+ ?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely that's coming to 👍

[@Englishbikerdan]

Such a shame they put jelly babies for tyres on it. As you said, it hurts the bike and Dunlop's rep. Looks like you had fun though Chops!

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah that's it Dan, real shame on a premium bike. It's sort of understandable on the middleweight budget bikes. Shame you couldn't make it as it was a brilliant trip 👍

[@rench55]

Looks like a really excellent trip! One question... I know you didn't do a lot of riding at night, but how well does that tiny headlight work after dark? Thanks!

[@LambChopRides]

There are better headlights but it's certainly good enough 👍

[@stephenclarke6114]

Always adjusting my screen B roads nice and low motorway high etc would annoy me if i had to pick just one hight

[@stevetaylor9265]

Wondering what the insurance on one would cost 🤔 my insurance company doesn't like my kawasaki Z900, it costs twice as much as my harley-davidson Electra glide. If this is cheaper looks like a good swap.

[@yakekaj]

I'm set on a guzzi v100 mandello or a stelvio... I'm not a super fast racer... does this Suzi offer enough to mitigate for having a chain and surpass the Guzzis??

[@tomkristiannerb7435]

Having tried the Trailmax Mission tyres, the equivalent of driving on plastic, I have lost all faith in Dunlop. There are better alternatives IMHO.

[@bikersquest]

You reckon doing 100+ with a top box as well would've been too sketchy?

[@LambChopRides]

Hmm I wouldn't be overly comfortable doing that... would probably be fine though

[@MV-XD2]

BMW bikes are generally that 10-20% more than the competition, it’s badge tax. The GX looks like a great bike, nicer in grey where those ugly horizontal silver rad covers are less obvious. Plush suspension will differentiate it as the XR suspension is either rock hard or wallowy. The XR is stupidly expensive, even this bike seems a bit over priced for what it offers but then all large and even medium capacity bikes are going that way. I wonder how many of us are thinking of dropping £15K on any bike right now?

[@kwak1k]

Does this model have the hot start rattle?

[@glenncaukill1320]

How do you like your pro bike lift after using it ? I’m thinking of getting one , or should I go cheaper?

[@LambChopRides]

Absolutely love it, I'm sure a cheaper lift will still be great but wouldn't be without mine 👍

[@joelschram14]

[@BernardVisagie]

Chops how do you find the "premium seat"? I am wondering if it's worth the upgrade. Btw I upgraded my tires to Michelin Road 6's before I had my bike delivered purely due to the reviewers bitching so much about the stock tires. I am very happy with my bike.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I'm not sure.. Looks better but not sure it's any more comfortable.. wouldn't be on the top of my shopping list

[@BernardVisagie]

​@@LambChopRides thanks for the opinion!

[@valebliz]

@@BernardVisagieI disagree with chopsie here. I had my bike delivered with the standard seat for the first couple of weeks because the comfort one (part of a package in my country) was back ordered. I find the comfort ones quite better, more supportive and the pillion one has a different profile so the pillion doesn’t slide on your back under braking.

When I saw the bike I was personally not impressed, not for my requirements.. And I am a Suzuki fan boy... For me it's lacking on the tourer aspect. No centre stand Suzuki do not recommend a top box. Poor size pillion seat, and most pillions like the security of a top box.. No adjustable screen.

[@Chambers36TheEnter]

The no center stand as standard is criminal.
