Is The Suzuki GSXR The Best ROAD Sports Bike Ever? | Why Greg Bought One

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is a fantastic motorcycle one of only two litre sports bikes designed with road users in mind. Greg bought one earlier this year and in this video we discuss why it was a better purchase for him than a super naked.

Best thing I’ve found with gsxr’s is that they are so easy to ride fast but they aren’t as boring as a blade

[@-DC-]

Had 5 GSXR''s over 20 years absolutely superb Motorcycles never had a issue with any of them in all that time 👊

[@monkmoto1887]

Best to hold onto this one! One of the last gsxr1000s and probably also the end of the era of full fledged race bikes for the road. RIP GSXR1000, even without Suzukis support you’ve still been winning races world wide from moto america to motoGP. I might be a Kawasaki guy at heart but I stand and salute one of the greatest bikes ever to grace the roads

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Big shame that the ZX10R falls on its face racing typically. Not sure why, rode one we have at work and it's "pretty good". The GSXR still had more to offer down low power wise, with a telepathic chassis, but the ZX10R looks damn good in its KRT livery. Comfort isn't as good either but it's a great bike. At the end of the day the GSXR kind of fills in the 1 bike for all tasks (aside from offroading). Sad to see them stall production, for now.

[@monkmoto1887]

@@jordanjoestar8839 yeah I agree, the variable valve timing on the Suzuki makes all the difference for sure, the zx10r is great to race with wide open but definitely not the back road bike the gsxr is. I’d ride either on the daily although I concede unless I was building a track or drag bike the gsxr is the obvious choice.

[@MatNewtonTrio]

GSXR is still a superb machine, reliable and reasonably comfortable considering the performance on tap. It’s a relative bargain when you consider the prices of a V4s/rr. I’m seriously considering getting a used k7/8 as a summer machine after your purchase. Suzuki really know how to make a beautiful engine and gearbox! Very sad to hear that production is going to stop. 😢

[@skatman3872]

I own an aprilia rf and a bmws1000rr all great bikes ,my k6 is my daily, lots of miles on it,still relevant love it,going to get it flashed soon pc5 went bad

[@AlienSexGod]

@@skatman3872 "pc5 went bad" you mean the motherboard on the computer? So you are replacing it with a flashed computer?

[@Kurlach]

I’ve had two gixxers, including the latest R, I’ve also had the S1000RR M Sport. Both amazing bikes but I can genuinely say the gixxer put more of a smile on my face. It does everything brilliantly, bags of character, and on the road is as fast as anything else. Enjoy it Greg, looks and sounds great

[@Porschemovies]

Also had 2020 gsxr 1000 lost it getting rear-ended at a stop light, and now have 22 S1000rr, honestly, it's not worth the price difference, and the riding position is almost identical. Yes BMW has more engine better brakes and better electronics but it's only 10% better for 33% higher cost. Also the GSXR with full tank was 1lb lighter than my bmw with full tank same supporting modes like full SS exhausts. It's true underrated machine and doesn't do well at track shoot outs because they always run the R over the base model and the r suspension is good for a 160lb rider max with soft springs where the base will hold up a 260lb person before maxing out the spring weight.

[@juicer404]

@@Porschemovieswhy did they spring the r so light ?

[@Porschemovies]

@@juicer404 I assume because test riders are lighter than us normal people. I wish Showa would have changeable springs and valving like Ohins direct from the factory but they don't

Good to see you both back! The GSXRs (All models) are still stonking bikes, and you're NOT mad about buying it!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Iain 👍

[@andrewrose9707]

Still rocking my K5 Gixxa thou. Had it for 17 years and she is a beautiful bike. Goes like the clappers and surprisingly comfortable on long rides. I used to change bikes around every three years, but this gixxa just became a keeper as I never found anything I liked better - even the modern ones. Still do track days on it, but find myself getting a bit conservative now... Even the ride day officials say to take it easy as it is now a rare piece of machinery

[@mikh9202]

The Japanese bikes are superb quality. If you have pulled apart a lot of bikes, you see the Japanese bike parts are really well made, the machine finishing is perfect, and the engineering is sensible.

[@glecrenn]

I have 2 GSXR 1000s, K3 and K5. Both are excellent motorcycles. Fun to ride, great performance, reliable, low maintenance, easy to work on, and inexpensive to insure. A+ on the fun factor!

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Best do-it-all superbike for the common man. Greg chose wisely. 👍 ❤❤

[@niged]

Such a shame Suzuki have pulled out of racing. Great bullet proof engines. Both of you hang on to your GSXR's. They are appreciating classics in the making.

[@BiglumpADV]

I'm with Greg, I think Suzuki do make some brilliant all round sports bikes. I've owned two GSXR 1000K3's and as a 6ft 4 lump they're a comfy machine to ride. And damn good fun!

[@QuasiMotoUSA]

Couldn’t agree more…they’ve had so long to refine and dial them in they are near perfect. ‘13 GSXR750 for the track, 2014 1000 for road use…stupidly sold both but am always looking for another!

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Fun fact, the K6 GSXR1000 still to this day holds the record for the fastest 0-60 of any OEM production bike. It's been since 2006 and nobody has yet to top it. Still winning Stock 1000 races against bikes double its price, and slapping everyone across the face in MotoGP this season. Not to mention the comfort and low down torque, they are incredible bikes. My friend races his 2001 GSXR600 on circuit and its had 30,000 track only miles issue free. He has gopro footage passing modern liter bikes like the ZX10R, S1000RR and more.

[@skatman3872]

I own a k6 1000 bought new I believe it,mine is still fast ,have lots of mods on it it was ahead of its time,the bmws1000rr copied alot of that bike

Good to hear 😁👍

[@jonasrueda4195]

Excellent video you put together. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@2Wheel4Fun]

Suzuki is definitely making a come back in the motorcycle arena, not that it ever dropped off but the V-Strom and the new GSXR's are getting a lot of props from the street.

[@DylanGSXR]

I wish this was true unfortunately we won't be seeing anymore gsxr in UK anymore due to Euro 5 they have stopped making them . They have pulled out of Moto GP and not in wsbk. It's a very sad time for Suzuki. I'm a massive fan and have 3 one an old RF 900 which is a fantastic bike too.

[@2Wheel4Fun]

[@daveo9844]

Love that Gixxer colour scheme 🔥

[@ragerider6283]

Great vid, really enjoyed this & good to see Greg back. Also totally agree about the GSXR & everything that was said. Looks like there's definitely not going to be one in their European range next year but wouldn't be surprised to see them pull a Hayabusa move & bring it back after a year off. Speaking of which, if they do make a new one, it'll no doubt have the GSXS GT TFT & Hayabusa electronics. Also rumours of a patented Suzuki shift cam engine in the works as well. Also hoping they'll bring the GSXR750 back too as the market seems to be heading that way with the likes of the R9 coming out soonish so the time might be right. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath for any new GSXRs tbh.

[@lynsmith1096]

I have had 4 GSX-R 750's and loved them. Gad a few other bikes but always went back to the GSX-R 750.

[@cmbiker]

I'm on my 4th GSX-R750 now, a 2023 model I just picked up. I also have a 2022 GSX-S1000 which is a brilliant bike as well.

What a beautiful day for a ride. While the exhaust sounds are the perfect music for the trip.

That is a beautiful GSXR!!! Never owned a K series, raced a GSXR 1100H a million years ago! with slicks on,it handled like a 3 leged ballet dancer! nice vid 😊

[@deanharris9331]

The GXSR's have always been iconic machines and deep down I've always been a Suzuki fan, which I think started with my schoolboy scrambling day's on the early RM motocrossers. I find the GSXR's are an ideal road going sportsbike and have been tried and tested time after time so I know where you and Greg are coming from as regards to reliability and bullet proof engine's. It's a damn shame that Suzuki are taking this machine off the European market. Great video again Chops. Thanks for the time and effort you put into reviews. Awesome. 😊👍

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Dean 👍

[@cmbiker]

On my 4th GSX-R750 now, a brand new 2023 model. Many years ago, I had a 2002 GSX-R1000 which was a beast, but still comfortable compared to the contenders at the time. There is something magical about the GSXR engine and induction sound. The gearbox is also silky smooth. Oh, and I have a 2022 GSX-S1000 which is my go to daily commuter.

[@daveyboy6985]

Do you prefer the 750 gsxr power wise compared to the 1000 gsxr?

[@cmbiker]

@@daveyboy6985 Definitely prefer the 750 because the powerband is much more usable on the street. I don't mind not having the ABS and TC because I learned to ride back in the 80's before that technology was available.

Great SMC-R news! Would also like to see some more work done to your GSX-R, and give it a proper ecu-map and dyno run!

[@IN_ZANE_]

GSXR1000 still being sold in Australia & USA next year, the new 2023 models look to have exciting new bold colour options, but that’s it unfortunately. There’s a rework of the white and blue from a few years ago and black with yellow highlights. I get the feeling it might just go the way of the GSXR600/750 with next to no changes for the next few years until it eventually just drops off. Sad times indeed.

It’s nice to hear a mature and sensible bike opinion. I had 750 k7 and it was a great bike but I’ve always missed my past triple engine. Out of these 3 I would take the Daytona in yellow for the looks and the sound. I would be too terrified to ride the h2 which is the most amazing bike here.

I updated my 2015 S1000RR to a new RR this year. I well considered a GSX-R but cruise control and heated grips are just too difficult to give up, plus the Suzuki casio dash. The old GSX-R riders have migrated to BMW en masse here in Aus because the bikes just haven't been updated.

@@jaffabaffaNow that Suzuki has pulled out of racing they could actually make the perfect street sports bike, a proper replacement for the 750, something with ~150rwhp. Unfortunately the parallel twin R7 type sadness seems more probable.

@@IN_ZANE_ , I can only agree with you… The inline 4 is slowly dying, because of a lack of popularity and too expansive to pass Euro 5 certification. They did it for the 950/1000 GSXS (47.5ch to 150ch ! with same block !) , but I think it will be the last inline 4 they produce (in Europe). Twin are way more popular now (wheely machine) , so they invest in what they think will represent more sales.

Thanks Tenfx 👍

Great to see the Suzuki gsxr , my last sportbike was the old gsxr 1100 K , since then it's all been naked bikes🙁🙁 got admit still a soft spot for the gixxers.!!! And at least the breakfast cheered you up chops after the fall 🙁 👍👍👍

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it did 😁👍

I had K3, K5 and I still have 2018 gsxr1000r. My favorite was the K5. The GSXR1000R is good, comfy, but very jerky on the throttle in A mode on the road, around 4000rpm. I prefer sportsbike in the city traffic, actually, they are way narrower. I prefer the look of GSXR, too, but S1000RR is also comfortable and it is not jerky at all. QS is absolutely amazing on the GSXR! I miss heated grips on GSXR, cruise control would be nice to have but heated grips are a necessity!

Get it mapped, sorted low down throttle

Nice vid again, but everyone knows my bikes the best. Factamundo. 👊

[@stekwack]

Such a shame there will be no new GSXR1000, it's a great bike and arguably the best road bike of the superbikes. I have a 2017 R model and it does everything I need it to. The anti wheelie struggles to keep the front down in first but once moving down the back roads you can forget its even got electronics fitted, I can still ride it how I want with wheelies and jumps over crests, (on track obviously) without interference. Did my first ever track day on it at oulton park in April this year after 26 years of riding sports bike, and it was amazing, only did 2 sessions as I had S22's fitted which were looking terrible after the 2nd session so thought I would be best to stop. Kept the tyres on for the rest of the year without issue apart from the 2 weeks of the TT where they really took a hammering and looked nearly as bad as after the trackday. Rs11's now fitted so have a few track days planned for next year. Hopefully Suzuki will bring back the gsxr better than ever in a year or 2. 2017 GSXR1000R on a mission into windy corner @ Iom TT22 both angles. / stekwack kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKTTZICPe8aAmLs

The GSXR being seen as a sensible bike now is quite funny really. Remember in the old days where they had a reputation for hooligan riders, burn out, wheelie merchants and every other bike in a ditch was a Suzi soon to be reborn as a street fighter. 😂🤘 Great bikes. Good days! ❤

[@ferrumignis]

There's a good reason the GSXRs were massively popular...

[@flippy66]

6:00 - if cruise control is a "must" for you then you need a sports tourer. A sportsbike like the GSXR does not "need" cruise control unless you're using it to tour on, in which case you can't really fault the designers for not including cruise.

[@davidday8692]

The real reason for the Suzuki is reliability.

[@hisaanhaq4116]

Question for you both, have you noticed on the gix that you can feel a click in clutch lever when shifting gears? When pulling in clutch lever i can feel some feedback in the lever only when i change gear up and down like i can feel gears selecting click in clutch lever. Thanks

[@checker3694]

Greg is correct nakeds beat you up over long high speed distances, Sub 70mph they are fine. You both need to do reviews again, was a great feature of your Channel.

[@LambChopRides]

We have an overnight test coming with the Goldwing and K1600! Should be good

[@tys938]

Yes

[@yonniboy1]

IMO the GSX-R1000R is what the Fireblade always was until the torture implement known as the CBR1000RR-R, the GSX-R is flexible, comfortable (for a sports bike) and flatters your ability the way the older 'Blades did.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes do agree there 👍

[@TheHowardski]

Great Video LC! Out of interest could you tell me what you use to record your audio while your out on your rides? Cheers.

[@LambChopRides]

Gopro with external mic buddy 👍

[@TheHowardski]

@@LambChopRides Many thanks matey.

[@cavscout62]

I still prefer the GSXR 750 for everything from a daily rider/commuter. Raised bars and slightly dropped pegs along with a pipe and freed up air box. With these mods and a set of saddlebags the 750 is super as an all around Bike with a super smooth engine, the legendary butter smooth gearbox and top speed capability’s of almost 180mph. Light, smooth, fast, nimble. What more does one need?

[@gregtufnall6276]

Sounds epic and I wouldn’t disagree. The 750 is a fantastic bike 👍

[@10secondsrule]

Amazing U.K. scenery. I very much miss it! Not the roads though😂

[@jonpadgett573]

Whats your option on straight bars on the gsxr? Or are the clip ons comfortable enough for a mid fourty 6'3". Usually only out 2-3hrs twice a week on twisties
