Interesting vid. It's nothing special but it's a great do a bit of everything all round package for a decent price. With regard to the Mpg or Km/L display "issue" you mentiomed, you can change it in the menus. You have the option of Imperial, US gallons or Km/L. Someone's obviously been messing about in the menus lol. With regard to the tail tidy, there are lots of attractive intergrated options but not so cheap.

From Canada but living in Mexico. I've always had a thing for sport and sport-touring bikes where you can see the engine. In Mexico we have the GSX-8S but not the GSX-8R. I think yours looks better. In the 40 years I've been riding, Suzukis and Kawasakis have always treated me well.

Great vid, just had an issue there with the wind noise when you're riding, sometimes I couldn't hear you at all, you have to adress that problem somehow, but thanks for all the feedback, looks like a great bike to own!

I took the 8S and 8R for a test ride. Both lovely bikes but my old back couldn't cope with the 8R. Ended up getting the Vstrom 800RE, which has the same engine.

@@ProphetAndLoss oh how did they compare to each other? I collected the 8s today so I’m excited to see how it is compared to the 8r! How do you find the vstrom? it’s on the list to do!

What an amazing motorcycle! All the features you could ask for and easy to use. What is the top speed if you were to guess? What other motorcycles are in that price range that are fully faired? Great review! 👏

@@grandprixjames it really was a cracking bike, I was sad to take it back. I’ve got a video coming soon where I do some top speed runs on a private run way, I got 138, I’m really small so can tuck and lightweight 😂 my other half got 134. I’d say you could get more In the right conditions, but Suzuki claim a top speed of 134mph. Not many others available at that price etc I think the closest would be the r7
Nice review, quite a bit of wind noise but still able to hear you most of the time lol

Good job, interesting to hear your thoughts but IMO at least 10 mins too long. People have short attention spans these days lol. The bike looks best in that Silver with red wheels.
