New 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 Announced: Everything You Need To Know!

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

A heavily underrated motorbike. The old GSX-S was dated but had a brilliant engine. Now, it's a total reboot across the board & looks real good. As a naked, it merits serious attention. Serious attention. So good to see Suzuki stepping up.

[@carlosandleon]

I actually like the headlights. It's original. Kinda looks like what I had in mind design wise a few years back

[@simonhudak3763]

21st century Katana

[@thesupercharged_official]

Headlight honestly shouts "The Blue Side Of Japan" 😉

[@biker_marinator5696]

Suzuki really steped up the design. This one I might buy some day.

[@_cpdchua]

i hope they update the 750 as well!!!

[@13apostate]

Likewise. Though, I hope they distinguish it from the 1000 by NOT giving it that same fugly headlight.

[@davidceremonia]

The rework is just top notch. Loved it when I first saw it. Kudos to the narration as well that was solid!

[@91ttens49]

I was starting to think Suzuki didnt care about being left behind. Like you said this is definitely the one of the best innovative designs Suzuki have made

[@juansipag2206]

People have different tastes... Others love this others don't... But for me salute to all engineers and designers of suzuki, their concepts and imaginations never stops.

[@jamescondon3363]

looks awesome !! has that cyber punk look similar to the new MT09.

[@UFGgamings]

Suzuki pulled it off a lot better though!

[@peterrooney8236]

Yes, this Suzuki looks way better. Yamaha kinda ruined the looks.

[@kotomakosako]

Awesome. Bike world needs more original daring, mean looking bikes like this one.

[@motobob]

⬆️⬆️⬆️ This ⬆️⬆️⬆️

[@Coldestaevadoit]

i hope we get an 'f' with the larger tank, updated dash, and front end. "fingers crossed"

[@lemalujnr23]

I agree the bike looks so much appealing especially the blacked out version. I hope Suzuki could upgrade the SV650 electronics at least if no changes are made to styling or engine.

[@UFGgamings]

Low-RPM assist... If you need that on a 1000cc motorcycle you probably shouldn't be riding one ;)

[@pyrolysis2129]

Love the new design. The new headlight arrangement is unexpected and refreshing. Would have liked a new motor and frame to go with it but its Suzuki so any improvement in technology is appreciated. Dont mind the older technology dash if it keeps the price down. I think its a better looking bike than the MT09 by far but still looking for an MT09SP when they finally cross the pond.

[@giovanniricci2869]

Looks really good value for money, just a bit disappointed about the weight. I’m riding a street triple RS 2020 and I can’t stop enjoying how nimbo she is. Thanks for the amazing content you keep proposing 👍

[@AevenSong]

Could've had a similar hexagonal shaped side mirrors like the ones on the old Kawasaki Z300 but all in all I think Suzuki with the new Busa and GSXS they're gonna start getting back with popularity

[@Roihan54]

I like the trapezoid-ish angular tank cover and the headlights

[@Heavywall70]

Suz is going their own path There is so much to this bike that I’m loving. I NEED to see a comparison between this bike and the CB1000 Right now the performance naked market is full of choices. Any rumbling of a new B-KING?

[@Anything_With_An_Engine]

Depending on what Yamaha has up their sleeves with their new R world release coming soon this might be my new top shopping list for my 2nd bike! This Suzuki looks amazing especially in that gray and blue.

[@SomeOneHere247]

I like the current design much better

[@1990-t1j]

Looks a lot better. And with a better low/mid-range, it will be much better than the CB1000R.

[@rockafella1690]

Wonder if they are also gonna revise the F model.

[@alphajed7700]

More likely.

[@mrsilbo6499]

Comprehensive review Bob, with great graphics & info. Hopefully the ride by wire throttle has finally cured the old snatchiness problem. Lovely looking bike too!

[@vaanchitkundlia57]

Looks actually good, definitely would look a lot better in person!

[@peterrooney8236]

A lovely looking Suzuki (finally). Not the grey one obviously but the other two are spot on.

[@FunkMasterJunk]

Wow! Really!? That is the first bike I have seen in a while that I like.

[@357-s6o]

Needs the F model wind protection to complete the looks and function, it is a 100% buy then IMO

[@yarjunsinha7974]

Love the black one

[@Wales256]

Agreed better in grey....just bought this yesterday. Eagerly awaiting my delivery 😁😁😁

[@cpuuk]

More interested in what they do with the F variant.

[@benwells2338]

The headlight overall shape reminds me of the S1000R but on here, it seems to work with the aesthetic. I don’t really care for the “urban camo” trim pieces but I do have to give Suzuki props for trying something completely new here to add a bit more to the design versus just more painted parts.

[@nobody-wk6ej]

Def a much-needed upgrade. Gotta go all black.

[@williamrae9954]

See the computer generated red one on here....respray in order

[@dsgr6164]

Looks better & more aggressive than Yamaha's new MT series of bikes. Hopefully, Suzuki runs with the styling and applies it to their other naked bikes.

[@Rollfreens]

It means also GSX-S750 gonna get new design and updates any time soon. Ah awesome K5 platform 🤤.

[@Heavywall70]

I wish the industry would re-emphasize 750cc platforms. 600’s are just too small for me and liter bikes are good fun but using them on public roads is like trying to hold back the tide with a broom. Sooner or later(sooner) I’m going to take a ripper down the interstate and eventually I know I’ll get clipped.

[@fido0825]

@@Heavywall70 MT09....I am loving my '19 (847cc) & the '21 is even better. I think it's the sweet spot!

[@NudaMan]

@@fido0825 I have to agree with you but the 890 Duke R exists...

[@justinyates5558]

This is what the new katana should be with just a few tweaks. 1. Silver or chrome paint. 2. Add the current windscreen, but keep this crazy headlight set up. Voila!

[@gerardmontgomery280]

Suzuki getting back to cheep thrills, love it.

[@kindajal]

that grom headlight tho lol

[@NudaMan]

I’m not gonna lie... even tho I’m an V-Twin man I would sell both my bikes for this motorcycle! I love everything about it so far, it ticks all the boxes for comfort,Commuting and POWER! I work at a KTM/Aprilia dealer and sure these bikes are cool too but Japan always has my heart deep down👌🏾🇯🇵

[@RitoDaOg]

Letsss gooo I’m so stoked🔥🔥🔥

[@2WCapo]

Looks great, big improvement as the looks are the number one reason this bike has been left off my next bike list.

[@gunturtototrian7002]

Beautiful motorcycle Suzuki GSX-S 1000 ❤️

[@theresonly1truth138]

Better looking than the Katana

[@6569carl]

In todays market 11k is incredible value

[@Heavywall70]

Agree. 15k usd isn’t bad at all for what this bike is.

[@organichotdog3807]

[@alanpassmore2275]

I wish they had gone more stylish on the rear end and rear light it still looks so dated. Nice bug catcher where the front light should be. Show us the faired version Suzuki. 😁😁

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Thanks Bob. The best insight view and opinion I’ve watched on this bike to date. I was extremely disappointed with the updates and looks of this bike. I thought they could’ve done more. However Suzuki being Suzuki, they didn’t. Which in part is a good thing. That old K5 based engine is rock solid! I was lucky enough to be at Phillip Island for the factory WSB pre-season testing when it was first released. It was “unofficially” lapping consistently faster than any of the MotoGP bikes at the time. With Euro5 emissions I knew that it would end up with a slight reduction in peak torque and that subsequently they’d need to raise the RPM limits to achieve the same power. Just simple maths really. I wasn’t a fan of the looks, still aren’t to a degree as to me it looks like someone from Kiska and Katana had a one night stand and this is the end result. Only time will tell and to be able to see it in the flesh will ultimately hopefully tell a different story... 👍😎🇦🇺

[@bryanbrown9916]

Thanks Motobob!!! Your videos are always fantastic. Have you ridden one of these yet??

[@davidfleischer2859]

Is there an f model on the way with some wind protection?

[@Truth_Spoken]

I guess designing a good looking headlight is a thing of the past. Did they pay the guy who designed the MT-09 to do this bike as well? Geez.

[@alphajed7700]

Maybe they got an idea from other competitors as they're doing the same as Suzuki designer.

[@aapddd]

Exactly, I don't like it at all.

[@ronin4ortyse7en]

Japanese are known for designing bikes with polarizing looks. I would say KTM comes a close second.

[@_audacerider3838]

As long as you are not a track day junkie this is all the bike you need to have fun on the road and some. And the proce is still what one call approachable for a new motorcye with 1000cc.

[@KondorMoto]

I prefer the Katana. Too much transformer vibes coming out of this one. Top notch video as always ✌️

[@snjtptl5221]

My pray Suzuki done same thing on gsx s750

[@locky1227]

Looks great !

[@nuclearfishin1185]

A trip to the exhaust and ECU re flash people should bring some interesting results??

[@trkmaran6480]

If suzuki made a Super Duke, it will look like this..

[@paulconnell1309]

Very cool. Definitely want a test ride.

[@JDeezle21]

I love it. I want it. I will get it eventually. My mind is made up.

[@mrtobiasreiper4714]

It looks much better than SuperDuke in the Blue paint.

[@dtbrown1978]

With new emissions standards I bet a lot hp left on the table with ecu tuning and freeing up the air and exhaust flow. The last model tuned do 156 whp with a tune and full exhaust so can see 160whp from the 2022 tuned with bolt ons. Very excited and hopefully be under 13k USD.

[@lynsmith1096]

I like the looks.

[@adityarai5367]

I actually like this GSXS1000

[@jimbo1485]

God euro5 is killing everything

[@1MrBryn]

I really like this and am looking forward to rising it. I'm sure any complaints will be countered by the low price tag.

[@toofastnobrakes]

Man I hope they update the 750 as well

[@HS99876]

I wish they give you option on how high the handlebar goes, this handlebar looks low resulting in leaning forward and putting pressure on handlebar.

[@vishalbrahmbhatt9056]

Loved this ...❤️🔥

[@slyrez]

This is fucking cool Hoping for a 750 version of this

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Honestly, since it's not fully ride-by-wire, would it have been that much trouble to install a cruise control? 1's and 0's and a switch on the handlebar? Pretty awesome bike overall. Maybe all my screaming and whining about fuel capacity finally reached someone in Japan. The bigger tank is a big plus in my book. Yamaha are you listening?! Wondering if Suzuki have changed gear ratios in the transmission. They were ridiculous before, with one of the tallest 1st gears on any motorcycle, and a 6th gear that was too short. Gears 2 through 5 all jammed close together.

[@andycrawley8276]

The only problem with the new Katana was and is is the small tank capacity.

[@andycrawley8276]

I actually like it..great review..thanks

[@motobob]

Cheers Andy!

[@srtspeedy4983]

You forgot to mention bigger tank. I think the range has increased not the other way around.

[@williamrae9954]

He said it drinks more...so

[@srtspeedy4983]

@@williamrae9954 yeah but not more than the increased petrol tank. 17l to 19l. Almost 18% bigger kapacity. You have not 18% more fuelconsumtion. Well under 10% more fuelconsumtion wich means longer range.

[@nithinjacob7455]

The headlight’s like the second gen Grom.

[@wescam]

Have you seen the rumor on the 2022(or 23) GSX S1000T? Suzuki does not get the same agressive rumor chasing as some of the others, but word has it the GSX S1000F will get a rework with this model change as a T (touring) model. The new 1000S is a 2022 in the US, so I suspect a faring version would get here in 23 while Europe may get it early next year.

[@chriss6971]

Looks great

[@muleavenger9772]

Wow that is a nice motorcycle!!

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

I remember stacked rectangular lights on the 70s choppers. Uncle Bunt anyone?

[@MRTPR]

I think they have done well.

[@fyorbane]

Looks a bit KTM- ish with those sharp angles. I don't like the headlights or that front indicator setup at all. Great value bike though but I much prefer the look of the 2021 Honda CB1000R. I wonder if you and Rarefied could test this against the new CB1000R. It would make for an interesting video.

[@linchgui4972]

meh, another letdown from Suzuki, same modified K5 motor, old frame, old suspension&brake setup, old wheels. They just can't do a streetfighter version of their gsxr1000, I like the looks tho

[@garyk8285]

Its nice. Never liked the KTM style bikes, but I don't mind this one.

[@jamiefrancis2351]

So weight is up. Torque is down. And fuel consumption is worse. It looks better. But that’s not enough for me.

[@CkMyr]

LOVE IT😍🤩

[@gkbike7002]

Looks awesome. But gsxs pages on Facebook are saying ugly. But social media also knocked the new busa and thats selling in spades. Goes to show there's a lot of opinionated people on social media that follow the herd. I've got the 2021 750 and I love it, its better looking than the 2020 1000. But its new big sister is seriously hot.

ouch.. i did that back in 06 with a monster s2r then found out a month later the s2r was getting a bump from 800-1000 cc.. still loved that bike and at the end of the day bigger isnt always better. I was just in the mtns on my s1000 and it was a bit too powerful. I was wishing for less displacement. Hopefully this adds a bit of perspective.

Yea it’s honestly a really awesome bike. After a couple weeks with it though I still feel like I want more power tbh. I have a Suzuki dr-650, Suzuki gsxs-750 and now I think I want a 1000cc to finish the collection.
