NEW Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT | The Best Value GT Machine!!

[@FrankBonessa]

The more I watch this man, the more I want to watch this man. He reviewed a bike that will be in my garage tuesday. A red '24 gt plus. Looking forward to some long trips in the states. Wanted one of these for a while.

[@1000RedDog0001]

Same, I've just taken delivery of my '24 red GT+ ... fantastic bike for many reasons.

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

I like this format of going on a trip more than a pure road test. It’s more real world. Nice one Chopsy, thanks 👍

Chopsy makes me smile again! 45 yrs ago (whew!) I spent 3 mos in England in a college program from Ball State Univ in Muncie, Indiana, USA. My girl (and now wife) rented a Mini (the British Leyland version!) and had a ball on some of the same roads I watched you ride in this video. At 21 yrs old I was just old enough at the time to rent a car and I missed having my bike at the time, a '73 Honda 450 Scrambler, there to ride on those roads. We also drove all over Wales and had a ball! Beautiful scenery, great roads and a fantastic visit it was!

[@LambChopRides]

Sounds amazing 👏 👍👍

[@donaldsoncole3095]

I went HARLEY shopping today but didn’t buy a bike $$$. I watched this review and I am on a new quest ! Suzuki isn’t a Harley but it is better in so many ways ! I will let you know when I have the SUZUKI in the barn ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Suzuki just know how to make a beautifully smooth motor and gearbox. I must admit, I wasn’t immediately excited when I clocked it at the bike show, as it all looked rather plastic. I do love the screen, map integration and cruise control.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Just sorry for the center stand. :) Otherwise a rocket bike. Can check my content man. You may enjoy it.

[@stewiemac4017]

Also a decent service interval, for higher mileage riders. Is Kawasaki still 4k miles? 🤢 But less mpg than my Superduke ain't so great, particularly now

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@stewiemac4017 In my country it is 12.000km for Kawa. :) Can check my content. Have fun bro.

[@josevi5835]

Suzuki is always fantastic value price. This bike must be a real blast. I own a SV 650 and is simply a delightful bike. Nobody knows that all Suzuki's are made in Japan... and it makes a big difference.

[@WiiKung]

My GSX250R was made in china, still very good though.

[@deanharris9331]

I got to say it Chops that you nail these bike reviews every time.....Honest opinions , great cinematic footage and soundtracks...all very proffesional. Awesome going mate 👍🙂

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Dean 👍👍

[@RandysRides]

That is one SWEET bike. Suzuki has always made such "rider" bikes. They know what we want. :)

[@husnupy7469]

A real big thank from thousands of miles away, I have found every answers to the questions on my mind and felt very lucky to find this bike review. Thank you from 2023!

[@LambChopRides]

Glad to help! 👍

[@garybrown4854]

I've seen other reviews of this bike , launch ones I think , and all those reviewers praised it . Suzuki have hit the sweet spot I think with this one it seems . GT or Sports tourers are the best all-round bike IMHO , if you can only afford 1 bike or only got space at home for just 1 then this is the way to go . And those little neg niggles would be because A) your size and B) you weren't 100% used to the bike , stuff you would adapt the bike for or just get used to over time with use . Make a good cop bike or other emergency services . Good real world review Chopsy nice one .

[@akmt9114]

Cheers from Alaska chops, spot on review as always. I have 2000 miles on my GT so far, great bike along with its stablemate MT-10. They complement each other perfectly for the type of ride I want. MT if I want to get rowdy and the GT if I want mellower but can still do the business in the twists. Running a S22r Bridge in a 55 rear profile. Helps turn in and gears it up a bit. SBS RST compound front brake pads will be on it asap which are supposed to be night and day from stockers. Made a huge difference on my MT.

[@scottyuk]

Built to a budget but superb value. Comparing its brakes, IMU etc to much more expensive bikes is perhaps harsh but absolutely right to point out where costs have been saved. 👍

[@anxiousappliance]

I have the gixxus750 and the nissin brakes are the best I've ever used. Must be a pad thing - maybe the MC.

[@debenhamdave4314]

I have been banging on for years to anyone daft enough to listen, the virtues of GTs over adventure bikes, I have owned the Kawasaki Z1000sx and currently the Ducati Supersport with panniers, so not surprisingly love the look of the Suzuki. Cheers Choppsy.

[@LambChopRides]

It's so true!! 👍

[@146matt]

I see what you're saying lads... but I'd expect adventure bikes to have the edge on b roads. I can see that a GT is going to be better suited to faster A roads but B roads often have very poor surfaces.

[@NotNowCato1254]

So do our bloody A roads! 😤

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

After watching this I have to say that Suzuki made a really nice job on this bike. Very detailed test ride/review. Thanks Lamb. You got my like.

[@victorgonza4528]

Good one Chops, excellent bike and video again , black on black would be my color of choice .

[@ZOMGfantasy]

I think the Kawasaki is a better buy, on paper atleast: - Remote preload - Adjustable windshield - IMU & Cornering ABS - Cheaper (in Canada) - More aftermarket support - Used bikes actually exist - Better looking (imo)

[@alrightdave6135]

Only the latest model sx though

[@Jaslath]

@@alrightdave6135 Last 3 model years.

[@chrispack3131]

I had the GSX-S1000F ( brilliant motorcycle) so this GT version is just a bit more touring focused but the same K6 engine. Can’t go wrong!

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

More than a bit from what I've read.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Have to agree. Great value and great bike. Drop by buddy, you may find it interesting.

[@chrispack3131]

@Crusader General yes sorry your correct K5

[@josephparry]

I thought the k5-k7 engines were the same as it carried on from the k5?

[@chrispack3131]

@@josephparry just done some research mate & found out the K5-K6 are the same engine. The K7-K8 is basically the same engine but different exhaust & larger throttle bodies. Ride safe

[@nerolazarov3200]

Been watching a lot of your reviews and love how thorough they are with taking the bikes through normal road conditions and long rides. Would absolutely love a comparison with the Ninja 1000 SX; I'm looking at both the Suzuki GT and the Ninja for a new bike and am curious about the differences.

[@breton523]

Would love a Lamb Chop and Greg VS test with this and the Kawasaki 1000SX

[@gregtufnall6276]

I’m in Chopsy, just let me know!

[@LambChopRides]

Let's do it! 😁😁

[@CaffeineFreak13]

Cant wait, those are the 2 bikes im stuck between as well

[@twistandgo3414]

Yeah, let's see this with a bit of track action thrown in to the mix. Road tour, stop at a track day, Ditch the panniers, have a hoon round, continue the tour and head home! 😎👍😁👌

[@stinkerdoodle1737]

@@LambChopRides make it happen. 😜

[@darwinLee81283]

Suzuki has got their money worth out of this Beast of a Engine!!

[@barryjmarling]

I’ve had my bandit from new 2016,this is a really serious contender as a replacement,what a bike,wish I hadn’t seen this now chopsy,think if your review was on a black one I’d been in dept.🤣 Great video John.

[@baz8996]

I've ordered one, can't wait, reviews are all good!

[@brucekendall52]

Looks a great value bike and a good bike at that.Thanks a mill.

[@josgraha]

thanks again for the excellent and hilarious review, that gixxer sound is impeccable, always thought the gixxer made a great sports tourer, nice little change up too, well done Suzuki

[@johnhart868]

Great video good to see someone still likes Suzuki.

[@tahirsharif9461]

Thanks for the review Chopsy. Really enjoying the day trip format as you get a good mix of riding in over the course of the day. I’ll vote for a comparison with the Kawasaki - always like the Performance Tourer, a more affordable H2 SX style bike.

[@tonywilliamson4512]

Good review thanks,any plans on one for the honda nt 1100? Would, like your views against the gsx100f.

[@icanmanifest]

1. What can be done to fix the brake feel? 2. What tires would you get for street riding?

[@jonathanluttrell1380]

I love my Triumph Street Triple R (which I bought last July) but this is more inline with what I originally wanted. The Triple is a good commuter but gets uncomfortable on long rides. This might be a contender for a trade it. Plus my wife might actually ride this lol

[@davidelizabeth4933]

It's a winner. Looking forward to a Kawi comparo with Greggy Baby!!! ❤❤

[@fermzy]

Bought a new one of these, very easy to use, smooth, not mental, brakes need a good squeeze, good handling bike

[@highestsprings]

Great review. Have looked at this bike and would be pretty torn between this and an SX. A comparison video as clear as this one would be great. Looks like a fantastic ride, can't bring myself to like adventure bikes so nice to see this segment still alive!

[@alanbarnes2920]

Another fine A-Z real world review Chops! Look forward to you comparing it with the Kawasaki SX.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Alan 👍

[@MrGoat61]

It seems that Suzuki have struck the jackpot here, hopefully they sell a lot of these.

[@ninja636dac]

Looks good but could probably do with a remote preload adjuster for rear shock and provision for a top box? Anyway great review as always Mr Chops ✌️👍

[@andrewwiltse8882]

Great review Chopsy, beautiful trip as well.🍻

[@Supaxiro]

That location with the drone footage is so beautiful. I don't know how you can just leave after a long ride there. And then I remember Oh what fun it is to ride and I understand you lol. Thanks for that review Chopsie!

[@JIMMER15]

Another great vid Chopsy. Can't believe the route the satnav gave you after Corfe Castle (I live in Swanage) sending you down the narrow lanes 😳😳 2021 Ninja 1000sx owner 😁

[@croscoe333]

Suzuki definitely has my attention with this machine!

[@krazokid19]

Great review! I just rode my dad's 82 Yamaha Seca 650 and I can show you some real "wooden brakes" they even have stainless braided lines on them haha

[@steveball2307]

Great stuff, love the slightly longer vid with a combination of review and a bit of "travelogue " 😉. Was certainly a great day for a ride, lovely to see some blue sky!

[@MadOldBiker]

Great video there Chopsy...nice bike and very informative on the Bike...and of course a bit of "dronage"

[@glenwhyte2555]

I think it's a cracking looking bike.. Although I'm slightly more tempted by the kawasaki sx1000 performance edition. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@technigadgetspartners2241]

Looks like a great bike and keep it up showcasing this kind.

[@technigadgetspartners2241]

By the way, we like to support you more, We are just wondering if you guys want us to send you free sunglasses? I did send you some emails for detail. We hope you might like them.

[@RideSafeNSmart]

Great review, lettings us know whats real life important. Test rode one this morning and the thing that suprised me most is how easy / well mannered this is at lower speeds. Expected it to be very quick and capable but did not expect it to be so intuitive and easy around town, think i might have found my next bike. Thanks for your help! 👍🏻🙌👊

[@talkingrock7011]

Another great review Chops the Suzuki is a good in between for a garage with room for a single bike , I’ve considered this bike for my self

[@calikid7117]

I love my 2006 GSXR 1000 K6 Engine is a Gem, this makes me want to buy my bike all over again lol awesome everything I like but more comfort.

[@GPz84]

No adjustable windscreen, no remote preload adjuster for rear shock, no lean sensitive ABS, geared too short. Suzuki adresses these things and it's a winner for me.

[@alanbarnes2920]

Spot on comment Chef..also a top box for me

[@36moto]

I must agree, great value and great performance... I rode it last week and didn’t want to give it back, lovely engine and chassis. Nice vid Chops...

[@stevekirk6399]

just watched moore mafia tune one of these with the loudest brocks exhaust ever. they got 149bhp in the end 134 at the start. yours seemed fast enough. great vid.

[@TheRailsailor]

Can’t wait to see the comparison to the Kawi 1000SX. Great video! Beaney! Luv ir!

[@andrewshore262]

Some good roads coming out of Stockbridge en route to Salisbury👍, I think Suzuki have built a winner that’s affordable - a good watch thanks Chops

[@rufus1346]

I've been riding for over 40 years and have never owned a bike with a fairing. I have had a go on a few mates bikes and found them really uncomfortable and to be honest they all look the same to me, no character but they were all full on sports bikes. As I approach 60 I think maybe I should revisit with a sports tourer. This could be my first step into the fairing bike world. I have owned quite a few Suzuki's and always found them very good and reliable.

[@richardwalmsley7579]

I had a GSXR1000 and put flat bars on it, almost identical riding position to the GSXS1000, but with more power, also very comfy, you can raise the standard screen with a cpl 1-2cm spacers

[@hugod2385]

You are full of ego. You are not a reference.

[@Achilles22]

Less flies in summer on your gear, and easier to clean after a ride. Less turbulence too.

[@bobsyeruncle4841]

another super review on a super bike man, thanks and stay safe.

[@roninmantis7584]

Thank you for giving some insight. As I looked at the bike I was trying to decide if the bike was small or you are a large man. Now, I know it's the latter.

[@skts2610]

Cracking review Chops… Gotta say that it’s on my list of try outs this year, well priced, we’ll equipped and cracking performance. My only criticism after having a good look round it at the shows, is the build quality of things like the pegs, levers etc… looks budgety! But then at £12500ish I suppose it is made to a budget! I will be having a go, but the H2SXSE won’t be going anywhere anytime soon😉👍🏽

[@liveinwonder7221]

Thanks Chopsy, now I want one 😂😂. Another great video!!

[@markbaker5221]

Excellent video. Really useful for me, looking at changing to a GT and this is now firmly on my test ride list. Ride safe.

[@paulfowler6665]

I saw mcn compare this with the Ninja 1000sx and conclude the Kawasaki was better in most areas but as the owner of a 2019 1000SX I wonder if this would be more or less on a par with my bike instead? Great review and looking forward to a comparison test with the Ninja

[@lynsmith1096]

Another good review Lamb Chop. This is a very nice bike from Suzuki.

[@minnesotavikings7163]

[@gerardmontgomery280]

It looks like a lot of bike for the money and one that can do just about anything you need it too.

[@conkerman01]

I have the F and this looks to have addressed all the weaknesses of that bike, I suspect I’ll be buying one in the nearish future.

[@carlsitler9071]

I still have my Suzuki 1200S in the backyard which is tied with my favorite bike (V65 Magna). I would certainly trade my Triumph America for this one.

[@SomewhereInside]

Hi Just discovered this bike recently ,your jacket looks very coo and practical…is it good for hot weather 34 degrees. Plus .? Great. Video. Have a Versys 650 it’s longer suspension travel soaks up the potholes , that is also where adventure bikes shine also , not just off road , but bad bitumen.

[@bryansuperduke1290r]

I used the map function on my phone last week and nearly used all the power in 2 hours, either need it connected to bike or a power pack if using it for a longer ride.

[@soulrebelno1]

I was at the dealers last week, because I'm looking at getting one of these bikes, John. Do you think changing the pads would help with the brakes? I spoke to a Suzuki mechanic while I was getting my bike serviced, and he said it makes a big difference. I'm looking at booking a demo soon, I'm itching to test out that K5 engine!

[@ronhebler8979]

I love your bike reviews, I am trying to decide on this bike or the naked s1000. Probably going with the GT. Is the brake feel fixable with better pads?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes quite possibly 👍

[@Nell1052]

Nice review Chopsy 👍 Test rode one & really enjoyed the ride, would have liked a taller screen & a flatter seat to ahem stretch back at speed, a great GT bike for sensible money. If only Triumph could put a 1200RS Speedie motor in a Sprint GT 😜

[@ianmalleau3398]

Thanks for another great review Chops! As much as I love Yamaha's torquey tripple, this is a significant upgrade in all respects from my Tracer so I ordered one in February with the taller windshield and panniers. With supply issues here in Canada I'm still waiting for it but I have no doubt based on all the comments and reviews that it's a very good bike for the money.

[@Wadeifer]

Can you compare it to the Versys 1000? More Sport and less Touring?

[@gerokatseros]

One question please, how is the torgue? Do you have it to rev it alot to get some torgue? I m asking because now i own a bandit 1250S and i m thinkng to change (after 14 years being happy with the bandit) to this bike but I m afraid that I will have to rev it alot to get some descent torgue that I was getting from my bandit at very low revs. Wonderful review!

Depends on the quality of the road surfaces.Really rough and holed surface and adventure suspension makes sense for touring.
