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

The Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT is a new model from Suzuki which replaces the old GSXS1000 F.
The new GT machine is not only a replacement for the old F model but also goes further by providing not only the faring and a high screen and full panniers and real long distance touring extras like cruise control and proper satnav screen integration.
I've been lucky enough to ride this beast for the last week and what better way to test it than a long trip to the seaside!

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

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.

[@fido0825]

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 👏 👍👍

[@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 👍👍

[@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. 👍

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@RandysRides]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@darwinLee81283]

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

[@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.

[@CrusaderGeneral]

K5 engine

[@chrispack3131]

@@CrusaderGeneral yes sorry your correct K5

[@josephparry]

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

[@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)

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

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😁

[@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

[@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!

[@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 ✌️👍

[@MadOldBiker]

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

[@brucekendall52]

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

[@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

[@MrGoat61]

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

[@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! 😤

[@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 👍

[@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

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

Great review Chopsy, beautiful trip as well.🍻

[@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😉👍🏽

[@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...

[@roderernst9990]

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

[@junderwoituk]

Another great review Chops, yeah looking like a real good bike and a strong contender.

[@blandrooker6541]

Just a thought on the windscreen design, if one watches the "official" promo videos on the R&D process for this bike from Suzuki, you'll notice that in the wind tunnel shots the rider is pretty short and in a more tucked position so the aerodynamic design is pretty much set up for those parameters. For those of us Asians that are over 6 feet tall, the touring screen is a much better option, I sourced mine from Suzuki which is 7 cm taller and about the same wider, and still ended up using the Puig visor I got for the stock screen. I still get good airflow through the bottom vent and can adjust the Puig in warmer weather to get air hitting the vents in my helmet.

[@lynsmith1096]

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

[@LambChopRides]

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.

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.

[@ndperson1]

I wanted either the one of the non gt gsxs 1000 variants or the mt09. Strangely wasn't having great luck getting a good deal on a gsxs 1000 so got a 2021 mt09. Wish I could have rode a 1000 tho. Never had a liter bike and wondered what it was like. Gearing down my mt09 and only ride on highways so maybe I wouldn't even notice the difference (put over 5000 miles on stock gearing, always feel bikes are geared too high in my opinion and I only ride for fun not gas mileage)

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.

[@louismasters5531]

hi now done 400 miles on the suzuki fantastic bike 2 things though 1 brakes are good but do lack feel as mentioned and number 2 gearing could be lower in top say by 500 revs this bike hardly needs a gearbox it pulls from anywhere on the dial

Good to hear you too had trouble with connection using the mySPIN app. Nice solution with the Sygic app 👌 To the bike and the experience.. aren't they good! I absolutely loved the short time I had on one recently, and was a bit sad to be giving the key back. I really like how you include video shots and info of where you are through the vids.

I think the Kawasaki 1000sx pips it ever so slightly on nearly every front. Suzuki are definitely at least one peg down on the ladder when it comes to quality of finish. The green machine is the business with fantastic looks too. I'm sure some will disagree but that's my honest opinion.

[@juniormin3454]

Sorry I've owned a few late model Kawasaki and Suzuki bikes, both the Kawasaki 2019 ZX-10R and the 2019 ZX-6R had stone chips all over the fuel tank at very low mileage, and Kawasaki's finishing are a bit floppy, fairings, pillion seat, ignition barrel etc. are all loose from new. If you look at the 2019 ZX-10R catalytic converter, there are 2 welded holes on both side like half finished project, but they came like that from NEW!! Where Suzuki bikes are very solid build, everything seems tightly fitted and never had any stone chip issues on the paint.

[@corin6677]

No chance the Kwak is ugly as fook and looks mega dated
