The videograpgy is getting better and better, seriously PowerDrift have put India on the global map by being the awesome channel it is. 500K is nothing, this channel deserves a million subscribers and the salute of all Indian motorcycle enthusiasts

This exhaust is bigger than my future ;)

[@christopherguzik8727]

Haha funny, but Suzuki wanted this bike to comply with EURO4 emission regulations. Therefore they restricted the bike heavily by creating this elephant sized exhaust. I guess Suzuki is betting that people who will buy the bike, will get rid of the standard exhaust anyway.

[@whodat4265]

Heard this before

[@redline4184]

lol u power drift , u couldnt find de sarcasm. what he meant to say was choose a nice color when ur reviewing coz in most part , da environment was more visible dan de bike . Moreover all ur themes r same so he find de visuals interesting dan ur review ,which means ur core product is of much less interest dan augmented ones.

Hate those US style position lights aka always on front indicators. Can use a exhaust swap. All in all an amazing bike. Cinematography is spot on!

Powerdrift.... Please this one. Hayabusa or GSX-R1000? Or a GSX-R750? Because I have heard that 1000 and 750 both share the same 299KM/H Top Speed

[@sivvinod3187]

750 is not sold in India. The busa is 13 lakhs, buy is waay slower than the gsxr 1000.

Probably one of the best videos i have ever watched by Powerdrift, you guys are just doing amazing. Channels like motorcycle.com and Mcn are gonna think twice after watching this one.

Hands down best looking and best sounding bike of 2017. And Powerdrift chose best looking location for shoot as always.

Does anyone recognize that exhaust node... Yes , Daytona with Arrow..

There is only one thing to say about brakes on top line performance motorcycles: Brembo M50 or GTFO.

[@manashroy1575]

Hey Atulya, thank you so much for the honour!

[@dhruvsolanki3689]

Hello PowerDrift! Just curious, what if Serge crashes one of the Media Bikes? Do you bear the expense? Is there a medical team present at race track?

[@somethingaboutmirrors]

I reckon they'd be covered under some sort of insurance, if [in case] they damage the vehicles

[@dhruvsolanki3689]

Most probably.

[@shehinh5963]

They have got a trade insurance for the unregistered bikes brother..

[@rockyp3917]

Having owned the Suzuki GSXR 1000 (2016). I can assure you that the novelty of owning a sports bike wears off very quickly. It extremely uncomfortable, insurance costs a fortune ($125/ month) in Australia. And the maximum you can ride is two hours on a trot. I traded that bike for a Hayabusa only to realise that it was not practical either. Naked bikes are much more fun, lower on insurance and maintenance costs and far more practical for daily use and touring. I know we have a fascination about sports bikes in India but have owned a few sports bikes now, I can say with assurance that a KTM 1290/ 690 super duke or duke is more than enough power you will ever need. Or better yet check out the hidden gem Suzuki Sv650 possibly the best motorcycle ever built, don't take my word for it get a test ride or watch Revzilla, motorcycle.com reviews on it.

[@ashdivakaran9664]

I have a ZX14r in Australia and it's been alright. I'm thinking of getting the new GSXR. 1290 is expensive to buy and insure. MT09 is probably the most sensible bike for riding everyday but it's not in the same league as the bigger bikes

[@thexperiment961]

Sad but true. I own a suzuki k8 and if i can i take public transport instead of riding my gixxers. She fun but she not pratical for day to day life

Powerdrift, you have surpassed yourselves! My favourite bike reviews on KZbin by a MILE!

[@Ihelpanytime]

A question to all Indians: Why would you take a 1000cc sport bike in a city where you can't use its full potential?

[@jeevanchaukar]

Not sure where are you from - but you need to know one simple thing. In entire world inclusive of developed countries as well as developing ones, nowhere you can use 1000 cc superbike to its potential on the road. Only one exception is GERMANY with its magnificent network of AUTOBAHNS that allow you to legally reach very high speeds and still you can stay safe. USA, UK, Australia etc have a lot of restrictions and so do other countries have. India has ridiculous levels of restrictions but attitude towards implementing those is quite flexible - so in fact I dare say that you can ride faster in India than say in USA (they will literally hand-cuff you in case you do 100MPH i.e. 160 kmph or higher! That's something many riders in India do without much trouble). I am not at all claiming that going at higher speed on Indian road is safe. I would not recommend you to do it. But it can be done and people do it. It has risks. So I always suggest wearing full riding gear and be very conscious of the amount of traffic and sudden interruptions possible on great(?) Indian roads. Fast riding is indeed possible in India as long as we know our own limits and are aware of possible dangers so as to not take too much risk.
