Suzuki GSX-R1000 vs. GSX-R1000R Track Test

There's only one letter's difference between the GSX-R1000 and the GSX-R1000R but what is the difference in the real world? Is the 'R' really worth the higher purchase price? Don takes a fast friend to Red Star Raceway to find out once and for all.

[@matey182]

Bad luck South Africa, Australia gets the bi-directional shifter and a Yoshi slip on with the standard model now.

Ungowa cunta!

[@Rohit10394]

Even I was apprehensive about it at first but as you guys completely nailed it with the Value equation. Kudos!

[@darkknight17]

I love this channel. Great video thanks.

Great video lads

Young guys are very lucky to have these type of bike in their young life cause all we had was a cb750 Honda at best a 900 kaw z1

Coherent?

[@motosocalpch7364]

What I learned from my Daytona 675 and gsxr 750 is that the more “technology” you jam into a bike means the more things that can go wrong and fail on you and leave you stranded on the side of the rode.

[@aisu8481]

Idk what year your daytona was, but my 09 had hardly any electronics at all

[@treytucker5619]

Right bro. Lmfao, you rode a Triumph?

[@jsalemi9711]

@Freerider Glad someone was right on with a powerful comment!!! Thank You

[@MM-iy9wf]

To this day, I still enjoy my 2005 R1 (exhaust under the seat) where you had no assistance and nothing. Just your aptitude to control acceleration and breaking. I prefered it that way. Now, it is packed with technology and it also cost almost the double (mine brand new r1 2005 12300 euro vs around 20.000 now).

[@RahulAllanMedia]

Please do the same comparo between the Fireblade SP1 and the standard Blade :D

[@supergrizzidentity]

I didn’t know this channel was South Africa until you priced it in rand

[@GUNNER12R]

The shifter and blip are simple to add through a hacked ECU.

[@LucaBonato]

with the money saved from buying the base model you could buy aftermarket shock and a fork cartridge ( internals ) which are way better than that showas...

[@juicer404]

this man speaks the truth

[@AJTalks]

You lose out on cornering ABS, lightweight battery, and no fork internals can compete with the external cartridge on the BFF except for a complete set of ohlins forks.I did the math, you end up spending more on the base. Plus no sexy LED strips.

[@juicer404]

them brembos and even the showa suspenion be made for mass production so wouldnt be as good as the aftermarket stuff u can buy, bit like a ohlins damper on a zx10r, they be licence by ohlins to make but wouldnt be anywhere near as good as after market u can buy for it, same goes for the ohlins that come on rsv4, there never gonna be as good as aftermartket stuff u buy direct from ohlins, anyone i know that raced the zx10r that came with showa still bought aftermarket ktec cartridge kit or ohlins one... ull see nobody on grid racing with that R rated shit that comes on special edition bikes

[@LucaBonato]

+Alex Johnson abs is normally excluded by riders because it's too invasive. the forks are not so good, even the standard ohlins for some bike are not real Ohlins... external cartridge is just cool to see but nothing extraordinaire. even on a small crash you can damage the reservoir.

[@AJTalks]

The external reservoirs are not for show, they isolate the compression and rebound dampening. The standard forks don't do that. All of the standard Ohlins equipped bikes also have separated compression and rebound. You can't add that feature to the big pistons

[@jorgehernandez1294]

Basically, just buy the standard if you wont used it for the track.

[@Zeebo1uk]

NewReefAddict ! For racers the base model is better because fork cartridge kits are used and rear shock replaced, also the sensor for the auto blipper on the R model is too sensitive (caused a few crashes already) so after market on would he better, both bikes have the same motor only a few differences between bikes which don't justify the price hike

[@calikid7116]

standard bike. ecu flash. Ohlins fork and shock, Brembo Master cylinder, stainless lines, pads, slip on for same price as the R version.

[@markcontreras4035]

I like the big breaks

[@markcontreras4035]

Can you add a tire higher even tho it dosnt have one ?

[@AJTalks]

No mention of cornering ABS for the R? And why does he keep calling the BFFs big piston forks instead of balance free forks? The stocker has the big pistons.The forks are the same height as the base model with the option to raise the clip ons for more stroke under braking for the track.

[@IgnitionBikeShow]

He was getting confused between balance free and big piston. Easy to do when you're concentrating on where you're going!

[@treytucker5619]

Mkay!

holy shoot, I thouth WHAT 35 THOUSAND GRAND??? :)

[@AP-gn9fd]

Exhaust isn't big enough

[@Peskarik]

It's not Suzuki's fault, it's Euro4 fault. AND Suzuki did not put a huge bread basket under the bike (a la R1 and S1000RR, both looking ugly, and new Fireblade covering it up nicely with stretched fairing), instead making a bigger muffler...which is easily replaceable! Smart from Suzuki, as usual, their bikes are easy to work on.

[@Allenamenwarenschonweg]

@@PeskarikOnly the bike needs a remap afterwards and is not street legal anymore. Great.

[@moorepower13]

@@Allenamenwarenschonweg Yes. in 5 minutes install a slip-on, 20 min install a flashed ECU and 10 min install a new air filter. you have it ready for the world. Thank you Suzuki for making a bike for the owner.

[@163082rock]

corinful lmao like this gsxr is any better.

[@163082rock]

corinful plus just because the bike went into neutral on a downshift and resulted in a crash doesn’t mean that the blade is “shit” if anything at all it means that the quick shifter or gear box on the fire blade is shit.

[@thebikeshowsa]

They were using racing electronics. The standard stuff used in normal circumstances is actually very good.

[@Dixoncider1973]

motosocal nailed it, all that electronic shit, is just more to go wrong, and they need to give the 600 supersports more love, great bikes and all the bike 95% of people use or can handle.

It's not an R and non R, it's a single R and a double R

Suzuki doesn't have double r

[@chrissorreda4982]

Pathetic. They're comparing the two Gixxers / GSX-Rs. Non R and R. You don't count the first R because there's no such thing as a GSX bike.

[@chrissorreda4982]

@@Thomas998822 Ya’ll are hyper analyzing this to much. Just call it a GSXR, a GSX-double-R or a GSXS. If you want to say the whole thing in casual conversations, be my guest. And i’ve never heard anyone call a Hayabusa a ‘GSX’ even though it technically is one. Its like how people act like pronouncing the latest fireblade is hard. Yeah its funny but just say Triple R.

[@MrPninja]

The ZX10r launch control is actually quicker than without using

[@fivespeed3026]

MrPninja I’d be willing to bet that your average rider isn’t faster without the launch control. Kind of like ABS, a really good rider can brake quicker without it, but your average rider can’t.

[@MrPninja]

Fivespeed 302 yeah I think you’re definitely right

[@treytucker5619]

launch control is gay

[@justinburtonracing5135]

I'm years too late BUT launch control isn't for legit racers, its made for average joes to look cool at stop lights and not send the front wheel over your head

My question to all those people that want all those rider aids is WHY? why would you want all that shit? Isn't that like having a hot girl friend and having your buddy fuck her for you? The fun part of riding is mastering all the inputs with your own brain and skills. If they perfect that robot that rides will you buy that to and just have it ride for you? Seriously the world needs to step back and realize this is not progress.
