Suzuki inline 4's are smooth, bullet proof works of art. Yes, they may not have the latest electronics but as like my L6 GSXR 750, it is a real riders bike, All the inputs come from you and that makes you a better rider. I also own a DRZ400E and that design has not changed for 20 years and they still sell like hot cakes for a reason.

Good honest test ,I have owned one for nearly 4 years .The good points are the engine clutch gearbox the seat general riding position reliably (58000kms not one problem) and the sound. The GSX-S will stay with a BMW S1000R in a drag race.The throttle response is easily improved by removing the air box restrictor, a arko slip on and making sure that theTPS unit is adjusted correctly . The bad points are the suspension which is crap,it's hard to work on and the brake pads need an upgrade ( easily done). The GSX-S is great on fuel never uses oil between changes.Overall the GSX-S is top value for the money ; but now I want 1290 Superduke

Tuned suspension, although replacing rear shock soon, at 4800 miles, replaced the Dunlaps with Michelins, handles much better. Flashing my ECU to correct air/fuel, twitch and engine braking, removing cat and sensors, replacing with straight pipe and M4 can. This should make her sweet.

Brilliant bike, great review.Thought you were a little harsh on the suspension though. A big lad like you needs more rear preload even without luggage or a pillion and an overall addition of more damping front and back. A 9st rider will get a completely different ride with stock suspension settings. He’ll have a shorter trail, more turn in and have a less wallowing ride than you. Take a screwdriver and a C spinner (if needed) on your test rides, you are not the average rider weight.

I used to own a B-King a nd never needed the valve clearances shimmed. I read on a forum that one owner, who serviced his own bike, never had to do a shim in 80,000 miles. My mechanic in Portimao told me that the big Suzuki inline fours were like that. That is something I like. I wouldn't mind a big inline four again and find the CB1000R attractive to look at. Very much so, but this bike has more mid-range, looks okay and has that engine. Shame they're too pricey in Thailand, where I spend most of my year now.

I just sold my mt09 last month for not obvious reason other than getting a different bike. I ended buying this bike for 7k with extras, 4,000 miles me and the 2018 model. I really love it and don't miss the mt09. Well, i miss the led headlight...the mt09 is a great bike too. It's just one of those bikes that you can keep forever. I feel this one is the same too. I just wanted to try a different bike and this dornst disappoint.

I’d love to see a straight line run vs an MT10. Both are similar in power, slight edge to Suzuki stock, after modding and tuning the gap closes slightly with both 150whp easy on most any dyno . Have yet to see a video of these 2 bikes going WOT next to each other. Edit- you got it backwards Chops. TEN=Rebound. COMP=Compression.

I own a 2021 superduke and bought a new gsxs in June for 8.5 k for a bit of touring or the odd track day. Gotta maxton shock on it ,decent tyres and lithium battery . It's a weapon and I've been riding more than the KTM. My friends got a panigale 1299 final edition and my 8.5k gsxs dicks his 34k plankigale . Cheap thrills indeed

I just love mine, I agree I will change out the shock and all will be good, great review. I also agree they need to bring some new bikes out and a new one these would be great.

I think you'll be seeing more Suzuki bikes in the coming days, they are the MotoGP 2020 World Champions

Its great news for them and I hope equates to more domestic business for them. I read somewhere they have a much smaller budget than most of the other teams which surprised me.

Demo rode both the 750 and 1000 S. I liked the 750 better. Wouldn't mind having one.

When I had my 2015 Gixxer 600, the fact it had none of the electronics and faff was the big appeal to me. That being said, I do love my 1000 R. Suzuki’s, to me, have always been the most comfortable sportsbikes.
@bern1e744 жыл бұрын
@Justin Voluck Totally agree. Wish I’d kept my 600 as a second bike. May have to get another one, maybe the 750 this time though.
