Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT sound [RAW Onboard]

[@Motoboo_Marine]

I love how you ride fast but still demonstrate safe riding by not passing during blind corners even though your instincts are clearly telling you to do so. Great example!

[@gokulkrishm51]

Yesterday, Suzuki finished their last MotoGP race with a win! (Kudos to Rins) And Schaaf uploading a vid featuring a Suzuki felt special.

Yeah I’m gonna get one in the future and keep it pretty much stock. Just enough engine noise for me but nice and quiet when out in the country enjoying the views.

[@Playtechy]

What do you think of it versus the Kawasaki 1000SX? I love the looks of the Suzuki (the exhaust looks so much better) but I think the Kawasaki sounds much better, it's such a frustrating issue I find it hard to parse the two as they are great for different reasons.

[@PaulKind3d]

it is super flickable!! A real delight to ride!

[@4KPOVDrive]

@@Schaaf I took a ride recently and I noticed that quickshifter kicking when I shift gears up during acceleration. I was able to do it faster and smoother when I turn quickshifter off and change without cluch. In ducati like diavel v4 or multistrada v4 I did not encounter such behaviour - it was extremely smooth and fast. What is your opinion? or maybe I am using it in the wrong way.

Which one would you choose between this and the kawa ninja 1000sx? I am thinking about buying one of those two, but I am just not sure which one to go for. The kawa looks a little bit more sophisticated on paper (lean sensitive electronics, torquier engine with lower top end, so maybe better on road?).

[@Schaaf]

I enjoyed the Suzuki more but the Kawa is probably the better bike

[@Schaaf]

yes!!

[@juiceiz2dope]

No, I currently have this bike and the cruise control sucks. Hardly works most of the time. I have to activate it before I can actually ride or it will not work. It's alot of complaints about the cruise control if you google it. Its a good bike, but they cruise control was a factor for buying it. And saddle bags are not that great. The lock system on the panniers already broke, and only used it twice.

You have thr best uploads on youtube. How much do you like the suzuki? Im thinkng buying one this summer.

[@Schaaf]

Read my thoughts at the end of the video please

[@FernitoAM]

How do you find the wind protection/noise? Most reviewers complain about it very badly. Are you running the standard or touring screen? Thanks mate, this sounds incredibly well, both the bike and your production. edit: Too impatient, just got to the end of the video where you talk about it. So it seems you agree with others, clean but very noisy wind. Do you find the same with the Ninja 1000? Or is the wind noise/turbulence better with that one

[@Schaaf]

I unfortunately can't remember how it was on the Ninja - but just from looking at its screen I expect it was similarly loud as the GT

[@mbal4052]

I rode a ninja 1000 lately and found it very comfortable at speed. There was virtually no buffetting and hardly any wind noise cruising at about 100mph. I was very impressed with it

[@RalfK-m5x]

Super schöne landschaft. Welche Region ist das ? Bin sie auch schon probe gefahren. Finde den Quicks der Super. Finde Sie sehr handlich und der Motor läuft auch bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten Ohne ruckeln. Kann nicht jede der neuen Motorräder. Leider.

[@gerokatseros]

wow ,... what a ride! You mentioned the gear ratio and this is what i felt myself when i saw you ridding ... you get the most of the power when you have already reached big speed and you have to slow down. You mentioned it is easy fix ... what is the fix? and do you have to correct the speedometer if you do it? (i suppose you change a spoke) ... i couldn't stop watching this video

[@Schaaf]

Yes you'd just have to change the sprockets but I don't know how that would affect the speedo and if there would be more chances to be done

[@sparky337]

Great riding great bike great road .Were is this ?

[@leesangjun7636]

Amazing riding skill and view. where is there? which states?

[@JelloThatsMellow]

Glad you liked it. Hopefully they fix the gearing thing next update. What were your thoughts on the brakes? Reviewers always mentioned them feeling wooden.

[@connorwilson1440]

I have the 2022 GSX S1000 (same brakes) and although they don't have that same bite that other bike have (the wooden feeling), once you feed power into them they are very good. A different set of brake pads will solve the issue, as well as a better master cylinder and some braided lines. Overall though they are good

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Jello! I was totally fine with the brakes although I also did not test them to the limit. For the kind of riding shown in the video they were powerful enough and also quite easy to control

[@DB-so8zc]

Awesome video and commentary as always. How would you contrast/ compare the GT to the Ninja 1000 SX? Thanks and ride safe!

[@Schaaf]

they are very simila

[@fadetoblackMotorcycle]

Ninja it's better, has more low end tourque and suspension works great.

[@cheetor18]

Here are some odd questions. This 1000GT or the Hayabusa Gen 3? For touring purposes which do you find more suitable? What about daily use?

[@tonyvador67]

thx for the great content as always i wonder if this would be a good spiritual successor to my current bandit 650s, i guess it would be the choice of reason but i kinda want a GSXR 600 or 750 (k4 to k12)

[@Schaaf]

it could be. The GT can be a very unreasonable bike too ;)

[@Mrxtech93]

I had the GSX-S1000, like 2017 version or something. The engine is the only thing i remember. It's something, and that noise it does, like a dragon ready to bite... The suspension, the brakes etc didn't convince me. The actual GT is the roadster with additional amount of plastic, not a real sport-GT. It doesn't even offer a semi-handlebar. Even the CBR650 has semi-handlebar !

[@Schaaf]

Indeed I was very glad it had normal bars lol

[@gerokatseros]

One more question , if you had a 2 cylinder bike (like africa twin) would you be able to reach biggest acceleration and get to corners sooner?

[@Schaaf]

There is different 2 cylinders with very different engine characteristics. Impossible to say that

[@magnusschimmel2614]

Wenn mich ein Motorrad interessiert, schaue ich immer zuerst nach ob der Schaaf es gefahren hat. Der beste Weg zu sehen was das Ding kann. "Testen" tun hier viele auf langweiligen britischen und griechischen Strassen bei KZbin, aber nur beim Schaaf sieht und hört man was machbar ist. Auch wenn ich mich nur 50% davon traue... 😂

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

How does it compare to a base tuono v4? Seems like it would be a decent more budget friendly alternative with less performance/tech.

[@Schaaf]

much better. The base Tuono supposedly was more trimmed towards traveling but in reality it is not. The GT however is fantastic for long journeys.

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

@@Schaaf would be nice if they gave these bikes at least hydraulic preload adjusters for passenger/luggage purposes. Having that being electronic would be even more awesome. Albeit I wouldn't want to have a passenger on the tuono anyway. Base tuono is a bit misadvertised and not differentiated enough from the factory since most differences are pretty easy and inexpensive to switch around (windscreen, sprocket, tires, passenger pegs, seats, bar risers to adjust the height there, some of the factories came with rsv4 subframes and some with same as base tuono), the biggest difference being the electronic suspension which makes more sense for the road. The legs are just as crunched up as rsv4, Aprilia has delivered zero sets of panniers to the US of A, so most people use aftermarket.

Depends. I've been on the F as well. It was very pleasant except for an annoyingly nervous throttle response. If this issue can be fixed with a reflash or something like that I'd be happy with the old one

You don't have to rev it at all. You can comfortably do 50kph in 5th or so. Drop it down one gear and you're good to overtake basically everything from the same speed on.

Thanks for one more! there is a strange sound under the harder brakes what is that? And the questions is, this or the 1000sx? this is lighter and has more 10hp, do you notice it, do you think it turns better then the Sx? And do you think it scrappes the footpegs to easily? Cheers ;)

that's ABS on the rear getting engaged. I'd have to compare the SX and GT directly to be able to make that call. I can't do it from my memory. But the Suzuki definitely does have enough ground clearance for my style of riding

One thing that I hate and that I really don't understand on this bike is why the put on the rear tire a 190/50 measure. It'useless, in 2022 no one uses it. It would have been much better with 190/55, like almost every bike. 190/50 is a less performing tyre, and there are much less modern tyres on the market in this size, cause is old and no one uses it anymore. EDIT: to people saying "change the tyre", the problem is this, you can't change the original measure of the tyre, it is ILLEGAL, if police stops you and notice that, or worst, if you have an accident, you are really in trouble with an illegal measur tyre.
