As ugly as those rear fenders are on most motorcycles they actually are functional because once you remove them and put a tail tidy on expect to have mud all over your back if you ride in the rain or wet roads

[@Johnnyreengo]

thank god for tire huggers

[@luddite6239]

Correct - and in many countries it's a legal requirement as the rearmost part of the bike cannot be the tyre.

[@Arthur_Tuck]

That's ok cause I'm a dirty boy

[@sportstermissions]

That fender is offensive!! 😂

[@promothonghosh8531]

Just bought my first bike. been watching you for a mine thanks yam

[@zudosmg]

Fully agree with the cruise control. Almost every other brand is installing them if they have RBW. I have the Vstrom 800 and just bought the Kaoko Cruise Control for it. Works friggin great!

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

I own a 2023 MT 09 SP, I have used the cruise control one time, I sincerely don't understand why everyone thinks it is so cool.

[@Powermad-bu4em]

​@@JoeStanek-vu7rl It's just one more thing for people to bitch about.

[@zudosmg]

@@unclealzbbq2185 Still accomplishes the same thing. Whatever you want to call it.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

Almost every other brand is NOT installing cruise control on bikes under 1000cc. Chinese companies are, Moto Guzzi offers it on some mid-sized bikes, BMW has the longest history with it. The Big4 don't put it on mid-sized bikes RBW notwithstanding. MT09 is the exception, but I don't know if I am calling that a mid-sized bike. Perhaps you should ask your preferred moto journalist to ask why that is. Maybe it's about marketing (extra feature to make bigger bikes seem more valuable) maybe it's about smaller bikes not being able to handle speed changes without shifting. Maybe it's viewed as being a safety issue (newer riders)? If you are just riding around town or back road rides for exercise, it's not so useful. If you are touring - particularly high speed "A road"/interstate riding, being able to relax the throttle hand/arm becomes more important. This feels like something moto-companies could design in without it being a cost or safety issue.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

​@@unclealzbbq2185 so you made you bike run worse, pollute more, and overheat instead of getting a throttle lock? No more classic bikes for you. Or lawn mowers.

[@ioandragulescu6063]

@8:55 MCCruise makes a cruise control system for the 800 stroms (RE/DE) . Maybe it fits this one too and then you can really pimp it :)

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

I think the SFF is spring in one leg and damping in the other. Not compression in one and rebound in the other. It’s a cost and weight saving strategy.

[@masongalbraith]

nice Tissot yammie! can we get a watch collection video?

[@williamjones7607]

Can you list the aftermarket parts and where you get them from in a follow up video along with why you went with those parts, please?

[@logcru]

I don’t really see many people trying to make a sport Turing bike out of this bike, I’m no genius but I feel like people are more likely to try as hard as they can to make it more super sporty. Yes Ik the appeal is that it’s a (less super sport) sport bike, but we all love to chase that performance

[@Athenasaerina]

Well especially when the Suzuki line up still has a 1000cc sport touring bike same ergos more power fully adjustable suspension and has hard cases and cruise control and only weighs another 50lbs

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

I would have liked further discussion of "air dispersion".

[@nwkking291]

The bike is hard as hell!!!! What you talking about Mr Noob!!!!!

[@Verdad2024]

Can you vlog the process when you change the exhaust?

[@Frank_Torre]

Looks good, but I think the RS660 is a better buy. Especially since alot of dealers are selling them below MSRP.

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

I’d be interested in an RS660 if the closest dealer wasn’t a 4 hour drive away… with their spotty reliability I would want access to a dealer for warranty work…

[@Frank_Torre]

@@sleeper.simulant7327 I had a RSV4 Factory and never had a issue with reliability. But yeah having to go that far for a dealership is unrealistic. Still I've yet to see a RS660 or Tuono 660 go for MSRP at my dealership.

[@DocHoliday-to6kp]

I'm fine with every inch I can get Brake Light CLOSER to drivers eyes behind me. 😁 Geez I thought it was MT 07 or nothing.. Not so sure any more. Love that display and the looks of the Bike

[@ivannikitins813]

Yesterday, I took a chance on a bike. Standing at 186 cm and weighing 105 kg, This thing has instantly drawn attention to its aesthetics and advanced technology. Around the city, cruising at approximately 50 MPH or 70 KMph, this bike performs like a beast, with ample torque and power. However, if you're on the heavier side, like me, and you plan to venture beyond urban limits to enjoy some open road, it's a different story. At higher speeds, it feels unstable, reminiscent of a FIAT PUNTO struggling past 130 KMH. I found myself feeling quite uneasy when attempting to overtake at 150 kmh; it was a risky maneuver, to say the least. Also current performance packs like removing ECU swapping the Intake filters to AKRA & exhaust will give you 8-10HPs, which is a damn joke for 3.2k investments. Its definitely a good city bike but don't expect a lot . I wish they release either performance pack or the same platform but with at least same specs as YZF6R has, that would be a killer.

[@sobaninayat4951]

Could you do a full comparison of the GSX-8R vs. other middleweight bikes, like the R7, CBR650R, Daytona 660 and RS660 ?

[@TsugaC]

I second that motion, Yammie.

[@lostpockets2227]

You can't even buy a cbr650r in North America

[@ragerider6283]

I really like this bike. Although the tail light assembly is hideous. It also literally weighs more than a kilo! The rear light & indicators are different in Europe & look better imo but a tail tidy is a must. I personally would also powder coat those wheels high gloss black. I'd get new rearsets, Suzuki (Gilles) levers & the Suzuki taller screen too. It has to have the full Akrapovic system as well for sure!

[@mohammadyassin1050]

Is there any modifications on the configuration since it's all electric What would be the best exhaust for it.

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

Its also the same taillight on the 3rd gen sv650

[@puterasyazwan6245]

Can it install an aftermarket clip on that is more lowered? If so isnt it gonna look weird/exposed the bolt on the triple clamp area?

[@richardsewell8657]

Yeah they really messed up the bike with those bars imo. Who wants the bars around your fucking neck lol

[@MsDemokrit]

Hey Yammie! How is it going for newbie riders?

[@nelocinco3836]

Thanks for the comments Yam, bet Suzuki will consider features like the missing cruise control to be added in its next gen, as well as adjusting the grey tones like its subframe for all parts other than the existing blacks & the yellows, cheers! 🎉

[@vladdesten1195]

wdym by saaying is hard to start from a stop light with a motorbike, if you want you can red line and dump the clutch it works every time

[@cbr600rrturbo]

My bike has cruise control, dont use it or want it

[@Loopyengineeringco]

I love that front mudguard triangle on the Gixxerator. So frickin cool. Also I don't get why oem's don't design a few extra bolt holes to that fin abomination so you could saw off 75% of it and remount under the tail, like a built-in tail tidy. They know it's gonna be happening anyway 🤣

[@GranPaMark]

[@thagingerninjer5391]

[@Cthooligan]

I'd take heated grips over cruise control any day of the week. But honestly, both should be standard these days

[@derekmuha9969]

timeout, what entry level cfmoto has cruise control?

[@ChamarSenja]

Looks like SV's tail lamp!!

[@user-pi6ro7ye5q]

A decent bike, but it’s obviously built to a price. The funniest part being that after you throw all of the goodies at it, it still won’t be as good as a stock Aprilia RS 660, and total cost will be roughly the same.

[@turkioo]

would you recommend this or the 2024 gsxr750

[@mikeamphlett7913]

To me the bike is plenty powerful, why spend thousands for 10 ,more hp. Love your bike for what it is.

[@kenbowlus2995]

If you're already going to have the wheels off to put on new tires (tyres), have the wheels powder coated black, and get some black anodized rear-sets (and passenger pegs if you keep them - that pillion seat looks pretty useless). After that, the different hues of the engine cases and the sub-frame will look a lot less busy and confused.

[@micklo74]

So yammie takes a hot steaming dump on the gsx8s but add lower fairings and adjust the resets replace the S with a R and now it’s an awesome bike …… huh

[@2dogs2wheels]

I would say if you want a less linear experience then yes. I rode both the SV and this bike back to back. Preferred the SV engine.

[@MrTraildust]

The reason I would consider switching would be the comfort of a fully fared bike for longer travel, and a little more power, but still sporty handling. I don’t need a super bike or want one maybe just a more long distance daily. I have 7000 miles on my SV 650 and I do love that bike.

[@YacolJ]

We're moving backwards in time, going to a parallel twin.

[@2dogs2wheels]

@@MrTraildust No issues with that man. Just my anecdotal experience. Especially because the SV has such a good aftermarket that all of those things (minus power of course) are not very expensive to do on the bike compared to getting into a new bike. But hey N+1 is always good in my eyes if you can manage it.
