I do not care if that engine is 100 years old, it is one of the best engines ever designed and still better than almost any other inline 4 made.

[@jeffestrada6857]

Adventure bikes are NOT sport tourers. Thank you Suzuki and Kawasaki for establishing yourselves as true & proper sport touring motorcycles 👍

[@F4izzle]

The K5 GSXR1000 has one of the best engines ever made. So it’s for an amazing foundation to start. New doesn’t always mean better.

[@christians131]

I’d be so bummed if the sport touring market died out. This is one of my favorite categories of bikes

[@cocosloan3748]

Suzuki engine ? Say no more - Buy it and see what strong , reliable engine is all about ! And the quality on Suzuki products is always there ...

[@sarahlivingstone8367]

I'm not in the market for a new bike atm but I am a Suzuki fan and so pleased this bike is getting great reviews.

[@hornet224]

Michael Neeves is the most trusted bike tester/reviewer in cycling. Tells it straight up. The bike styling looks like a sport version of the FJR Gen II to me. That is why I like it.

Drinking game: 1 shot every time Neevesy says 'really'.

[@jcswheneveraussieoff-roadi4806]

I used to have major issues with my K5 1000. The tires kept wearing out all the time. I sold her recently. Just ordered the new gsxs 1000 gt.

[@josevi5835]

Even though I have not tried it, this bike seems to me that it is going to be a real blast. Beautifully designed, quality built, technology, incredible performance and value for money.

[@skts2610]

Like so many other viewers, we’ve all been waiting for MCN to test this bike.

I thought I was looking at a Tracer 9 or a Ninja for my next bike but this Suzuki has really put the cat amongst the pigeons! I really like it a lot, (but not the blue wheels!)

[@mikejacklyn1221]

You are in my opinion the best reviewer on KZbin, honest to the point with no fluff, brilliant! I'm looking at moving from the adventure world (for touring) to this. Wish it had a centerstand for chain maintenance but that probably won't stop me, cheers!

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

its a gem of bike that don't come along that often as good as this.

[@ipohboy]

Very happy for Suzuki to have come back with this beauty.

[@PandaStencils]

Let's go! More sporty sport-touring motorcycles with hard OEM luggage! The Ninja 1000SX has been pretty much perfection for how I use it, but it has not had any recent competition from other manufacturers. I am glad to see Suzuki introduce this bike and keep things moving!

[@Sanemancured]

Neevesy you hit the spot yet again. I’ve been riding over 50 years which makes me an old fella I know. Sports Tourers are my first choice and my 6 year old R1200RS is holding up well including Cadwell and Croft this year. You talk so much sense. Upper body positioning on the road, relaxed riding technique allowing the bike to do what it does best without interference etc. I like the Suzuki and mark it down as a possible replacement for the RS (waiting to see the review of the NT1100). But another part of me would like to put 100,000 on the Beemer. Nice one!

[@Matt-hm9uo]

Owned the F, loved it for the engine and handling, turn in was quick but not flighty. Will be interesting to see how the GT handles. Looks are miles better than the F. Currently have an ADV bike and would love to try this one. Really odd that Suzuki have not put on the remote preload adjuster as it should be mandatory on a tourer. I've ridden the 2021 Z1000SX (Ninja) and it's now a truly great bike, but the Suzuki has it for the engine, and I found the ride better too. The seat on the Kawasaki is a bit of a plank (maybe better now ?). Look forward to reading/seeing the back-to-back review of the Z vs GSX. Great video as always.

[@gkbike7002]

I have the 2021 GSXS 1000 and that K5 is magnificent.

[@xnihilo1044]

Great bike!
