I did 4000 miles on my GSX650F sport touring bike in 3 months haha. I want one of these. I'm well aware how well Suzuki makes a comfortable and fun machine. Always so smooth with a great mid band surge. All day comfort and no gimmicks and buttons littering the machine. The pillion seat, however would be an issue. Can't seem to keep my lady off the back of the GSX650F 😅😉. Either way, Suzuki builds some of the best REAL WORLD machines. The world isn't a track and you're rarely actually at redline. They know that, and they focus on that.

1,000 CC is the way to go ;) A lot of people turn their noses up at Suzuki, but they have clearly decided to go for the value end of the market, and I quite like them. Nearly got the F version instead of my Z1000SX, but what tipped my hand was the pillion seat and comfort, as I wanted to take my daughter and my dad riding. Great review, buddy!

Good video, ER. Can't bring myself to liking the headlight setup (the Yam MT's glass blob headlight springs to mind) but not a bad looking bike otherwise. I was down Bridge yesterday to check out the new machines and indulge in a Cafe 53 sausage and onion baguette and a coffee, yummeee.

Good info on the bike. I'm interested because as a Kawa Z70S owner I'd like to upgrade to something that has good frame, suspension, brakes and especially seat ergonomics. The engine is honestly just a plus. I did test a Katana as they didn't have this available for a test ride but I didn't like the seat. I think I'm one of the few who likes the front because it has a sort of 80's-90's mecha feel to it. I prefer it much more to the alien bug robot look of Yamaha MT's.

4:50 Yeah I wasn't on the market for a 1000 either, thinking that's it's too fast to be usable on the street and it didn't make any sense. Then I tried a GSX-S 750 and the 1000 back to back. My conclusion was that both were more than fast enough to get me into trouble but everything on the 1000 felt nicer. Handling is much better and suspensions are adjustable, it's easier to maneuver and I felt more comfortable on the 1000 in terms of ergonomics. So yeah, 1000cc and 150bhp is stupid for the road but I don't need to rev the crap out of it to feel the engine come alive. At 4000 rpm it makes a bunch of torque and the growl coming the intake is very pleasing to my ears. An excellent motorcycle which completely changed my mind on 1000cc motorcycles, hence why I now own a 2015 model.

I like your take on this bike..I'm no expert at all, but I downgraded from a 1999 CB 1300, I bought a new CB650R which is great...but I miss the 'unusable power' that a litre bike offers, ha ha. Really Fancy the S1000....being a short guy, it's almost the same seat height at 810mm as the CB650R...price is amazing for what you get. The quickshifter/blipper included is a deal breaker for me...they just transform any bike. I ride in the Philippines, I'm still waiting to even see this bike in the flesh..such is the downside of living so far from home...where you live in the UK. Love your videos, thanks a lot. Sadly, we don't the lovely roads you enjoy either, however...a decent power bike is great to ride at any speed, I think.

What about ABS, the face it has no IMU, so no cornering assistance. Also, the dash displays a very important feature which is the 3 level rider modes which offer a very different response to the throttle and C would be for wet roads, B is for normal road use, and A is very sporty feel with even more top end pull. The induction roar is also a good feature wichbis a result of a modified airbox from the gen 1 model. Really good review though from a basic rider perspective. 19:39
