How does this compares to your Tracer 9 GT btw?

In my 55 years of riding and racing I have been impressed with all my Suzuki's, can't say that for my Honda's, Yamaha's, or Kawasakis. Just me I guess.

I agree. I have over 45 years of riding experience and I have owned and ridden bikes from all 4 Japanese brands. I have to say that all the Yamaha's were very good mechanically apart from 1 with a clutch problem. The Kawasaki had overheating problems in the Aussie summer. Of the 4 Honda's only one (a VFR1200F) was trouble-free. The others all had problems with cam chain tensioners, suspension issues and one of them would overheat in city stop-start traffic very quickly. Believe me everything was done to try and fix this problem but it still did it. The Suzuki's (Bandit's and V Strom's) have all been excellent, reliability-wise and I've put more kilometres up on each of them compared to any of the others. Sorry it's just the truth from my ownership experiences and perspective.

Hi Gary..no one will judge you for having a great riding experience. LOL! We're probably close in age. Me and my brother raced Honda motocross as kids but we always liked the yellow RMs. We believed them to be more "cool". IMO, I think most JDM bikes are solid, the ride notwithstanding. Cheers from Canuckistan!Our fearless leader, Comrade trudeau greets you.

Love the real-world reviews. This bike just made it to my KZread based shortlist.

Got my motorcycle learner's permit in 1973. I have owned 17 motorcycles a few each of Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki sport bikes, a Wide Glide, 3 BMW GS. I bought a 1975 Kawasaki KZ 900 brand new when I was 18. Currently an R1250GS Rallye, with an R1300GS Trophy on order. Beemers are on a whole different plain. It's the whole gestalt of the bike's aura. I ride crisp, but sane. Everywhere people compliment my bike. Men, women, and children stop to chat. I'm 67 with grey hair, so it's not me. It's the bike. Lol.

Hey Dan, great review. How would you compare the ride comfort compared to the Tracer 9 GT/GT+ Thank you

You make a few great points. Less expensive than a BMW yet still plenty of power. When did 150bhp become not enough? Very tractable easy to ride. Same price as the Tracer 9 GT+ but lacking the electronic suite. Active cruise control is a game changer for sure and despite it being an incredible riding machine, Suzuki may have lost sales to Yamaha or even BMW with this omission. Perhaps next year it will be included even as standard. Wonderful review. Cheers!

Nice review Dan. See if you can borrow one for the weekend in the spring/summer and give us a two day tour review. What Weiss jacket is that?

I guess all manufacturers now make products based on segments and where they can compete, but I wonder whether one bike in between the GT and GX, and a good £1,500 cheaper (or whack auto ride height lowering on it), might appeal to a wider range of riders. Or do bikers insist on a “proper” sports tourer or a not really adv adventure bike and must have one or the other? It’s an attractive bike for sure, and I’m glad to see Suzuki coming out with so many great bikes after a good few lean years.

I hope the new design for the Gsx-R 1000 borrows something from the headlights here, it looks absolutely sharp.

What area is that please? I’ve been trying to recognise it. Is it Kent somewhere? (EDIT : Just seen it’s Wokingham.)

Ok Dan, the question most of us want answered… How would you compare it to the Tracer? I like the lighter weight of the Tracer. In your 2 videos I like the sound of the Yamaha better. I know the Suzuki had very few miles and the roads weren’t great so you were taking it easy but how would you compare the engines. Does the low end power feel fairly similar? It would be nice if they offered a cheaper version without the electronic suspension.

Very nice bike.

I reckon it would be a great laugh on track.

I'm sure that pick up truck driver got the feeling you were following him 😅. About the power and weight : I don't ride motorcycles, I am a car enthusiast but equally intrigued by the motorcycle world. I drive a 140hp 1385kg Mini Countryman Cooper 1.5 Turbo and manage 200kmh straight and very decent handling on tight roads. Its best feature is its all round capabilities. A 150hp 230kg all road bike seems like a super machine compared to this. Especially with the electric damping settings and all, it looks like a great performing vehicle. I always am baffled when some riders complain about hp and weight, even with half of the hp and half more weight these machines would perform just fine. It's ever so important however to keep the balance and inertia of a vehicle right. A vehicle should be heavy enough to keep its composure when being resisted by wind, friction or discrepancies while riding. Too light and it will dance and bounce around. Too powerful and the rider becomes a passenger. 150hp for a 230kg bike is really already quite exceptional. And €15.000 for a bike is actually expensive. These figures, latest years, have become so common, people and especially younger people, are really underestimating what they actually stand for. Thx for the great review, greetings from a car enthusiast. I am a subscriber because I want to get my motorcycle license and a nice motorbike when I retire. As of now, my preference is the Goldwing bagger.

All of them are just... dare i say... perfect. Subtle when you want it to be. An absolute beast if you rip it. One thing i found was that many complain of the brakes on these bikes... i personally did not find this issue. They are just fine... small bit of takeup then a nice fast progressive braking with plenty of stopping power. Maybe compared to a top end race bike the brakes arent perfect, but compared to anything else... they are just fine if not great.

106 Nm of torque. After writing about the rocket 3 and Goldwing today for the Triumph club magazine it sounds so peanutty… but it isn’t. Although it could be more. 170Nm for the six cylinder Goldwing and 221Nm for the three cylinder Rocket3. Can’t compare the three though. When it comes to tourers and Suzuki I’d rather have the GT. just feels more secure with a pillion and luggage. Centre of gravity is much lower. Although… a low seat Tiger 900 is pretty ok with a pillion rider. Must give quick shift to Suzuki. Looovely system.

It's why the testers and you noted the ABS being too keen, it's not the ABS it's the rubbish wooden tyres - once I put on aftermarket tyres the ABS did what it was supposed to do [likewise the TCS]. I had a Niken before and that had crap OEM tyres and would activate the ABS at the merest hint of moisture on the road.
