Hi and thank you for a fun presentation of the bike.About the screen I put some distans strays under the frontmounts and got a little bit sharper angle on the screen and I think it reduced the noise.I allso change the sadel the comfort modell Morover i think its a great bike to handle and the engine is really good .

I'm going to test ride a SUZUKI GSXS1000GT next week, I haven't had a bike for about 15 years I use to ride a SUZUKI GSXR 750 I'm 62 now and I love the look of this bike , I've watched loads of tutorials and haven't heard any real bad things about her ,she looks so good in the blue like yours I am Absolutely BRICKING IT just thinking about taking her out , I ant had something so hot and thumbing between my legs for such a long time 😢 , thanks for the rant and keep her upright Take care

Honestly I reckon you will love it….. it’s very tame until you want it not to be, very user friendly…… good luck 🤞🏼👍🏼

my GT cruise control has been like that since i first got the bike, ODO 14k km now, the cruise control behaves exactly like yours from time to time. keep flashing and wont let you turn on. Only work around is turn off and on the bike to reset.

Dark screen looks great !

my GT cruise does the same exact thing.. no reason for it. Have to stop, switch off the bike, back on and cruise always works again.. but yea if it does not work while your riding, mine has NEVER started working again. The ONLY issue I have with my bike, other than 6th gear being too damn short....thanks for the video.

I'm looking at getting a new Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+ in the future. Had a look at one in my local dealer the other week when I was getting my SV650 serviced. I plan to downsize and move house, and the new house will have a garage and a bit more room. I don't plan on selling the SV, the replacement is coming out soon, and is going to use a parallel twin, but will be round about 800cc, so the end of an era. The SV650 is a cracking bike, they've been making them since 1999, so they're a bit of a classic already; it's definitely a keeper. I got COVID-19 the other week, after I managed to dodge it for the best part of three years. Looks like the cases are going up, I think I got it in the supermarket on a Friday, felt rough by the Sunday. Come Monday, I felt knackered, by Tuesday I ached all over, which lasted for about three days. Still feeling it after three weeks. Good job I had all the jabs, I would hate to face it without being inoculated, because it's definitely not fun!

​@@bikemaddan9311 I was looking at the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX, but I think the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT has a better all round package. The 3-year warranty (UK), a dash that can display maps, which comes in handy on a tourer, a great quick shifter, and, of course, that K5 derived super bike engine. Hopefully, Suzuki will have fixed the problems you’re having by the time I get one, as I'm not in a rush. I think the old SV650's will hold their price in the future. It's one of the reasons I'm keeping mine, the other being it's so much fun to ride, it sounds fantastic as well, with an end-can on. But, a naked motorbike is not the best bike for touring, or having a blast on the motorway, especially during in a British winter. I also prefer an inline-four engine for riding at high speed, I love that howl when you open it up!

R & G protectors are usually very good.

Fairings are not the "frame" of the bike though if think about it sliders are there to keep the metal frame of the bike from get bent to bits in the crash if you really want to protect your bike get a stunt kit cause fairings always get the end of the stick in a crash i think they design them like that so you have to buy new fairings 🤔😤

@@bikemaddan9311 Ok thanks. I'm 6 foot and the standard screen seems to send the air blast straight to the underneath of my lid, Making the noise very loud, it's better if I take the screen off. Hearing the touring screen from Suzuki is no better. If anyone out there has a solution it would be great to hear about it. Sure you've tried this but my cruise control did what yours is doing once, I pulled over, switched the bike off then back on again switched the cruise control on before moving and it has worked fine ever since.
