Hello. Do you have any links to the mirrors and the bungs to cover the original mirror holes? Were the mirrors easy to fit? I thought the thread pattern of the Suzuki handlebars are different to standard.

@CraftyMrRyan Hi, thanks for your comments. I got most of the accessories from an online company called Evotech Performance and the bar end mirrors from eBay seller 'ncooksecurity' / MotorbikeAlarm.

Worst mistake Suzuki has made, aside from not updating properly the bikes in years... 1- Heavy, cmon, you have MT07, you're telling me you could not shed 10-20 kilos? 2- Soft suspension poor suspension ( SV650 races better ). 3- Boring engine, same as every one else in the market ( they could have upgraded the V-Twin to 800cc ). 4- Clunky gearbox, pretty harsh Quickshifter. Overall soft suspension, soft brakes ( woody ) and pretty pretty bad quality feeling, i bet it will rust easly.

Thanks for your comments. I got the crash protection from an online company called Evotech Performance. They do quite a few other accessories as well for the GSX 8S.
That looks beautiful 😊
what is the top speed ? Thanks
Hi, thanks for your comments. I managed to get 64mph (102 kilometres per hour), but that was down a hill. Normally, with a headwind, it's about 60 maximum, and that's really reving it and pushing it a bit, though.
@@lost-againgood to know, thinking of getting one on a few months. I’ve seen a little confusion on the horse power on this bike. Do you know if the newer model (2023) is actually 14.9 hp or 10. Unfortunately there’s not a tonne of coverage on this bike so I really appreciate you replying to my comment :) thanks dude
@curtisnewell253 yeah try and go for the latest model the one with the radiator. That does have more hp than the original model and is a bit faster. Takes a little while to fully run and I did notice a difference in available speed after about 1000 miles.
@@lost-againok cool thank you, great to here from someone who actually has/had one. Appreciate the insight !
It's a really nice bike, especially to practice, and gain some experience if you are eventually going for your full UK bike licence.
Looks amazing 😊
It's such a beautiful, calm place.
