When I bought my GT (black like yours) last year, both the regular and 'touring' screen were included. The touring screen is quite good. Also, I see you have the shift lights enabled. I would suggest raising the thresholds on them so you aren't lighting up at 4500 RPM. The kind of hidden, but excellent feature (in my mind) is having the display switch automatically between night and day modes by using a photosensor in the dash.

I took my first long trip on my 2022 GSX s1000 Gt +. 15 hours of riding in 2 days this past weekend. This was my first bike of the 5 I've owned with an actual windscreen. I always wear quality foam ear plugs for wind noise regardless so I thought I was safe. As the trip went on I could certainly hear and feel strong buffeting at 60mph and above right up inside the bottom of my helmet. I noticed if I shrugged my shoulders up the noise went away, but I couldn't ride like that long. I didn't think I was doing any damage to my ears at all because I had earplugs in. Boy was I wrong. Upon further research it seems you're better off not wearing earplugs if you're dealing with buffeting and turbulent air. The earplugs create a compressed pocket of air against your eardrum that is super sensitive to any turbulent vibrations in your head and neck. By time I got home my ears were ringing so bad I couldn't sleep. 3 days later I'm still ringing. It's worse in the mornings but gets better throughout the day. Hoping it subsides some over time. Anyways, lesson learned. I am seriously considering giving up riding or at least selling off this bike and go back to a naked bike or cruiser. I'd rather not spend time doing R&D trying to figure out how to stop the turbulence, switching screens, trying out gimmicky products and some downright goofy looking accessories. I treasure my hearing and I fear I've done some permanent damage unknowingly as I was wearing plugs.

Nah man, that can't be called a motorbike... but a damn airplane haha! I have had a Suzuki Katana 1000, until one month ago. Same engine and same chassi. What you wife said about speeding tickets, was completely right for me haha. I got a few after a year and I wanted to go back to a kind of "chill retro cruiser". So I have gotten a Bonneville T120. Reminds me of my old Sportster Roadster 1200. Comfortable, slow and strong. Great in nothing, but good in everything. However, listening to you has given me the enthusiam of having a great new bike. I guess you already know it, but your new bike is awesome. And the engine is pretty old (from the K6 Gsxr i think) which means pretty tested and reliable as hell. Suzuki is a great manufacturer. Plus, GT stands for travelling comfortable, far and, if you want, fast. At least that was the original meaning in the 80's in Europe. You sound nice and humble. I really wish you enjoy that bike for so many kilometers (or miles). Best regards from Spain!

Thanks for the feedback! If you let the engine RPM get too low while driving, that will cause "engine lugging" and you should shift to a lower gear. I would typically stay in whatever gear keeps the RPM over 3,000. If RPM falls below 3,000 shift to a lower gear.

Nah man, that can't be called a motorbike... but a damn airplane haha! I have had a Suzuki Katana 1000, until one month ago. Same engine and same chassi. What you wife said about speeding tickets, was completely right for me haha. I got a few after a year and I wanted to go back to a kind of "chill retro cruiser". So I have gotten a Bonneville T120. Reminds me of my old Sportster Roadster 1200. Comfortable, slow and strong. Great in nothing, but good in everything. However, listening to you has given me the enthusiam of having a great new bike. I guess you already know it, but your new bike is awesome. And the engine is pretty old (from the K6 Gsxr i think) which means pretty tested and reliable as hell. Suzuki is a great manufacturer. Plus, GT stands for travelling comfortable, far and, if you want, fast. At least that was the original meaning in the 80's in Europe. You sound nice and humble. I really wish you enjoy that bike for so many kilometers (or miles). Best regards from Spain!
Thanks so much for the kind comment all the way from Spain! It is definitely nice to have the performance AND relative comfort of a GT. The Bonneville is such an amazing looking bike. That might need to be my next choice if I don't calm down on this Suzuki 😇
Great video, thanks, was wondering if you first did any test rides on the Tiger before going for the Suzuki as i am currently between these two bikes ( gsxs1000gt or Tiger 900 Gt 2024). (Anyone with experience on these two bikes is welcome to throw some words or opinions) Thanx again for the nice video!
I never did test the Tiger. Now I want one again 😝 Thanks, I appreciate your kind comment.
Because its awesome?
Just found ur channel.Awesome video! Thank you. You're spot on abt the throttle having no in between! Can you please shed light on the gear to speed relation for this bike? I see you accelerating to 60mph in 3rd! Or to 40mph in 4th. How do you know that you're in the right gear? I get this clunky sound at high gear low speeds on my 2019 Vulcan 650s. Thanks again!!
Thanks for the feedback! If you let the engine RPM get too low while driving, that will cause "engine lugging" and you should shift to a lower gear. I would typically stay in whatever gear keeps the RPM over 3,000. If RPM falls below 3,000 shift to a lower gear.
first damn change to my 07. its a deluxe turn signal set.
