Love how this bike is still relevant 5 years after launch and I love seeing new fresh videos on them. I think deep down everyone is a Gixxer lover.

Gixxers always have been and hopefully always will be the ultimate hooligans bike . Guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you ride

Love that bike. Typical Suzuki - so easy on the eye beautiful to look at, raw power a real riders machine with reliability other manufacturers dream of. Top it all off the Suzuki Triton blue looks sensational 👍👍👍👍 I currently own the 2020 Suzuki Katana coming off three Hayabusa’s from years gone by and ALL of them made/make me smile 😊

The giggle sums up the review perfectly. My K5 still has that effect every time I ride.

I feel the same with these high power machines on the road but they are fun when you have a go and I completely get it 😆 I just like comfort 😂

I owe a gixxer thou for two years now, and it isn’t for the road but you can make it absolutely docile on the road. Traction control level 7 or 8 in the rain mode is perfect for the road, and it’s my daily commuter to work in those settings. It won’t pull you back if you give it beans at that setting, in bumper to bumper traffic in Florida weather here it doesn’t get hot, and its as comfortable as the s1000rr in the sport bike category. Always reliable, built like a tank, and with a yoshimura slip on, it can easily satisfy your occasional speed demons. God tier sport bike.

Had my Gixer 1000 for 6yrs. Absolutely loved everything about it.

Had to check out your video after you commented on mine. Your video quality is amazing dude, keep up the great work!

Thank you Dan, fun and informative as always. "Only 200 bhp" lol 🏍

Only just stumbled accross your channel now hooked,great content pal 👌👍

Had one, was awesome yet so uncomfortable, changed for the gsx1000s and loving life on that a daily gem

Love your videos. Personally i think most bikes are too much for the street. After 30 years of only riding on the street, i recently i gave up the street to focus on the track. No looking back. The street is just too dangerous these days, with distracted drivers. The track is the natural habitat for these bikes...

I just liked and subscribed to your channel. Great video!! 👍 Thank you for reviewing my bike, I have a 21 GSXR1000R. I like to see other people's opinions of it. I bought it because of the strong low 💪 to midrange pull gixxers have. I took a 100 lb friend, ( 45 kg ) for a spirited ride on the Garden State Parkway cruising between 90 and 120 mph in 6th gear and it pulled strong, never had to downshift and I didn't really notice any drag from her weight. That is why 1000cc bikes are necessary for the road. Thanks and keep up the great content!

Get a go on the 2005,,6 gsxr no electronic stuff and plenty of low down torque,,no scrolling through anything 160 BHP,, like the quick shifter blipper ,,if I had the money I'd like one being a Suzuki man ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland flat bars on mine great,, and 56 year old 😁😁😁

Great video as always..love the gsxr1000r!! One hell of a machine ..I have a gsxr750, for me that's plenty for these roads..I had liter bikes ,just too much n unnecessary.. I love going full throttle on the 750, soooo fun and it's SOOO LIGHT. greetings from Florida,USA

Well, I loved this video, top job again Dan. Made me chuckle.

Love watching Dan's reviews, one of the best in the uk

Love the way you do the videos And reviews on the motorbikes one of my favourite channels to watch. I've decided am going to save for a motorbike for my 40th birthday and it's got to be the triumph trident because it's a beautiful looking bike and the review you done on it was amazing.

Absolutely brilliant video! Had me in stitches at some of your comments.

Your very right Dan. In these modern days with police speed traps so sophisticated your licence is at risk or even worse. Don't get me wrong tho ! I love sports bike's. In the late 90's to 2008 I would finish my work shift at 2:30am on a Saturday morning and go and thrash (try to) my Blade or R1 around North Wales until dawn and then go home. Up at 4am on Sunday morning and do it all over again. Evo Triangle and more ! Bought a 2016 Gixer tho in 2020 and sold it 4 months later after starting to use its power and hitting crazy speeds again. Almost having as much fun on my current Hornet 600 until I find a nice relaxed 1000cc bike that makes you ride a bit slower !

Ha ha what funny video Dan. I am no sports bike guy but man that thing looked a lot of fun. Would love to get it on track but to much for the roads. Love it though! 🤣

great video, and well impressed with the sound.

Awesome fun video man. Nice one 👍

Loved my 2001 GSXR1000 fresh from the dealer. Took it to the track and realized that I didn’t and couldn’t use it properly. I traded it in for a 2003 GSXR600 and what a great track bike that was! Gixxers are flat out awesome.

My first 1000cc bike was k4 gsxr. Loved that bike - so fast!! Can’t imagine what a new ones like with 40 more horses 🐴 !

I have the 2017 1000R and I agree with you. It's not comfortable on slower roads. It gets better after you flash it. Get rid of that deceleration fuel cut-off. I use mine mostly on trackdays and it's amazing.

I completely get what your saying Dan but Christ what a machine i love it !! will never have one but would love too and yes for sure half that many horses are perfectly fine for road use . Great review I can tell ya had a whole hell of a lot of fun great watch 😊👌

Nice review Dan, love the induction roar of the GSXR, and let's be honest modern 1000cc bikes are all about making a decent base for race prepping, they are not really aimed at the road rider any more, and tbh, any bike over 600cc will get you into trouble pretty damn quick in the wrong hands or situation, and the throttle does go both ways, so you don't always have to be 'on it' to enjoy a 1000cc, the mid-range grunt you get from a 1000cc, for a spot of overtaking, when you want, is nice, but in the UK where the roads are full of potholes and muppets who can't drive and don't see bikes, even when we have lights on, so perhaps thats why adventure bikes have taken over from Sports bikes, probably just as much fun, without having to ride like a TT racer. I've ridden Sports bikes pretty much ever since 1998, after a bit of a gap, and owned all sorts including R6's, 750's, SP1's FireBlades, and 2 GSXR thou's both K5 models and I would buy another K5/K6 tomorrow, in preference to a new 1000cc sports bike, IMHO the K5/K6 was the pinnacle of the GSXR1000 line, quick enough for the road, even with "only" 165bhp 😉 comfortable for a long ride 200-300 miles + in a day, easily, I had mine set-up professionally which made a massive difference to how the bike felt down the twisties, decent set of Pirelli's it was easily as quick even in my hands (and I'm not Peter Hickman, by any means) as newer i:e more powerful bikes down the back roads and the mid-range grunt was just incredible for a spot of overtaking. And like you say the 🔔-ends at bike meets that say a 200bhp Super bike isn't powerful enough are talking out of their backside and tbh, I could pretty much guarantee if you met one down a twisty road you could best him on my old K5 thou, with "only" 165bhp 😂

Great video. I was wondering if you could share your GoPro settings, ' cause I'm struggling for some time now to get the right settings in order to have good image quality and a fair amount of filming time. Without having to do much work afterwards by 'cutting and pasting' all the individual frames to one. Thanks.

Hopefully I can get the naked ver of this bike next year, GSX-S1000... it looks great!

Can see why some people love em, must be a proper blast to ride .... but my somewhat abused spine and neck just can't do the ergonomics of sports bikes for more than a few miles so I stick to machines with a more upright riding position.

Loved your video Dan 👍

Your funny English giggle whe n you throttle tells me all I need to know about the acceleration on this bike. ☺️👍🏻😂👍🏻

They're great bikes. I've owned a modern gsxr-1000. It was fun while it lasted. I ended up selling it and buying my childhood dream bike. A 94 FZR-1000. Even being almost 30 years old the bike still has plenty of power. More than any reasonable person needs for road use.

Great video!!!

Stunning bike mate

Loved my 2019 gixxer but after a few points deductions and a few close calls with Law I had to trade it in, always felt I could never get the most out of it and then when you did open it up your constantly looking for the police LOL. Cracking bike , still miss it.

Excellent stuff bro

I finally managed to buy a GSXR 1000 K3 a few years back. It was very light and the power to weight ratio was unbelievable. I think it weighs around 166 kg and had around 160 hp. It was surprisingly not too scary. On song it was incredible. Too much for the road? Well yes but the grin factor was immense. Sadly my then 62 year old body couldn't cope. Would I have another? Absolutely despite the pain. I think the GSXR is legendary.

I know it's not the best superbike on the market but it's still better than I am. It's also roomier for my 6'3" frame and I love the more old school looks. The dustbin on the side would have to go though.

Hi Dan, could you tell me what jacket you are wearing in this video? Thanks.

Got the exact same bike. I love it to bits. Price/quality/fun ratio was the best in the 1000cc sportbike class. Before they kicked it out of the EU that is... :/

my dream bike is between the fireblade triple R, or the S1000 rr....but if i could get the GSXR1000, id get the nardo grey with the blue wheels.....love that colour combo.

Week ago I done ride to Nurburging (whole day on track) and few places round Germany. Most comfortable superbike on the road.

So glad I went with the aprilia RS-660 . So damn comfortable and fun

These kinds of bikes are comfortable only at very illegal speed 120km/hr+. I own a GSX-R750 and a CBR650R. I much prefer the Honda. It's all the sport bike you need and you can actually use most of its potential on the street while having just as much or more fun.

Great video as always Dan. If I may ask, what jacket are you wearing in this video?

I have old, bulletproof K7 1000 :D Its f*king insane :D you cannot use all the HP but its still a fun and comfortable sportbike :)

I think it is more bike than most people will use on the road so you could just get something cheaper, but I live in Texas and the highways are an ideal stomping ground for a 1000 so I’m probably still going to get my first liter bike finally

Awesome Dan 💗💐

Could you, by any chance, compare the position on the suzy with a cbr 600 rr Last model? Because this is where i come from...I am thinking about a change, and i am looking for a more racing and forward position... Anybody can help?

Well my Aprilia RS 125 to much for the road ...we have 120km/h speed limit and a very active police nowdays, thanks for a great video!

Lovely bike and superb review. I have my eyes on a GSXR1000r at the moment...

"I'm not going to be going to crazy on this video" Proceeds to laugh like a lunatic. Love it man, thanks

I have the previous model. I raised the clip-ons and lowered the pegs, by an inch both. It’s reasonably comfortable and I prefer having a fairing and leaning forward, in contrast to naked bikes. It’s so massively capable and refined that it’s actually very easy to ride in any condition. On the road I’m usually under 8500 RPM. It takes discipline and finesse but is an incredible bike to own.

I wanted that exact color scheme. I could on find the black and red one! Beautiful bike

What you think setting one for the track racing

Cool, how do you compare it to the gsx s-1000 - only 150hp but torque should hit earlier. Cheers

I dont know why suzuki decided not to have the indicators integrated in the mirrors and tail on this new model. I own a 2016 750 (yes the one with the ugly headlight) and one of the things i love the most is how clean the whole body looks without having those indicators sticking out the fairings and specially that king cobra looking tail how it widens out due to the indicators being integrated.

seen this gxr go wild on track special a great rider rides this monster

You know you love it Dan. Might as well get one.......Sal : )

I PDI' many gixxer's when I worked at Suzuki, in 2005 it was already too much for the road, beautiful machines

What did you use to attach your phone to the bike?

I've had 'blades since 2011 as my daily commuter and for fun at the weekend but when it came time to change my 2017 SP I loved the look of the RR-R but within minutes of my test ride I realised it's 100% track focused and is like a torture implement to ride as well as being totally lifeless below 7/8,000 RPM, the opposite of every previous comfortable do it all 'blade, so I went in search of something comparable to the traditional 'blade and eventually found it in my 2021 GSX-R 1000R, it's just as comfortable as the old 'blades but with that extra spice to it a lovely do it all bike.

That’s my favourite colourway. Gorgeous bike

Nice bike Dan, too bad the speedo keeps malfunctioning tho 😁

Could you make a video on what other vehicles you own and a garage tour, if possible. Thank You.

Completely understand where your coming from. I got the chance to test a Kwak ZX10R, bit of a dream bike for me, and for the second or two you can open it up on a public road it’s thrilling, but just no where near its capabilities. On the flip side, if you do go to a track would you risk binning a 20k bike in the kitty litter? Great bits of kit though!

lol, yes I could tell before you made the statement, I don't really ride sports bikes. Not much of the side of the tires had touched the road. Love this machine though, would not mind to own one. Good video !

Been riding for 30 years and have owned many bikes. There has always been a Gixxer in my possession for a number of reasons. The main one is it's ease of maintenance and it's reliability.

Good video by the way

I have the same bike, 2021 1000R Anniversary model. Full system M4 exaust, sprint filter, velocity stacks, DYNO and ECU Flash, etc. Come to Texas and you will find some roads to open it up on.

Best video I've seen.

Hey Dan. Could you tell me what type of 360 camera you’re using and the mount? Thanks 🙏

Too much for the road? That’s funny my grandmother said the same thing when she saw I bought one last week.

There are many manufacturars that make a good solution for this like the cbr650r, rs660, r7,etc.. i have a cbr650r for the road and a dedicated track bike (2008 fireblade), best of both worlds 👊

Wrist control never changes on any bike level ! Run when you can and putt when you have too !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I almost bought this bike brand new. Unfortunately with my financial status, I couldn't. I did have the chance to hear the bike and see the menu. After sitting on it I fell in love.

Get rid of the exhaust and put one from the brand Taylormade on. The Taylormade ones are tucked away nicely and sound even greater. As a bonus you get a few more hp after a dyno run.

I was smiling and laughing along with you what that litre bike was giving you 😄

I really enjoyed the 15 years I had with my Suzuki Bandit 1200S. I traded my Ninja for a Triumph America for my wife. I miss the G-forces. I guess I could get a MT1000 for myself.

I have the gsxs version of this bike. Same frame, swingarm and K5 engine tuned for the street, 152bhp. Its plenty and very capable, I use it daily, and yes I agree rece bikes are a handful on the road. I've done all afternoon in the Peak District today and hardly seen any fully faired race bikes, they're mostly nakeds, MTs, triumphs, dukes etc. ....Great vid BTW

I got a GSX-S1000 and I love that Bike it has all the torque and power of the race bike at below a 100mph and it’s comfy I can ride it all day no problems at all. But yea it’s a hand full if you ride it hard at all.

what phone mount is that?

200hp oh my! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Doesn't look too dissimilar to the 2005 GSXR1000, amazing machine for over 20 years.

As an owner of a 2015 S1000RR with the all of the options added, I can reveal that I miss my L4 GSXR 1000. The BMW is too much, feels like a turbo the way the power comes on, where as the GSXR allowed you to gradually get into licence-losing territory with the high rev limit. What the GSXR lacked in goodies, it made up for in soul. I am now looking to sell the BMW and pick up a similar GSXR, no traction control, no ABS, exactly how it should be. My two cents worth.

What kind of gloves are you wearing and are they touch screen capable?

The K4 1000 will always be the choice for me!! 🥰

What phone mount is that?

After seeing several videos, for me it´s hard to get rid of my 02 bandit 600. I love the GSXr´s.

Stupid question: what are you using for a microphone? Despite the engine and wind noise you sound quite clear.

Too much for the road? Just about every modern sports bike can be used at 40% of its potential maximum on today's roads. After almost 40 years of petrol bikes I've just moved to a Zero FXE (in the Paris region where petrol bikes are basically becoming unusable) and am loving it. 135kg, 106nm of torque and it makes it from the very first twist. It handles like a dream too. As much as I've loved my 20 odd past bikes, I think that the future is electric and the 0-60 times are what counts these days not 70-230mph.

The king of sportbike's

Beautiful Bike

What phone mount are you using for your sat nav?

Me with my newly delivered GSX-R125....totally elated with the performance despite its size.

I got a K5. No back ,wrist or knee ache for me. Its got hard suspension though. I can flop on a full tank back for longer journeys. Yr right its too quick for the road. Standing quarter in 10.1seconds at 144mph, 0-100 is about 6 seconds, top speed over 180mph. Its about 25kilos lighter than the new one and approx 30bhp less. The torque is lower on the K5 , max is 8,500rpm not 10,800 for the new one. So it very relaxing to ride at normal speeds! You cant use the engine on country lanes really - 120mph comes up too fast, 3/4 throttle for more than a few seconds gets into madness. 150mph on a B road? You can use the full ballistic acceleration joining A roads and motorways though - which is a blast. The engine doesnt feel like its working unless yr accelerating from over 80mph and only over about 120mph does it feel like its...trying. In the wet I have to brace my throttle hand on the bar end for precise throttle control other wise more than small throttle openings spins up the rear tyre - even in 6th - There's no ABS or modes or traction control so some care is required everywhere. Im 5'8" tall and slim at 10stone 10/150lbs/68kgs and 64 years old. So I am 30kilos lighter than a lot of the testers on KZfaq ! Its the fastest thing Ive ever ridden -much faster than my new Blackbird in '97 . When I was younger I cant say I would have used the engine more - I was just inclined to brake later and go faster around blind bends! I was a despatch rider for 10 years so i can still be a bit of a nutter - but the bike just laughs at me when I try to go fast on it. I LOVE IT :))

I test rode one as a replacement for my K1 thou I sold 10 years ago, and it was stupid fast! Ended up buying a Gen 2 GSXS1000 which is way more comfortable, but still way fast enough… but man the roads are in shocking condition compared to my K1 days….

I remember the CBX being the first 100 bhp/litre bike This is 200 bhp/ litre. Kinnel
