I think you are first guy to review this bike in real life on youtube.

Great alternative to the S1000XR.

That's a great looking machine.

First time viewer. Good to see Dameralls still going, bought my first bike from them in 2000. A brand new hornet. Lack of official top box is a head scratcher on a bike like this and heated grips should be standard on a £15k bike in the UK. I’d take a cheaper one with standard suspension.

Never watched you before, great real review. 😊

Good review, thanks for sharing Lofty.

Hayup lofty just watched your demo on the vstrom 1050 great video I've a 2014 1000 model and cannot fault it great bike and are well priced. Noticed your small bag your wearing could you please send me a like for it as I don't seem to be able to find it on Google. Keep up the blogs pal thier ace. .

Awesome review and hope to swap out my Vstrom soon. As an aside I believe the button under the hazards is the cruise control, which activate at about 12.20, and not traction control. Cheers from boiling hot Auckland New Zealand.

The Lofty Biker 🎉 happy new year. Such a great video. This bike is my dream bike's rival. This bike has been designed to literally put the Yamaha Tracer 900/9GT/+ down to the ground, a muddy boot on the neck.

I would love one of these, but the boss (the wife ) will only allow one bike in the shed. Greetings from South Australia 😎 I have the 2018 GSX S 1000 and love it,

Goodness me! Unlike some other comments, I thought you were pushing it hard enough 😮 An awesome looking machine as you said. Great review 👍👏🤞🏻

I saw the other video you made with africa twin and i think it was on the same route. Which bike did you enjoy more on these twistes? About acceleration, up to 70mph , which one accelerates better? Is there a big difference in torgoue?

Like your reviews. Summed up the bike well. To us mere mortals your speed on wet narrow roads is scary. Like your on bike commentary of road events.

Good review. Not an advertorial.

After a knee replacement I find it hard to find a bike that does not pull your knees tight , I currently ride a tracer which is pretty comfortable , I could see myself on one of these if I had the leg room.

Great review man, suppose it is exactly as you say, a real world test. Think it wil be decent seller hopefully, and more realistically priced than some of euro bikes. Keep the vids coming. 👌👍

Not my kind of bike, these days, but as usual I did enjoy your video.

Thanks for review . Is the 15 cm travel suspension soft like versys1000 or stiff like s1000 xr ?

I’ve got the GT and have been thinking of upgrading to the GX (money permitting).

What was the matt green finish like, it looked really nice ? I chickened out and ordered the Triton Blue. Did you notice that the bike had no rear hugger fitted ? The holes were there, so I'm thinking it should have one, if they didn't intend to fit one you would have thought they would have plugged the holes. By ordering before the 31st of January I have qualified for free Suzuki integated heated grips which are an eyewatering £420. The dealer has ordered a rear hugger for me off the GT model just in case it also doesn't have one and is also fitting the optional centre stand.

good bike, good review!

Great review as always TLB! At 6’5” you sir are a giant. I can’t think of any motorcycle that you would feel comfortable on🤔 A great first off motorcycle for Suzuki but just short off the mark. If the screen was taller & auto adjustable & the pegs just that little lower, it would be a fantastic motorcycle. I just wonder that peg scraping would be on a tourer’s list of importance? Cheers 🤙

Good review! Nice looking bike.

I had the 2022 Busa & sold it due to health reasons but I’m back in 2024 & love how smooth Suzuki’s are & cheap to run. I’m thinking about the GX , any negatives please exaggerate if you have to. Its this or the AT DCT or Triumph 765Rs . They are priced at 48k , 56k & 41k in Singapore.

MUITO TOP 👌👌

I did own the base model gsxs1000 and now I've seen them brand new for £8750. I really struggle to see where the £4000+ is spent. The footpegs did feel slightly too high to be a high mileage tourer. I think a decent screen and soft luggage on the base model would put it damn near close for £3000 less

nice bike, is low down torque good enough in low speeds? cause on paper max torques is pretty high.

try top speed... it to slow for big bike..sir

I ordered one on Friday after a chilly 30 mile test ride.

Wow, you ride like a normal person. (our age) Comparable to the Tracer 9GT?

Nice review! I wish you pushed it a little harder. Acceleration looked very slow, how do you compare to your NT engine wise? Does it pull equally well or less?

Great review i too was very interested in buying one until i was told by the guys on the suzuki stand in nec that no top box was available for this model so im asuming that they don't trust the sub frame tocarry pillion and box together whats the point of the rear rack then hopefully truimph will soon re introduce a tiger sport soon i have the baby 660 sport at the moment and guess what it has 3 piece luggage all genuine parts so come on suzuki i think you will loose sales because of that very thing im not prepared to risk putting an after market box on unless suzuki would guarantee that the sub frame will take it .

At 6'5", yes, it's a bit small for you, your legs were a bit cramped.

Leave the pegs where they are for good ground clearance and just get the touring sit which is higher so You have the more open knee angle.

Why make a tall bike, nice high bars upright position then put high sports bike pegs on it ??? At least have adjustable pegs ??? I’m 6ft 3 and love the look and specs on this but couldn’t buy it as it’s too cramped

Lofty bike,Lofty Biker 😂

I have a 2009 1250 Bandit sounds identical??

2:40 did you just go around the roundabout by mistake or to prove a point? Hahaha

when I see how this man goes 40 km/h on 4 gear, on a bike that he is supposed to ride fast, I can't continue watching this video further
