Less weight and way more hp = win. This youtube salesman guy is delusional.

@@JD-fd6gt gsx8r weighs 452. The 600 is about 410. Choice is easy lol as you put less weight and more power

@@CollinMac96 Yeah no shit, I was saying the maker of the video was delusional.

@@JD-fd6gt and I’m agreeing with you Jack a ss. F ****** clown 🤡

@@JD-fd6gt I’m agreeing with you 🤡 goofy 🤪

Thanks so much!

My GSXS1000F had the same tail design, and it's exactly as you say. I ended up buying a used stock rear fender and it was so much better in the rain. As for which bike to own, ABS/TC is really hard to give up even if you're an experienced rider. It's so easy to accidentally lock up a front tire in bad conditions, like rain at night in urban areas.

Yeah, the cyclops headlight really turned me off and I bought the GSXR600 instead. They were sitting side by side at the dealership and the GSXR600 just looked soooooo much better :)

@@dannygaron the 8r a lil too sport touring for me I agree. But def awesome if thats what i was looking for

I actually like the look of the front of the 8r. I hear what you say. They could have styled it more, but I think the GSXR600 looks just a little dated in the headlight. To each their own. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Except the GSX8R costs pretty close to the super sport bikes. With almost half the power

Heh, it is an 8S with fairings. Don't you find that the GSXR is hard on your wrists/neck/back? I'm quite happy with my GSX S1000GT currently, but have been eyeing the BMW S1000RR more than a bit. In Quebec, if your bike is on the "naughty list" by the Ministry of Transport, your plate is 2k a year instead of the 800/year for what I have now. Anything that is considered 'super sports' is on the list. So that is definitely a factor when deciding on a bike (for me).

​@@Sprocket01 Yeah, you pay a penalty with super sport bikes in Australia too. Insurance premiums are much higher. I've never felt any back pain on the GSXR or any other super sport, but neck pain and right wrist pain was an issue at first. The pain goes away after you adapt your posture. A straight spine or slightly curved inward relieves neck pain. You also need to squeeze the tank with your thighs and use your core to relieve pressure from your wrist. The S1000RR is a great bike, but like any other super sport, shifting body weight plays a bigger role in cornering. A lot of people find the riding position of sport bikes intimidating, but it's just a matter of adaptation. Your body will naturally find a comfortable position. The riding style is more engaging than upright naked bikes.

Suzuki would have to discontinue the 750 if they made the 8 an i4. The bikes would be too similar performance wise. Now you can get raised clip ons for the 600 but the ride and seating is a bit awkward depending on how tall you ate

4 cylinders only have power at the top end. That's not good for a city bike.

In Canada the Mt09 is a couple grand more, also the z900 can be had for a great deal but the lack of tech doesn’t make it all that appealing

@@SWTVENOM in my country all of the 3 are priced the same.

Would you say the 8r could be a beginner bike?

@@SWTVENOM I would absolutely say that the 8R can be a first bike. That being said, it would be for someone that has self control, but it's not much different in power than my SV 650 (the BEST beginner bike IMHO). I would recommend either one before a Yamaha MT07! I had that one out two and a half weeks ago and really didn't like it. The MT 10SP (not a beginner bike) was a lot of fun.

Not every bike can be ridden. I do expect to be riding some of these soon though. Stay tuned.

I love the classic dials on my personal Kawasaki Z900RS SE, but these displays do offer good information presented in a clear way. It's the way of the future whether we like it or not, so I do take time to praise TFT's that are done well.
