When MCN Chief Road Tester was invited to race Team Classic Suzuki's Katana at the final round of the 2017 European Classic Endurance championship in Argon, he decided to take the 2342.2 mile trip to Spain on his GSX-R1000R. This is his story of a stunning ride down through France, over the Pyrenees, through northern Spain's rocky mountains and (nearly) four hours racing on a very special Katana.

I didnt know such a programme existed and I am impressed, very cool. And Katana looks like a beast. Also great respect to take so many miles on that GSX-R1000R.

I bought the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R about a month ago, got $5,000.00 Canadian off the List price, due to looking finding a deal, then a Price Match by the Suzuki Dealership in my hometown. It really is Comfortable isn't it!!! Only have about 700 km's on it as yet, weather hasn't co-op'd but getting better. Best to you. I do like your videos, I had a GSX-R750 back in 1986 thought it was fast---not a candle not even close to this bike. :)

neevesybikes Thanks Neevesy. Keep them vids coming. Great inspiration (The MCN Team). You should do a trip there superbike vs supernaked. I think supernaked will win.

Streethawk_1 everything is standard. If you’re careful you can squeeze out 60mpg. It’s just a can and gives 7bhp.

Gerhard Symons probably not. You want to learn your trade on something smaller, lighter and something you don’t mind dropping!

@FadilKarim 6 жыл бұрын

No it's a bad beginner bike because it isn't powerful enough. You'll get bored of this too quickly so save your money and buy a Hayabusa.

@richardsterna750GSX-R 6 жыл бұрын

No no no unless you don't mind the high probability of crashing and seriously injuring yourself or worse. My first bigger bike was a Honda CBR600 and the first time I fully opened the throttle on that bike my eyes nearly popped out of my head, that was in 1991. Ive ridden a few bikes since then but I test rode the GSXR 1000 a few weeks ago and when I ripped the throttle open I was taken straight back to 1991, it is a fantastic bike and I want one but NOT a first bike. I would go for an older sports 600, most manufacturers made great models till just a few years ago and Yamaha still do.

@cosmikrelic4815 6 жыл бұрын

Gerhard don't take this the wrong way, but are you insane? Only Americans buy a 1000cc sport bike as their first bike, normal people learn their craft. A dirt bike is a good way to start, and a second hand one at that. If you want a street bike try a 400 or maybe an SV650 kind of thing. Cheers

@todd1737 5 жыл бұрын

IDK if you got a bike yet, but my '06 katana 600 has been a fantastic first bike. Fantastic on the highway and plenty of low torque for in town riding. I highly recomend one. You can even thrash it a bit when you're more confident without worrying about overdoing it and hurting yourself or the bike. Also, cheap and simple to work on if you have the mind for it.

@neevesybikes 6 жыл бұрын

Andy Parker but then you’d miss the Pyrenees and mountains of northern Spain on your bike. Stuck on a stuffy, boring ferry, especially in bad weather in the Bay of Biscay is no fun. May as well just fly if you want to get there fast ‘n cheap, but I’ll take the excitement of a road trip any day!
