The Suzuki GSX-S1000 isn't exactly cutting edge in the design and technology department. But with a new model perhaps on the horizon, now is the perfect time to pick up an absolute bargain!

People love Dogging Suzuki. I can never figure out why...they are reliable and they don't overcharge for the performance they offer...I look at it like this car makers don't offer new redesigns every three years nobody gripes but for some reason motorcyclists expect the newest thing every year. (My philosophy is keep it simple if it ain't broke don't fix it)

They might not have the best image but they are bang for buck and sure as hell reliable and quality is very good compared to kawasaki

For a every day commuter, tourer through to a weekend play machine, this is as close as you get to the perfect bike for the money. We are spoiled for choice, but do you really need any more power, handling and braking?? The ergonomics are near perfect. how many negative reviews do you read about Suzuki's in general? Suzuki inline 4's are smooth, bullet proof works of art. Yes, they may not have the latest electronics but as like my L6 GSXR 750, it is a real riders bike, All the inputs come from you and that makes you a better rider. I also own a DRZ400E and that design has not changed for 20 years and they still sell like hot cakes for a reason.

I've even gone from Hampshire to Devon/Cornwall border on one tank of fuel. 👌😁

Good honest test ,I have owned one for nearly 4 years .The good points are the engine clutch gearbox the seat general riding position reliably (58000kms not one problem) and the sound. The GSX-S will stay with a BMW S1000R in a drag race.The throttle response is easily improved by removing the air box restrictor, a arko slip on and making sure that theTPS unit is adjusted correctly . The bad points are the suspension which is crap,it's hard to work on and the brake pads need an upgrade ( easily done). The GSX-S is great on fuel never uses oil between changes.Overall the GSX-S is top value for the money ; but now I want 1290 Superduke

Wonderful bike with some quirks, although once mastering this bike, it always makes me smile. Tuned suspension, although replacing rear shock soon, at 4800 miles, replaced the Dunlaps with Michelins, handles much better. Flashing my ECU to correct air/fuel, twitch and engine braking, removing cat and sensors, replacing with straight pipe and M4 can. This should make her sweet.

Brilliant bike, great review.Thought you were a little harsh on the suspension though. A big lad like you needs more rear preload even without luggage or a pillion and an overall addition of more damping front and back. A 9st rider will get a completely different ride with stock suspension settings. He’ll have a shorter trail, more turn in and have a less wallowing ride than you. Take a screwdriver and a C spinner (if needed) on your test rides, you are not the average rider weight.

LCR, Brilliant review. Love your truthful, honest straightforward bike reviews. I've been trying to find this for a while now, but no matter where I've looked I still don't have the answer. Does this GSX-S1000 have ride by wire (RbW)? Or is it still ol' school throttle cables? If it's NOT RbW, then how does the Traction Control work? By reducing fuel intake? I'm looking for a naked sport bike that doesn't have all the gadgets of today's standards. So, much so that I've seriously consider buying a used sport bike like a 2008 - 2010 CBR1000RR and street fighter-ing it. Technology is great, but it makes one loose precious skills and some how reduces the fun factor...IMO.

My mechanic in Portimao told me that the big Suzuki inline fours were like that. That is something I like. I wouldn't mind a big inline four again and find the CB1000R attractive to look at. Very much so, but this bike has more mid-range, looks okay and has that engine. Shame they're too pricey in Thailand, where I spend most of my year now. The usual first-class review from a man who really knows his bikes and can really ride.

Hi Lamb Chops. Just watched this review again after your 2021 model review. Great reviews, thanks. The 2021 model has just arrived on our shores with limited stock already sold. Pre-order and wait. My local shop has a couple of new GSX S750s in the new colours for about Stg7,100 and a blue 2019 GSX S1000 with 2,000 km on the clock for Stg7.650. And a great trade in offer. I ride in the city almost daily and occasionally in the twisties. I have found the 750 to be great around town on several rides. Will try the 1000 shortly. The 750 needs a screen at higher speeds, horrible air flow even for a naked. Which would you recommend the 750 or 1000? Or spend more and wait for the new 1000? And have you tried a small screen?

Road the GSX S1000. Too much for a city ride in my view. Never get out of second and a bit peaky. The 750 is fast enough.

Yup, that's the game, under ten grand for a brand new litre bike. The engine and gearbox are legendary 👍🏻.

Where are you buying this for 10k?

@reconstrucdead1 3 жыл бұрын

I tried the 2016 model a couple of years ago, and omg the snatchy throttle was horrible. I now bought the 2020 model, and have no issues with that what so ever on the new model

I've seen reports of vibration above 5k revs. Did you notice this Chopsy? Is the 750 better for the road do you think? Keep up the fab vids :)

I’ve never had a quick shifter so I don’t miss it. I think this would be a great bike to own, but I haven’t ridden one.

Try it! Complete rocketship. Traction control #1 has the front wheel levitating twice in first gear, 3 times in 2nd, and you're at 100mph before getting to third gear. I've yet to turn off traction control. Don't really see the point to be honest.

Never had the honor of riding better engineered bikes than Suzukis.

Try Honda

I failed to mention that I'm 61 years old and have been an avid rider since I got my endorsement. I have owned numerous Hondas along the way. Starting with a CB350 in 73 and ending with an 08 Fireblade. Hondas are good, but in my opinion Suzukis are not only superior in the engineering department, their parts are made of better quality materials, and sound and feel more fun. Safe riding.

Hi Lambchop have you any views on the throttle boost thats available for these euro4/5 fuelling problems?

@darrenbutler160 2 жыл бұрын

I own a 2021 superduke and bought a new gsxs in June for 8.5 k for a bit of touring or the odd track day. Gotta maxton shock on it ,decent tyres and lithium battery . It's a weapon and I've been riding more than the KTM. My friends got a panigale 1299 final edition and my 8.5k gsxs dicks his 34k plankigale . Cheap thrills indeed

Lovely bike. I’m curious? The art of clutch-less shifting seems to be forgotten. I do it instinctively and wonder why it’s not talked about more in view of mixed opinions on quick shifters. A blog on this subject would be great. Oh yeah.... what news on the hyper? (Joke) ;-)

@joeyg29jgjg 3 жыл бұрын

I'm 23 and sir clutchless shifting hasn't been forgotten. However once you experience a quick shifter nothing compares.

@RikkyTang 3 жыл бұрын

I mention clutchless shifting in several of my reviews (didn't happen to mention it when I rode this one). I've been doing it for 30-odd years with varying degrees of success! (the shifting, not the reviews!)

Pre pressure the gear lever, jab the clutch and it’s close to quick shifter. Tho I agree it’s harder to change at “making progress” speeds. 😁

@BN1960 3 жыл бұрын

I too am a big Suzuki fan but I think they have a gap in their range? Something to line up against the Tracer 900, F900XR etc A new GSX up on its toes would be it. I don't think it's the V Strom 1050 But these GSXSXXSSXX's are a huge bargain. Nice.

@dbtrackz33 3 жыл бұрын

I’d love to see a straight line run vs an MT10. Both are similar in power, slight edge to Suzuki stock, after modding and tuning the gap closes slightly with both 150whp easy on most any dyno . Have yet to see a video of these 2 bikes going WOT next to each other. Edit- you got it backwards Chops. TEN=Rebound. COMP=Compression.
