I had a 2008 Suzuki GSXR1000 for 10 yrs. I put 30,000 trouble free miles on it but with getting older, by then I was 60, I found I couldn't bend so well to get on it. So I sold it and my old 2013 HD FatBob and bought an HD SGS and I'd like to say nice things about it but I can't. So today I pickup a run out model GSX-S 1000F. Not a hyper naked but it;s basically the same bike with a bit of plastic. With the addition of some Givi bits I now have a sports tourer that doesn't weigh 800lbs and jars your back and kidneys every bump on the road.

I have to agree with Slim Ryno. Yammie, you really paid attention to what I think matters in a bike. I own one of these bikes, love it and I am 54. Yup, an old guy. I’ve had several GSXRs, including a non-restricted Busa, not forgetting my Bandit 1200. Suzuki knows how to engineer a bike and it was cool to see you recognize it in that bike, as the video progressed. Great channel, excellent and accurate knowledge every time I watch. ** I like the commentary over radio during the ride. Very clear.

Guess I am one of the people yam talked about who don't really need/want rider modes, tft's and so on. At least it does not make the bike that much more desirable that I'm willing to pay a lot for it. To me the simplicity of a bike like this is a feature, and not a negative one. I think there definitely is something to be said for an uncomplicated "pure" motorcycle. Oh and I totally agree, a "standard" inline 4 is just awesome in terms of feel and sound!

This marks my 20th year riding (Fz1, R6 etc) and I absolutely love that I can still have a blast with little compromise in the corners and still enjoy a long day 300+ miles without feeling like I just got off a torture rack (R6). My 750 has fantastic mid range and handles way better than I expected it to.

@Dr Darren It is fast if you want to ride it fast but it can perfectly ride slow without any problem. On my commute I often ride mine smooth in top gear from 25mph up to whatever speed you want. There is enough torque to stay in top gear only if you use the throttle properly (opening slowly) , less stress on the engine and economy improves as well. Great universal road bike. Wouldn't change it for any other bike.

Cost was not a concern with me, simplicity and chassis control were first, the engine was just a bonus. But one commenter said something important which adds to your thoughts. The last of the outgoing generation is always better than the first of the new. I can't wait to see what the future brings! Keep up the great videos!

This bike is very underrated imho. What people don’t realize is just how damn comfortable it is. It is not a touring bike, but it is the most upright and comfy sportbike out there for long, hour + rides. I owned a 2020 Z900RS before trading it in for a 2020 S1000F. The seating is identical, other than the foot pegs being higher and sportier, but the gear box is buttery smooth, the chassis is infinitely more capable, and the engine is just awesome. Plenty of power for me.. Great sound on stock pipes. I also wanted the new Ducati supersport but it’s too expensive for such a slow bike, seems like a sportbike for ladies.. I want to try a Tuono, but if you’re looking for a fun to ride sportbike that doesn’t kill your back, this is kind of the only one. They need to make more naked super sportbikes that sit upright AND are fully faired. If you’re like me, this bike is perfect for your needs, and it’s kind of nice not having HAL level electronics. Oh yeah, S1000F is super fugly especially with only one running light (:

From the back and side it is beautiful. From the front, sort of an overgrown scooter, but I also have a 2020 F and LOVE it. 2 days ago I installed a Leo Vince slip-on. I do not want more power but did want it a tad louder. That pipe did the trick. It is just a little louder with more of a growl down low. I really like it. Good price and no tuning needed. It runs as good as it did with the stock can on it. Also saved 2.5lbs. Not much, but it is a plus.

Confidence inspiring brakes (when dialled in fluid wise etc). Super stable in the corners. It is just a well sorted machine. That’s it’s proposition vs all the tech laden competitors.

I loved my gsxs. Very approachable price, super comfortable ride and manageable power. It did feel underwhelming at first because I waited a few days to really open her up. Then I found out after you hit around 7k rpm, that thing would really wake up.

Classic i4. My (younger) brother switched bike, an MT10, with my friend who got a ZZR1400 Kaw, for a short sprint run. They went, and i saw and heard them - and later my bro said that he: wasnt impressed at all ! - by the 1400. He had, what? In his 10? More torque? Nah... He just did not know how a i4 differ from an 270° X-plane, or how the powerband in an i4 work, so he did not rev it. In his mind, the 10 is always king. Ignorance. (Edit: i actually thought the MT-10 was boring. My pillion too, at ~200+ > different strokes for different folks :) )

I bought my 2020 F model new and kept the RPM where the book said through break-in. I remember thinking, OK, not bad, but once break in was done and I took it to red line I was shocked at the pull from 8500 and up! I have 2200 miles on it now in 2 months and I am still shocked when it hits that power band. The way the front tire lifts even with TC on setting 1.

I have a 2020 GSXS1000F. No not the naked, but the same bike with some fairing. I can honestly say the bike scares the shit out of me when even with TC on, the front tire lifts when it hits 9K on a full throttle pull. Every time I ride it I have a huge smile and a little fear of what it is capable of. It handles like a dream and pulls like hell. I would not want more HP to get me into even more trouble.

My 2016, gsx s1000 has full exhaust ,holeshot 93 octane custom race tune. Making 162hp to the ground and I have raced 09 r1 and one, and 11 zx14 I have stayed half a car length away up to 170mph. Wants to wheelie all the time at almost any rpm. A stock one it toned down. Fully tuned . Its fun as hell. The h2 is a great bike but heavy. Handles bad, and ticking time bomb motor. Comparing a 150hp stock bike vs 200hp bikes is not a great comparison

I have the '18 and love it. For general street use (99٪ of the time), it's perfect. Back then, you could get one new typically for like $8-10k on closeout. Swapped the shock for $650 and I got myself a canyon ripper that's actually comfortable. I also put low supermoto bars on mine for like $80 and it's crazy fun (among all the other upgrades I'd typically ever want to do such as full exhaust, ECU flash, rearsets, QS, heated grips, cosmetics, etc, and still kept it under the cost of the next supernaked). Yeah, it's not a $30k Duc, but if you can't have fun on 150hp, enjoy your lighter wallet and I'll enjoy my bargain beast.

Oh man, I'm THAT guy... I really loved our Vulcan S, and I love my naked Gixxus. I'm 40yo, and It's like I'm deliberately trying to be uncool, even more now I've fitted a screen and bag rack. But, I do love how much the other (younger) naked-bike-boys I hang with hate it; Especially when we're an hour into a ride & they're already stretching, standing in the saddle or dangling their hands while they're not fidgeting with a backpack. My 2020 model is now my daily. It's comfy, practical, and plenty of fun in the twisties. It would be nice to have that flex worthy power at the top end sometimes, but the one upgrade I really would love is cruise control... Which I'm pretty sure even the new models still don't have. Love your videos and reviews, even if the bikes I love here in Aus for their practicality are the ones you love to roast. Cheers Pappa Yam.

I’m a big MT10 I’ve had mine for 3 months now but a buddy of mine that I ride with just picked up a new model year and now it has TFT display with rider modes, quick up and down shifter an all the bells and whistles my mt10 has minus the cruise control and it’s still the same price maybe 2 one 3 hundred dollars more. It’s a darn nice bike for the price it’s not going to win anyone over who was looking at a Yamaha, triumph or anything like that but for anyone on a budget who wants to ride with anything their buddies might have this bike is a darn good bargain. It’s gearing felt pretty short which made it fell like it had more down low power than you would expect out of it. I’m sure anyone who buys one would love their bike.

Most riders aren’t advanced enough to use or need 200hp. The gsxs1000 is the best value and performance you can get. Unless you are going in a straight line dragging on the freeway the gsxs is the better bike. I’ve been riding for 45 years and can wipe up 99% of riders on the weekend road and twists with this bike. Great torque spread. Comfortable. Gadjets. Electronics. Garbage you don’t need. Buy this bike. Put full headers and an aggressive pc5 map with an intermediate rider and say good bye to everyone with the small exception of a Ducati streetfighter.

People dont realize how close these bikes are in horsepower bone stock to the more expensive Super sports , this one is rated around 150hp which it tends to show on the dynos here on YT but many new Super Sports that claim to have 200Hp or therabouts end up falling way short in Dyno testing in many cases nearly 40 hp short and even after having their ECU flashed they are still way short of advertised but not the GSX-S .

I have a 2020 Z900 at the moment, and the GSXS looks like a nice step up from there, opposed to the giant leap an H2 would be. BTW, I liked the premise for this episode, good topic! I didn't enjoy the traffic y'all were stuck behind though. I lived in Texas 2003-2012, but I guess Austin has gotten much busier since then.

For those who don't know k5 means it's first application was a 2005 gsxr motor. Not sure exactly how long they used this exact motor but year over year that motor would've been tuned to produce slightly more power and keep it safe. That's insane in 2021 but also really cool.
