Just bought a 2024 1000 SX but I really wanted the H2 SX SE but a H2 is double the cost

Love mine , only bike I’d buy again

Bonito paseo y la musical es increíble

Daddy Biker, I loved reading your review of the Eliminator. I'm in my mid 70s (age, not mph 😂) and until recently had a Royal Enfield Meteor 350 which I'd downsized to (with some nervousness !) from an Interceptor 650. I found the Meteor a sublime machine to get out in the Hampshire Country lanes on and didn't regret the change. I found the 'bike style (and even the low engine power output) engendered the relaxed riding experience you encountered on the Eliminator SE. Then a catastrophe .... my (relatively) local R/E Dealership ceased trading and there wasn't a practical alternative R/E dealership within a reasonable distance from my home, so for servicing purposes etc I was (very reluctantly) forced to change. I then discovered that I had arthritis developing in my right hip, so finding a mount that had a comfortable seat to footpeg ergonomic was problematic. Last autumn I ended up getting a Triumph Speedtwin 900. Being a 'fair weather' rider in my old age, I didn't get to ride much in the following months but now we are getting some drier days (every now and again !) I can get out for longer rides. However, these longer rides have proved the Speedtwin isn't as comfortable as I thought it would be. As my hip problem will only worsen with time, I decided it would be beneficial financially to make a 'bike change sooner rather than later, when my worsening hip condition discomfort made longer rides too uncomfortable. With little hope of success I started looking to see if anything new had appeared on the market that might emulate the Meteor's riding pleasure. I then discovered the Eliminator (similar I know to the Honda Rebel, but in my previous search I discovered that even sitting on the Rebel and putting my right foot on the footpeg (whilst stationary) caused discomfort !). I arranged a trip to my nearest (albeit 50 miles distant) Kawasaki Dealership and took a test-ride on an Eliminator SE. (not expecting the twin engine to be to my liking, the engine being too 'revvy'). I was amazed at the Eliminator's character. It was immediately comfortable and natural to ride, and my initial launch out was in heavy traffic, so was an immediate test of the 'bikes character with regard to my requirements. What I discovered once I got out on the open road I found that the Eliminator had a Jekell and Hyde character. It was happy to bimble along in residential locations in a high gear or out on A--Roads would come alive once the 6000 rpm mark was reached on the rev-counter. (The only drawback I encountered with my Meteor was that, being as it was electronically limited to 70 mph, any forced motorway type trips were not enjoyable. I'm a firm believer that on the rare occasions I did an M-Way or similar trip I wanted, for safety reasons, to be travelling at least as fast as surrounding traffic and with 'something to spare' and me not be a mobile road-block for 'cagers' on their mobile phones . Not possible on the Meteor, although anecdotal evidence on the Meteor 350 indicates the engine will cruise at max (or near max) speed for hours on end if so required. The Eliminator doesn't suffer this max. speed shortcoming as there is plenty of pull from the engine at 70 mph. I have an Eliminator SE on the way to my local dealership that hopefully will be pdi'd etc and ready for my collection in the first week of June . I'm having the accessory luggage rack fitted, and I've also opted for the 30mm higher seat to be fitted (to make the seat/footpeg ergo even more comfortable, although I didn't encounter discomfort with the standard seat). If the extra height is due to extra padding, even more comfort should be present. Thank you for sharing your 'Eliminator' review experience. Your well constructed review re-inforced my decision to order the Eliminator. I'm only having a total of a little over 14 days wait for my bike-swop, but it seems like a lifetime. Viewing your Eliminator ride was just what I needed during my wait 🤠. (Just for info of other viewers/ potential Eliminator owners, I'm vertically challenged, with just a 29" inseam and arm length proportional to my (almost) 5' 8"compact height 🤔. Safe riding. 🏍💨... ...

One thing Yamaha can’t seem to do is make a nice looking headlamp assembly. They should’ve designed a few and polled customers for a final decision

Honest review. I love my 1050XTA and I also own a 2019 Goldwing a Harley and a 2020 Ninja but I feel the Vstrom is the best all around bike

Ha Audi...what a suprise

Once you take the rear preload off auto you lose some automatic damping input.

Ugly thing. Looks like someone in the design office went bonkers and decided to bolt a load of Temu/Wish gadgets onto it.

Una Suzuki impresionante ✌️

🤙🤙🤙

Compartido todo es mejor ❤

😂 its a tad bland. Sounds, goes like and has a character of a blender The 750 was a far superior bike altogether.. That’s being a tad unfair, its a decent enough bike and I do like the looks

Great machine mate bought mine in October 23 Only thing I did to it was install a splitter to the screen a tail tidy and crash bobbins Just ordered a Givi top box as the panniers are a little wide for filtering imo Enjoy ya new toy 👍👍

Leider viel zu schlechte qualität des Videos. Das wird sich keiner anschauen. Sorry buddy.

A sweet vid. I was very glad to learn Mode can change on the run. I am sure they have Sunshowers in Japan too))

Reco Handguards?

Noice! How do u find long rides and commutes?

I would love one but have the GSX S 1000 and the boss (my wife) won’t let me get another. Just happy that I am allowed one. Take care mate. 😎

Do you know how to use the gears , I bet your fuel consumption is really really poor .

I am very bias, but it is a cracking bike. I am still running mine in, but it has plenty of poke for road riding... I traded in a 150bhp GSX-R 750 for my 8S and don't miss the power at all.

Great bike! But maybe take a look at your video and audio set up. Fogged video, audio low and static. And maybe kill the music your listening to, or possible copyright strike.

I ended up giving up trying to watch this video... WTF is wrong with the camera lens, dirty? Steamed up? Too annoying to put up with for more than a couple of minutes I fast forwarded to confirm the whole video is of very poor quality 👎

That’s a surprise, thought you were happy with the Tracer… Nice Ninjas though and hoot you’re happy with it , pop some pics up! 👌

hi there!daddy biker here too!one question.did you find much engine heat,so much that it was annoing?

Beautiful Johnathon, thank you for being such a great friend to Richard

Absolutely magical experience, I'd love to do it with you one year

Thank you Daddy. That was a fun trip.

Thank you for this. It meant so much to be a part of Richards final journey 🙏

What a lovely video. Thank you for sharing

What do Suzuki say about the screen? Any cruiser versions available?

Thanks, very entertaining as usual :-D Cheers have a good one!

I just bought the GT plus and the bike came with both windscreens and rear covers if I want to swap the pannier mounts and have a cleaner look.

Seriously? At 5’11 you cant reach the cruise control when i can easily access it and I’m 5’5? Bruh?

What a great review, very well done,thanks 🏍🏍👍👍

That foot cam is horrible man. Great bike

I took delivery of mine 1 week ago. I've owned a Hayabusa, FJR and others. The Suzi is nimble, smooth and fast.

Glad to see someone else needs a bit of extra comfort on the seat 👍

You drive way too slow

I'm around 1.77mm tall with a 76cm inseam and tried a standard T700 yesterday and felt far more comfortable than I used to in my early 650 Africa Twin so even though this bike is taller you have a longer inseam than I do so should be OK

Hello!. Thanks for the video, it provides a lot of information. I wanted to ask if a person of 1.77 meters tall could safely reach the ground on this bike, I think it would be a problem for me not to be able to safely reach the ground. Thanks and best regards!.

I use the heated grips quite often once the roads dry out after winter , and the for price with the side cases, top box ability and the heated grips with active suspension all come as standard with the tracer GT , add all the manufactures own on the GSX and i bet that's over £1000 on top of a new tracer, i would imagine if they have the time they may look into other manufacturers

Awesome review.. Just bought it, taking delivery tomorrow.. Kolkata, India.

I loved this video! Thank you. It's very emotional to see both of you on the road

There's another thing I've seen people knock on the bike and the 1000 and it being the revamped K5 gixxer engines--- guys what do you think lasts longer--- a newer, stressed parallel twin putting out similar power or a proven bullet proof 4 cyl that's now understressed? lol There's gixxer 750s from the 00s still around with 75k miles on em and that's with the engine being full power. On the GSXS that engine will last 100k and it's smoother than those snatchy twins and 3 cyl. I again like the idea that regular street riders and non professionals can maximize the diff in performance in various 115 hp engines lol.

I own one and am extremely happy with it and I am an experienced rider. This is not a beginners bike-- this bike isn't a litre bike scream machine but it does derive obviously from the GSXR750 and is accordingly very quick. For a solid intermediate and up rider tho this is the perfect all around street bike--- maintenance is low, handles amazing, super smooth engine I mean just cruises at 85 no vibration on the highway and accelerates beautifully w/great sound, super good brakes, nice clutch pull. There's your underpowered R7 right.... then you're insane overpowered modern hypernaked and litre bikes--- this one's just right + it gets compliments everywhere because it looks cool. I'd also say GSXS1000 is a good buy if you must have more power, but as an experienced rider that rides quite spirited in the CA twisty roads I can tell you that you won't need much more power than the 750 to have fun. Only place you'd use the 1000 extra power is on hard highway pulls and the track and most of you likely don't even have the skill to really maximize it. But, the 1000 is a good bike too.

Lovely video, an inspirational guy. Glad he found Dunnington; I mentioned it to him on FB; it's a regular route of mine.

Emotional. Inspirational

Beautiful video!
