2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Dual Sport reviews

The GSXR is the most outstanding bike ever made. It has the power, agility, performance, and good looks unmatched by none. It's in a class all it's own. Every time I get on it and ride-it puts a smile on my face. I'm 42 and it's like being a kid in a candy store. I've owned all styles, makes, and models. This bike is flat out the best there is.

This bike is just flat out awesome! Plenty of power and superior handling. I almost brought a ZX-10 until I found my black and yellow gixxer. Bottom line - this bike is the one. I would highly recommend this bike. Show less

I bought my GSXR1000K5 the first week it hit the dealers floor. Furthermore, I have since bought an 06SV650S and more. Out of the box only few mods are needed front: brakes and a little suspension setup. This bike will do anything I ask of it and more. It is so over the head of an average rider it is crazy. A single Track day at Texas World Speedway can turn a fresh set of pilot races into molten lava. With this bike and a good set of race tires you will be dragging everything from your footpegs to the side of your rims. Thus the next mod = rearset!!! Go back to the track and you discover you can push the front end all over the place. The power is just stupid. A VERY steady and tamed hand is required or you will be in for a rearseat removal next service day. You can't go wrong with this bike but please this is not for beginners, it will kill you. I have 25 years of riding under my belt on the street and more. If I had this when I was 20 I would of never seen 21. Good luck, it is not tamable unless your name is Spies. Show less

What can I say? This is one of the best track tools out there. Every Sunday it's to the track and this machine offers razor sharp handling, instant acceleration, and lots of admiring looks. I also own the Hayabusa for sport touring but the GSX-R1000 takes the cake at the track. Guaranteed to put a huge smile on your face every time. Show less

This bike is as comfortable (I use that loosely) as a sport bike is going to get. I commute and play on the weekends with this bike. I bought it in June, have put over 15000 miles on it and the horses continue to climb! No issues with the engine what so ever. Stock it handles just like a 750 in corners, I just wish the suspension was a little more "nice" best bike out of the crate. Show less

I made my purchase with the 2005 Gixxer yellow/black. The ladies love it and other riders are jealous of it. The ride is awesome, it's better than jumping out a helicopter, trust me, I do it for a living. This is the best choice I made since the gas prices went up and they aren't going down. The bike is overall the best in it's class and on the street. Style, performance, class, and a little bit of luxury for the ladies. Suzuki is a god. Show less

It's just so much power no matter what gear your in and the handling is great. Show less

GREAT BIKE..WAY BETTER THAN MY 2004 GSX-R1000. I LOVE THE ACCELERATION BUT I WISH THE BRAKES WERE A LITTLE TIGHTER. CORNERS GREAT, GETS A LOT OF LOOKERS. Show less

This is by far the baddest most rediculously overpowered machine I have ever ridden. This bike screams out of the box. Only complaints I have are the 186 mph speed limiter and the bike could use a gel seat for those longer rides sometimes. This bike is very controllable on one wheel and stable everywhere else. Not to mention it is by far the best looking bike out this year. Show less

I bought my GSX-R1000 K5 back in March and have been riding very hard. This thing is a monster. My riding partner just got an 05 R1, and he has been riding for about 12 years. Let me tell you something, I blow him outta the water like he is standing still. I will give any bike a head start, and blow by you at 110mph with my front wheel in the air giving you a big grin. Just try and keep up with this beast... Show less
