2008 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Dual Sport reviews

I absolutely love the GSZ-R. It's comfortable, quick and gets lots of attention. I definitely suggest it to anyone looking for a bike. Show less

I've had this for four years now. It has excellent power and handling. It turns on a dime, leans easily. The only negative is long rides but it's not a tourer. I did 900 km. one day and wrist, back and derrier were numb. I did have trouble with ISC-V and replaced it. I check gixxer forums for issues with the ISC, regulator/rectifier and rough idle. It's apparently an issue with '07 and '08. Overall, I am happy with this baby. Show less

I have ridden all classes of motorcycles from the 600 to the 1300. I have ridden all in between as well. For the value, agility, power, speed and style, it all came down to one motorcycle for me, the GSX-R750, and I have not changed my mind one bit in the three years I've owned it. My only flaw I saw was the servo butterfly and the welded cats. Show less

This is a fantastic bike that is powerful and quick. The riding position is sufficient to spend a little time in the saddle without your rear end going to sleep. It slows significantly when you add a passenger, but single riding it is second to none. Show less

I went from a different company 500 to this elite Suzuki 600. The transition to this bike was easy. I did not use the mode selector except to understand its use. This bike has all its weight displaced so that it does not feel heavy. This bike is an eye catcher. Would suggest this bike to anyone new or old. Have Fun!!! Show less

All I know is if you have never ridden a GSX r600 get ready to hold on to your boot straps! This bike is some much fun and extremely comfortable to ride. My soon to be husband has now started looking for a bike. Show less

This bike is a monster. It is amazingly fast and nimble and the weight of the 1000 holds the front wheel down pretty well when nailing the throttle. It is very comfortable with two people. The looks are unbeatable. It is a much better design and looks package than other brands and it is faster. I would not recommend this for a novice, but if you want to go fast this is the bike for you. I can't wait to put many more miles on this bike. Show less

I bought this bike in May of 2008 and it was the best thing I did all year. My previous bike was a nice bike. But I broke my right hand and afterwards the vibrations from it made my hand go numb. I knew I needed another bike that would be smooth and fun to ride. The GSXR 1000 was hands down the best bike I rode! I test rode all the other brands and none of them were as fun or easy to ride. I have been riding for 20 years between dirt and street and I have never had more fun on 2 wheels. I would ask everyone to ride this bike before deciding on which bike to buy. Show less

I had a different brand of 250 for 3 months as my first bike. Then I got tired of it and bought this one. The transition from 250cc to 600cc was effortless thanks to the mode-selector on the GSX-R600. Although this bike is heavier than my previous one, in my opinion (bike-weight was particularly important for me), the weight distribution is better and it is easy to ride. I would definitely recommend this bike to beginners and veterans alike. Show less

There are not too many bikes in the 750 class and this is about the only choice available. This is a bike with plenty of horsepower, reasonably sane ergos for a sportbike, a decent price, and lower insurance costs than a liter bike. The GSXR 750 is easy to ride, fast and comfortable to live with. Handling is quick without being twitchy. Six months after purchasing it, I am very satisfied with my new ride. Show less
