Suzuki GSX-R1000 reviews

I have ridden all of the sport bikes and this one stands out. The GSX-R is by far the most fun, most versatile and most comfortable of them all. I love the ability to adjust the foot pegs to cater to my style. The intake makes you grin all the more with its growl when you twist the grip. I also appreciate the fact that my headlight gives me great visibility at night; integrated turn signals, priceless. 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

It's the best bike you can buy, with its mental power and pinpoint handling. It's easy to ride with no drama even at high speeds. If you've got the minerals, you can beat any other vehicle on the road. This is a pure racer on the road with a top speed of 190 mph. with a long enough street. It's very light weight and is easy to throw about. The brakes are brilliant and the engine just loves to rev!!!!! Show less

I just put the first 500 miles on my GSX-R600 and I've enjoyed every one of them. I upgraded from a Ninja 250, which was a great starter bike, but it doesn't even compare to this. I'm looking forward to getting the first service done, so I can finish braking in the engine and see what this beast can really do. Show less

It's the best sportbike ever made. A few modifications made it the fastest bike on the road - even now in 2012! It's extremely comfortable, also! Show less

After two months and 2500 miles, the 2011 GSX-R600 has proven to be a good everyday ride averaging 50 mpg. (mostly freeway). It is stable in moderate rainfall, wind protection is good and the brakes work great. I'm not sure if the slipper clutch has ever needed to do its job. Previous bikes didn't have adjustable suspensions, so I'm still learning to tune the ride for the local conditions and my riding style. As delivered, the ride was acceptable. This bike is definitely more than I'll ever need, and it makes the daily commute more enjoyable. Show less

It's a great first bike. But after a few months you will want to make upgrades for more power. It handles great. Show less

I have bought various types of vehicles over the years from dirt bikes, quads, waverunners motorcycles and cars and this experience with the dealership I bought my Suzuki from was probably the most painless. They gave me the best price I could find, the process was a breeze from start to finish. There was no run around and no hidden surprises. I love the bike and would strongly recommend this establishment to anyone in the market for any type of vehicles they carry!! Show less

Although it's down on power next to the BMW and the ZX10, she will turn with the best of them. Get rid of the bulky exhaust and it's one of the best looking bikes around. Show less
