What’s going on guys will commit to Mountain motor swords. this time in Roswell for the first ride of the 2017 Suzuki GSX R1000. A brand new model that just came out this one should be really good. Let’s get aside all righty ladies and gents the long awaited I’ve been early slowed this year to get the first revs up. I’m finally getting on the Suzuki GSX R1000 this is not a double our model as a regular model. It does have what is that a Yoshi pipe so things to note so I did like a spec breakdown of this bike. It didn’t have a battery in it but this is what the tach looks like now. Let’s get this thing cranked though real quick because I’m excited.
We’re starting in C mode lowest mode traction control we going to mode button. I just press up it’s fair enough what can I go down to good. The 10 traction control modes 11 if you consider being off. I think you can go off. We’ll stay in C mode how do you wait? How do you change the main mode? Do you just hold the mode button? You hold the mode button and then you can go ABC will turn that off. See this thing as far as I got I’m leaning over a lot. They don’t have an aggressive body position as some like r6 or a CBR. This would be pretty aggressive you still do have that stereotypical. I want to see how to break as far as height my legs are slightly bent and I cannot flat foot it. It’s all the good things about the Dickson’s that are supersport that you can flat foot. Now it is a five-pin like me and it helps out a lot I know that break is better than that. It’s so squishy that almost feels like there’s like air in the line or something. It travels before it engages that’s the same I don’t remember if earlier jigs or models have it.
You know when I rode the 2015 r1 it was like it’s got an IMU and all these measuring things. Make sure you calculate it how far over you’re leaning and all this kind of stuff. It should be it’s a pretty technologically advanced Vikings. This I guess not advanced from last year one very interesting thing has an easy start assist. Now if you saw my spec breakdown of this bike I’m like you put easy start assist on 1000. All right so I’ll test it when I’m not in traffic is that sounds like a terrible idea. Easy start assist basically makes it so harder to stall. We know you might have a problem starting the bike so we’re going to go ahead and help you with that. Hypothetically the bike should be harder to stall. It’s also very hard to break which is not a good thing. I’m happy that the bike is very easy to get into neutral. The mirrors are easily adjusted and I think they took off the indicators on the meters.
I always like the mirrors because they had that integrated and they don’t have it anymore. I’m sad I let’s start off slow because we don’t know how to ride. I read on my spec breakdown about this bike. Suzuki says that it has more mid-range and low-end torque till I get you going and then obviously has an expected high-end torque. I’m interested to get a thing in a different mode and see like when I get on the highway. I’m definitely interested in taking that out and if I get another red light. I swear to God so I feel like they brake is solid but you just got a big cushion. We’re stomp let’s get the mode changed we’ll put it in B mode. Significantly different than our fee mode is wondering if you’re a fan of the wreck bike rebuild series.
Probably know is both of them b-mode now feels like a mode so I’m really interested in what a mode is going to feel like. I will go ahead and let you guys know don’t expect me to change the texture control. My first rides are for like your daily use they’re not for track use. I really don’t think I’m going to be able to feel the different levels of traction control. I can complete the hell is that I will say that Yoshi pipe. It’s going to sound terrible as a motorcycle if it’s a little too loud for me. I kind of have grown out of the loud pipes situation I would rather have a like a low deep pipe that makes sense. I don’t know if it does so in C mode when I started going I didn’t really feel like it had that you know new upgraded low-end and mid-range.
I put that thing into B mode and I get shocked you know halfway through on the acceleration. We’re not going to full throttle or anything I just want to get on it a little bit kind of get a feel for it. I was chilling easy start mode I give that’s impressive it’s so weird. I know you ride these bikes in and if you ride super sports for long enough this kind of expectation where you low in the revs. You’re gonna have to feed it a little bit it some gas and eventually the internal it will pick up and start taking you. This is ruin food and I’m in B mode I am excited for a mode in the highway because that should be glorious. I really get a red light again because I have got to change this into a mode before we get into the highway.
A little odd that saying is the blinker it’s a little weird it’s a little too easy to flick it there’s a lot of resistance. Let’s get this thing into a mode because we’re testing it. I’m a video journalist that is just trying to remember this motorcycle for everything it can possibly be. I passed the Rev I got to admit when I first saw the diction Alia that looks better than the old one. The more I look at this bike the more I don’t want to say I’m falling for it. The more I’m getting ok with it I am let down about the mirrors. I’m not going to lie I that’s kind of a letdown that’s one of the things I really liked about. What’s odd is the r6 just put that on our six has just added the integrated mirrors. It’s like Yamaha picked it up and Suzuki dropped it off.
