having had a slew of naked bikes (2 Bandit 1200s, 3 Z1000s, a Buell S1, Aprilia Tuono, Moto Guzzi Griso, SV650, and a few VMAXs) Probably more, just don't remember.

The GSXS1000 intrigues me.

Talk me out of buying one.


Go!

Hmmm, you need a change from all those nakeds... buy the GSX-S1000F instead

I've had my fair share of F style bikes too.

This is not the right place to talk you out of it

 

[swampass]

maybe because I don't want to be talked out of it.

 

[Jeckler]

Secretly, that's what he's hoping for.

Voila

And Voila 2 : - )

Do it, you know you want to.

You guys are terrible and dissuading me from buying one.


So, I picked out the burgundy and black model. Took delivery and off I went. The mirror was adjusted poorly so I stopped to adjust it with the tool kit. Once I took the seat off, I saw a huge tuft of what appeared to be yarn and seat foam. Removed the riders seat and sure enough..a giant mouse nest. Upon removal I saw the factory harness to the rectifier had been chewed and the Oem plugs as well. Went back to the dealer ship and after a bunch of apologies, had me off on the blue one about 30 minutes later.


Love it!

That's unfortunate. That you ended up with a blue one, that is. Enjoy. I paid for my red and black one a month ago and have been too busy to go pick it up. Go figure.

 

[thisisbenji]

Congrats! The blues better anyways!

 

[Beaker]

Fun bikes arn't they?
Enjoy!

I've had the 2nd, 3rd, and latest generations of the Z1000. I would pair this bike up to that one as a direct competitor. (and not the KTM and BMW) I like the looks of the latest generation Z1000 better. The Z1000 was much more sharper focused. Very stiff suspension. non-existent seat. Handled amazing on smooth roads. The GSXS is a little softer sprung, nicer seat, and quite a bit more motor. The Z1000 buzzed. The GSXS has a slight buzz through the frame/tank but your feet and hands feel none of it. This bike is a lot smoother than the Z. I haven't had a chance to really romp on it on a back road yet. I've only ridden it the 100 miles or so home from the dealer.
