Thanks for flogging it and letting us know that it's the top dog. Sometimes I hate reviews because no one wants to make a solid statement about how the bikes in the segment truly compare to each other and which one is best. Then you watch countless reviewers with little to no skill ( or maybe it's fear of crashing a demo bike) ride around and never say anything of value because they're scared to lean the bike. I love the way you touch the peg down briefly and then go back for more ! Thank you very much !
@Schaaf

Thanks for appreciating! Most reviews don't make these clear statements because the reviewers don't want to anger the manufacturers who provide them with bikes. I'm in the lucky position that I work for a motorcycle magazine that lets me use their demo bikes for my own channel. The marketing people from the manufacturers don't watch my videos and therefore don't complain. I'm in a situation where I can't choose the bikes I get to ride but at least I can talk without having to be diplomatic.

I'm honestly really surprised! I thought Suzuki basically had a fluke with the SV, and now that they're replacing it, they would lose the magic that it makes it so great. But to hear such high praise from someone who's experienced so many bikes in this category is really inspiring. Btw, is there any update on the Little Honda™? It's been a few years since we've seen it on the channel, and I just hope it's doing alright. If there was a post about it, I must've missed it somewhere.

Thanks Banshee! Here's your Little Honda update: She's been parked in a dry and warm garage for almost 3 years now. She is all good but would need a carburetor clean-up and MOT to be road-legal again. The little spare time in my life which I have left for motorcycles I use almost 100% on making my RAW videos. But ideally with bikes that haven't been featured on my channel yet since I'm obsessed with creating a catalogue of Onboard videos on here that features as many different bikes as possible. Getting the CB500 back on the road simply has not a high enough priority for me since I don't have the time to ride it anyway. But one day, maybe next year or maybe in 10, I'll get her back on the road and make one more wideo with it.

Yesterday I actually got to test it myself and I agree with your assessment. I was surprised how easy it was to ride. You sit on that thing like it is your bike. Also it felt quite light and nimble to me altough it weights slightly over 200kg. As you said, soundwise there is just not much going on and that really takes away from the riding experience but I'm confident that the aftermarket will take care of that. Good package, one I would recommend to a lot of ppl.

The 8S is about €100 more expensive than the Hornet with quickshifter in the Czech Republic. I am a little bit sceptical about sales based on performance numbers it offers. Lets be honest, look and specification sell the bike. Dealers of Suzuki do not offer riding days like competitors, so not many people will have opportunity to try 8S.

It's my educated assumption that this 8S has been held back a bit in the ECU. With throttle by wire, manufacturers typically pull back the throttle at the high rpm as much as 30%. In other words, your wrist might be held right to the stop, but the computer is controlling the throttlebody and reduces power at pre-programmed RPM in the ECU. Only way to allow the engine the full beans is ECU flashing.

But i think i understand why Suzuki went with a completely new model.

I hope suzuki keeps the SV in production. From my couch, it looks like the 8s is targeting a slightly different customer - younger, peeking at the MT-07, Hornet, but someone in their forties may not identify with the modern design and compact frame... and there's a engine size and power difference. Otherwise, I think the SV's development costs have long been paid for, hence the great price - for someone looking for a second bike to ride around town, it's the perfect moto-slave.

Hey Schaaf, what intensity ND filter are you using on your GoPro? ND16 or ND32? Footage looks awesome as always. Also chest mount or chin mount?

Conflicted feelings from Suzuki as always. I own a Vstrom 650 and it's an amazing bike for its purpose. However I'd go for something a little more exciting in this category. Pricing is very attractive, it must be said.

How does it compare to the F900R? I know the BMW has over 100cc more displacement, so perhaps it's not quite a fair comparison. Love your videos, by the way!

I haven't ridden the 900R for a very long time so I can't say. But I do know that here in Austria the F900R is probably the worst option you can get when it comes to value for money

Hello. Pro sound engineer here. I've always been intrigued by your recording setups and the immersive quality of the audio. But don't use this position, IMHO. It's rattling in the bag, there's a fair bit of wind noise, and I think you've high passed it (assuming, to manage wind noise) to the point where all the lovely juicy bottom end is gone.

I am undecided on what to buy, this Suzuki or add 1500€ and get a Kawasaki Z900. I've always had enduro bikes from 50cc, 125cc and now I still own a KTM 300 exc, for the last year I've also owned an old Transalp 650 but now I'd like to switch to a more purely road bike and for now I've narrowed it down to these two models and the Triumph street triple 765 R. I'm almost 30 years old and I drive quite slowly, I don't race much on the road, I don't think I still have the skills and I'm quite a cautious and conscientious person so I think the Suzuki might have enough power for me but I wouldn't want to change it for something more powerful after a short time. I don't think it's necessary to have the 120hp of the Z900 on the road but the feeling of having a powerful machine in your hands is still nice. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks.

IMO get the Suzi for your style. Triumph ist more of race bike that you have to rev Out. Don't be fooled by the 83hp of the Suzuki. It hast tons of torque and feels like much more than the number

I am starting to really like the gsx8s. Currently i own an sv650 and i want something more planted in corners something less wobbly. Do you think this would be a great bike to get or should i class up something like mt09 (dont have budget for SP since no used ones are selling) or like Z900 (se) these 3 bikes are on my mind. I dont want a liter bike i think it might be to much for me and also most of those cost more than 10k euros (tried finding used street tripple but they dont exist here lol) Edit: oh and i tend to ride 2up but less aggressive of course

@@Schaaf I don´t think so... the middle silencer is very big and you probably only get to change the muffler which doen´t seem to do that much. GSX S1000 owners share the same problem but the orginal S1000 muffler is way bigger. Not asingle company has released an aftermarket muffler until now
