yeah its weird why they want to make a copy of mt-07 now out of all time it had been out..
but if it works, it works i guess

exactly my thought.. like no brainer z900 is the better choice.

this gsx-8s still cbu?

Well that explains the price.. but still really hard to compete with those other 2

No GSX-S750?
Are they stopping the production of that bike?

well that will be the last middleweight inline-4..
if buy now even second hand value can hold

true I guess but for a smaller bike to have almost the same power with z900.. its a shame they have to stop bringing it in
market already niche enough really hard to compete
so the remaining s750 owners now have a collectors edition bike (for malaysia)

I'm not really a fan of suzuki low RPM assist, kinda neat at first but later become annoying

If you are at gear 1 and let go of the throttle bike will become jumpy because the rpm trying to go up and down..
even my old z250 was smoother

its a GSX-S750 that I bought used
guess I need to get it checked then

No stalling at all?
That's impressive

is that so.. guess I'll have to live with it
now trying to get used to the vibration of it, riding at 8k+ rpm footpeg and handlebar vibrate like massaging machine

I'm not sure if my bike vibration is bad or normal.. might need second opinion on that
I'm also a lightweight person so I guess the vibration has higher impact on me

Hands and feet buzzing after 8k rpm, but the bike telling you to 'keep pulling that throttle'

Went to this test ride earlier today.
Tested both GSX-S1000 and the Katana.

Katana is the old model with no quickshifter and still with throttle cable.
Test ride at the NPE highway with mild traffic where you have to follow the marshal.

Initial impression is the torque on 1000cc pretty crazy..

Katana throttle also feel twitchy compared to S1000, really felt the difference between cable and ride by wire.

Both use the same K5 engine but somehow the S1000 feels smoother and less vibration compared to the Katana.

Gotta say Katana has the look but I felt more comfortable on the S1000 and the mecha look is growing on me.

You will also get a Suzuki tote bag with a t-shirt and notebook in it.
This is your chance to try a Hayabusa

about 6k rpm is i started feeling vibration on the katana on the seat and footpegs meanwhile s1000 only has smaller vibration at the footpegs at the same rpm
wonder if 2023 katana will have the comfort improved.. asked the guy at the shop and he said it will arrive next year.
hope they will put it up for test ride

Yeah managed to tried first gear pull for a short distance, I'm surprised I still came out alive after all that g-force

didn't redline... got traffic and I'm also scared

went through NPE but to get the maximum torque no need to redline
maximum torque at 9k rpm but at 8k rpm you already get 90% of it also

kasi can la, suzuki also want to try this segment

Suzuki announced 2 new bikes,
-GSX-S100GX like 1000GT but more upright and taller.


-GSX-8R, racing version of 8S


I like the looks of them, futuristic but not overly done like yamaha MTs

you just missed the test ride event at welly batu cave last week..
but maybe you could walk in there and ask if its possible to test ride it
another shop to ask is premium sportcycle at sunway

other bikes also got rebate
only gsx-s1000 no rebate.. i ask salesman this one already sold out
