And perhaps we should acknowledge, if you bow down to the God of Speed, go see the PTR Suzuki 1200 kit and do that. But for the $, the Suzuki rules and neither of these faster bikes will go 200 miles on a tank. So if you plan on putting your bike on the clock, and that's what matters go buy it. To me that's it, excluding the cruise control on the '17 mode. But for the difference in price, the KTM, for example, will go another 5-6 mph in the quarter mile, possibly go that much faster on top end.and it comes with stainless steel brake lines. Yes they make more power and yes they cost more. If someone is displeased with the GSXS state of tune, there are easy solutions available: its called a Super Duke 1290 or an 1100 Tuono Aprilia or S1000R BMW. I've had "race motor" type bikes and they are unpleasant and unhappy unless on 3/4-full throttle. I like the fact the GSXS is based on the GIXER motor and I like the way it is "tuned" or "detuned" or whatever you call it. Of course, you'll survive, but who wants to survive? Lets make it the best way we can. Its more like going to a expensive steak dinner and having them cook the steak well done instead of how you ordered it. Its not like it completely ruins the machine, and I dont mean it in that way at all. The fueling on that bike was so brilliant, it just worked. If soemoen bought this bike, set up like an 05/06, and found it too powerful, and too responsive, they could open the throttle less. I understand emissions requirements being different, but many other bikes fuel correctly and meet requirements. Suzuki took an engine that will be remembered as one of the best, and turned it into something rather ordinary. It was never highly stressed, or difficult to manage. In fact, the 05 fuels much better, down low, and is far easier and more pleasant to ride. If Suzuki gained something, fine, but they did not. If you ever rode a 2005, or 06 gsxr 1000, you would realize there was no good reason to re-tune this machine. In fact, we might just as well trade these big 1000's for Kawasaki ninja 650's when you go down this road. I believe that de-tuned means a very long reliable engine life for this bike and i am happy about that because I have no plans to ever sell it. I personally find 140 hp in the GSXS package is a really potent mix, this is not a naked RSV4 Aprilla or BMW 1000 RR, it is a bike built to a budget that delivers and punches way above it's weight, in my humble opinion,and as such and within the design and intended rider parameters, Suzuki has nailed it. ![]() I am not a mechanic and don't have any particular knowledge of engines other than owning and riding many many different bikes over the last 47 yrs since my first one back in 1969.I take the detune idea to be that the motor isĢ does not need to rev to outer space to be in the sweet spotģ delivers punch via torque down low in the rev rangeĤ is easy to ride in real world everyday riding due to points 1,2,3,ĥ HP is not the be all all and end all of a good all round motorbike One owner expressed his opinion that Suzuki was wrong and had made a mistake in detuning the old K5 motor that the GSXS is based on, down to a paltry 140 hp. Just curious as to what various owners understand or think as to the expression ''detuned''.
