Alright, let’s talk about this gsx s1000f thing, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, huh? I ain’t no expert, but I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I know how to say it.
So, what is this gsx s1000f anyway?
Well, from what I gather, it’s one of them motor-sickles. You know, the kind them young fellas ride around on, making all that noise. Seems like this one’s a pretty powerful one too. They say it’s got a big engine, like, a 999cc thingy. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds like a whole lotta somethin’.
How much oomph does it got?
They say it’s got somethin’ like 144 horses. Horses? In a motor-sickle? Go figure. But yeah, 144 of them, at somethin’ they call 10,000 rpm. And then there’s this torque thing, 105.75 of them at 9,500 rpm. Sounds like a whole lotta twisting and turning to me. Enough to get you goin’ real fast, that’s for sure.
- Engine: 999cc, somethin’ they call an in-line four
- Power: 144 bhp at 10,000 rpm
- Torque: 105.75 Nm at 9,500 rpm
Is it better than other motor-sickles?
Now, that’s where it gets tricky. There’s all sorts of motor-sickles out there, see? They got this other one, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000. Folks compare these two a lot. Seems like they both got about the same amount of get-up-and-go, and they cost about the same too, somethin’ like 11… Eleven what? Eleven hundred? Eleven thousand? They don’t say. Anyways, it’s a lot of money for somethin’ that just goes zoom zoom.
What about fancy features?
This gsx s1000f, it’s got somethin’ they call traction control. Sounds fancy, right? Like it keeps you from skiddin’ all over the place. It’s got four different settings, for when you’re ridin’ on the street or when you’re tryin’ to be all sporty and go fast. And get this, it’s got this clutch thingy that makes shiftin’ gears real smooth, whether you’re usin’ your foot or this quick shift thing. I ain’t never seen a motor-sickle that shifts gears on its own, but I guess that’s what they do now.
Is it worth the money?
Now, that’s the million dollar question, ain’t it? Some folks say it’s too expensive. They say you can get somethin’ just as good for less. But then other folks, they swear by it. They say it’s the best darn motor-sickle they ever rode. Me? I ain’t got no dog in this fight. I’m just tellin’ you what I heard. But from what I can tell, if you got the money and you want somethin’ fast and powerful, this gsx s1000f might just be the ticket.
What’s the difference between all these gsx things?
Heard tell there’s a whole bunch of ’em. There’s the gsx s1000, and then there’s this gsx s1000f we’re talkin’ about, and now they even got a gsx s950. But don’t let that 950 fool ya, it’s still got the same big engine as the 1000. Same frame, same swingarm, same everything pretty much. Just a different name, I reckon. And then there’s this GT model, with all the fixin’s for tourin’. Bags on the side and all that. Sounds like you could pack a whole lotta stuff on that one, maybe even a picnic basket.
Final thoughts?
Well, that’s about all I know about this gsx s1000f. It’s a powerful motor-sickle, that’s for sure. Got a lot of fancy features, and it costs a pretty penny. Whether it’s worth it or not, that’s up to you to decide. Me? I’ll stick to my old bicycle. It’s a whole lot cheaper, and it don’t go near as fast. And that’s just fine by me.
Remember, always be careful when ridin’ them motor-sickles. Wear a helmet and all that. And don’t go too fast, you hear?
