A real-world touring review (part one) has been published covering a solo 1,000km-a-day ride on Suzuki's large sport tourer, the GSX-S1000GT. Framed around the idea that a motorcycle is fundamentally a solitary machine, the piece recounts a true story of how that lonely vehicle led to a 'miraculous connection' on the road. It's a travelogue conveying long-distance comfort alongside the particular romance of riding solo.

I deeply agree with the line 'a motorcycle is a solo vehicle.' 1000km in a day on a GSX-S1000GT — encounters are born exactly within that solitude. Spreading out a map and choosing the next road, that quiet moment is the true substance of a journey. A bike that doesn't make long distances a chore lets you savor that time fully. Sounds like a great companion.

Isn't a 1000cc tourer pretty rough to maneuver given the weight?

For the GSX-S1000GT, would be helpful if they included actual measured fuel economy and cargo capacity too.

Says 1000km/day but curious how long that actually took including rest stops.

'A miraculous connection made on the road', that's the phrase that makes you read part one and want the sequel.

'The solitude and chance encounters of solo touring', that'll hit home for anyone who gets that feeling.

Says it can handle 1000km a day without strain, feels like the depth you'd expect from a GT.
