VIDEO: Around The World On A Gixxer

November 2, 2017

If you were picking a bike to ride 74,000 miles around the world, a Suzuki GSX-R1000 probably wouldn’t be at the top of your shopping list.

But for Bruce Smart, there was only ever going to be one choice, his beloved sportsbike.

Since returning from his life-changing journey, Bruce has spent a lot of time collating all the video clips and photos from his trip, and earlier this year he released a brief video showcasing some of the highlights.

The video immediately went viral, and has since been viewed more than 4 million times on Facebook alone, hopefully inspiring many others to take on an adventure of their own.

If you’ve missed it, you can watch it below:

Bruce was sponsored by Japanese tyre manufacturer Bridgestone during his trip, showcasing not only the surprising versatility of his Gixxer but also Bridgestone’s sport touring rubber with their Battlax BT-023 and Battlax T30 rubber tackling some less than ideal road conditions.
