2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT

The 2024 GSX-S1000GT intelligently combines the championship performance of its GSX-R1000-based engine with a nimble, lightweight chassis to provide riders with an exciting and comfortable GT riding experience. Here is a Grand Tourer with sportbike level functionality, avantgarde styling, and an extensive selection of optional equipment like truly functional, integrated side cases.

Ready to go the distance, the GSX-S1000GT has revitalized sport touring. It is as if the GT itself understands what performance-minded touring enthusiasts desire, whether heading out on a long trip with a passenger on board or enjoying a sporty solo romp up a twisty ribbon of asphalt. The GSX-S1000GT’s performance is a revelation, its appearance breathtaking, and the Suzuki mySPIN connectivity application integrated into the full-color TFT instrument panel provides easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.

Features may include:

Ready to split the wind, the full fairing sets the standard for aerodynamics and rider wind protection in the sport touring category. The dual mono-focus LED headlights and V shaped LED position light creates a distinctive appearance and great illumination. With, or without the optional side cases and touring windscreen in place, the GSX-S1000GT is the performance standard in the Grand Tourer category.

Worldwide emissions-compliant, the 999cc, GSX-R-based engine has increased peak power, with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that’s smoothly controlled by new, Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies, for a Grand Touring experience that’s extraordinary.

• ENGINE

The GSX-S1000GT’s long-stroke GSX-R engine has been refined to produce a broad, smooth torque curve through the full rev-range, with impressive peak horsepower.

The GSX-S1000GT provides predictable and controllable throttle response, with abundant top-end power to provide the rider an exciting riding experience.

• TRANSMISSION

Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GT's race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

The latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch is fitted to the GSX-S1000GT. More than ever before, the SCAS clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.

• CHASSIS

Suzuki’s proven, twin-spar aluminum frame helps to ensure nimble handling and great road holding ability. The main spars are positioned straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, which promotes higher rigidity and lighter weight.

Connected to the swingarm is a link-type rear suspension, with a single shock absorber that features seven-way adjustable spring preload with rebound-damping force adjustment.

• BODY & STYLING

The shape of the upper and lower fairing effectively moves the wind flow away from the rider, reducing direct pressure to the rider’s helmet, shoulders, and knees.

Wind-tunnel testing and test-rider feedback yielded a special lower-fork bracket cover that extends up into the fairing to deflect air flow that would otherwise whirl up around the instrument panel and rider.
