From a super sports motorcycle to a touring sports motorcycle

The GSX-S1000F, which was redesigned in 2015, is a sports touring vehicle. It is equipped with a parallel four-cylinder engine of the 2005 model GSX-R1000, code-named K5, but the GSX-S1000F has a more comfortable driving posture and the ability to carry luggage.

The front shape is different from any Suzuki model!

Although the design concept of GSX-S1000GT is quite similar to that of the new GSX-S1000, the rich lines of the whole car create a technological atmosphere and a sense of the future. On the whole, it is different from the muscular and sharp style of the current Suzuki models. great.

Not to mention the shape of the front of the car, the GSX-S1000GT uses quite aggressive V-shaped positioning lights on the front of the car, with LED monofocal lights (made by KOITO) designed on the left and right sides, only the left near lights, When the far lights are turned on, both sides will light up together. At the same time, aerodynamic kits such as windshield are standard on the front part of the car, which effectively reduces the accumulation of fatigue of the rider during high-speed cruising.

The driving posture, sitting posture and pedal position are the same as those of the GSX-S1000F, only the handle position is 14mm closer to the rider, and the width is increased by 23mm. These changes allow the rider to adopt a more comfortable straight-back riding posture for the upper body.

In order to be more in line with the GT's touring characteristics, Suzuki focused more on the full-speed response in the engine's power curve tuning, and the output speed of maximum horsepower and torque were earlier than those of the GSX-S1000F.

In terms of frame, like the GSX-S1000, it adopts a newly designed aluminum alloy frame with a detachable lightweight sub-frame. Since it is modified based on the frame of a super sports car, it can be used in high-speed driving and handling. There is a good balance in flexibility and comfort.
