Suzuki GSX S1000 GT Design with Images

• Before starting this interesting review I want to say that I have already uploaded a review.
• The review of the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX is the only rival of our Suzuki GSX S1000 GT.
• Suzuki and Kawasaki have updated their sports touring bikes.
• And they have added new designs and features to the bike to make it more versatile.
• Whereas Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX is available in India & Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT is about to launch.

• So let’s talk about these touring bikes and compare them with each other.
• First Suzuki discontinued the GSX-S1000F and launched a new GSX S1000GT.
• The nice thing about this new bike is it has completely new aerodynamic bodywork.
• And Suzuki GSX S1000GT looks absolutely fantastic & I am in love with its stunning design.
• The striking new front cowling combines the protruding nose & dual LED headlights.
• And there is a v-shaped LED Day Time Running light between headlights looks fantastic.

• On the previous bike like the 2018 Suzuki GSX S1000F side mirrors are mounted on the handlebar.
• But in 2022 Suzuki GSX S1000 GT gets a new mirror bolted on the front cowl enhancing its dynamic look.
• No matter what angle you are looking at the bike looks dynamic even at a standstill.
• A similar case is with the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX it also looks dynamic as well as sporty.
• Apart from that, to enhance riding comfort a large aerodynamic windscreen comes with this bike.
• Although this windscreen is not adjustable Suzuki is offering more large windscreens as an accessory.

• To suit rider needs, but this is not the case with the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.
• The large windscreen of Ninja 1000SX can be adjustable in up to 4-ways.
• As I said at the start of this blog that a touring bike needs to be aerodynamic.
• So as you can see in the images that I have posted the bike has lots of Sharpe lines, cuts, and creases.
• Absolutely complex bodywork it’s from front to rear every panel is designed to be aerodynamic.
• And side fairings are not covering the engine entirely and living lots of space to let the hot air pass.

• But one thing I appreciate about Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is no large saree guard and tube-type ugly grab rail is there.
• I have seen many bikes of Kawasaki like the Ninja 300, Ninja 400, Ninja 650, and Ninja 1000SX.

• Instead of this, you will get a well-designed grab rail for pillion comfort.

• Speaking of comfort seats, are designed well and nicely padded to keep you in comfort.
• Now let’s sit on the bike, as you place your foot on the footpegs you will notice rubber is installed over it.
• These aluminum pegs of both the rider and passenger footrest are covered with vibration-absorbing

• This reduces the amount of vibration transmitted to the feet, which in turn lessens fatigue, especially on long rides.
• So seats are comfortable, footpegs are in an ergonomic position, and the handlebar is positioned high.
• But Suzuki GSX S1000 It is fitted with tube type handlebar whereas Ninja 1000SX is fitted with Clip-on Handlebar.
• I like the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX handlebar because it looks sporty and gives good control over the bike.
• And there are other elements that you get just like Ninja 1000SX.

• Its large 6.5” Full-Color TFT Display shows lots of information about bikes.
• And Suzuki’s GSX-X1000 GT display is more significant than Kawasaki’s 1000SX 4.2” TFT Display.
• Besides this, Suzuki said that this TFT display has an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.
• Also, this TFT display has scratch resistance & brightness is adjustable with Day/Night display themes.

• To control the display features switches are placed on the left handlebar.
• There is a dedicated USB outlet on the left side of the screen to keep your gadget charged throughout your journey.
• And guys I have posted 20 plus HD images of the Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT so that you can see every detail of the bike.

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Colors

• Our new GSX-S1000 GT is available in only two colors Metallic Triton Blue, Metallic Reflective Blue & Gloss Sparkle Black Color.
• Both these blue color shades look decent and enhance visibility from afar.
• But the company should offer more colors and I personally like the Metallic Triton Blue color.
• Besides this, I have posted several images of both blue color shades in this blog.

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Specs

• We have talked a lot of things about GSX-S1000GT design and features.
• But without a powerful engine, a touring bike can’t perform well on the road.

• So the heart of the new GSX-S1000GT is a 999 cc 4-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled engine.
• This engine is based on the same engine that powered the Suzuki litre-class sport bike GSX-R1000.
• This 999 cc engine delivers a healthy 152 PS (112 KW) of power and 106 NM of torque.
• Helping this engine is a six-speed close-ratio transmission that features a vertically staggered shaft to reduce overall engine length.
• A bi-directional Quick Shifter and Slipper clutch offers a smooth shift to make the ride more comfortable.

• 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 increased peak horsepower.
• The GSX-S1000GT provides predictable & controllable throttle response.
• With abundant top-end power to provide riders with an exciting riding experience.
• The new camshaft profiles decrease lift and valve overlap not only to improve emissions.

• But balance the engine performance and drivability while enhancing rider control.
• Besides this, new valve springs are calibrated to a new camshaft to aid performance & improve durability.
• This bike also has Suzuki’s Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design is machined into the cylinder head.
• That with the flat-top piston can achieve a 12.2:1 compression ratio that helps deliver a broad spread of power.
• Besides this, new electronic throttle bodies are used on the GSX-S1000GT.
• So that engine offeres smooth and controlled response especially when the rider is applying throttle to accelerate of a corner.

• A Long-tip 10-hole fuel injector on each throttle body improves fuel atomization.
• While the automatic idle speed control (ISC) improves cold starting & stabilizes the engine idle.
• Whereas air cleaner’s external shape is changed to accommodate the larger capacity fuel tank (5.0 US Gallons)
• A big four-cylinder engine heats a lot especially when we ride it in city traffic.
• But in this bike lower radiator shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity, curved radiator.
• A thermostatically controlled cooling fan helps ensure lower coolant temperature.
• When riding in slow-moving traffic. The design also deflects hot air away from the rider at high speed.
• Although GSX-S1000GT is not launched yet in India you can expect 46.5 MPG (18.4 kmpl) mileage from it.

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Seat Height

• Duty of a touring bike that is designed especially should offer a good riding position.
• The Suzuki GSX S1000GT seat height is 810 mm whereas Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX has an 835 mm seat height.
• So it will be easier for a short rider to rest both feet on the ground while sitting on the bike on our GSX-S1000GT.
• Besides this company have to find the optimum riding position for the riding.
• By adjusting the handlebar grips 14mm closer to the rider than the previous GSX-S1000F.
• The new tapered handlebars are also lengthened to achieve a 23mm wider grip placement.
• In addition, it makes the bar more comfortable to hold and gives the rider great control over the bike with minimum effort.

Suzuki GSX S1000 Suspensions & Brakes

• The GT is equipped with top-of-the-line radial-mounted Brembo Monobloc calipers.
• The calipers each have for opposed Ø 32mm piston acting on a Ø310mm floating-mount disc for strong stopping power.
• An antilock braking system (ABS) helps the rider stay in directional control even during hard braking.
• The system is programmed to monitor wheel speed and match stopping power to the available traction.
• Talking about suspension the Ø43 mm KYB inverted forks feature 120 mm of wheel travel.
• And fully adjustable damping, rebound, compression, and spring pre-load setting.
• At the rear, the link-type suspension boasts 130 mm of rear wheel travel with adjustable rebound damping.
• And spring pre-load settings that react efficiently to varying road surfaces to maintain an agile and stable feel.
• The suspension setting was thoroughly tested and tuned to optimize to suit the new Dunlop SPORTMAX 2 tires.
• Achieving nimbler handling and improved steering into corners.

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Mileage

• As I said new Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is not launched yet in India.
• So it’s really difficult to assure about the mileage of the bike.
• But I have some real-world test figures tested by the international riders.
• The side Suzuki GSX-S1000GT delivered 46.5 MPG (18.4 kmpl) mileage.
• But if you ride economically on the highway you can expect over 20 kmpl of mileage.

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Top speed

• These touring bikes are not designed to hit maximum top speed.
• Because practically it’s quite impossible to ride at max speed often on the road.
• If you are mad about top speed then I would suggest the ultimate Suzuki Hayabusa and Ninja H2R.
• And Suzuki GSX S1000GT delivered 233 kmph top speed without any problem & it’s great.

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT Specifications

Suzuki GSX S1000GT Dimensions

Suzuki gsx s1000 accessories

• The Company is offering a couple of accessories to enhance riding comfort.
• And also check the price of each accessory but GSX-S1000GT is not available in India.

 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT Expert Opinion

• Now as we are heading toward the end of this blog I came up with an answer.
• Yes Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is a great touring bike & offers a sporty design and rides to the customer.
• And there is another bike Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX that also similar performance.
• Both the bikes are great and it’s difficult to choose one of them but the GSX-S1000Gt is slightly more advanced than Ninja 1000SX.

Why these touring bikes are not popular in India?

• In my opinion, people are more interested in buying BMW R1250 GS, Ducati Multistrada & BMW G310 GS.
• Because these bikes are more off-road focused and have high ground clearance.
• And Ninja 1000SX and GSX-S1000GT are designed for cruising on the highway.
• But bikes like BMW R1250 are expensive bikes so people with low budgets.
• Buying Royal Enfield Himalayan, GT-650 & KTM 250 adventure

I Like

• Design.
• Comfort.
• Affordable.

I don’t like

• Low Ground Clearance.

In this blog, I have tried to give information as much as possible.

Please don’t forget to share with your friends.

Thank You
