PERFORMANCE DISTANCE CONNECTION

POWER YOUR JOURNEY

The high performance, 999cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline-four cylinder engine that powers the GSX-S1000GT has been engineered to perform optimally in all types of riding conditions, whether touring over long distances or out for a sporty run, all while meeting Euro 5 emissions standards.

COLOUR TFT DISPLAY AND SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY

The GSX-S1000GT display keeps you fully aware of all the bike’s systems, settings and real-time operating status. And when connected to the rider’s smartphone it can also display maps, incoming and outgoing phone calls, contacts, and music for even greater convenience, functionality and fun.

GOING THE DISTANCE

Despite their spacious 36 litre capacity, these optional Genuine Accessory side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the GT’s sharp, futuristic looks. Each is capable of accommodating a full-face helmet and features a quick-release key mechanism for easy mounting and removal. Meanwhile a 19 litre capacity fuel tank combines with the engine’s excellent 46.3 MPG fuel efficiency to bring the rider greater peace of mind by giving the GT superior touring range.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICKSHIFT SYSTEM

The bi-directional quickshifter enables the rider to shift up or down without operating the clutch. As standard equipment, this feature enhances the riding experience and reduces fatigue. When activated, the system automatically interrupts power delivery when accelerating just long enough to unload the transmission, thereby producing smoother, almost uninterrupted acceleration when the rider shifts up.

When decelerating, without manually blipping the throttle or using the clutch, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio. The result of this hands-free automatic blipping function combines seamlessly with engine braking to create a highly satisfying experience when the rider downshifts

SUZUKI TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (STCS) AND SUZUKI DRIVE MODE SELECTOR (SDMS)

The GT is equipped with STCS with a selection of five modes (plus off) . The fine incremental control over settings allows the system to better fit the riding conditions in which the machine finds itself, whether riding alone or with a pillion, whether carrying luggage, or riding in inclement weather. This in turn instils greater confidence in the rider, regardless of experience, while reducing stress and fatigue.

SDMS fully leverages the electronic throttle control system to offer a choice between three modes that deliver different power output characteristics to match the road conditions, or preferred riding style for any given outing. The settings for each of the three modes were tuned and thoroughly tested to maximise the GT’s capabilities as a sports touring machine, and to build in the flexibility to adapt well to changing weather, road and riding conditions and make the overall GT experience more enjoyable.
