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.

PERFORMANCE AND COMFORTAgility, comfort, and riding pleasure were all design goals for creating this sports touring chassis. Every aspect reflects a focus on great handling and control in real-world conditions, such as riding with a pillion or carrying luggage, and to minimise rider fatigue when touring for long distances. Another major goal was to build the chassis to deliver the aggressive performance capabilities of a superbike-derived powerplant when heading out for sporty rides.³

SPORT TOURING ERGONOMICSAn upright riding position provides all-day-riding comfort, while wide-set rubber mounted handlebars and aluminium footrests with rubber inserts reduce vibration and fatigue. As well as aiding comfort, the handlebar position offers high levels of control and feel. Rider and pillion seats feature a sporty and attractive new design, covered in a material that provides positive grip. The rider's seat is also shaped to offer freedom of movement when enjoying a sporty ride. Special effort went into designing the thickness, shape and size of the pillion seat to maximise passenger comfort, and into designing the new grab bars at the back of the seat for comfort and ease of use.³

WIND-CUTTING AERODYNAMICSThe GT windscreen focuses on maximising wind protection to deliver relaxing comfort worthy of a sports touring riding experience. At the same time, the designers were also concerned with keeping the form as compact as possible and making the screen attractive. Development involved repeated rounds of wind tunnel testing and analysis, with the design refined at each stage until it achieved just the right overall balance to satisfy both goals. In addition to deflecting wind away from the rider's head, folds introduced along the sides also help shield the rider's shoulders from the wind. The result is comfort, reduced stress from exposure to the cold and other elements, and reduced fatigue on long rides.

ADJUSTABLE KYB SUSPENSIONThe 43mm KYB inverted front forks give a ride that is sporty-yet-plush. They have fully adjustable damping, rebound, compression and spring preload. The link-type rear suspension with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload settings contributes to enhancing agility and stability. From low through high speeds, the handling is neutral and the rider feels an immediate sense of confidence-building stability. At the same time, the GT³ delivers high levels of performance, responding faithfully under the heavy loads of high speeds.

PREMIUM STOPPING POWERThe GT³ boasts radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers, each with four opposed 32mm pistons biting 310mm floating discs for strong stopping power. While tyres are custom developed Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 radial tyres, these benefit from an updated internal structure custom engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S, as well as an optimised tread pattern with a new compound that enhances positive grip in wet conditions, warms up faster, and wears better.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (SIRS)The respective systems enable the rider to optimise performance characteristics to best suit riding conditions and varying road surfaces, as well as their level of confidence and experience. By assisting the rider, they help make the GT controllable and predictable, and less tiring to operate, both when touring for long distances and in everyday riding. These attributes benefit the rider by instilling greater confidence and allowing them to concentrate on enjoying the GT riding experience.

COLOUR TFT DISPLAY AND SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITYThe GSX-S1000GT display keeps you fully aware of all the bike's systems, settings and real-time operating status.

ENGINE FEATURES

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.

Compared to the prior generation GSX-S1000 engine, the GT's camshaft profiles decrease lift and valve overlap, not only to improve emissions, but balance the engine's performance and drivability, while enhancing rider control.

The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster were designed with select materials to reduce friction and improve durability.

Suzuki's legendary Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) design is machined into the cylinder head that, with the flat-top pistons, achieves an optimal 12.2:1 compression ratio that helps deliver a broad spread of power throughout the entire rev range.

Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast for optimal rigidity and weight.

The engine case finish presents a strong image of quality, while the design of the engine covers (clutch, stator, and drive sprocket) feature a smooth shape and metal-like finish.

Electronic throttle bodies are employed on the GSX-S1000GT, so engine response is smoother and even more controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner.

The air cleaner's internal structure contributes to the GSX-S1000GT's strong engine performance while producing the exciting intake sound for which the GSX-S1000 is renowned.

The GSX-S1000GT's stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system has a centralized mass, under-chassis design with sharp looks, and an exciting note.

A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve manages flow from the mid-chamber into the muffler, while the sculpted muffler has a pleasing appearance that's uncommon to under-chassis exhausts and creates an exciting, distinctive sound that won't overpower the rider and passenger's senses.

The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.

The lower cowl and radiator-shrouds efficiently guide cooling air to the high-capacity, curved radiator.

Additional heat is removed from the engine via the use of a lightweight and compact liquid-cooled oil cooler (like those used on certain GSX-R models).

TRANSMISSION FEATURES

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 precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the best gear for the riding conditions.

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 FEATURES

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.

The sturdy aluminum-alloy swingarm comes straight from the GSX-R1000 and is ruggedly braced, which helps ensure great road-holding ability, while enhancing its contemporary superbike looks.

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.

The 43mm inverted KYB fork has adjustable compression and rebound damping, plus spring preload adjustment with a generous 120 mm (4.7 inches) of front wheel travel.

Unique to GSX-S1000 models, the TRP six-spoke, lightweight, cast aluminum wheels look great and contribute to the bike's nimble handling and sporty performance.

Similar to the tires fitted to the GSX-S1000 sports roadster, Dunlop's new Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front and a new, wider sized 190/50ZR17 at the rear) were custom-engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S1000GT, providing great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.

These wheels and tires work in harmony with carefully selected front- and rear-suspension settings to help realize the great grip, stability and nimble handling demanded for sporty performance, while also contributing to a comfortable ride.

Dual front brakes, with fully floating 310mm discs and Brembo Monobloc calipers, with four 32mm opposed pistons, provide strong and consistent stopping power when riding solo or two-up.

The front brakes are complemented by a 240mm rear disc brake, with a Nissin single-piston caliper to help ensure controlled stops.

Both the front and rear brakes can be modulated by a compact Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** controller to match stopping force to the available traction.

In contrast to the prior generation GSX-S1000F, the GSX-S1000GT features a more upright riding position for even greater comfort and control.

The matte black, tapered cast-aluminum handlebar contributes to the excellent riding ergonomics and performance-oriented style.

The aluminum pegs of both the rider and passenger footrests are covered with vibration-absorbing rubber. This reduces the amount of vibration transmitted to the feet, which improves comfort, especially on long rides.

The rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that maximizes comfort on long rides. Both have a weather-resistant cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement.

Stepped to provide a good view over the rider's shoulder, the passenger seat is set 2.3 in. (60 mm) higher than the rider's seat.

The black finish on the shifter, rear brake, and both hand levers matches the performance nature of the motorcycle.

**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

BODY & STYLING FEATURES

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.

Much of the GSX-S1000GT's aerodynamic effectiveness arises from the windscreen that was developed to maximize wind protection to the rider and passenger, thus enhancing the Grand Touring experience.

An optional, taller Touring Windscreen is available (2.75 in. (70 mm) taller than the standard screen). This optional screen also arches forward, further reducing air flow to the rider and passenger.

Aerodynamic performance and wind protection influenced the design of the fairing-mounted mirrors and mirror stalks. Head and stalks were shaped to streamline the flow of air across the mirrors, reducing the amount of wind that reaches the riders hands.

Designed with spacious storage capacity and the ability to clip on and off the motorcycle in seconds, the GT's optional, large capacity side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the motorcycle's sharp, futuristic styling.

The GSX-S1000GT's fuel tank is a generous 19 L (5.0 US Gal.) to reduce the frequency of gas stops while touring or commuting.

The styling goal of the GSX-S1000GT was to visually express the performance potential, comfort, and pleasure of this true grand touring motorcycle. At the same time, the GT's appearance is intended to convey the refinement and sophistication of a Suzuki motorcycle that offers advanced rider support tools like S.I.R.S. and mySPIN.

From designer concept to wind-tunnel tuning, the GSX-S1000GT's sharp lines, radical front face, and aerodynamic good looks all speak to the sporty soul of this GT machine.

The optional Side Cases and Touring Windscreen were styled at the same time as the base motorcycle, so when fitted, they present an integrated appearance.

The 2023 GSX-S1000GT arrives in Suzuki's unique Metallic Reflective Blue (QT8). This dark blue has a luxurious gloss finish that heightens pride of ownership.

The distinctively styled "GT" logos on the fairing sides lend an intelligent and sophisticated look that befits a grand tourer. Understated SUZUKI logos on the fuel tank also contribute to a sophisticated appearance.

The custom-designed ignition key sports the special GT logo in gold lettering on its grip to add a luxurious touch and aims to instill pride-of-ownership in this new model.

– The 43mm inverted KYB forks offer a generous 120mm of front wheel travel and adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping.

– Dunlop's SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 front and 190/50ZR17 rear) are custom-engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S1000GT and provide great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.

– Dual front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and Brembo radial mount monobloc calipers, with four 32mm opposed pistons, provide strong and consistent stopping power when riding solo or two-up.

– In contrast to the GSX-S1000F, the GSX-S1000GT features a more upright riding position for even greater comfort and control. This practical sport touring riding position is the result of a carefully crafted relationship between the handlebar, footrests, and seat.

– The matte black tapered aluminum handlebars contribute to the excellent riding ergonomics and performance-oriented style.

– The aluminum footpegs for both the rider and passenger are covered with vibration-absorbing rubber. This reduces the amount of vibration transmitted to the feet, which improves comfort, especially on long rides.

– The rider and pillion seats feature a sporty design that maximizes comfort on long rides. Both have a weather-resistant cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement.

– The pillion seat is set 60 mm higher than the rider's seat to provide a good view over the rider's shoulder.

– The black finish on the shifter, rear brake, and both hand levers matches the performance nature of the motorcycle.

Body & Styling Features

– The shape of the upper and lower fairing effectively moves the wind flow away from the rider, reducing direct pressure to the 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.

– Developed to maximize wind protection for both the rider and passenger, the windscreen contributes greatly to the GSX-S1000GT's aerodynamic effectiveness and further enhances the Grand Touring experience. Folded edges along the sides enhance comfort by reducing air flow that would otherwise press against your shoulders.

– An optional, taller Touring Windscreen is available (70 mm taller than the standard screen). This screen arches upward, further reducing air flow to the rider and passenger, while also providing optimized optical quality.

– Aerodynamic performance and wind protection influenced the design of the fairing-mounted mirrors and mirror stalks. Head and stalks were shaped to streamline the flow of air across the mirrors, reducing the amount of wind that reaches your knuckles.

– The GT's optional, large capacity side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the motorcycle's styling. Designed to clip on and off in seconds, these 36L cases with a 5kg weight capacity can hold most full-face helmets. Painted lid panels are also available, which coordinate beautifully with the GSX-S1000GT body colors.

– A generous 19L fuel tank capacity reduces the frequency of gas stops while touring or commuting.

– The uniquely styled "GT" logos on the fairing sides lend an intelligent and sophisticated look that befits a grand tourer. Understated SUZUKI logos on the fuel tank further contribute to the sophisticated appearance.

– The custom-designed ignition key sports the GT logo in gold lettering on its grip to add a luxurious touch.

Electrical Features

– The compact, dual LED headlight assembly complements the GSX-S1000GT's aerodynamic styling, and its independent high- and low-beams feature mono-focus LED technology, which brightly illuminates the road ahead. A wide, V-shaped LED position light positioned above makes the GSX-S1000GT clearly visible to others and creates an illuminated face unlike that on any other motorcycle.

– Suzuki's innovative multifunction handlebar switches are laid out to maximize operating ease and efficiency.

– The 32-bit ECM provides precise engine management that contributes to the operation and optimization of the electrical and S.I.R.S. components. The ECM and all other electronics on the GSX-S1000GT were rigorously tested in an anechoic chamber to help ensure they are not susceptible to magnetic interference from external sources.

TFT LCD Multi-information Display Features

– The GSX-S1000GT's instrument panel uses a new-generation 6.5-inch, full-color TFT LCD screen. Developed specifically for use on motorcycles, this TFT display is the first of its kind on a Suzuki motorcycle.

– This high-quality instrument panel is set into the inner fairing above the handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris. The panel itself features a scratch-resistant surface, and an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.

– The display format provides operational information in an easily recognizable way:

– The brightness adjustable TFT LCD display delivers a wide range of useful information, keeping you fully aware of all the bike's systems, settings and real-time operating status. When connected to your smartphone, it can also display maps, incoming and outgoing phone calls, contacts, music and calendar for even greater convenience, functionality and fun.

– Two alternative screen views allow you to choose and adjust the settings on certain motorcycle and mySPIN features.

– The TFT LCD readouts include:

– The main TFT LCD panel is flanked by LED indicators, including:

– Connect an iOS or Android™ smartphone to the TFT LCD panel via Wireless LAN and Bluetooth®. A USB outlet located on the left side of the instrument panel housing also lets you charge your smartphone's battery.

– Suzuki mySPIN Connectivity Features

– Available through the Apple App Store or Google Play, riders can install the free SUZUKI mySPIN app on their smartphone. Once installed, mySPIN provides an array of useful functions from five bundled applications specifically developed for motorcycle use.

– The mySPIN applications appear on the TFT LCD panel with similar fonts and display format to the motorcycle's systems, providing you with a familiar appearance and intuitive operation of the updated left handlebar switch assembly. This familiarity will help when accessing features and content, or to change settings while riding.

– The mySPIN system applications include Contacts, Phone, Maps, Music and Calendar

– In the future, mySPIN will expand the menu of third-party applications that can add additional functions to the TFT LCD, such as navigation, weather information and more.

Additional Features

– A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories are available, with nearly three dozen designed for the GSX-S1000GT.

– The accessory offerings include a set of quick-release, 36L side cases that accept color matched lid panels, a taller touring screen, heated hand grips, billet clutch and brake levers, fuel tank and engine cover protectors, stylish rider seat, plus a unique selection of GT logo apparel.

* The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider's throttle control, and traction control cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, or while braking, and it does not control front wheel traction.

** ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
