Suzuki have just announced a new sports-tourer – meet the GSX-S1000GT!
Replacing the GSX-S1000F, the new GT uses the same 152bhp GSX-R1000K5 engine setup as Suzuki’s naked GSX-S1000, but has revised cams, a new air-box, new exhaust, assisted slipper clutch and a new subframe to accommodate the increased load.
The GSX-S1000GT weighs 226kg and features protective fairing, optional hard luggage, full LED lighting, a brand-new 6.5″ LCD dash and a comfortable, upright riding position. The floating handlebar and rubber-mounted footpegs both will help reduce fatigue on long rides, and the Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres aid the bike’s touring capabilities. The new GT also boasts the updated Suzuki Intelligent Ride System that brings together the engine modes, traction control, and cruise control systems.
One of the most exciting additions to the GSX-S100GT is the brand-new dash!
The GT gains a 6.5-inch full-colour TFT display with an anti-reflective coating. Driving the system is the Suzuki mySPIN app that is iOS and Android compatible and developed specifically for Suzuki motorcycle models.
Here’s a list of what you can see on the display:
- 12-hour clock
