The 2023 GSX-S1000 establishes the performance standard for naked sportbikes by providing superb controllability, agility, and power for an exciting and rewarding riding experience, while complying with worldwide emissions standards. A long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine and nimble chassis combine with sharp, angular styling that hone the GSX-S1000 into an even tighter and more striking package that is ready to turn heads and own the streets.
Styling immediately draws your attention to the GSX-S1000. Clean, straight lines make it clear that this light and muscular, naked sportbike is a serious contender. It is hard not to stare at the stacked Mono-focus LED headlights housed in a minimalistic cowling that resides between a pair of MotoGP-inspired winglets protruding from the angular radiator shrouds.
The GSX-R-based engine is exposed as a clear message to others that this motorcycle makes prestigious peak power with a broad torque curve that delivers street-dominating power. Riders can keep that power under control with the electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies and the latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) that smooths shifting and engine braking.
There’s more GSX-R DNA in the chassis with its aluminum, twin-spar frame design and superbike-braced swingarm. The suspension features a fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. Stopping performance is stellar via the dual, ABS-equipped**, radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo front brake calipers and 310mm floating rotors. A wide cast-aluminum handlebar provides a comfortable reach and the proper leverage to hustle the GSX-S1000 through the corners and maneuver in tight city streets and traffic.
The 2023 GSX-S1000 has the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) in its corner. Make this bike your own using the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the updated, five-mode (and OFF) Advanced Traction Control* System. Give your clutch hand a rest with the Bi-directional Quick Shift system. Suzuki’s popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems get the fun started without any hassle.
Two available body colors, including Suzuki’s hero Metallic Triton Blue and a new Glass Sparkle Black combine with modern logos to help position the 2023 GSX-S1000 as the sport’s dominant naked sportbike not only in performance but in styling as well.
