2023 GSX-S1000GT+

The 2023 GSX-S1000GT intelligently combines the championship performance of its GSX-R1000-based engine with a nimble, lightweight chassis to provide riders with an exciting and comfortable GT riding experience. Here is a Grand Tourer with sportbike level functionality, avantgarde styling, truly functional integrated side cases, plus an extensive selection of optional accessories.

More than a successor to the prior generation GSX-S1000F, the GSX-S1000GT+ is the motorcycle that performance-minded touring enthusiasts desire, whether heading out on a long trip with a passenger on board or enjoying a sporty solo romp up a twisty ribbon of asphalt. The GSX-S1000GT+’s performance is a revelation, its appearance breathtaking, and the Suzuki mySPIN connectivity application integrated into the full-color TFT instrument panel provides easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.

Using long-stroke, GSX-R engine architecture, the 999cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled DOHC in-line four engine delivers smooth, consistent power throughout its wide power band. This enhances the riding experience, both at the low- to mid-range engine speeds commonly used in daily riding, and through the mid- to high-range used when travelling long distances on the highway. Refined and controlled performance is managed by Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) technology, including electronic cruise control, traction control* and clutchless quick shifting, so passing slower traffic is an opportunity, never a challenge.

The twin-spar aluminum frame and superbike-braced swingarm help deliver agile handling and great road-holding ability that will go the distance. Visually stunning, the trellis-style sub-frame design creates secure attachment points for the standard, high capacity 25.7L saddlebags, while allowing for a thick, more comfortable passenger seat. The GSX-S1000GT+’s cargo capacity and suspension control can flex to each new destination, thanks to its fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. The dual, ABS-equipped**, radial-mounted, four-piston, Brembo-front brake calipers and 310mm floating rotors provide the controlled stopping performance needed to travel two-up with confidence.

Comfort is vital to miles of effortless performance, and the GSX-S1000GT+ is ready to accept your next long ride. Sit behind the wind-tunnel developed windscreen and grasp the wide, cast-aluminum handlebar that is positioned for a comfortable reach while delivering the proper leverage to guide the GSX-S1000GT+ on any road. The handlebar’s special rubber mount damps vibration to the rider’s hands, while all the footrests have durable rubber inserts to damp vibration to the rider’s and passenger’s boots. The rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that maximizes comfort on long rides, and both have a cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement. The rider’s seat-shape further expands freedom of movement, while the pillion design maximizes passenger comfort and integrates well with the stylish grab-bar design.

The GSX-S1000GT+ is now the standard for sport touring performance and comfort. The GT+ leads with a raked nose complete with a pair of horizontally arranged LED headlights, V-shaped position light, sleek mirror design, and side-mounted LED turn signals to fashion a Grand Touring appearance that is distinctively Suzuki. The GT+’s daring styling continues into the standard side cases and optional touring windshield for a fully integrated appearance. For 2023 the body colors are the Suzuki legacy Metallic Triton Blue or the ever-popular Glass Sparkle Black, both with unique GT logos that identify the 2023 GSX-S1000GT as motorcycling’s best road companion.

*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider's throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.
**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.
