2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT Plus

The all-new 2022 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 equipment features.

More than an evolution of the prior generation GSX-S1000F, the GSX-S1000GT+ fulfills the transformation in what 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 new 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 new trellis-style sub-frame design creates secure attachment points for the high capacity 36L side cases, 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.

• ENGINE

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 increased peak horsepower.

• TRANSMISSION

Like a GSX-R1000, the GSX-S1000GT's race-proven, six-speed, close-ratio transmission features vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

• CHASSIS

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.

• BODY & STYLING

The shape of the new upper and lower fairing effectively moves the wind flow away from the rider, reducing direct pressure to the rider’s helmet, shoulders, and knees.
