The 2024 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, and an extensive selection of optional equipment like truly functional, integrated side cases.

Ready to go the distance, the GSX-S1000GT has revitalized sport touring. It is as if the GT itself understands 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 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 optional, high capacity 25.7L saddlebags, while allowing for a thick, more comfortable passenger seat.  The GSX-S1000GT’s load capacity and suspension control can flex to each new destination, thanks to its fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock.  Front braking comes from the ABS-equipped** dual, radial-mounted, four-piston, Brembo-front brake calipers and 310mm floating stainless-steel rotors. 

The GSX-S1000GT is ready to accept your next long ride invitation as it has blended comfort with its SuperSport DNA. The wide, cast-aluminum handlebar is shaped and positioned for a comfortable reach, 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 sport 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 the standard for sport touring performance and comfort.  The striking and original face of the GT begins with a raked nose, while a pair of horizontally arranged LED headlights, V-shaped position light, sleek mirror design, and side-mounted LED turn signals fashion a unique Grand Touring appearance that is distinctively Suzuki.  The GT’s daring styling continues into the optional side cases and touring windshield for a fully integrated appearance.  The majestic Glass Sparkle Black body work with unique GT logos identify the 2024 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.

KEY FEATURES

Ready to split the wind, the full fairing sets the standard for aerodynamics and rider wind protection in the sport touring category. The dual mono-focus LED headlights and V shaped LED position light creates a distinctive appearance and great illumination. With, or without the optional side cases and touring windscreen in place, the GSX-S1000GT is the performance standard in the Grand Tourer category.

The GSX-S1000GT features a large, 6.5 in Thin Film Transistor, or TFT, panel that is easy to read in any light condition and features a format that makes it easy for the rider to adjust many of the bike’s S.I.R.S. features. The panel also features Suzuki’s mySPIN connectivity application that seamlessly links to a smartphone to provide easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.

Worldwide emissions-compliant, the 999cc, GSX-R-based engine has increased peak power, with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that’s smoothly controlled by new, Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies, for a Grand Touring experience that’s extraordinary.

Upright ergonomics deliver superb control and comfort, while the twin-spar aluminum frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension deliver controlled handling. The ABS-equipped** Brembo Monobloc brake calipers with dual, floating brake rotors provide controlled stopping power.

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) smooths shifting and engine braking, while the standard Bi-directional, Quick Shift system gives your clutch hand a rest. Right hand comfort is increased with the hybrid throttle system and the precise electronic cruise control.

The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) includes the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the five-mode Advanced Traction Control System*, Bi-directional Quick Shift System, and the popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems.

Suzuki’s popular Glass Sparkle Black paint with understated identity logos further establishes the GSX-S1000GT as motorcycling’s Grand Touring leader.   

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.The GSX-S1000GT provides predictable and controllable throttle response, with abundant top-end power to provide the rider an exciting riding experience.

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 valve springs are calibrated to the unique camshafts to aid performance and improve durability.

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.Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque.Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase reduce friction and improve heat transfer and durability.

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 accele
