GSXS1000 (GSX-S1000 RQM5)

Sharper, stronger smarter

Born of race-winning, track-proven DNA and raised on the street, the honed physique of the second-generation GSX-S1000 morphs it into an even tighter and more striking package that is ready to turn heads and own the streets.

It’s all about commanding performance, confidence-inspiring controllability, rider friendliness, and looks that just can’t be beat.

Absolute Performance

The high-performance 999cm³ four-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled inline-four engine that powers the GSX-S1000 inherits true winning superbike DNA. This street-tuned engine is based on core architecture that benefits from know-how acquired over decades of developing the GSX-R1000 to win countless production race victories, while also incorporating advanced technologies developed for MotoGP racing.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS)

SDMS is designed to offer the rider a choice between three different modes that change output characteristics to match riding conditions or preferences.

Mode A (Active) provides the sharpest response as the rider opens the throttle. Settings for torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver the exciting acceleration that had earned the previous generation GSX-S1000 high acclaim. It is well suited for use when hitting the throttle hard, such as when participating in track day events or enjoying a sporty run on winding roads in good weather.

Mode B (Basic) reaches the same level of maximum output, but features softer response and a more linear power delivery curve as the rider opens the throttle. The settings are tuned to make the bike more controllable and instill confidence when accelerating, and to make it a good fit for a wide range of rider styles and road conditions in everyday riding.

Mode C (Comfort) provides the softest throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, delivering power in smoother linear fashion while still reaching the same level of maximum power output. The gentler throttle response and limited torque production as the throttle is opened makes more obedient and controllable when riding on wet or otherwise slippery surfaces, when road conditions are bad, or even when the rider wants to relax and enjoy a ride home after a long outing.

Engineered for excitement

Every aspect of the chassis reflects engineering focused on delivering great handling and control, whether riding on city streets, negotiating twisty mountain roads, or taking the GSX-S1000 out to participate in a track day event.

Greater Comfort and Control

New tapered handlebars  are   23mm wider than those on the previous model, the bars have  also been rotated upward slightly to raise the grip position.

Superior Braking

The GSX-S1000 is equipped with top-of-the-line radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers. The calipers each have four opposed ø32mm pistons acting on a ø310mm floating-mount disc for strong stopping power.

Multi-function Colour TFT Instrumentation

The instrument panel packs all required information onto a compact, full  colour TFT screen using a clean and intuitive layout with information displayed in order of priority.
