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 the V shaped LED position light create a distinctive appearance and great illumination. With, or without the standard side cases in place, the GSX-S1000GT+ is the performance standard in the Grand Tourer category.
• The GSX-S1000GT+ features a large, 6.5-inch 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 the bike’s S.I.R.S. features. The panel also features Suzuki’s mySPINTM connectivity application that seamlessly links to a smartphone to provide easy access to contacts, maps, music, and phone communication.
• The latest iteration of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) includes the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, the updated, five-mode Advanced Traction Control System*, Bi-directional Quick Shift System, and the popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems.
• Right-hand comfort is increased with a revised Ride-by-Wire throttle system and the new-for-2025 Smart Cruise Control continues to operate when using the Bi-directional Quick Shift system’s clutch-free shifting, making the GT easier to operate on long rides.
• For 2026, riders can select the Pearl Vigor Blue or the stately Pearl Brilliant White bodywork – each featuring fresh identity logos for motorcycling’s Grand Touring leader.
• Worldwide emissions-compliant, the 999cc, GSX-R-based engine has increased peak power, with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that is smoothly controlled by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies, for a Grand Touring experience that is extraordinary.

Engine  

• The GSX-S1000GT+ is propelled by a high-performance 999cc, four-stroke, DOHC, liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder powerplant based upon Suzuki’s championship-winning GSX-R engine architecture.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies provide precise control for the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), Traction Control (TC), Electronic Cruise Control (CC), and Bi-directional Quick Shift system (QS).
• The GSX-S1000GT+’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system has a centralized mass, under-chassis design with sharp looks, and an exciting note.
• The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributes to higher power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle.

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.
• A rotary shift sensor sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system precisely responds to the rider’s actions providing a precise shifting feeling.
• The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch increases plate pressure under acceleration, yet acts as a slipper clutch to smooth the engine response during engine braking and corner entry.
• The strong, 525 drive chain uses O-rings to preserve internal lubrication, so power is transmitted smoothly and quietly.

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.
• The sturdy aluminum-alloy swingarm comes straight from the GSX-R1000 and is ruggedly braced, which helps ensure great road-holding ability while enhancing its contemporary superbike looks.
• Fully adjustable front and rear suspension with suspension spring rates and damping force tuned specifically for the GSX-S1000GT+.
• Unique to GSX-S1000 models, the TRP six-spoke, lightweight, cast-aluminum wheels look great and contribute to the bike’s nimble handling and sporty performance. Dunlop’s Roadsport 2 radial tires were custom-engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S1000GT+, providing great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.
• A pair of ABS** equipped Brembo Monobloc calipers, with four 32mm opposed pistons grab a pair of fully floating 310mm stainless steel discs to stop the front wheel while a 240mm stainless steel disc with an ABS** equipped Nissin single-piston caliper stops the rear wheel.
• The GSX-S1000GT+ features a reasonable sport touring riding position that provides effortless touring comfort all day and sporty performance when asked.

Electrical 

• Providing key Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) information to the rider is a, easy-to-read Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Instrument Panel that brings Suzuki-exclusive mySPINTM connectivity features to the GT+.
• The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) provides the rider a choice of three different engine power output modes. All three modes deliver maximum engine output but provide different throttle response and torque characteristics when accelerating.
• The five-mode Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS) continuously monitors front- and rear-wheel speed, engine RPM, throttle position, and gear position to adjust engine output to prevent undesired rear wheel spin.
• Equipped with the advanced Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System, Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS), Smart Cruise Control (SCC), Suzuki Easy Start System, and Low RPM Assist System bring additional safety and touring comfort without compromising this platform's sporting heritage
• The GSX-S1000GT+ is equipped with Suzuki’s innovative multifunction handlebar switches that are laid out to maximize operating ease and efficiency. A Local Interconnected Network (LIN) wire harness provides precise communication between the rider controls, the ECM, and S.I.R.S. components.
• Located to the left of the instrument panel is a USB outlet that the rider can use to charge a smartphone or power other accessories, like a GPS for navigation.

Body & Styling Features

• From designer concept to wind-tunnel tuning, the GSX-S1000GT+’s sharp lines, radical front face, and aerodynamic good looks all speak to the sporty soul of this GT machine.
• Styled with a full fairing that includes a proper lower cowl that is styled and shaped to manage airflow through the radiator and deflect wind past the rider and passenger.
• The standard side cases and the optional Touring Windscreen were styled at the same time as the base motorcycle, so when fitted, they present an integrated appearance.
• LED headlights, position light, turn signals and taillight compliment the GSX-S1000GT+’s wind-cheating body, while improving both visibility and durability.

Additional

• A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories are available including, the taller Touring Windscreen, heated hand grips, billet clutch and brake levers, fuel tank, and engine cover protectors, clip-on tank bags, plus a unique selection of GT logo apparel.
