2023 Suzuki GSX-S1000 Base

2023 Suzuki GSX-S1000

The 2023 GSX-S1000 establishes the performance standard for naked sportbikes by providing superb controllability, agility, and power for an exciting and rewarding riding experience, while complying with worldwide emissions standards. A long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine and nimble chassis combine with sharp, angular styling that hone the GSX-S1000 into an even tighter and more striking package that is ready to turn heads and own the streets.

Styling immediately draws your attention to the GSX-S1000. Clean, straight lines make it clear that this light and muscular, naked sportbike is a serious contender. It is hard not to stare at the stacked Mono-focus LED headlights housed in a minimalistic cowling that resides between a pair of MotoGP-inspired winglets protruding from the angular radiator shrouds.

Features may include:

• Key Features

Led by a stacked mono-focus LED headlight assembly and bold, angular styling that includes MotoGP inspired winglets, the GSX-S1000’s aggressive naked sportbike stance speaks of power and performance potential.

The 999cc, GSX-R-based engine produces high peak power with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that is smoothly controlled by Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies for a stimulating sportbike experience.

• Engine Features

The camshaft profiles have reduced lift and valve overlap to not only to improve emissions, but balance the engine’s performance and drivability, enhancing rider control.

The GSX-S1000 provides predictable and controllable throttle response with abundant top-end power to provide the rider an exciting, responsive, and rewarding riding experience.

• Transmission Features

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

The precise shift linkage helps the rider easily and quickly select the ideal gear for the riding conditions.

• Chassis Features

Suzuki’s proven, twin-spar aluminum frame helps to ensure nimble handling and great road holding ability. The main spars are straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, which is ideal for achieving high rigidity and light weight.

• Body & Styling Features

The GSX-S1000’s fuel tank capacity is a generous 19 L (5.0 US Gal.) to reduce the frequency of gas stops while commuting or on long rides.

The front seat was designed for comfortable sport riding that includes a foam shape change to provide great support at the back of the seat while offering excellent freedom of movement for the rider.

• Electrical & Lightning Features

The oil-cooled, three-phase charging system provides ample power for the GSX-S1000’s maintenance-free battery and ride-enhancing electronics.

Suzuki’s Easy Start System requires just a simple touch of the starter button to fire up the engine (without pulling the clutch lever if the transmission is in neutral).

• Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) Features

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.

• Additional Features

A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories are available, such as a solo seat cowl, meter visor (acts as a sport screen), billet clutch and brake levers, fuel tank and engine cover protectors, clip-on tank bags, plus a selection of GSX-S logo apparel.
