Born on the racetrack and raised on the street, the 2016
GSX-S1000F is derived from the legendary, championship-winning
GSX-R1000. The new GSX-S lineup carries the spirit of the Suzuki
GSX-R to the street, with shared technology and performance
packaged into a chassis designed specifically for street riding
comfort.
35 years after the birth of the original GSX model, the GSX-S
series takes the GSX line in an aggressive new direction and is set
to become the next member in the family of iconic models from
Suzuki.
"To successfully launch Suzuki's latest street motorcycle, a
dedicated number demonstrator models have been made available to
allow customers to experience the latest Street Sports contender
from Suzuki" said National Marketing Manager, Lewis Croft
"Suzuki has a philosophy of creating value that exceeds the
customer's expectation and what better way to back this up is with
a test ride experience."
Customers will also be pleased with the GSX-S1000F price of just
$15,790 plus on costs which positions the Suzuki well ahead of the
competition.
The roots of the GSX series started in 1976 with the GS750. It
was Suzuki's first 4-stroke in-line-four cylinder powered
sportbike. Its performance, handling and durability impressed
riders all over the world.
In 1980, the GS engine evolved to 16-valve design with the
introduction of the GSX750E. It was the origin of the glorious GSX
lineage, followed by the radical GSX1100S KATANA in 1981, and the
legendary, original GSX-R750 in 1985.
The original concept for GSX was high-performance sportbike,
featuring broad powerband, nimble handling, and great durability.
This engineering philosophy is still alive today in all current GSX
models, from the top-end GSX-RR MotoGP race machine to street legal
production models, like the new GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F.
The GSX-S1000F is powered by an enhanced version of the
legendary K5-K8 series 999cc, long stroke, DOHC, In-line
four-cylinder GSX-R1000 engine that claimed multiple championships
worldwide including the 2005 WSBK title.
The GSX-S1000F is also Suzuki's first sportsbike to feature
Suzuki's advanced traction control system which allows the rider to
control throttle with more confidence in various riding conditions.
The 3-mode system continuously monitors front and rear wheel
speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear
position sensor, and quickly reduce engine output when wheel spin
is detected. This enables the rider to enjoy sport riding with more
confidence, with less stress and fatigue
To ensure top-level braking performance the GSX-S1000F is
equipped with the same top-of-the-line Brembo monobloc calipers
straight from the GSX-R1000 which also feature an Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) to assist the rider maintaining directional control
even during hard braking.
Suzuki engineers designed a new chassis in a compact,
lightweight package that makes the GSX-S1000 agile and fun to ride.
Every aspect of the chassis reflects a focus on great handling and
control in real-world conditions from city streets to twisty
mountain roads.
Top shelf Renthal aluminium Fatbar handlebars and a full
multi-function LCD instrument cluster cap off the already
impressive package.
A perfect fit for riders seeking an aggressively styled machine
with supersports DNA on the streets, the Suzuki GSX-S1000F offers
all that and so much more.
