GSX-R1000 – In 1985, Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750, and then created another milestone in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the revolutionary and lightweight chassis of the GSX-R750 and a 988cc inline four-cylinder engine design that Suzuki is renowned for, stellar superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

A key member of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2023 GSX-R1000’s proven inline 4-cylinder engine provides class-leading power delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2023’s compact, light, and strong chassis deliver precise high-performance handling and excellent suspension feel combined with stellar braking control. All combined to help riders conquer a racetrack or a country road with confidence and aplomb. Advanced electronic rider aids such as Traction Control* and a Bi-Directional Quick Shifter augment the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork offers astonishing styling that continues to turn heads.

Equipped with Showa’s Big-Piston Fork plus Brembo T-drive rotors and Monobloc brake calipers, the GSX-R1000 help deliver the sort of performance and confidence a sport rider’s favorite canyon road ride or local track day demand.

Street

GSX-S1000 – The 2023 GSX-S1000 now aims to deliver greater controllability, agility, and power for an even more exciting and rewarding riding experience, while complying with worldwide emissions standards. The GSX-S1000’s physique comes in a tight and striking package that is ready to turn heads and own the streets.

Styling immediately draws your attention to the 2023 GSX-S1000. Tight, angular styling makes it clear that this light and muscular, naked sportbike is a serious contender. It’s hard not to stare at the stacked LED headlights housed in a minimalistic cowling that resides between a pair of MotoGP-inspired winglets protruding from the angular radiator shrouds.

The GSX-R-based engine is exposed as a clear message to others that this motorcycle makes more peak power with a boosted torque curve that delivers street-dominating power. Riders can keep that power under control with the electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies and the latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) that smooths shifting and engine braking.

There’s more GSX-R DNA in the chassis with its aluminum, twin-spar frame design, and superbike-braced swingarm. The suspension features a fully adjustable, inverted KYB fork and easy-to-adjust rear shock. Stopping performance is stellar via the dual, ABS-equipped**, radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo front brake calipers and 310mm floating rotors. Wider than the prior generation model, the cast-aluminum handlebar provides a comfortable reach and the proper leverage to hustle the GSX-S1000 through the corners and maneuver in tight city streets and traffic.

The 2023 GSX-S1000 has the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) in its corner. Make this bike your own using the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the five-mode (and OFF) Advanced Traction Control System*. Give your clutch hand a rest with the Bi-Directional Quick Shift system. Suzuki’s popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems get the fun started without any hassle.

Two available body colors, including Suzuki’s MotoGP bike-inspired Metallic Triton Blue and the new Glass Sparkle Black help position the 2023 GSX-S1000 as the sport’s dominant naked sportbike not only in performance but in styling and value as well.

SV650/SV650 ABS – Suzuki riders struck gold when the first SV650 launched in 1999. Since then, this iconic middleweight has seen continual improvements while still embodying the sporty ride, precise feel, and riding versatility and prowess only a provocative, mid-sized V-twin roadster delivers.

*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 drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
