Suzuki GSX-S1000GT

Suzuki might be out of world championship racing but the brand is no doubt continue to remain relevant to this day. 

  • Suzuki sold more than 700 units of the GSX-S1000GT in UK last year. 
  • The GSX-S1000GT is available in Malaysia for RM85,700. 

In a latest announcement, the House of Hamamatsu has confirmed that the GSX-S1000GT has been the best-selling sports touring machine in the UK in 2022.

Despite only went on sale in April, Suzuki managed to sold 781 units by end of last year making it the top-selling sports tours touring motorcycle. 

In addition, Suzuki anticipated that the number could reach 1,000 unit by end of March this year. 

“Of course, we’re delighted with the popularity and success of the GSX-S1000GT. It was launched to high praise in the autumn of 2021, and we were seeing a huge number of reservations and orders before the bike had even arrived in dealerships.

“Despite that, and though it presented challenges, we managed to keep up with demand and we’re on course to top 1,000 sales by the end of its first year on sale, which is a fantastic achievement and something we’re all pleased with and proud of,” said Suzuki Great Britain head of motorcycles, Jonathan Martin. 

Although it was build based on the heavily revised GSX-S1000 frame and powerplant, the GSX-S1000GT brings an altogether different vibe.

With optional panniers, comfy riding ergonomics, and an all-new electronic system, the GSX-S1000GT could be Suzuki’s ultimate sport tourer motorcycle.

At the heart of the motorcycle sits the same inline four-cylinder 999cc Euro5 engine you get from the GSX-R1000 and is detuned with revised cams, new air-box, and new exhaust to deliver 152hp @ 11,000rpm and 106Nm @ 9,250rpm.

Major electronics upgrade is a new electronic actuated throttle and Suzuki Intelligent Ride system that brings together riding modes, traction control and most importantly, cruise control system.

Segmen motosikal grand tourer kini mendapat pesaing baharu, menerusi Suzuki GSX-S1000GT.

Menggantikan GSX-S1000F, model terbaru ini menawarkan segala aspek bagi sebuah motosikal ‘sports tourer’ antaranya tempat duduk yang selesa, sistem elektronik terkini dan ergonomik yang sporty namun praktikal terutamanya bagi yang gemar merekodkan perbatuan tinggi di hujung minggu.

Meskipun dibina menggantikan GSX-S1000F, model baharu ini tampil dengan rekaan serba berbeza dan langsung tidak mengikut acuan rekaan yang ditawarkan model Suzuki 2021 lain.

Bahagian fairing bersegi dipadankan bersama penghadang angin boleh laras manakala lampu LED penuh dilengkapkan bersama DRL (daytime running light).

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT ini dibangunkan daripada model GSX-S1000 (yang akan dilancarkan Disember nanti di Malaysia).

Ini bermakna, meskipun bercirikan ‘touring’, GSX-S1000GT ini dikuasakan enjin inline empat silinder Euro 5 daripada GSX-R1000 dan menawarkan 152hp pada 11,000rpm dan 106Nm pada 9,250rpm.

Bagaimanapun, beberapa komponen telah dikemas kini bagi menyesuaikan fungsi sebagai motosikal ‘tourer’ antaranya sistem ekzos serta air-box baharu.

Sementara itu, seperti GSX-S1000, motosikal baharu ini juga didatangkan dengan sistem ‘electronic actuated throttle’ dan Suzuki Intelligent Ride System yang merangkumi mod enjin, traction control dan cruise control.

Pada masa sama, Suzuki GSX-S1000GT ini turut bertulangkan kerangka aluminium jenis ‘twin-spar’ sama seperti GSX-S1000 kecuali bahagian ‘subframe’ yang telah diolah agar lebih kukuh untuk membawa pillion dan ‘panniers’.

Antara ciri lain yang menarik perhatian adalah skrin TFT 6.5″ yang menawarkan fungsi meluas antaranya sistem navigasi, jawab panggilan telefon dan kawalan muzik yang boleh diakses melalui aplikasi Suzuki mySPIN pada telefon pintar.

Ciri menarik lain yang turut ditawarkan:

  • tangki 19L
  • berat (kering) 226kg
  • fork depan teleskopik inverted
  • tayar 120/70-17 depan dan 190/50-17 belakang
