Information
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.
