Description

While sharing its core elements with the other models in the GSX-S series, the GSX-S1000GX+ introduces new features and advanced functions that give it a unique position as Suzuki’s new Sport Crossover model.

Like the GSX-S1000GT+, the GX+ features superbike-level performance, confidence-inspiring handling, optimized comfort, connectivity, and attention to detail one expects of a premium sport touring experience.

Though both the GX+ and GT+ belong to the GSX-S series, their differences are also significant. The GX+ features a longer suspension stroke that contributes to its extended front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance, and comfortable, upright riding position. Furthermore, GSX-S1000GX+ achieves a whole new level of suspension performance by introducing Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) — Suzuki’s first electronic suspension — and by adopting Suzuki’s original new Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS) system. These technologies combine to make the GX+ comfortable and confidence inspiring on road surfaces ranging from urban asphalt and cobblestones to paved country and winding mountain roads.

The result is an exciting new Crossover machine that sits comfortably between the sport tourers and adventure tourers. While delivering the aggressive superbike performance and sporty looks that distinguish the GSX-S series, the GX+ also provides long-distance touring comfort thanks in part to its upright riding position and equipment features. Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES), the integrated riding modes and control provided by Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α), and other advanced systems help ensure comfort and a premium sport touring experience, even on cobblestones and other less-than-ideal road surfaces. 

The GSX-S1000GX+ is well worthy of taking its place as the king of Crossover touring comfort and riding pleasure, with a level of aggressive-looking SuperSport styling and attention to detail that will resonate soundly with discerning riders.

 

*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 ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

Engine

  • The GSX-S1000GX+’s long-stroke GSX-R engine has been refined to produce a broad, smooth torque curve through the full rev-range, with increased peak horsepower. The GSX-S1000GX+ provides predictable and controllable throttle response, with abundant top-end power to ensure the rider an exciting riding experience.
  • The cam chain tensioner and tension adjuster were designed with select materials to reduce friction and improve durability.
  • Aluminum pistons, engineered with use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis, are cast for optimal rigidity and weight. Ventilation holes between the cylinders reduce pumping loss within the crankcase so the engine can deliver more power and torque. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase reduce friction and improve heat transfer and durability.
  • Electronic throttle bodies are employed on the GSX-S1000GX+, so engine response is smoother and more controlled, especially when the rider is applying the throttle to accelerate out of a corner. These Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies help provide precise control for the new Suzuki Drive Mode Selector - Alpha (SDMS-α), Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilization (SRAS), Smart Cruise Control systems, and more.
  • Long-tip, 10-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization, while the automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle. Compared to the GSX-S1000GT+, the GX+’s Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) play was adjusted to slightly increase the amount of force required to rotate the throttle grip for better feedback to the rider.
  • The GSX-S1000GX+’s stainless steel, 4-2-1 exhaust system has a centralized mass, under-chassis design with sharp looks, and an exciting note. Behind the header pipes, the mid-chamber contains a second catalytic converter to help ensure emissions compliance, a low center-of-gravity, and good exhaust flow to help the engine deliver a strong low- to mid-range punch, with an exciting rush to redline.
  • The digital ignition fires iridium-type spark plugs which increase spark strength and combustion efficiency, contributing to higher power, a more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle. These quality components also last longer than conventional spark plugs.
  • Additional heat is removed from the engine via the use of a lightweight and compact liquid-cooled oil cooler (like those used on certain GSX-R models).
  • Compared to the prior generation GSX-S1000 engine, the GX+’s camshaft profiles decrease lift and valve overlap, not only to improve emissions but balance the engine’s performance and rideability. The valve springs are calibrated to the unique camshafts to aid performance and improve durability.

The seat is covered in a surface skin that helps provide positive grip and is shaped to offer freedom of movement when enjoying a sporty ride
  • The Premium Seat features include a sporty and attractive design with a luxurious touch and a new double-layer cushion construction that helps maximize comfort. Employing technology being used by Suzuki for the first time as either standard equipment or an accessory on a production model, the seat is constructed from two layers of molded urethane foam that differ in level of firmness. The seat is engineered to let infrared rays penetrate, thereby helping to keep its surface 14% cooler+ compared to the original seat from the sun. Red double-stitching around the upper seam gives the seat a custom handmade look that goes well with the GX+’s body color and further enhances the GX+’s sporty appeal.
  • The black finish on the footrest mounts, gear shifter, rear brake, and both hand levers match the performance nature of the motorcycle. The front brake lever features a multi-step adjuster that permits quick modification of the lever’s distance from the 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 ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.
  • The GX+'s new sub-frame provides several benefits. It provides strong and secure attachment points for the side cases. Secondly, the short distance between the upper and lower rails makes it possible to increase the thickness of the rear seat for greater passenger comfort. Additionally, the exposed trellis design adds to the GSX-S1000GX+’s striking looks.
  • With more fork stroke and rear wheel travel than the GSX-S1000GT+, the GSX-S1000GX+ has an upright riding position like the V-STROM 1050 and thereby provides greater comfort, even when touring for long distances. The longer suspension can absorb larger bumps when riding over uneven road surfaces.
  • Like the fork and shock absorber fitted to the GSX-S1000 sports roadster, the suspension spring rates, and damping force setting are tuned specifically for the GSX-S1000GT+. Model Fork stroke Rear wheel travel GSX-S1000GX+ 5.9 in. (150 mm) 5.9 in. (150 mm) GSX-S1000GT+ 4.7 in. (120 mm) 5.1 in. (130 mm) V-STROM 1050 6.3 in. (160 mm) 6.3 in. (160 mm)
  • See the Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) features section for more information on the GSX-S1000GX+’s electronic suspension and its extraordinary capabilities.
  • When developing the GX+’s ergonomically sound Crossover Touring riding position, the design team set the handlebar grips 2.16 in. (55 mm) closer to the rider than on the GSX-S1000GT+. This allows the rider a more upright posture, which enhances comfort. Overall, the new cast aluminum handlebars are 2.0 in. (50 mm) wider and feature a 0.55 in. (14 mm) wider grip placement, making them comfortable to grasp while reducing steering effort.
  • Like the tires fitted to the GSX-S1000GT+ grand tourer, Dunlop’s Roadsport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front and a wide 190/50ZR17 at the rear) were custom-engineered to perform optimally on the GSX-S1000GX+, providing great grip in dry or wet conditions, faster warm-up, and long tread life.
  • The fuel tank boasts a capacity of 5.0 US gallons (19 L) with a design that makes it appear compact. Its large capacity combines with the engine’s excellent fuel efficiency providing the GSX-S1000GX+ with a good riding range per tank of fuel.
  • The rear brake has a 240mm stainless steel disc with a Nissin single-piston caliper.
  • The GSX-S1000GX+ is fitted with a sturdy and practical standard-equipment rear carrier constructed of lightweight aluminum. Solid grab bars on each side of the carrier provide the passenger with a good place to grasp the motorcycle. The grab bars were designed to not interfere when removing or installing the side cases. Rear carrier load capacity: 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg)

  • The GSX-S1000GX+’s rider and passenger seats have a sporty design that also increases comfort on long rides. Both have a weather-resistant cover material that balances grip with freedom of movement. The rider’s seat shape further expands freedom of movement and has a foam cushion 0.6 in. (15 mm) thicker than the seat on the GSX-S1000GT+. With a flatter shape than the GT+ seat, the foam is also firmer for better support during long rides.
  • Rider seat height: 33.3 in. (845 mm). Stepped to provide an unobstructed view over the rider’s shoulder, the GX+’s pillion seat is wider by 1.0 in. (26 mm) and 0.4 in. (10 mm) thicker than the GT’s seat. The seat’s design boosts passenger comfort and integrates well with the rear rack’s grab bar design that does not intrude into the passenger’s seating area.
  • The aluminum pegs of both the rider and passenger footrests are covered with vibration-absorbing rubber. This reduces the vibration transmitted to the feet, which improves comfort, especially on long rides. Both pairs of footrests are positioned lower, reducing bend at the rider’s and passenger’s knees and ankles, further improving comfort. The rear footrest location provides ample clearance for the passenger’s legs when the side cases are installed.
  • The standard equipment center stand simplifies machine maintenance while offering another parking option for the GX+.

Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension

  • The GSX-S1000GX+ is a formidable new Luxury Crossover model that combines the advantages of a long-stroke suspension with the benefits of electronic suspension performance. In fact, the GX+ is the first Suzuki motorcycle to adopt the Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES). Developed and supplied by SHOWA, the EERA® suspension is an electronic version of the SFF-CATM inverted telescopic fork and BFRC-lite® link-style single shock absorber.
  • The EERA® suspension uses vehicle and speed information from the IMU and wheel speed sensors, plus information from high-precision stroke sensors compactly integrated into both the front and rear suspension to instantly determine optimal damping by the suspension stroke speed and riding conditions. This nearly instantaneous electronic feedback and adjustment yields practically ideal ride quality.
  • Taking advantage of this technology are proprietary programs such as the Suzuki Floating Ride Control (SFRC) and Suzuki Velocity Dependent Control (SVDC) that are tuned to provide the GX+’s suspension mode (Hard/Medium/Soft) settings. This gives an extremely comfortable and controllable riding experience, offering a wide range of electronic control settings suitable for a Crossover motorcycle that can be used for sport riding or long-distance touring.
  • Additionally, SAES operates more intelligently than conventional systems because its basic settings are managed by SDMS-α's integrated riding modes, providing greater comfort that helps any rider to fully leverage the performance potential of the GX+.
  • Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) – Front The right fork has a Stroke Sensor inside that measures the current piston position to the nearest 1/1000 of a millimeter and adjusts suspension damping 1000 times per second, according to the current stroke volume and stroke speed it senses. The left fork leg contains the damping cartridge. An electronically operated solenoid valve on the left fork cap affects fluid flow to adjust both the rebound and compression damping force. The SAES continually adjusts the fork’s damping force by changing the settings on the fly.
  • The fork does not have electronic spring preload adjustment (as does the rear shock absorber). Both the right and left fork legs contain coil springs, and the spring preload setting can be manually adjusted using an adjuster on the right fork axle holder.
  • Suspension Control Unit (SCU) Mounted to the sub-frame, the SCU directly controls the fork and shock damping force solenoid valves and the shock spring preload motor unit. Using the information displayed on the TFT panel and adjusted using the left handlebar switch, the rider sends electronic suspension commands to the ECM where they are then influenced by the Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) and other sensors that are then transferred to the SCU that controls the suspension in real-time.
  • Suspension Control Unit (SCU) Mounted to the sub-frame, the SCU directly controls the fork and shock damping force solenoid valves and the shock spring preload motor unit. Using the information displayed on the TFT panel and adjusted using the left handlebar switch, the rider sends electronic suspension commands to the ECM where they are then influenced by the Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) and other sensors that are then transferred to the SCU that controls the suspension in real-time.
  • The advanced system employed by the GSX-S1000GX+ is set to respond optimally at once to three types of motion and thereby respond to a wide range of riding conditions. Though SFRC is always active, and it is set to intervene only minimally when on smooth surfaces so as not to effect on-road performance. Its effect becomes stronger when riding over uneven surfaces, but even then, it does not attempt to completely level out the ride. This is because the rider perceives changes in the bike’s posture and intuitively uses those movements to control it. Too smooth a ride would inhibit this feeling of connection between the rider, the motorcycle, and the road.
  • SFRC adjusts damping force to match Active Damping Control’s (Hard, Medium, or Soft) settings. These settings are SDMS-α's integrated riding modes (see the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S. section for more information).
  • Suzuki Deceleration Damping Control (SDDC) As with SVDC, the SDDC program reproduces the damping characteristics defined by each specified mode under normal operation. However, SDDC applies deceleration G-force as a parameter based on IMU data and then sets optimal damping force so that vehicle attitude changes caused by braking occur smoothly. This provides a moderate pitch motion that does not interfere with the rider's action when braking, helping deliver comfort and confidence.
  • The Differences between Conventional and Electronic Suspension On conventional (mechanical) suspension systems, the amount of damping can only be adjusted manually, and the amount of damping depends entirely on the amount of oil moved by the speed of the suspension’s damping piston stroke. In contrast, SAES adds an electronically-controlled hydraulic valve to the damping force-generating unit, thereby electronically controlling the damping adjustment mechanism without compromising the basic performance of conventional mechanical suspension systems. This allows a wider range of variable damping force settings to better cover everything from sport riding to comfortable touring, and to better respond to varying load and road surface conditions.
  • Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) – Rear Preload adjustment for the rear suspension is electronically controlled as the shock is equipped with a hydraulic spring collar that automatically changes the rear preload setting, allowing the setting for the rear suspension to be changed independently.
  • Visibly mounted under the subframe is a motor unit that can pressurize or release hydraulic fluid at the preload collar, changing the amount of spring preload. A stroke sensor monitors the spring's current position and is key to the shock spring’s ability to change preload as directed by the motor unit. An electronically operated solenoid valve on the shock body affects fluid flow to adjust both the rebound and compression damping force. The SAES continually adjusts the shock’s damping force by changing the settings on the fly.
  • Original Programs Integrated into SAES There are some SAES functions that are included on the GSX-S1000GX+ due to the addition of an Internal Measurement Unit (IMU): The Suzuki Floating Ride Control (SFRC); a program that further improves tracking and comfort in response to road surface changes.
  • The Suzuki Velocity Dependent Control (SVDC); is a program that monitors vehicle speed and optimizes suspension settings for that speed. Suzuki Deceleration Damping Control (SDDC); a program, which smoothly converges changes in vehicle attitude due to braking and controls damping force to achieve an ideal pitch motion.
  • Suzuki Velocity Dependent Control (SVDC) SAES also incorporates Suzuki’s SVDC program which, under normal operation, helps the front and rear suspension reproduce the damping characteristics of each specified mode according to the suspension stroke speed. However, this program introduces the parameter of vehicle speed data received from the CAN bus to optimize damping control to match the current speed, thereby achieving positive handling at low and high speeds.

Electrical and Lighting

  • The oil-cooled, three-phase charging system provides ample power for the GSX-S1000GX+’s maintenance-free battery and ride-enhancing electronics.
  • An optional Suzuki Genuine Accessory power outlet that mounts under the passenger seat can be obtained from your Suzuki dealer.
  • The TFT screen, ECM, and all other electronics on the GSX-S1000GX+ were rigorously evaluated in an anechoic chamber to help ensure they are not susceptible to magnetic interference from external sources.
  • Supplied by Koito®, the independent, high- and low-beam headlights use Mono-focus LED technology that shines light directly through a convex lens to brightly illuminate the road.
  • Front LED turn signals within thin, arrow-shaped housings, extend outward from the upper fairing. At the rear, thin, arrow-like LED rear turn signals combine with an LED combination light to complement the stylish lines of the trim tail section and match well to the bike’s unique styling.
  • Located to the left of the TFT instrument panel is a USB outlet that the rider can use to charge a smartphone or power other accessories, like a GPS for navigation.
  • The GSX-S1000GX+ is equipped with Suzuki’s innovative multifunction handlebar switches that are laid out to maximize operating ease and efficiency. A Local Interconnected Network (LIN) wire harness is used for fast and precise communication between the TFT instrument panel and the handlebar switches.
  • The rider can use the TFT panel information and the mode/select switch on the left handlebar to change Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) settings. The right handlebar switch has a poly-function rocker switch that serves as both the engine stop- and start button that activates the Easy Start System. The switch also has a hazard flasher switch and Smart Cruise Control button.
  • Matched well to the GSX-S1000GX+’s aerodynamic styling, the compact, stacked LED headlight assembly is centered low within the nose of the fairing.
  • A pair of surface-emitting LED position light strips flank the headlights along the sides of the front fairing. These LEDs are the same type as used on luxury cars and feature an upswept angle and narrow slit design that adds to the distinctive look of GX+’s front face. This helps make the GSX-S1000GX+ more visible to pedestrians and other traffic.
  • With lower electrical draw than conventional lighting, the LED headlights, position light, turn signals, and taillight compliment the GSX-S1000GX+’s sleek body, while improving both visibility and durability.

TFT Multi-Information Display

  • This high-quality TFT instrument panel is set into the inner fairing above the handlebars, for good visibility and protection from road debris. The panel features a scratch-resistant surface and an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light.
  • The display format of the HOME screen on the TFT panel provides operational information in an easily recognizable way: The left side of the panel has an analog tachometer animation with a sweeping red needle that accurately indicates the engine RPM Near the center of the panel is a digital speedometer, and directly below the speed display is a fuel level gauge. The indicators for the Smart Cruise Control system are also displayed in this area.
  • The right side of the panel is the transmission gear indicator plus the rider interface for the S.I.R.S. features, such as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Alpha (SDMS-α), the Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) system, the Traction Control, or the Bi-directional Quick Shift System settings. The upper portion of the right side of the TFT panel displays status icons for the clock, smartphone battery level, and wireless connection status for smartphones and other rider and passenger Bluetooth devices.

  • The brightness adjustable TFT display delivers a wide range of useful information, keeping the rider aware of all the bike’s systems, settings, and real-time operating status; when connected to the rider’s smartphone it can also display maps, incoming and outgoing phone calls, contacts, and music for even greater convenience, functionality, and fun. The display can be set for manual or automatic switching between Day Mode (white background) and Night Mode (black background). The display’s general brightness can be set to automatically adjust to the ambient light level, or manually set to suit the rider’s preference.
  • The TFT display uses GSX-S1000GX+ exclusive graphics, including blue background lines that add an extra artistic touch to help convey Suzuki’s spirit and brand identity. An additional feature of the TFT screen is a brief custom animation that plays when the ignition key is switched on. This playful presentation is pleasing to the eye and builds excitement for the ride to come.
  • Two secondary screens on the TFT panel allow the rider to choose and adjust the settings on certain motorcycle and mySPIN features. The MENU screen can access mySPINTM connection options, trip information, service reminders, and general options.

Suzuki Myspin Connectivity

  • Available through the Apple App Store or Google Play, riders can install the free SUZUKI mySPINTM app on their smartphone. Once installed, mySPIN provides an array of useful functions from five bundled applications specifically developed for motorcycle use.
  • The mySPINTM system applications include Contacts, Phone, Maps, Music and Calendar Contacts – the system can access the contacts application on the smartphone and inform the rider who is calling. Calls can also be placed by selecting a contact from the list. Phone – conveniently, the system can place phone calls, either dialed directly or from the contacts application and can display the rider’s call history, all without stopping the bike.
  • Maps – the rider can view his or her current location on the map without having to download any third-party map application or data. The Suzuki Map can search for destinations and get routing information, all while allowing the rider to easily navigate from screen to screen by using the switches on the left handlebar. Music – the rider can use a Bluetooth® headset to listen to music from his or her smartphone’s music library; the passenger can listen, as well, if they are wearing a Bluetooth® headset wirelessly connected to the system.
  • Calendar – the rider can display calendar entries from his or her smartphone on the TFT screen, checking scheduled events and reminders.
  • The mySPINTM applications appear on the TFT panel with similar fonts and display format to the motorcycle’s systems, providing the rider a familiar appearance and intuitive operation of the updated left handlebar switch assembly. This familiarity will help when accessing features and content, or to change settings while riding.
  • In the future, mySPINTM will expand the menu of third-party applications that can add additional functions to the TFT, such as navigation, weather information and more.

Body and Styling

  • The aerodynamic design goal was to maximize wind protection and make the rider more comfortable by reducing sources of stress such as exposure to the cold and elements. This helps reduce fatigue when touring for long distances at speed and frees the rider to concentrate on enjoying the journey.
  • Wanting to protect the rider from the effects of wind, Suzuki’s stylists developed a layered design for the fairing that greatly reduces the effects of negative air pressure to help prevent head buffeting. In addition, holes placed strategically on the face of the cowl are effective in reducing front lift. The cowl’s width was also increased to help better guide the flow of air away from the rider’s body, helping minimize discomfort or distraction (such as the rider’s jacket billowing or blowing in the wind).
  • An optional Short Screen that is 2.1 in. (55 mm) shorter than the standard windscreen is available. This trim screen enhances the sporty image of the GSX-S1000GX+. The optional short screen was developed alongside the standard screen, ensuring that its look and function properly integrate with the GSX-S1000GX+.
  • When creating the GSX-S1000GX+, Suzuki designers focused on fashioning a new Crossover appearance, one that visually conveys the potential of superbike-level performance plus the physical presence of an adventure tourer that is ready to go anywhere. This ideal blends with Suzuki’s attention to detail which results in a premium motorcycle with the sophistication that delivers comfort on long rides, making the ride more important than the destination.
  • The 2024 GSX-S1000GX+ arrives in Pearl Matte Shadow Green (QU5). The new colorway debuts on Suzuki’s first Crossover model that contrasts silver side panels against sleek, green fairing and fuel tank. In green, the GX+ presents itself with functional beauty that blends equally well in urban environments or the great outdoors.
  • The custom-designed ignition key sports the special GX logo in gold lettering on its grip to add a luxurious touch and aims to instill pride of ownership in this premium model.
  • Development of the windscreen focused on wind protection for the rider to create comfort that minimizes fatigue on long rides. Another design concern was to keep the windscreen as compact as possible and to create an attractive screen that would enhance the motorcycle’s appearance.
  • Development involved repeated rounds of wind tunnel testing and analysis as the design was refined until it achieved just the right overall balance of rider comfort and aerodynamic performance. Comfort is also increased by the folded edges of the windscreen which reduces air flow that would normally press against the rider’s shoulders. A measured amount of airflow under the windscreen creates a smooth envelope of air, benefitting both the rider and passenger.
  • Designed with spacious storage capacity and the ability to clip on and off the motorcycle in seconds, the GSX-S1000GX+’s standard, large-capacity side cases feature a compact design that integrates seamlessly with the motorcycle’s sharp, futuristic styling. With 25.7 L (0.9 cubic ft) of storage space and 5 kg (11 lbs.) weight capacity, each side case can hold most full-face helmets.
  • Painted panels on the side case lids integrate the luggage to the motorcycle, providing a perfect match to the GSX-S1000GX+’s main body color. The side case locks accept the motorcycle’s ignition key to open the luggage or disengage the quick-release mechanism. The side case mounting hardware is black and unobtrusive, so when the side cases are not mounted, the mounting hardware does not detract from the motorcycle’s sporty appearance.
  • The new fairing features a sharp, protruding nose that culminates at the compact LED headlights. The headlights are flanked by LED position lights with the look of a sharp pair of “eyes” that present a sporty, yet sophisticated image. In pursuit of the optimum aerodynamic form, and to keep the size relatively compact, the shape of the fairing was refined through rounds of analysis and wind tunnel testing until both the designers and engineers were satisfied. This effort helped improve comfort without sacrificing agility.
  • The efforts of the development team also produced a multi-layered expression by which the shape and different coloring of the side panels give the fairing an aggressive look which also complements the GX+’s seating position. Further accentuating the image of a long-legged machine that is ready to go anywhere are the upswept lines on the side panels combined with the matte silver exposed side rails, the gold-anodized forks, and rear suspension motor unit. These stand in contrast to the blacked-out exhaust, engine, and other mechanical parts that ride low on the GSX- S1000GX+.
  • The distinctively styled “GX” logos on the fairing sides lend an intelligent and sophisticated look that befits a sport Crossover model. Understated SUZUKI logos on the fuel tank also contribute to the sophisticated appearance.
  • The standard side cases were styled to match the GSX-S1000GT and GX+ motorcycles, so when fitted, they present an integrated appearance.
