Design
With its aggressive appearance and sporty styling, the GSX-S1000 is designed to impress. At the top of the Suzuki’s priority list is comfort – and a sports rider seat ensures this crouching cruiser delivers. As well as providing plenty of grip, the seat allows for easy movement – making tight corners easier to tackle.
Performance & Handling
With a claimed top speed of 150mph, the estimated fuel economy of this Suzuki is 40mpg – and at a lightweight 209kg (before fuel), the Suzuki is an agile, easy to handle ride. The optional ABS system will cost you an extra £500 but is definitely worth investing in as, combined with Brembo monobloc calipers, it makes for more powerful braking.

Features
In terms of equipment, this Suzuki gets back to basics, offering everything you’d expect from a naked bike – no more, no less. Its lightweight LCD instrument display is not the most stylish but it’s easy to use – and the list of comprehensive readouts includes speedometer, gear position and average fuel consumption. The white backlight ensures optimum nighttime visibility – and indicators controlling turn signals, oil pressure and high beam flank the display.
After such a long build-up, we wouldn’t be surprised if you’re keen to get your hands on this sporty Suzuki – and with the release date set for June of this year, you won’t have to wait much longer. The tempting launch price of £8,999 means this competitively priced motorbike is already in seriously high demand – and we can help you find the funds for this exceptionally nimble naked bike.
