The GT is clearly a sport-touring platform built on the popular and comfortable GSX-S1000. Let’s see what it’s all about 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT.
- The new plastic is the most apparent change. The full fairing is supplemented by a new tail section that houses a new seat. LED position lights give the GT an aggressive look, and the mirrors are also new. The LED lighting in the back is also new.
- The GT-only windscreen is touring-friendly. It is designed to keep the windblast off the rider’s head and shoulders.
- A floating handlebar and rubber-mounted footpegs reduce fatigue on long ride
- The GT gets a seat designed for sport-touring. The seat has a grippier material than the standard GSX-S1000.
- The GSX-S1000GT has the same motor as the GSX-S1000. It’s a Euro 5 friendly, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline-4 that we’ve enjoyed immensely in the past.
- There are plenty of electronics built into the GSX-S1000GT. The entire 32-bit, ride-by-wire package is called the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System. It is made up of power modes, adjustable traction control, quickshifter, cruise control, push-button starting, and Suzuki’s unique Low RPM Assist.
- The 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT gets a roomy 6.5-inch TFT display with an anti-reflective coating. With all the travel-friendly electronics, this will make it easy to exploit all its smartphone-integrated features. The dash is compatible with iOS and Android via Bluetooth. There’s also the Suzuki mySPIN app. Here’s a list of what you can see on the display:
- Suzuki’s mySPIN app has five bundled apps that expand the capabilities of the dash. You can see your contacts, phone, maps, music, and calendar on your TFT dash using those apps.
- The GSX-S1000GT gets its own subframe to accommodate the accessory side cases. The seat rails are lower, which allows the passenger to enjoy a thicker seat. The seat cover is high-traction, and the passenger grab bars are new.
- Although the Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires return on the GT, they are model-specific. The Roadsport 2 on the GT is not the same as the Roadsport 2 tires that you would buy off the rack, as they have a more rigid carcass and steel belt to compensate for the GT’s additional weight and touring capabilities.
-
- There are plenty of Suzuki accessories for the GT. In addition to the side cases that arrive stock on the GSX-S1000GT+, there’s a touring screen (2.75 inches higher), accessory seat, heated grips, red Brembo front brake calipers, carbon fiber goodies (clutch, starter, and alternator covers, plus fenders), axle sliders, fuel tank bags, tank pads, and wheel decals.
- The list price for the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT in England is £11,599. That’s £1600 more than the GSX-S1000. We don’t have any details on US pricing.
