LED lighting (not cornering lights) are fitted to a newly de- signed fairing and cockpit design, and Suzuki has also crafted twin 36L side bags as an optional extra for the base model +.

There's also a new, wider rider's seat and a new steel trellis sub- frame supporting a redesigned passenger seat and grab handles. A new 6.5-inch TFT dash allows the rider to pair a phone, and using the Suzuki mySPIN app, lets you control apps like music, 2022 SUZUKI 2022 GSX-S1000GT
