VOLUME 59 ISSUE 20 MAY 17, 2022 P91 At 31.9 inches, the seat height is right in the middle for most riders out there, and the seat itself is quite hard so you will either love it or hate it. Personally, I'm a fan of it as the padding refused to sink after a full day on board in every- thing from high-speed freeway riding to switchback twisties, and when combined with the wider and higher handlebar compared to the GSX-S, rider comfort was never in ques- tion—an important point on any bike, but especially so on a sport tourer. The GSX-S1000 GT+ is also notable for being the first motorcycle in Suzuki's history to have a TFT dash. Yes, you read right. The first! I'm so glad Suzuki has finally joined the TFT party, albeit much later than it should have, but I'm even happier the GT and GT+ didn't get that horrendous Gameboy-style dash Suzuki fitted to the GSX-S. Any legs longer than Rennie's at 6'1" and the GT+ might get start getting a little cramped. Mission control for the dash is the little grey pad on the left handlebar. Easy as pie to use.
