RIDE REVIEW I 2022 SUZUKI GSX-S1000 GT+ P92 And Suzuki's done a good job on it, too. The 6.5-inch dash is not terribly difficult to understand and adjust, probably because it doesn't have features like an IMU, Corner- ing ABS, etc. You can easily change between your three riding modes, your five stages of traction control (including Off), and you can disengage your quickshifter if you want. However, that quickshifter is currently one of the best on the market in any category so god knows why you'd want to turn it off. Everything is accessed by the left switch block which also contains— wait for it—cruise control! One of the big omissions of the GSX-S has thankfully not made it through on the GT and GT+, which both come standard with the must-have feature of any 1000cc machine these days, regardless of category. Over the two days on the GT+, cruise was used extensively, but not up the seemingly endless riding pleasure land between Ojai and Santa Barbara in California, where the GT+ High handlebars make for an ultra- maneuverable machine in the twisties.
