VOL. 51 ISSUE 40 OCTOBER 7, 2014 P47
The GSX-S1000 gets
radial mounted Brembos with
mono-bloc calipers and a fully
adjustable inverted KYB fork.
The bike will feature Renthal
aluminum Fatbar handlebars and
gets a full LCD instrument panel.
The standard model will also
come in an ABS version with
the F model only available with
ABS. The S1000 and S1000F
are available in Metallic Triton
Blue, Glass Sparkle Black/
Candy Daring Red and Metallic
Mat Fibroin Gray. No pricing has
been given on the GSX-S1000
at this point and more colors are
also on the way, according to
Suzuki.
While the 1000 uses
the parts-bin GSX-R1000
motor from 2005-2008, the
GSX-S750 uses the current
generation GSX-R750
powerplant that's been tuned
for the streetfighter application
with more low-end and mid-
range. It also uses the flat
Renthal handlebars, and its
footpegs are moved back and
the seat is also relatively low at
32.1 inches.
The GSX-R750 engine
package has been re-done
with changes to the engine's
cam profiles and intake and
exhaust tracts all designed to
"boost low-end torque and mid-
range power."
The GSX-S750 also has
a second version, the GSX-
S750Z, which is spiffier with its
gold anodized outer fork tubes,
red anodized fork adjuster
bolts, a red shock spring and a
blue chain.
Both of the 750s use
Kayaba's upside down front
fork, dual front brake calipers
– though the 750 doesn't get
the monobloc Brembos like
the 1000. Both are claimed to
weigh 470 pounds wet.
The GSX-S750 will sell for
$7999 while the Z model will
retail for $8149. The S750 is
available in Metallic Matt Black
with the 750Z set to come in
Metallic Triton Blue and Pearl
Glacier White.
