SUZUKI GSX-S1000F ABS (2014-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

It doesn't take too much knowledge of motorcycles to figure out that the F suffix of the 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000F introduced more fairing than its semi-naked sibling would show off.

The all-new GSX-S family was built on a three-decade heritage of the R bikes and takes things even further into the future of motorcycling. Like its naked sister, the GSX-S1000F is powered by the 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with optimized cams and an output of 143 hp at 10,000 rpm and106 Nm (78 lb-ft) of torque at 9,500 rpm, working neck to neck with the 6-speed manual sporty transmission, controlled by a three-mode Traction Control System (TCS) with an off option.

The looks of the GSX-S1000F expressed very well Suzuki's approach to making modern sports bikes with sleek lines which blend aggressiveness with a classic race vibe, functional aerodynamics, and plenty of power for both the street and the track games.

The 2016 F-suffixed bike packed a lightweight aluminum chassis designed for street-riding comfort with a 43 mm KYB inverted Tin coated fork with an adjustable rebound and compression damper with spring preload on the front and a link-style single-shock on the rear.

The breaking power was handled by two 310 mm discs with four-piston monoblock Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a single disc on the rear wheel.
