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

In 2016, Suzuki launched the GSX-S1000F, a standard motorcycle that belonged to the same family as the 1985 GSX-R750 and took its spirit on the streets but also was closely related to Suzuki's MotoGP machine, the GSX-RR.

The chassis was designed to be agile and fun to ride, with a lightweight and rigid frame and an aluminum swingarm. At each end of the frame, the bike featured lightweight cast-aluminum wheels dressed in Dunlop radial tires.

For braking power, the bike featured the same top-of-the-line radial-mount Brembo monoblock calipers like the GSX-R1000, with two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear, both wheels equipped with ABS.

In the power department, the model took its thrust from a street-tuned engine that powered the GSX-R1000 and delivered smooth throttle response and crisp acceleration. It also packed a finely tuned fuel injection system with Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system.

The 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine installed on the lightweight chassis developed an output power of 143 hp at 10,000 rpm and 106 Nm (78 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 9,500 rpm. The hot and burned gases produced by the engine were pushed through a four-two-one exhaust system designed to increase the output in the low-mid rpm range.

Tech-wise, the 2016 Suzuki GSX-R1000 featured a lightweight instrument cluster with a brightness-adjustable LCD and various readings such as a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, gear position indicator, traction control indicator for three different traction control modes, and much more.
