SUZUKI GSX-S Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The Suzuki GSX-S1000 was a standard motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki since 2015, sharing the same engine as the GSX-R1000 manufactured from 2005 to 2008. The engine was re-tuned to deliver lower-end rpm torque, better for commuting and cruising at slower speeds.

In 2017, the bike was updated, featuring a more powerful engine, delivering 150 hp and 107 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm. Other modifications included a slipper clutch and visual changes like black levers and footpegs.

In 2023, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer announced the new 2024 model year Suzuki GSX S1000GX, a motorcycle based on the GSX-S1000, sharing the same frame and 999cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

The new Suzuki comes loaded with safety technology, including Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES), a system that electronically controls the bike's suspension system, providing the best riding experience depending on various factors, such as speed, road surface, and several more.

It also presented several visual modifications, including the addition of a new fairing and handlebar, best suited for sport riding. As for a more visual impact, the bike's seat rail, and engine were left exposed to the naked eye.

The manufacturer announced that the 2024 Suzuki GSX S1000GX will be available at the dealerships starting in the first month of 2024. The bike's price was not yet disclosed.

Back in 2021, Suzuki Motor USA unveiled the new GSX-S1000GT. Although it’s a high-performance and sporty-looking motorcycle, the S1000GT can be very comfortable riding for any distance at speed.

Based on the Suzuki GSX-R engine, the 999cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, in-line four, comes with updated components, including revised intake and exhaust camshafts, cam chain tensioners and valve springs, and a redesigned clutch. Equipped with the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) technology, the S1000GT has electronic cruise control, five adjustable traction control modes, and bi-directional clutchless quick shifting.

For better handling and road-holding ability, the S1000GT has a strong twin-spar aluminum frame and braced swingarms. The sub-frame design allows secure attachment points for the 37L side cases (which, by the way, are optional, except on the GT+ where they are fitted as standard), and creates a more comfortable passenger seat.

The suspension of the bike is fully adjustable, so it benefits when riding with a passenger, while the four-piston, Brembo-front brake calipers, and the 310 mm rotors generate the stopping performance needed.

The bike has a 6.5-inch new-generation TFT display which is the first of its kind used on a Suzuki motorcycle, and it’s mounted into the inner fairing above the handlebars. The handlebar offers a more comfortable reach due to its shape and position and the fact that is wider than than on the previous generation.

The Suzuki GSX-S1000GT is available in two colors (black and blue), and it has a base price of $13,799.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-S750 lineup included the GSX-S750, Gsx-S750A, GSX-S750Z, and GSX-S750ZA. The story subject is the GSX-S750A, a standard motorcycle with an upright sitting position made by Suzuki in 2015, with a 749cc engine modified and tuned, derived from the GSX-R sports bike.

In essence, the suffixed A introduced at the end of the bike’s name indicated the presence of ABS brakes, which was a bonus for the riders who wanted extra safety and provided them with some extra peace of mind even when riding on wet or slippery surfaces.

The 749cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine of the bike was tuned from one end to the other, starting from the cam’s profile to the end of the muffler, for more boost in the low-end torque and mid-range power with good throttle response and acceleration. The engine’s output power consisted of 99 hp at 10.170 rpm and 74 Nm (54 lb-ft) of torque at 9,060 rpm sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.

The model’s frame design was a combination between a compact tubular street bike frame and a twin-spar sports bike frame that kept in place the Inverted KYB front fork suspension and a link-type rear suspension with a single shock absorber.

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) had a lightweight and compact design and offered extra safety by squeezing two 310 mm discs on the front and a 240 mm disc on the rear.

In 2015, Suzuki released the GSX-S750ZA, powered by a sports-bike-derived engine tuned for low rpm torque and mid-range power. With the suffix A added to the GSX-S750Z name, it's no secret that the bike was equipped with ABS brakes. The 2015 naked machine was an alternative to the 750cc Gixxer, engineered and dedicated to those who like the vibe of the full-faired bike but favored an urban look more.

The 2015 GSX-S750ZA was designed with the competitive spirit of the GSX-R750, with a 749cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 99 hp at 10,170 rpm and 74 Nm (54 lb-ft) of torque at 9,060 rpm bonded to a six-speed manual transmission. The Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET), a servo-controlled butterfly valve, enhanced torque, response, and acceleration at low-to-mid range rpm.

The highlights of the bodywork included a front fender with vents, molded mirrors, textured tank side panels, and an angular tail section with an integrated LED taillight.

On the twin-spar aluminum frame was mounted an inverted KYB fork on the front with a design developed in racing and mandatory on a high-performance machine, and a link-type rear suspension, with a single rear shock absorber that worked through a progressive linkage and a spring preload in seven-way adjustable.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-S750ZA was equipped with ABS working together with two 310 mm fully floating discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 240 mm with a single-caliper on the rear.

Suzuki GSX-S750 was a standard motorcycle built by Suzuki in 2015, with a sports-bike-derived engine modified and tuned to low rpm torque for commuting and cruising at lower speeds. The GSR750 was its predecessor, sold in the European market in 2011. The GSX-S750 was sold in the US market with the same engine as the GSR750 but with a different body model.

Comparing the two models, the 2015 GSX-S750 had a new exhaust mandatory for the EURO 4 and California Emission Standards, a tapered handlebar, a revised airbox, a new swingarm, and ventilation holes in the bottom of each cylinder to improve power.

In 2015 Suzuki released the GSX-S750Z, with a perfectly tuned engine from cam profiles to intake and exhaust designed to boost low-end torque and mid-range power, ideal for street riding.

Speaking about power, the 2015 Suzuki GSX-S750Z was brought to life by the 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an output of 99 hp at 10,170 rpm and 74 Nm (54 lb-ft) of torque at 9,060 rpm.

The bike featured a frame combined with the advantages of a compact tubular steel frame and a twin-spar frame that featured an inverted telescopic fork with coil spring and oil damper on the front and a link-type rear suspension with coil spring and oil damper.

The braking power was handled by two 310 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.

In 2015, Suzuki released the GSX-S750, a motorcycle built to give a balanced performance taken from the heritage of the GSX line and redesigned for the street. The model has an upright seating position and an engine tuned from the cam’s profile to the end of the muffler to boost the low-end torque and the mid-range power. The tuned engine gives the GSX-S750 a good throttle response and an intense acceleration.

The Suzuki GSX-S750 was available in two versions, one equipped with ABS and one without, differentiated by the suffix A at the end of the name.

The model’s frame design was a combination between a compact tubular street bike frame and a twin-spar sports bike frame.

The 2015 motorcycle has its heartbeat set by the 749cc DOHC four-stroke liquid-cooled engine working head-to-head with a six-speed manual transmission, boasting the power of 99 hp at10,170 rpm and 73 Nm (54 lb-ft) of torque at 9,060 rpm.

For suspension, the model has an Inverted telescopic coil spring, oil damper on the front wheel, and a link type, coil spring, and oil damper on the rear.

In the braking department, the mode has two310 mm full floating discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-S750 was for sale in 2022, starting from $5,000.

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.

The Suzuki GSX-S1000 was a standard motorcycle that debuted in 2015 in Japan. The model shared the engine from the GSX-R1000 and was slightly tuned for lower-end rpm torque.

Suzuki shifted into the second gear with the 2016 line-up of GSX-S1000 family motorcycles, which included the GSX-S1000, GSX-S1000 ABS, and GSX-S1000F ABS, all tied directly to the legendary GSX-R heritage of inline-four performance and design, with an aggressive bodywork style either on the naked or fairing bike.

The 2016 GSX-S1000 model was powered by a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with optimized cams for street domination and screwed to a six-speed manual transmission.

The bike packed an aluminum chassis, designed for street-riding comfort, and the Suzuki advanced Traction Control System with three riding modes. With a handlebar-mounted switch, the rider could easily choose between the modes or completely turn off the system.

For suspension, the bike packs a 43 mm KYB inverted front fork with an adjustable rebound and compression damping with spring preload and a link-style single-shock on the rear. The Renthal handlebar was made of lightweight aluminum alloy and was meant to reduce vibrations.

The lightweight LCD cluster featured a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, water temperature gauge, gear position indicator, average and instant fuel consumption readout, and more.

The 2016 model was for sale in 2022 starting from $6,000.

The GSX Series was Suzuki’s lot of sport-touring motorcycles powered by four-stroke four-valve per cylinder engines. After the two-valve GS Series, Suzuki introduced the first GSX models in 1980, which were the next step in the four-stroke road bike range.

In 2014, at the INTERMOT Scooter and Bicycle Fair in Cologne, Germany, Suzuki unveiled the naked bike GSX-S1000/ABS, the model for the 2015 year, a street bike composed of the MotoGP GSX-RR and the supersport bike GSX-R. The engine based on the GSX-R100 was tuned to optimize public roads without messing with the low-mid torque and the high-rev output range. Suzuki adopted the push start system for the first time on their large displacement motorcycles.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-S1000 ABS has at its heart a 999cc four-stroke inline-four liquid-cooled engine shaking hands with a six-speed manual transmission, hitting an output of 143 hp at 10,000 rpm and 106 Nm (78 lb-ft) of torque at 9,500 rpm.

The 2014 model has a new aluminum twin-spar frame focused on handling and control, and the swingarm is taken straight from the GSX-R. The suspension has an inverted telescopic coil spring, an oil damper on the front, and a link type, coil spring, and oil damper on the rear.

For braking purposes, the model has two Brembo 310 mm discs, four-piston calipers on the front wheel, and a 220 mm disc on the rear featuring ABS.
