Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation has unveiled an enticing addition to its lineup – the GSX-S1000GX+. This new variant, an extension of the acclaimed GSX-S1000GX, comes equipped with integrated panniers, offering enhanced convenience and storage capabilities. Priced at £15,599 OTR, this model stands out as a compelling option for riders seeking both performance and practicality.
Enhanced Carrying Capacity at Exceptional Value
The GSX-S1000GX+ distinguishes itself by integrating color-coded, 36-litre panniers as a standard feature, providing substantial storage space perfect for accommodating a full-face helmet in each. Suzuki’s decision to include these genuine accessory panniers within the standard specification and price ensures added value for customers, especially those considering financing options. Remarkably, the GX+ offers a cost-saving benefit of £175 compared to purchasing the panniers and fitting separately.
Practicality Meets Performance
Designed for all-day riding comfort and long-distance journeys, the GSX-S1000GX+ balances practicality with performance. Its key highlight lies in the inclusion of semi-active suspension technology from Showa. This sophisticated suspension system offers automatic rear preload settings and three selectable options catering to various riding configurations, whether solo, with a pillion, or when carrying luggage. Riders can fine-tune their experience further with three damping settings – soft, medium, and hard – ensuring optimal handling across diverse road conditions.
Advanced Features for Superior Control
Suzuki has equipped the GSX-S1000GX+ with an array of advanced features aimed at enhancing rider control and safety. The bike boasts cruise control functionality, complemented by seven traction control settings and roll torque control utilizing a six-axis IMU. This cutting-edge technology intelligently manages power output during leans, while the Bosch IMU enables cornering ABS for heightened stability and braking precision.
Additionally, riders can choose from three selectable power modes, further customizing their riding experience. The inclusion of a bi-directional quickshifter adds to the bike’s responsive and seamless gear changes.
Tech-Driven Interface and Connectivity
The GSX-S1000GX+ comes equipped with a vibrant 6.5” color TFT screen, providing riders with comprehensive access to critical information. Notably, the bike offers smartphone connectivity through the Suzuki mySPIN app, enhancing accessibility and convenience for riders seeking seamless integration with their devices.
Power-Packed Performance

Delivering an impressive 152PS of power and 106Nm of torque, this engine ensures an exhilarating and dynamic riding experience.
