The Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer, Suzuki Motorcycle, has launched its two superbikes- GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F in India, priced at Rs. 12.25 lacsand 12.70 lacs (Ex-showroom, New Delhi) respectively. The prior one is a naked roadster, while the latter one is its full faired version as a sport tourer. The two siblings, which are the latest entrants in the international stable of Suzuki Motorcycle Corporation, have sharp styling and power as well as everyday usage and practicality.
Commenting on the new launches, Mr. Atul Gupta, Executive Vice President, Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Ltd said, “The GSX-S1000 is a naked roadster with an aggressive look, while the GSX-S1000F is its fully faired sibling. Their supersport genes deliver smooth, controlled handling and dynamic acceleration. We are launching these models globally and in India at the same time so that Indian motorcycle enthusiasts can lay their hands on the latest, top of the line Suzuki products. These motorcycles cater to the rider who wants a performance street motorcycle. These sport roadsters have expanded our already diverse big motorcycle lineup.”
The GSX-S siblings are just perfect for those who want a street bike with the soul of a GSX-R. Both GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F have inherited the legendary engine of the GSX-R1000, advanced & lightweight chassis, switchable 3-mode traction control system, 43mm inverted KYB forks, radial mount monobloc brembo brakes and an easy to read instrument cluster displaying an array of comprehensive information. All these advanced technologies come together to give you a pure sport roadster.
Propelling the Suzuki GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F is the same 999cc, liquid-cooled, inline 4-cylinder engine, which also powers the legendary GSX-R1000. However, it has been detuned to give smoother performance with 144bhp of maximum power and 106Nm of peak torque output. The short-stroke mill comes mated to a 6-speed constant mesh gearbox, which works quite smooth.
The Suzuki GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F are both available in two colours – Candy Daring Red / Glass Sparkle Black (AV4) and Metallic Triton Blue (YSF).
