Suzuki Introduces Special Edition GSX-S1000 And GSX-S1000F

Suzuki has announced the introduction of special edition models of the GSX-S1000 and the GSX-S1000F. The GSX-S1000 Carbon Edition is a naked street bike that will come in two colour schemes of MotoGP Blue and a contrasting red and black combination. The blue variant comes with matching Brembo Monobloc calipers and fluorescent yellow rim tape and body graphics, while the other comes with red Brembo calipers with red rim tape and white graphics. Under the Carbon Edition, the GSX-S1000 also get carbon treatment for the components such as the rear hugger, crankcase, clutch, and alternator.

For the Tour Edition of the GSX-S1000F, Suzuki will be offering the motorcycle with both MotoGP and red with black colour options and silver graphics. In this edition, the motorcycle also receives a taller windscreen, a 15-litre tank bag and a 12-litre tail pack for a more enjoyable touring experience.

Speaking on the introduction of the special edition models, Rob Cooper, Suzuki GB marketing manager, said: "The GSX-S1000 is a super-naked that already ticks plenty of boxes, thanks to its aggressive styling and the fact it’s powered by the engine from the iconic GSX-R1000 K5. The new special editions will further stand out from the crowd, with their attention-grabbing graphics and coloured Brembo callipers. The GSX-S1000F is the everyday sportbike, with a comfortable riding position and weather protection, while retaining it’s GSX-R character. However, we are seeing that a lot of customers are using theirs above and beyond a weekend blast, and are often journeying further afield. The Tour Edition means that customers that are considering using it for that purpose can do so with even more comfort and practicality.”
