2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000

2022 Suzuki GSX-R1000A

It has been three decades, with more than a million editions sold, since the GSX-R line was born. And a decade and a half has elapsed since the first GSX-R1000 transformed the open sportbike class forever. Now, the 2022 GSX-R1000 is redefining what it means to be The King of Sportbikes. This motorcycle’s chassis forms the lightest, the most compact, the most aerodynamic and the best-handling GSX-R1000 ever.

Cradled in the new aluminum frame is an all-new engine that uses an exclusive Variable Valve Timing and Ride-by-Wire throttle bodies for a wide spread of power while delivering smooth and precise throttle response. Using an Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) the GSX-R1000’s advanced electronics package includes selectable performance modes so the motorcycle enhances and fine tunes rider inputs. The six-axis IMU lets the GSX-R1000 recognize its position on the street or race track to help the rider achieve an extraordinary level of riding performance.

Up front, new style BREMBO T-drive brake rotors grasped by Monobloc calipers provide strong, controlled braking, while the precise and smooth SHOWA suspension keeps the sticky Bridgestone RS10 tires in touch with the road. All of this forward-looking motorcycle technology is covered in all-new, wind tunnel-developed bodywork that’s uniquely GSX-R. This is your invitation to Own The Racetrack.

• SUZUKI PROTECTION PLAN

Suzuki Protection Plan is a comprehensive plan that covers all major components, parts and electrical/computer systems on your Suzuki Motorcycle or ATV. Only normal wear or maintenance items are not covered. We’ve built Suzuki Protection Plan around coverage, not exclusions.

• SUZUKI RACING VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEM (SR-VVT)

The new and exclusive Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing System (SR-VVT) uses a centrifugal actuated mechanism on the intake camshaft sprocket to increase high engine RPM power without losing low-to mid-range power.

• SUZUKI RACING FINGER FOLLOWER VALVE TRAIN

The new design Suzuki Racing Finger Follower valve train weighs less than a tappet-style valve train for reduced friction and increased valve response at higher engine speeds. Titanium valves, two 31.5mm intake and two 24mm exhaust valves, are used for each cylinder. The lighter valves respond well to the finger follower’s arms and permit a 14,500 RPM redline that helps produce very high peak horsepower.

• FORGED ALUMINUM PISTONS

Aluminum pistons, 76.0 mm in diameter, were engineered with use of FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis, and are forged for optimal rigidity and weight.

• AUTOMATIC IDLE SPEED CONTROL (ISC)

The automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting and stabilizes the engine idle regardless of engine temperature.

• SUZUKI TOP FEED INJECTORS (S-TFI)

Complementing the four primary fuel injectors in the throttle bodies are four Suzuki Top Feed Injectors (S-TFI) that spray fuel from the top of the air box directly into the intake funnels. This results in higher peak power, more efficient combustion, and a higher level of fueling control.

• SUZUKI DUAL STAGE INTAKE (S-DSI)

To increase top end power without losing lower RPM performance, the air box is equipped with Staked Air Intake Funnels for the #1 and #4 cylinders. This simple design allows good air flow at all intake speeds without requiring a mechanism that adds weight or complexity.

• 4-2-1 EXHAUST SYSTEM

The 4-2-1 thin wall Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (S-AES) is designed to help the engine deliver a wide range of performance with an exciting rush up to redline. The muffler has a pleasing appearance while creating an exciting, distinctive sound.
