In terms of features, it is loaded up to the brim with a 6.5-inch TFT instrument console, smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, cruise control, traction control and an all-LED lighting etc among others.

Hardware

Based on the twin-spar aluminium frame it gets an additional bolt-on subframe for added practicality. At the front, the GSX-S1000GT sits on an adjustable 43mm KYB inverted fork while at the back, there’s an adjustable monoshock unit to handle all the suspension duties. For rider’s safety, this new tourer gets twin 310mm discs (front) with Brembo Calipers available as standard.
