Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015 is a roadster unveiled this autumn at Intermot. It is based on GSX-R1000 and comes with a full-faired version.

Suzuki tries to fight with motorcycles like BMW S 1000 R and Kawasaki Z1000. So, they dropped off the GSX-R1000 fairings and built a streetfighter. The engine comes from K7 model (2005-2007) but has some revised elements for better street performance. Among them, the pistons. This could be translated this way: GSX-S1000 doesn’t have the same power as the superbike but the torque is accessible at lower revs. Suzuki didn’t reveal the performance figures yet, but we think the new streetfighter should make around 140 horsepower.
