The 2017 iteration of Suzuki's flagship super-naked motorcycle, the GSX-S1000 gets a power-hike, with the motorcycle now producing 150hp and 108Nm of torque. Thanks to the new crankcase ventilation holes, while a new slipper clutch aids in smoother downshifts.

The faired avatar of the GSX-S1000 also gets the changes mentioned above which use the same engine and chassis as its naked sibling. But changes to suspension settings and the addition of a wind tunnel-tested fairing turn it into a versatile sports motorcycle.

Both models also feature a three-mode traction control system, that can be turned off, Brembo monobloc calipers and ABS, a lightweight frame mated to the swingarm from the previous generation GSX-R1000, and a fully adjustable KYB suspension.
