Suzuki Motorcycles has released a teaser for the latest iteration of its litre-class naked offering, the GSX-S1000. The new (2021) Suzuki GSX-S1000 motorcycle is scheduled to be globally unveiled on April 26, 2021.

The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 motorcycle is expected to receive a number of significant updates and revisions compared to its outgoing version. This includes updates to the bike’s aesthetics, as well as a host of new features and electronics offering assistance to the riders.



The teaser also reveals the motorcycle's newly-designed set of LED headlamps, which are flanked on either side by winglets, offering a more aggressive look. This sporty and aggressive theme is said to be carried on other parts of the motorcycle as well.

In terms of powertrain, the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 could receive a reworked version of the same engine. The updated engine is expected to comply with the latest emission norms while producing over 200 BHP.



The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 will go on sale in international markets in the coming months. It is also expected to be introduced in India at a later stage. Once launched, it will take on rivals such as the Aprilia Tuono V4, BMW S1000R and the Triumph Speed Triple.

Suzuki has updated the 999cc inline-four motor to be Euro 5 compliant. With a touch more peak power than the outgoing model, now sitting at 152 PS (150 bhp) peaking at 11,000 rpm, plenty of focus has been placed on the delivery of power in the low to mid rev ranges to enjoy a broader spread of torque which you'll notice with normal riding. Updated internals include a new intake and exhaust camshaft with revised cam profiles, new valve springs, clutch, airbox, and new exhaust retaining the recognizable aggressive grunt, yet stuffed with an additional catalytic converter for emissions reasons.

Updated electronic throttle bodies, with a new ride-by-wire throttle, advances the electronic suite past the previous model, with a host of rider aids & options updated in 2021 for increased performance. The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) and Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) with three modes (A through C), will all aim to boost controllability by adjusting the sharpness and immediacy of the delivery of power to the rear wheel, with an assist function added to the slipper clutch, and the Suzuki Clutch Assist system - which aims to prevent the rear tyre locking up under heavy downshifts.

Also thrown in this year are a quickshifter and auto-blipper, a new traction control system with five modes, and Suzuki low-rpm assist. All the selections being made through an updated LCD dash, yanked from the GSX-R1000!

2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 globally unveiled

Suzuki has globally unveiled the 2021 GSX-S1000. The new (2021) Suzuki GSX-S1000 naked street bike features a completely new design, featuring a much sharper and aggressive styling than its predecessors.



The 2021 GSX-S1000 motorcycle features a uniquely-designed vertically-stacked LED headlamps, a sculpted fuel tank with extended shrouds, a split seat and a compact exhaust, all of which give the litre-class motorcycle very aerodynamic and sporty appeal.



The new Suzuki GSX-S1000 is powered by a 999cc, in-line four-cylinder DOHC engine, updated to comply with the latest Euro 5 emission norms. The engine produces 150 BHP @ 11,000 rpm and 108 Nm @ 9,500 rpm.



The new GSX-S1000 comes with inverted telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock suspension setup at the rear. Braking is handled by discs at both ends, supported by dual-channel ABS as standard.



Suzuki has also packed the naked litre-class sports bike with a host of features and rider-aids. These include bi-directional quick-shifter, auto-blipper, Suzuki intelligent rider system, Suzuki drive mode selector, 5-stage traction control, 3-riding modes and a new digital instrument cluster.



The new Suzuki GSX-S1000 will be offered in Triton Blue, Matte Mechanical Grey and Glass Sparkle Black colours.

The latest iteration of the GSX-S1000 could make its way to the Indian market, considering its predecessor was on sale in India. However, Suzuki is yet to make an official statement on the same.

Really in love with the way it looks in the Blue shade makes it a proper streetfighter.

Just hope the the throttle is not snappy anymore at low speeds and could have had a TFT screen and more potent brakes but then this is one affordable liter naked in the market with the legendary k5 engine

In the UK this would be out later part of June and maybe can be expected in India somewhere in September/October.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks menacing for a change, something that the prior design theme lacked.

The plastic trim below the tank looks a bit ungainly, but that’s just nitpicking. For a change, this is a fantastic design by Suzuki, hats off! Thank god they didn’t hire the same person who designed the ugly Katana.

IMHO, Suzuki should’ve considered launching this in India instead of the Katana, which has a weird design theme that appeals to few, instead of many.

The Katana also gets a puny 14l tank as opposed to the 19l on this new GSX S1000.

If anyone at Suzuki India bothers to listen to enthusiasts, please, pretty please, get this GSX S1000 here. Not every Indian wants to buy only the Hayabusa!

Yes, looks like a proper streetfighter and those wings have been integrated well with the overall design and doesn't look like a afterthought like in some other bikes.

Suzkui will definitely launch this In India and as most Eurpean markets might get theirs only by later part of June/July we could expect this around the festive season later this year in India.

When this was launched in 2015 the difference between this and the Hayabusa in India was just over a lac for the CKD version which reduced further when Octroi was taken out in Mumbai. However, now the difference between this and Gen 3 will be much higher and hopefully people won't purchase a Busa over this just for the price

Some english test ride reviews have started coming in and Chris from Bike World has done an excellent job once again

But, it seems Suzuki are just not able to fix the snappy throttle in A mode
