Suzuki GSX-S1000 2025

After hundreds of kilometres on the road and on the track, one thing remains clear: the Suzuki GSX-S1000 is not the most extreme, not the fastest, not the most high-tech naked bike. It is something else - it is the most honest. It is a wonderfully mature machine. With high-quality and reliable ingredients, a look full of character and a great engine. Thanks to the tough competition, Suzuki has also brought the price into realistic spheres.
