The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.

superior engine

excellent shift assistant including blipper

balanced handling

bold design

comfortable seating position

very good price

Electronics package not very comprehensive

no 6-axis IMU, no cornering ABS

instruments on the handlebars somewhat antiquated

display not particularly easy to read
