On obtient même plus que ce qui est indiqué sur le papier, mais pour cela, il faut d'abord que le quatre cylindres en ligne monte en régime. En tant que pilote, on a en tout cas l'impression d'être encore aux commandes, même si la GSX-S n'est plus totalement dépourvue de systèmes d'assistance à la conduite de série - qui fonctionnent très bien.
