The new fuel tank increases capacity to 19L, without appearing larger. This benefits the rider by reducing the frequency of refuelling stops, giving a range of 194 miles possible based on the official WMTC fuel consumption of 46.31MPG.

The chassis features a compact, lightweight package that makes the GSX-S1000 agile and predictable for a high-performance, large-displacement street bike. Its twin-spar aluminium frame helps deliver sharp handling and great road holding ability, while its straight main tubes are ideal for achieving high rigidity and low weight. All this connects to a ruggedly braced aluminium swingarm that further contributes to the road gripping character that lets you ride with confidence.

The 43mm KYB inverted front forks give a ride that is smooth yet sporty. They feature 120mm of stroke and fully adjustable damping, rebound, compression and spring preload settings. The link-type rear suspension with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload settings reacts efficiently to varying road surfaces to maintain an agile and stable feel while helping offer up to 130mm of rear wheel travel. The suspension settings are tested and tuned to best match the internal structure of the tyre and realise precise handling and improved steering into corners.

In addition to the prominent headlight the GSX-S1000 also adopt front and rear indicators with LEDs in a thin bar-shaped housings that extend straight outward. While at the rear a thin, flatly shaped rear combination light uses LEDs for high visibility and long life. It is a double lens design that emphasises the stylish lines of the compact tail section.

The goal of the design concept is to visually express the potential of a motorcycle capable of such high performance, and to convey the refinement and sophistication of a product designed to handle more predictably, with greater controllability on any type of ride. Its sharp lines, radical new headlight design, and slim front and rear end sections highlighting the muscular bulk of its mid-section combine to create an aggressive stance that speaks of power and performance potential.
