However, the bike looks very sporty and competent with a small front fascia that has a single headlamp setup with pilot lamps placed beneath it. 

The turn indicators have been placed on the upper hand corners of the headlamp unit that have been occupied by a nicely styled naked fairing. On the sideways, the GSX-S1000 looks very ravishing and the best among all other sports bikes. It has been offered a comparatively smaller fuel tank than other motorcycles in its segment. An aggressive appeal can be seen on the extensions of the Z-shaped fuel tank.

The Credit to the flexibility and athletic riding quality of the Suzuki GSX-S1000 goes to the compact size of the motorcycle. This motorcycle has been offered with a set of inverted hydraulic telescopic forks on the front and a linked mono-shock on the rear.

But the engine has been lowered a bit to make it easy to make it suitable for urban road conditions. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 has been offered with a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, and inline-four 999cc engine that churns out a power output of 140 PS with a maximum torque of 100 Nm after the recent changes.
