2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 Ergonomics & Rider Fit

Will you fit on the GSX-S1000? The updated version of Suzuki's popular nakedbike remains an inviting machine, with a relatively low seat height, repositioned bars for a more relaxed rider triangle and an even more refined overall package, including futuristic styling.
At 180 cm and with a 32 inch inseam the GSX-S1000 fits me ideally, with a good seat to peg ratio that allows easy locking into the bike, weight through the pegs and movement across the seat, without feeling cramped.
The bars have been moved towards the rider, and ensure a relaxed position on the bike with a natural easy view down the road, and no stress on the back, neck or arms.
Add adjustable suspension to suit a wider variety of riders, a comfortable seat and an electronics package with ABS and TC and all the bases are covered for most riders.

I have the 750 as im a returning older rider. The 750 is probably perfect for me as the power isn't overwhelming and its nice to slowly get my skills back.

[@MotoJournoKris]

I love the 750, I actually preferred it over the previous generation GSX-S1000. Less power, but smoother, easy thing to handle, plenty of fun, and really hard to beat value too.

[@rleon8339]

I'm 5'7" with a 29" inseam and this bike fits me perfectly.

[@amygdal3501]

flat foot?

[@rileystanek]

I've always wanted a 750cc inline four. Current bike is a CB650R. Now, come on Suzuki, give us an updated GSX-S750!

[@MotoJournoKris]

Tell me about it, I always thought the 750 was the perfect mid-point!

[@ronaldthomas9396]

I love the gray color and the styling of the Bike!

[@MotoJournoKris]

It's pretty cool isn't it! Would be fun to add some red details too I think. Give it a bit more visual pop!

[@ronaldthomas9396]

@@MotoJournoKris red would destroy the look for me!

[@MotoJournoKris]

@@ronaldthomas9396 Fair enough!

[@geokrpan7527]

Love that bike!

[@MotoJournoKris]

Cool isn't it!

[@Craig.Bentley]

bikes come with two seats but rarely does anyone cover pillion point of view. It's a sports bike so won't be great, but it's something that matters to myself.

[@MotoJournoKris]

I'd have liked to cover it more, but not having a pillion along it ends up mainly being conjecture. I'd rather get a solid opinion after a days ride with a pillion on board, but just having the bike for a day I couldn't line that up.

[@MJ-rr4hd]

the problem with these kind of bikes is....the footrest pedal...its very high and quite a bit knee bend. but I really like the design. hey buddy can you suggest me some bikes with similar kind of design but a bit low footrest pedal and bit less knee bend? but the design should have..... the headlight to be lower than tank but the pillion seat is higher or at least same height as the tank.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Probably your best bet is grabbing a set of adjustable rearsets so you can move the 'peg around a little, most of these hypernaked 1000 cc bikes seem to maintain a fairly sporty seat to peg ratio. You just want to watch ground clearance the lower you drop the peg.

[@user-yo4hj1ve4x]

what do you think about the seat? I tested it and found it a bit hard and footpegs high. Maybe the optional suzuki seat is softer? Not sure seems just nicer finish.. I think most competitors bikes are not great comfort either? nice content, thank you

[@MotoJournoKris]

Yea standard seats tend to be good for an hour or two, especially on this style of bike, but the foam density of the seat and how comfortable riders find that can really vary between riders too. Especially for longer rides, or full day rides a comfort seat is the way to go if you ask me. It also gives you a little more stretch to the pegs which is nice, as generally the seat height is pushed up too.

[@maxiviman]

I'm 6'4" with a 34" inseam. Would this bike fit me ?

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Great video. Useful info here. Keep up bro and drop by for the F900xr on Sunday. :)

[@MotoJournoKris]

Cheers, will do!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@MotoJournoKris Thanks mate.

[@VenkataLeelakrishnaChebiyyam]

inseam 30 inch, will this bike suits me? can i flat foot?

[@MotoJournoKris]

One foot yes, I'm not sure you'd manage both feet however. You should get a fair bit of both feet down though.

[@АлександрГалкин-х2б]

the motorcycle is certainly good, but after a ride I was horrified at how powerful it is, you can barely touch the throttle handle, it's already flying, although the power mode was With and trackshen 5, it probably should have bought the S750 or Ninja1000. Why does the light turn on when the ignition is turned on, can't the light turn on after the starter?

[@MotoJournoKris]

Yep it's still an absolute weapon at the end of the day. Particularly coming from a smaller machine, that's very noticeable. Not sure about the light though, may be a safety thing for visibility!

[@tomquinn607]

TFT gauges should be standard on a bike this price. Analog combination better yet.

[@MotoJournoKris]

I'd probably forgive them based on the price, but it is rapidly becoming the norm, even on the small capacity machines.

[@rileystanek]

@@MotoJournoKris I agree, this LCD does look pleasing to the eye

[@mightymouse6293]

The gauge they got it from the old katana bike

[@rleon8339]

I have this bike and like it a lot, but the LCD display is absolutely rubbish. Even the new GSXS-8 p-twin gets a nice TFT.

[@swarajsandhu]

How tall are you?

[@MotoJournoKris]

I'm 180 cm, 32 inch inseam.

[@1990-t1j]

The litre inline-four I'd have.

[@MotoJournoKris]

My thought as well, the Z H2 is probably the main competition, but I'd need a bigger budget for that!

[@fahimmuntasir6666]

My hight 5" 5. Can i ride thik.bike

[@MotoJournoKris]

Inseam would be a better reference point I'd say, as far as whether you can comfortably get a foot down.

[@bblueangel2]

Everything you could ask for u say? Even the Mt 09 has assisted driving mode

[@MotoJournoKris]

What feature are you calling 'assisted driving mode'?

[@bblueangel2]

@@MotoJournoKris cruise control

[@MotoJournoKris]

@@bblueangel2 Oh gotcha, yea that would be a nice inclusion. Seems like you have to pay the premium for the GT version to get that.
