SUZUKI’S STREET SPORTS
Back in the day, you could buy a trackbike or a streetbike, and many riders chose the latter then modified it to be as close to being a trackbike as they could.
Race replicas were born and the manufacturers took notice. Sportsbikes started to resemble trackbikes more and more with each passing year. These days, many sportsbikes are simply racetrack refugees, awesome when you’ve got your knee down at 150km/h, but uncomfortable, uncompromising and inconvenient on public roads.
Suzuki’s GSX-S1000F wants to break out of that mould by being a sportsbike that isn’t a race replica, built for the road, not for the track. And it’s over seven grand cheaper than its track-focussed high-performance cousin, the GSX-R1000.
Where does the money go when you buy the latest and greatest flagship bike? Often into the research and development of the new technologies, into the more frequent updates and shorter model cycles of those trick machines, into the racing budgets…
