Result

The new Suzuki GSX-S 1000 2025 is not that new. Except for Euro5+ and the TFT display, nothing has changed. Is that a bad thing? Nope, we don't think so, because the GSX-S has always been a racy streetfighter and has not lost this character even with Euro5+ homologation.

We received the test machine from Bergmann & Söhne in Tornesch. There she stands as a demonstrator and is looking forward to many test drives.
