Riding the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GT 

GSXS 1000 GT

The Bike: The Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GT. Starting at R253,950 you get Suzukis legendary K5 derived 4 banger 999cc engine, kicking out 106nM’s of torque and 152Hp. The bike tips the scales at 226 kg’s – that’s a 1.5 power to weight ratio. We topped up the 16 lt fuel tank at the start of our ride and did a total of 310 km before topping up again. That took just 15lt’s to top off the tank again, which gave us a figure of just over 20 kays per litre which included a lot of speed limit riding but also a significant amount of hard and fast riding. (Suzuki SA doesn’t publish any claimed fuel figures, but that is what we got with mixed riding).
