The new Daytona uses the Trident naked as a base, with a number of internal revisions to provide an increase in performance, power ist a claimed 93.7bhp at 11,250 rpm which is around 17% more than the Trident, with just under 70nM of torque peaking at 8,250 rpm about 9% extra over the Trident, 80% of which is on tap from just 3,125 rpm, that’s good – more torque lower down in the rev range makes the bike much more useful in everyday situations and possibly a bit faster off the line and out of corners

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).
