Suzuki GSR1000

We don’t want to know how our friends at Oliepeil got onto the INTERMOT show floor ahead of its official press opening tomorrow, but the crafty Dutch bloggers have spotted a number of machines that the OEMs had laying around uncovered.

Of course we have been expecting something like a Suzuki GSR1000 for some time now, and just a few months ago, a naked bike badged as the Suzuki GSX-S1000 was spied while it was filming a commercial in Southern California.

Now it seems that Suzuki will be releasing a full-faired version of the bike as well, as it has been spotted on the INTERMOT showroom floor next to its naked compatriot.

It appears that reports of a 2015 Suzuki GSX-S1000 debuting later this year are true, as we bring to you a couple photos of the streetfighter in the flesh.

Based off the Suzuki GSX-R1000 platform, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 features the same chassis and four-cylinder engine (likely in a different state of tune than the one found in the superbike), though with a more upright sitting position.

From what we can see in the photos, the GSX-S1000 will continue the aggressive styling we’ve seen coming out of Japan lately, especially in the liter-bike naked segment, and it seems Suzuki has opted to continue to partner with Brembo for its braking components.

Other features are rumored to include ABS and traction control, with the wheel-discs for those electronics are visible in the photo above.
