2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Ride Review: The Spartan Super Naked

Motorcycle technology continues to develop at a breakneck pace. From semi-active suspension to adaptive cruise control to blind spot detection systems, the industry wades into new technological territory each year. While most OEMs parade their new shiny toys with all-new models and heavily-revised mainstays, Suzuki takes a different route to updating its lineup.

Label it evolution over revolution, or simplicity over complexity. Whatever you want to call it, Suzuki rarely reinvents the wheel when it introduces a new motorcycle. The House of Hamamatsu may prefer baby steps, but when the industry progresses by leaps and bounds, the firm’s latest and greatest can look dated by comparison. That is until the 2022 GSX-S1000 broke cover in April, 2021.
