Suzuki released the heavily-revised GSX-S1000 in April, 2021. However, in Europe, the GSX-S950 naked bike followed in the GSX-S1000's wake. Both models boast the same equipment but Suzuki detuned the GSX-S950's K5 GSX-R1000-derived engine to produce 94 horsepower. Those power concessions also cater to beginner riders, allowing A2 customers to reduce the max output to 48 ponies.
The GSX-S950's versatility makes the roadster a practical option for many urban riders and city commuters, but the House of Hamamatsu wanted to put the naked’s performance potential on full display. To achieve that task, Suzuki France turned to Nouvelle-Aquitaine-based custom shop AD Koncept.
