Suzuki Built the GSX-10RS Just for American Riders
Share
American sportbike riders are getting a dedicated liter-class machine built strictly for the home turf.
At EICMA, Suzuki showed two new 2027 liter-class machines: the GSX-10R and the GSX-10RS. The GSX-10RS was created specifically and exclusively for the United States motorcycle market. Both models put down power through a 999cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four cylinder engine derived from the GSX-R platform.
The electronics package gets a big setup as well. Suzuki loaded both machines with an expanded Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) electronics suite that features 15 rider assistance functions. Among those 15 systems are Suzuki's first lateral Slide Control System, factory cruise control, and a Brake Hold Control System aimed at aggressive street riding.
For riders in the U.S., this brings a street-focused literbike platform built around American rider preferences and ergonomics, paired with modern electronic safety aids.
Does an American-exclusive 999cc street machine with slide control sound like what you want in your garage?
