Is the Suzuki GSX-S1000 good for beginners?

The Suzuki GSX-S1000 makes around 152 hp (113 kW) @ 11,000 rpm, so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the Suzuki GSX-S1000 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 810mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Suzuki GSX-S1000 good for touring?

Yes, for range. The 19L tank gives a useful distance between fuel stops, which suits longer days. Real touring comfort also depends on the screen, seat and wind protection.
