This review was created by Kirk Johnson from Phoenix Bikers for all the motorcycle enthusiasts. I’ll post a review every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of a different motorcycle on this page. If you have any questions or want to request a motorcycle you’d like reviewed, please email me at kirkinphx@gmail.com.
Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+ (2026) — from $16,499
GSX-S1000GX+ adds the higher equipment pack — more electronics/comfort over base GX.
Still value-forward versus BMW/Ducati badges. Spec the Plus if you want fewer accessory trips.
Same liter motivation, fuller street kit.
From a Phoenix garage point of view, that matters: summer heat, monsoon oil slicks, and freeway miles on the 10/17 stack reward honest ergonomics and modern rider aids more than brochure poetry.
Who it’s for: riders wanting equipped Suzuki sport-tour
Who should look elsewhere: base GX bargains
Bottom line: GX+ — more kit, same Suzuki punch
Plus pack worth it on the GX?
