In this episode of MC Commute, we saddle up on the 2025 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+, Suzuki’s first true adventure-sport machine. Bridging the gap between upright adventure ergonomics and high-performance streetbike manners, the GX+ brings the rip-roaring heart of a GSX-R1000 to the open road with long-distance comfort and cutting-edge tech. From its semi-active electronic suspension to its smooth-shifting quickshifter and refined ride-by-wire throttle, Suzuki’s latest addition proves itself as a capable daily rider, weekend tourer, and backroad carver all in one. Tune in as we put the GX+ through its paces in real-world conditions and see what it’s like to ride.
