Suzuki calls the bike a “crossover”—mirroring the language used in the car market for vehicles that have the taller stature and rugged stance of SUVs but aren’t really designed to be used off-road. It might seem to be a small niche, tucked between the GSX-S1000GT tourer and the V-Strom 1050 (itself a bike that’s oriented more toward the street than the trail), but for Suzuki the GSX-S1000GX is a relatively easy way to use existing components to expand its model range, appealing to a slightly different customer who might not be interested in either the GT or the V-Strom.
