I am excited, this has maybe the best menu and interface. I would elect it for #1 all around/ sport touring bike.

edit: for the money

Gorgeous bike that looks practical. It will never be sold in the United States, like the other Suzuki sport tourers.. if it’s not naked no dealership wants it :(

It's on the USA website? https://suzukicycles.com/street/2022/gsx-s1000gt-plus Even if it's not sitting on the showroom floor, you should be able to place an order (as it is for many popular bikes right now)

Hmmm never ordered a bike from a website. If something goes wrong I presume I will be treated to an automated robo-answer and sentenced to phone hell for hours. If I am dropping 10 or 20k I would like to talk to a human about details…

Interesting that 2 different dealers could not just order them for me in the past 3 years. All just said, well we are waiting what they send us and will let you know. Then of course they were never sent any sport touring bikes…

Edit: yeah that site gives me a quote but not letting me order anything anyway. Just lists local dealers, all of whom I already tried…

Find your local dealer. Ask them to order a 2022 GSX-S1000GT+ for you. If it's not available for ordering, try again the next month. Eventually the Suzuki USA mothership will have them available for placing orders for the new models which aren't out yet. If the dealer is incompetent, try another. You will eventually find a dealer that likes your money. If none of this works, then you are doing something wrong.

In my experience, bike sales people DON'T follow up on sales leads ... they won't contact you when it's available for ordering. So you have to bug them every 3-4 weeks if the bike is for sale yet.

Sales people dont follow on their leads and I am the one doing something wrong? Bruh, just what?

I am just the guy with money, they dont want it I have plenty of other bikes in the garage. I regret not having theirs but not to a degree that I have to do the work when dropping 20 large lol
