Yes, great use of that motor, it's a trooper. But it is more than just a lanky GSX-S1000GT (where do they get this many characters from?) The electronic suspension is a first for them and they have chosen a superb implementation.
Not a first for other manufacturers of course but the rear preload alone is well thought out with full auto implementation, which you can still tweak or you can choose one of three manual settings. In auto preload the rider weight and any pillion & luggage will also modify the damping on the front and rear shock to compensate for that weight. That's just the preload input, damping is pretty advanced too, way better than my 2023 GS.

Over here in gawd forsaken Brampton, Ontario, Canada - leave this beastie chained up outside and expect to return seeing no cat. For many riders, ultimately that would not be a problem, unless your regional ministry of transportation expects to see it there.
Suzuki did one of the best implementations trying to hide it.
Leave this or any bike in Dublin these days and you are unlikely to see the bike let alone the cat
