There are additional suffixes added to the GS “road going” moniker such as GSX (just Gran Sport eXperimental) for the Katana motorcycles or GSF (the F stands for something in Japanese that I can’t remember but generally indicates a sporting but not race replica trim) for the Bandit motorcycles. To be noted, the Hayabusa is technically not a GSXR but some hybrid between the that and the Katana given it’s model moniker GSX1300R.

Also to be noted, Suzuki’s non-road legal race bikes are coded as XR for just eXperimental Racing.
