Suzuki GSX-R1000 is ready to own the racetrack or deliver an exhilarating ride on the road.
The latest
GSX-R1000 features significant upgrades across the board, including a
completely re-designed engine and chassis, with major suspension, brake
and bodywork developments.
The 999cc, four-cylinder,
liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, featuring the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve
(SDTV) fuel-injection system, is lighter and shorter and delivers
improved performance and throttle response throughout the entire rpm
range, while also reducing emissions.
Developed on the racetrack,
the new Suzuki is fitted with two large-volume, MotoGP-inspired
titanium mufflers and a large and efficient trapezoidal-shaped radiator
to reduce drag.
With a new layout, ratios in the six-speed
transmission have been carefully selected for optimum racetrack
performance, while the GSX-R1000 is also fitted with a revised
back-torque-limiting clutch offering improved lever feel and feedback.
The
compact engine enabled engineers to create an all-new, more compact
chassis, with a new twin-spar cradle frame, 10mm-shorter wheelbase and
33mm-longer swingarm, improving handling and acceleration on the
racetrack.
Co-developed by Suzuki and Showa engineers and proven
in the gruelling Suzuka 8 Hour, the GSX-R1000 features a revolutionary
Big Piston Frontfork (BPF) front suspension system.
If it sounds good on paper, the GSX-R1000 feels even better on the road or track.
Ride it yourself and experience the sheer performance of the world's most successful open-class racing machine.
Features
999cm3
4-cylinder powerplant, designed 59.6mm lighter and shorter from front
to rear, delivers more power and torque and enhanced throttle response
across the entire rpm range.
The new compact engine enabled 10mm shorter wheelbase and 33mm longer swing-arm to improve racetrack performance.
New,
more over-square bore x stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm (changed from 73.4mm
x 59.0mm) gives the engine better overall tuning potential. The
compression ratio is now 12.8:1, changed from 12.5:1.
The
engine employs enlarged titanium valves in diameter, forged pistons,
shot-peened conrods and Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material
(SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the crankcase, reducing
friction and improving heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
12-hole fuel injectors produce a finer fuel mist for more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Suzuki
Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of three
performance settings to suit riding conditions and personal tastes. Now
the switch is relocated on the left handlebar control module.
Iridium spark plugs produce a stronger spark for better combustion.
Large,
efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team
racebikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag.
Cable-operated back-torque-limiting clutch makes for efficient clutch operation with superb feel.
Unique
Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) uses an under-engine chamber and
low-slung, large-volume MotoGP-inspired titanium mufflers.
Twin-spar
cradle frame made of five cast sections, mated with an arched swing-arm
made of three castings and one-piece die-cast rear sub-frame.
Big
Piston Frontforks (BPF) with an endurance-race-proven design deliver
superb feedback and responsive, stable operation, and are lightweight.
Rear shock absorber features adjustable rebound damping, spring preload, and both high-speed and low-speed compression damping.
Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and rigid, lightweight race-proven monoblock forged radial-mount calipers.
The edgy and clean GSX-R1000 styling incorporates fairing and bodywork details aimed at reducing turbulence and drag.
Attention
to rider comfort includes a carefully shaped seat and adjustable
footpegs. Tail section cover included for solo rides or track days.
Sculpted fuel tank is lighter, while capacity remains 17.5 litres.
New
look multi-reflector headlight with vertically stacked high and
low-beam halogen bulbs centered between position lights on each side.
For Europe, the position lights each have layered lenses with blue coloring on the inside lens for an even sportier look.
Front and rear turn signals feature clear lenses over amber bulbs.
Instruments
include a silver-ringed analog tachometer with LCD speedometer. LCD
readouts include odometer, dual trip meters, reserve trip meter, clock,
coolant temperature/oil pressure warning indicator, gear position
indicator, lap timer/stopwatch, S-DMS setting indicator and bar-graph
indicating the instrument lighting level or brightness.
