GSX-R1000

The most powerful GSX-R ever

The latest-generation 999.8cm3 in-line four cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine, is the most powerful, hardest accelerating GSX-R engine ever built. Producing 148.6kW (202ps) @13,200rpm with 117.6Nm of torque @10,800rpm. The design target was simple “Increase top end power without sacrificing low and mid range output” to achieve this Suzuki engineers had to employ advanced MotoGP derived technologies known as the Broad Power System.

Broad Power System

The Suzuki Racing VVT (SR-VVT), Suzuki Exhaust Tuning-Alpha (SET-A) and Suzuki Top Feed Injector (S-TFI) systems combine to make the Broad Power System, the engineering goal was to increase high-rpm performance without reducing low and mid-range performance. The results of this system  is strong, linear power and enhanced acceleration throughout the rpm range

• Motion Track TCS

  The rider can chose from 10 levels of Motion Track TCS intervention: Mode 1 is the minimum, Mode 10 is the maximum intervention level. Modes 1-4 are designed for racetrack riding; Modes 5-8 are designed for street riding; and Modes 9-10 are designed for slippery road conditions.

• Bi-Directional Quick Shift System

  A racing-type bi-directional quick shift system, allows the rider to up-shift and downshift without using the clutch or the throttle.

• Launch Control [R-Model]

  Launch control system makes it easier for a racer to get a good start in competition by automatically limiting engine rpm and optimising torque delivery while the rider holds the throttle wide open and concentrates on releasing the clutch lever.

• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector

  Using the S-DMS switch on the left handlebar, the rider can select three different mapping and engine power delivery settings designed to match power delivery to various ambient conditions, such as riding on different racetracks, or on tight twisty roads, or in urban settings, or in traffic, or on straight and open highways.

SHOWA BFRCⓇ lite (Balance Free Rear Cushion lite) Rear Shock [R-Model]

BFRC® lite rear shock absorber balances (equalises) oil pressure above and below the solid internal piston as it moves. It’s a difference that the rider can feel on the street and on the racetrack, with riders reporting better feel and drive grip that allowed them to initiate drive sooner and accelerate out of racetrack corners harder. 

SHOWA BFFⓇ (Balance Free Front) forks [R-Model]

Equipped with the latest SHOWA BFF forks, developed for racing use provide more consistent damping and enhanced performance, increasing cornering traction by delivering smoother, more controlled travel and doing a better job of dealing with pavement imperfections. 

• Motion Track Brake System

  The Motion Track Brake System works with the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to constantly monitor vehicle movement in 6-directions along 3-axes, Pitch, Roll and Yaw. Using IMU input, the  system reduces rear-wheel lift during very hard braking on the racetrack. On the premium R-model the system also optimises brake pressure when the motorcycle is leaning during cornering. 

• Brembo Calipers

  Brembo radial-mount, monoblock front brake calipers each have four 32mm pistons and work with a radial-pump, 19mm master cylinder.

• Brembo 320mm Hybrid Discs

  Each disc features a new hybrid mounting system using a 50/50 combination of 5 conventional spring loaded floating pin mounts and 5 Brembo T-drive floating mounts.

• Stainless Steel Brake Lines [R-Model]

  The R Model is equipped with stainless steel brake lines for increased stopping performance.
