What Is It?

The GSX-R1000R is a premium track focused sports bike and is powered by a Euro 4 compliant liquid cooled 999.8 cc inline four engine, producing 199.2 bhp at 13,200 rpm and maximum torque at 10,800 rpm.

Features include:

• Aluminium frame and swingarm
• Dual 320 mm discs up front with Brembo four piston monobloc calipers
• 220 mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston caliper
• Cornering ABS
• Adjustable Showa racing Balance Free Front (BFF) fork
• Adjustable Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock
• Assist and slipper clutch
• 10-level traction control 
• Anti-stoppie system
• Electronic steering damper
• Three ride modes
• LED lighting
• Adjustable levers
• Easy start system
• Low RPM assist
• 4->2->1 exhaust system with Titanium muffler
• 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator

The limited production run builds on the £2,850 cheaper GSX-R1000 with fancy Showa suspension, a bi-directional quickshifter, launch control system, lighter upper triple clamp and light weight battery.

There are also some cosmetic details such as the LCD dash being inverted with a cool black face and LED position lights but it's 1 kg heavier.

The engine uses Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to increase high end power without sacrificing anything low down. Suzuki's implementation of VVT is simple but effective, using 12 Steel balls in slanted grooves within the intake cam sprocket and centrifugal force to shift them at high rpms.

The new 6-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 Bridgestone Battlax Street RS10 tyre at the front and a 190/55 at the rear.
