For 2007, MotoGP rules were changed to allow a maximum displacement of 800 cc. Suzuki introduced an 800 cc version of the GSV-R also known as GSV-R800. The GSV-R800 was codenamed XRG0 because of its newly redesigned engine based on displacement limitations. The new XRG0 engine was based from the layout of the 2006 990cc GSV-R however, the XRG0 engines bore, stroke, and cylinder pitch had been redesigned to better suit the 800cc engine displacement. The Factory [[Rizla]] [[Suzuki MotoGP]] team stated the new engines aim was to ‘achieve the best possible horsepower and reliable high rpm operation, and to provide the riders with user friendly power delivery and predictable engine character.’ The XRG0 was also equipped with a redesigned Engine control unit supplied by Mitsubishi, capable of producing 220 horsepower at 17,500rpm. The [[Chassis]] layout and wheelbase length from the 2006 GSV-R XRE4 used in the 2006 [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|MotoGP]] season remained on the new model, however the [[Motorcycle fairing|fairing]] design had been updated to better accommodate high speed stability. <ref name="2007 XRG0 info ">{{cite web |url=http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2007/02/rizla-suzuki-unveil-new-xrg0-gsv-r800.html |title= Rizla Suzuki unveil the new XRG0 GSV-R800 |accessdate=2010-02-22 |format=HTML |publisher=FasterandFaster.net |language=English}} </ref> | For 2007, MotoGP rules were changed to allow a maximum displacement of 800 cc.

The 2008 [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|MotoGP]] season brought another redesigned GSV-R800 that Suzuki codenamed XRG1 as the successor to the XRG0 of the previous year. This second generation 800cc four-stroke prototype was the most complex and technically advanced racing motorcycle Suzuki had ever produced at its time. The XRG1 had been developed closely with team riders [[Chris Vermeulen]] and [[Loris Capirossi]] and the feedback from the [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|MotoGP]] team and Suzuki test engineers. A key focus area in refining the XRG1 was improving acceleration. This was accomplished by refining every detail of the 2007 XRG0 engine and an updated Mitsubishi ECU. The resulted engine redesigning provided lower fuel consumption and increased usability. Further refinements of the XRG0 chassis for the 2008 XRG1 allowed for better cornering performance and change of direction. Along with the chassis refinements, a newly designed [[Motorcycle fairing|fairing]] was developed to reduce wind resistance to enhance handling characteristics. <ref name="2008 XRG1 info ">{{cite web |url=http://www.highrevs.net/motogp_news/suzuki-officially-presents-gsv-r-motogp-racer-211108.php |title= Suzuki officially presents GSV-R MotoGP racer |accessdate=2010-02-22 |format=HTML |publisher=HighRevs.net |language=English}} </ref> | The 2008 [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|MotoGP]] season brought another redesigned GSV-R800 that Suzuki codenamed XRG1 as the successor to the XRG0 of the previous year.
