The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is capable of leading the fast group at track days or winning races but usable and stable on the road. It’s not super fast steering but it’s still a nimble bike. Really hard use can show up weaknesses in the Suzuki GSX-R1000's front brakes. Try fresh fluid and pads but if they doesn’t work, a Brembo 1920 master cylinder should help. | ||

The GSX-R1000 is a select member of the superbike elite club, with the 2001 MY taking off where the 750er left off. Without being significantly bigger or heavier than the traditional 750cc Gixxer, this bike however packs a significant power and torque upgrade. One of the high-performance components is the Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) digital-control exhaust back pressure adjustment. The high-end steel-titanium-aluminum construction of the exhaust system provides dynamic response to the engine revs and maximizes the power deployment. | |||
