Sportbike

GSX-R1000 - In 1985, Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750, and then created another milestone in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the lithe chassis of the GSX-R750 and a 988cc inline four-cylinder engine design that Suzuki is renowned for, Superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

This dedication to performance at the highest level is seen in every aspect of Suzuki sportbike development and the lessons learned in winning the 2020 MotoGP Championship and the impressive victories in the MotoAmerica Championship can be felt in every GSX-R in the series.

A proud member of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2022 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine provides class-leading power delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2022’s compact, light, and strong chassis deliver nimble handling with excellent suspension feel and braking control, ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control* and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork slices through the wind.

Equipped with Showa’s Big-piston Fork plus Brembo T-drive rotors and Monobloc brake calipers the GSX-R1000 help deliver the sort of performance and confidence your favorite canyon road ride or local track day demand. A new Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Matte Mechanical Gray paint scheme with contrasting black graphics joins the popular monochromatic Metallic Matte Black No. 2 body treatment delivering an aggressive look seen on a spy plane.
