From the very beginning the GSX-R1000 was ahead of its time. 10 years on and the
GSX-R1000 is still a legendary case study in high-performance design. Continually
evolving using the experience and direct feedback of race teams, it has lived up
to the promise to Own The Racetrack by delivering race winning performances around
the world, year on year.
Having redefined the high-performance Superbike category in 1985, the GSX-R750 has
consistently outperformed anything else in its class. Would-be competitors finally
gave up racing against it and stopped building 750cc Superbikes altogether. With
an unmatched combination of excellent throttle response, linear power delivery, strong
braking from the Brembo monoblocs, confident handling and amazing power-to-weight
ratio, not only is the new model the perfect combination of power, weight and handling,
it’s quite simply the best GSX-R750 ever made.
For this complete redesign of the GSX-R600, Suzuki engineers have analysed every
component. Could they be made lighter and smaller whilst maintaining strength and
durability? This detailed work has produced a GSX-R600 which is an astonishing 9kg
lighter than its predecessor, with a class leading power-to-weight ratio. The GSX-R600
is the first production Suzuki motorcycle to directly benefit from design techniques
and technologies used on their MotoGP machines.
