2023 Suzuki GSX-R1000

Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750 in 1985, 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, liter-class Superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

A proud member of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2023 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine provides class-leading power that is delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2023’s compact chassis delivers 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 is ready for a ride through the twisties on the street or though chicanes on a track day. A new Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue paint scheme with contrasting blue graphics joins a dark, stealthy Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Sparkle Black body treatment that uses a slash of yellow to further define the GSX-R’s race-ready appearance.

And that is the point, as each GSX-R1000 is poised to Own the Racetrack, imagine what they can accomplish on the street.

Features may include:

• The 2023 GSX-R1000 arrives in a new Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue paint scheme with blue wheels or a new Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Sparkle Black scheme with yellow graphics on the fairing and black wheels.
• Advanced electronics include the Suzuki Bi-Directional Quick Shift System as standard equipment, an Inertia Measurement Unit, S-DMS adjustable engine output, and Traction Control* to increase track and street performance.
• Advanced Showa suspension combines with ABS-equipped Brembo T-drive front brake rotors and four-piston calipers for extraordinary handling and stopping performance.
• The 999cc, DOHC, inline-four engine produces great top-end power with a strong low- to mid-range pull thanks to the exclusive Suzuki Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and the highly efficient 4-2-1 exhaust with a revised muffler and heat shield.
• Twin-spar aluminum frame is lighter and more compact than the prior-generation GSX-R1000 for nimble handling with a high level of grip when cornering.
• Aerodynamic fairing houses a bright LED headlight and Suzuki Ram Air Direct ducts that feed the engine to boost top end power.
• The LED combination tail and brake light assembly has a very low electrical draw, and the vertically stacked shape permits the tail section to be narrow for better air flow at the back of the motorcycle. The license plate is also illuminated by an LED light.
• The GSX-R1000 is equipped with a lightweight and compact battery (YTZ10S, 12V8.6AH).
