From there, the fundamental capabilities that make a great sportbike were distilled down to three words: run, stop, and turn – making the new GSX-R1000R run better, turn better, and stop better than any other sportbike.

The GSX-R’s compact and lightweight engine provides class-leading power that is delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. This versatile engine is equally suited for driving hard out of a racetrack corner or accelerating effortlessly onto a public highway.

Features may include:

Based upon the Team Suzuki ECSTAR livery, the GSX-R1000R 100th anniversary edition features a metallic blue and silver paint scheme.

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.

Advanced electronics include an IMU, adjustable traction control, the Suzuki Bi-Directional Quick Shift System, and Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, plus the GSX-R1000R–specific Motion Track Anti-lock Brake** and Launch Control Systems to increase street and track-day performance.
