Since its launch more than a decade ago, the GSX-R1000 has been synonymous with the invitation to Own The Racetrack.

The latest advances in engine technology are remarkable to boost performance potential. Chassis enhancements deliver even better control. And styling refinements evoke the performance and handling advances. Still the one, The only one, The GSX-R1000 Own The Racetrack.

• Thanks to Suzuki 's uncompromising efforts to shave excess weight, the 2012 GSX-R1000 is 2kg lighter than its predecessor.
• The 4-2-1 exhaust system, carrying a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve maximizing torque and improving throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid rpm range. And less weight at the back of the bike means better mass-centralization, turns into better handling performance.
• 999cm3 4-cylinder powerplant, with Bore x stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm brings enhanced throttle response across the entire rpm range and high potential for racetrack performance.
• The compact engine enabled short wheelbase and 32mm long swingarm at the same time to improve racetrack performance.
• 12-hole fuel injectors produce a fine fuel mist for more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
• Lighter, more durable forged pistons designed with the same Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used for MotoGP racing engines, and consequently the pistons are 11% lighter.
