Suzuki GSX R1000R

Suzuki has updated the GSX-R1000R for 2021. While it’s not the much-needed Euro-5 update we were hoping for, you do get a special new livery that’ll light up your eyes. Read all about it in our story.

Reports suggest Suzuki could be working on an updated BS6 GSX-R1000. It could get a few tweaks, new electronics, and a powerful engine. Check out our story for full details.

The 2020 Suzuki GSX-R1000R litre-class superbike was launched in Japan, priced at an equivalent of Rs 13.70 lakh and is available in two standard colours (blue and red), along with a special 100th anniversary colour, similar to the 2020 Suzuki MotoGP livery. All the colour variants are priced the same. Check out our launch report for more details.

The motorcycle produces 197PS and 117Nm from the 999cc inline-four engine. The motor is equipped with variable valve technology, three-level riding modes, 10-level traction control system, launch control, bidirectional quickshifter. For added safety, it also gets cornering ABS as standard.

Underpinnings include a Showa BFF (Balance Free Frontfork) and a linked adjustable ShowaBFRC lite (Balance Free Rear Cushion lite) rear suspension, both fully adjustable. The bike comes to a halt using Brembo 320mm dual discs up front and a 220mm disc at the rear, with cornering ABS. 

The  Suzuki GSX-R1000R goes up against the BMW S 1000 RR and the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade.
