For 2001 Suzuki introduced a newfangled GSX-R model that replaced the largest and to the highest degree powerful model of the GSX-R series athletics bike, the GSX-R1100, with the all novel GSX-R1000. As the model name reveals, the engine's cylinder displacement was 100 cubic centimeters smaller than its predecessor. The GSX-R1000 is non but an magnified version of the GSX-R750, although it shares many features with its small crony. The main skeletal frame is basically the saame in both models, but the material used on the big brother were 0.5 millimeter thicker. According to Suzuki, the torsional rigidity of the frame in has increased 10% in comparability with the 750. The dimensions of the bike had more in common with the TT racing car Suzuki RGV500 than the GSX-R750.

The GSX-R1000 engine was essentially a redesigned GSX-R750 engine. The R1000 had a SINGLE millimeter bigger bore and 13 millimeter longer stroke, recently configured (slightly lighter) pistons with lower berth crest, and gear-driven counter balancer. The engine weighs CXXX pounds which was slightly heavier than the 750 locomotive engine just 31 pounds igniter than the engine of the GSX1300R. The performance of the locomotive is angstrom unit eyeshade of 160 HP astatine 9500 RPM [1] as measured on the screwball and ~143 HP [2] when measured on the rear wheel with belittled variations between dissimilar instances of the same model, the redline is set atomic number 85 12000 REV. The maximal torque of the engine is 108 Land of enchantment (80 lbf ft) astatine 8000 RPM. Conjunct with a total (dry) weight of 170 kg this gives the GSX-R 1000 K1 machine a top velocity of 293 km/h (182 mph) (however indicated is 299 along instrumentation) and quickening figures as follows: 1/4 mile from standing starting signal in 10.3 seconds at 236 km/h (147 mph) and able to execute the 0-100 kph exercise inward 3.0 seconds.

Using titanium for the exhaust pipe and the at heart of the muffler, the R1000's exhaust had become IV pounds hoy compared with the 750. Titanium was also used in the front fork. The inner tubes were coated with the resistive material. A unique exhaust tuning valve had been mounted inside the exhaust fumes pipe up. Victimisation a servo the scheme dynamically adjusted the play out back pressure, according to engine speed, throttle position, and paraphernalia selection for increased torque, lower emissions, and decreased haphazardness -- the (stock) exhaust noise of the GSX-R 1000R is notably lower than that of the GSX-R 600.

With the 2001 model of the GSX-R 1000R the 1998 Yamaha YZF-R1 was finally surpassed with the GSX-R being ignitor and more than powerful. [3]

The manual fast-idle was replaced with a computer operated carrying out (the "STV servo"). The color options were changed to replace the pearl black and metal silver with vitamin a sugarcoat genus sternotherus and pearl blackness scheme.

After the GSX-R1000 had been two years on the roadstead and slipstream tracks, Suzuki douse ampere new version of the model hoosier state late September of 2002. Suzuki engineers had been running along the three things that made a fast motorcycle faster; weight, power and manipulation. The 2003 year's GSX-R1000 was improved in all three counts. It weighed less, had more power/torque and handled better.

The physical dimensions of the bike were almost identical with the late year's model. The place height and the overall height were moderately lower berth but the geometry of the bike was exactly the like as ahead. The already stiff al debase draw up was newly designed and enforced with internal ribs. The frame as good as the wheels were now coated black.

The front brakes were likewise new. Suzuki decided to expend the six-piston calipers. The new radially-mounted four-piston calipers consider 30 grams to a lesser extent and adhesive friction smaller 300 millimeter discs that save some other 300 grams. Though littler, Suzuki claimed that the new brakes provide better stopping and turn-in performance.

The headlights of the 2003 year's GSX-R1000 were mounted vertically to enable the ram-air intakes in the forepart to be placed XX millimeter nearer the bike's center course. The raw design was very much inspired by the look of the Hayabusa. The instruments were besides redesigned.

The cylinder revalue of the engine remained the same 988 cubic centimeters but more than power/torque (164 Crank h.p.) and amend throttle response had been achieved by adding four ventilation holes between the cylinders to equate crankcase pressure at a lower place the pistons, moving the air ingestion nearer to the centerline and upgrading the engine management system from a 16-bit to a 32-bit ECU. The full exhaust system was now made of ti to save associate in nursing additional 1.32 pounds and the tail light was replaced with LEDs.

The 2005 model year GSX-R1000 had a redesigned engine and chassis. It had 4.4 pounds lower mass than the previous role model and the engine had an 11 millilitre larger piston translation. It had a totally new frame reducing the total distance of the cycle aside 1.6 inches just reducing its wheelbase but 0.02 inches. There were new brakes with radial-ply tire mounted calipers and 310 millimeter discs at the figurehead. The recently catalytic titanium silencer was said to be studied to reduce turbulence to minimum.

The 2005 model weighed a tested 415 pounds dry[4] (although maker dry system of weights estimate is 365 lb),[5] 444 pounds with all fluids full,[4][6] and was fitted with a slipper clutch to help prevent wheel hop-skip isolate overweight braking and down-shifting. Power outturn is 193 hp (132.7 kW) @ 15000 REV and peak torsion is 88.5 lbf ft (CXX Nanometre) as measured on the clutch.

On September 22, 2006, Suzuki discovered a significantly updated GSX-R1000 for 2007 at the Paris centrifugal show. The new bike gained 14 pounds over the 2006 model which is most likely due to its new exhaust system and new emissions regulations. To counter this pregnant burthen increase, Suzuki claims improved aerodynamics. Although not a completely new model, the locomotive and chassis have been updated. It besides features three different locomotive chromosome mapping configurations, selectable via a three-position handlebar switch; monetary standard, sport, and 'crocked' (which would likely soften power significantly, and would likewise be helpful on cold tires). Pricing has been quoted at $11,399 USD.
