In 2005, Suzuki released the GSX-R1000, a redesigned supersport motorcycle with a new chassis and a slightly more powerful engine.

The newly designed 999cc powerplant featured a wider bore, a raised compression ratio, and a six percent torque increase. The throttle body was enlarged, and combined with other enhancements such as the twin injectors, resulted in 16 hp more than the 2004 model.

To handle the increased power generated by the engine, the cooling performance of the large, curved radiator was improved.

The 2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000, powered by the 999cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 178 hp at 11,000 rpm and 118 Nm (87 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,000 rpm, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 166 kg (366 lbs), resulted in a top speed of 293 kph (182 mph).

The bike came with a more compact chassis for a quicker and more stable cornering performance, a 40 mm shorter distance from the seat to the handlebars, and 17 mm narrower footpegs compared to the previous model. The aluminum featured by the model was shorter and provided sharper steering, with the wheelbase retained almost the same.

The GSX-R1000 came with radial brake calipers with racing-like performance and a new catalytic silencer made of titanium which provided reduced turbulence.
