In 2007, Suzuki launched the GSX-R1000, a supersport motorcycle, which introduced a new frame and a new engine aimed at domination on both track and street.
The bike featured the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (ADMS), adopted for the first time, which allowed the riders to select the more appropriate riding mode based on the road conditions. Another feature adopted by the GSX-R100, which enhanced rider enjoyment, was the three-way adjustable footpegs.
In the power department, the engine featured a bunch of changes, such as twin multi-hole injectors, iridium spark plugs, intake ports enlarged by 10 percent, exhaust ports enlarged by 20 percent, bigger ventilation holes between the cylinders, and twin mufflers. The changes brought upon the engine generated a red line increase from 11,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm.
The 999cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine featured by the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 developed a power output of 185 hp, seven hp more than the 2006 model, and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm. The power, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 172 kg (379 lbs), pushed the bike to a top speed of 290 kph (180 mph).
The engine was more compact and came with an adjustable torque limiter for the slipper clutch, while the brakes had also been revised for compliant performance. A new electronic steering damper took care of the sharp handling, while the new suspensions arrived with better adjustability.
