Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycle was for more than a decade, the most successful name in the 1000cc production of motorcycles and earned the title of The Top Performer. In 2015 Suzuki released the GSX-R1000 model, a legendary motorcycle that featured amazing throttle response, power, and acceleration at mid-range engine speeds.
With the 2015 model, Suzuki commemorated the return to MotoGP racing with the newly released motorcycle dressed in a Racing Blue livery. The instrument cluster featured a tachometer defined by a silver ring and an LCD speedometer. The footpegs were 14 mm vertical and horizontally adjustable, while the rear brake pedal moved along with the whole assembly of the right footpeg, and the shift lever was also adjustable along with the left footpeg assembly.
The model featured ABS as a standard option, which enhanced the braking performance and kept the wheels from locking on hard braking or changes in road conditions. It also featured a fully adjustable suspension, a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), and a race-proved slipper clutch.
In the power department, the 2015 Suzuki GSX-R1000, powered by a 999cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, developed a power output of 182 hp at 12,000 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque at 10,000 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a wet weight of 203 kg (448 lbs), the bike measured a top speed of 299 kph (186 mph).
