The Suzuki GSX History
For 2001, Suzuki introduced a new GSX-R model that replaced the largest and most powerful model of the GSX-R series sport bike, the GSX-R1100, with the all new GSX-R1000. As the model name revealed. The engine's cylinder displacement was roughly 1,000 cc (61 cu in). The GSX-R1000 was not just an enlarged version of the GSX-R750, although it shared many features, with its little brother. The main frame is the same in both models, but the material used on the big brother was .5 mm (0.020 in) thicker. Suzuki claimed the torsional rigidity of the frame had increased 10% in comparison with the GSX-R750.
Suzuki revealed a significantly updated GSX-R1000 for 2007 at the Paris motor show. The new bike gained 14 lb (6.4 kg) over the 2006 model. Which was due to its new exhaust system and new emissions regulations. Suzuki claimed improved aerodynamics along with a faster revving engine and larger throttle body. Although not a completely new model, the engine and chassis have been updated. It also featured three different engine mapping configurations, selectable via two buttons located on the right handlebar. One up, and one down arrow to cycle between Mode A, Mode B and Mode C. It also received a hydraulic clutch.
The 2007 model carried over to 2008 without any significant improvements.
