Suzuki GSX-R description

This 2001 bike is in original condition. Only has 1500 miles on it. Rarely driven, garage kept with no damage to the bike. Original paint job. $5500 Or best offer! All offers considered! I love this bike but I need to sell for cash. I am the original owner. 

 Local pick up only.


This Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the original â€?Gixxer-thou’ – THE top dog sports bike of its day. Later Suzuki GSX-R1000s became smaller and more revvy as well as faster round circuits and arguably easier to handle. The original Suzuki GSX-R1000 K1 and K2 models are still supremely competent sports bikes and pretty decent all round machines too.

Engine

MCN ratingrating is 5
Owners' ratingrating is 5

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 has always had the strongest engine in the 1000cc sport class – that makes it king of the gods. The Suzuki GSX-R1000's huge power on tap just above tickover, a walloping midrange and a top end rush to make you laugh all the way to the magistrates court. Lower ratios means it outperforms the Suzuki GSX-R1000 K3-K6 models in top gear too. Pleasantly raw with enough gruff edge to excite as well.

Ride and Handling

MCN ratingrating is 4
Owners' ratingrating is 5

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is capable of leading the fast group at track days or winning races but useable and stable on the road. It’s not super fast steering but it’s still a nimble bike. Really hard use can show up weaknesses in the Suzuki GSX-R1000's front brakes. Try fresh fluid and pads but if they doesn’t work, a Brembo 1920 master cylinder should help.

Equipment

Owners' ratingrating is 4

Amazingly for a class leading (borderline class redefining) hardcore sports bike, the Suzuki GSX-R1000's pretty comfy too. A sensible riding position (ok, the pegs are a tad high for all-day riding) plus soft gel filled seats and a decent fairing mean you can tour on the Suzuki GSX-R1000. There’s some under seat storage and reasonable mirrors and headlights too.

This is close racing...

Tue, 14 Feb 2012

There is an old motorsport adage that rubbin' is racing, well here is a chance to experience that first-hand. The video was shot at an American club race from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway's Classic Course. The 'incident' was filmed on-board the Suzuki GSX-R600 of Benny Solis Jr.
