Three different engine power settings are available at the flick of a switch, ensuring that the GSX-R1000 has the right amount of power for the conditions of the road.

Twin pipes mean greater balance and lower centre of gravity, whilst adjustable pegs create a better riding position. A new chassis and a new engine, which produces race winning performance.

The GSX-R’s advanced fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 16-valve four-cylinder engine provides class leading power.

To help the chassis control the massive amount of power on tap, the GSX-R1000 features an integral steering damper.
