Since Suzuki first stuffed a 988cc inline-four engine into the compact GSX-R750 chassis in 2001, the GSX-R1000 has held its pace as a heavy hitter in the superbike category. The last major update to the GSX-R came in 2017 with a ground-up redesign, but development has been held nearly stagnant since. Regardless, the Gixxer remains a favorite for its well-balanced, easy-to-ride character and usable performance.
The 2022 GSX-R1000 is available in a new Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Matte Mechanical Gray or the monochromatic Metallic Matte Black No. 2 scheme that features complementary black graphics and wheels.
Advanced electronics include the Suzuki Bi-Directional Quick Shift System as standard equipment, an Inertia Measurement Unit, S-DMS adjustable engine output, and Traction Control* to increase track and street performance.
Advanced Showa suspension combines with ABS-equipped Brembo T-drive front brake rotors and four-piston calipers for extraordinary handling and stopping performance.
