Commemorating the marque’s 2015 return to MotoGP racing, the new GSX-R1000 ABS is dressed in Suzuki Racing Blue to express Suzuki’s spirit and passion for racing. The company says its new race-bred machine delivers a wide range of throttle response, power, and acceleration along with great fuel economy.

2015 GSX-R1000 ABS Features:

       ENGINE

• 999cc four-cylinder powerplant, with Bore x Stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm brings enhanced throttle response across the entire rpm range for increased race track performance potential.
• Lightweight, durable forged pistons are designed with the Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology and optimized camshaft profiles developed with MotoGP racing technology.
• Optimally shaped combustion chambers and a compression ratio of 12.9:1 promote low-range and mid-range performance and help realize a broad torque curve.
• The 4-2-1 exhaust system, carries a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve maximizing torque and improving throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid rpm range.
• Large, efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team race bikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag.
• Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase reduce friction and improve heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
• An Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has optimized settings to suit the single muffler, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.
• Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of three performance settings to suit riding conditions and personal tastes. The switch is located on the left handlebar control module.

 

TRANSMISSION

• Back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.

 

CHASSIS

• Lightweight, fully adjustable 43mm Showa Big Piston Front forks (BPF) with an endurance-race-proven design deliver superb feedback and responsive, stable operation, and are lightweight.
• Rear shock absorber features adjustable rebound damping, spring preload, and both high-speed and low-speed compression damping allowing adjustability for a wide range of conditions.
• Electronically controlled steering damper contributes to handling stability and a more alert and agile feel by increasing the damping force at higher speeds and reducing it at lower speeds.
• Standard equipment Antilock Brake System (ABS) enhances brake performance. The system monitors wheel speeds to match stopping power to available traction helping prevent wheels from locking up due to hard braking or to changes in road conditions.
• The front disc brakes are equipped with the top-of-the–line radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers along with a single-piston caliper rear brake.
• The front and rear tires tread patterns and lighter weight contribute to lower unsprung weight and sharper handling.

 

OTHER FEATURES

• Instruments include a silver-ringed analog tachometer with LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure warning indicator, gear position indicator, lap timer/stopwatch, S-DMS setting indicator and bar-graph indicating the instrument lighting level, or brightness.
• 3-way adjustable footpegs, adjustable shift lever and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position.
