GSX-R1000 – In 1985, Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750, and then created another milestone in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the lithe chassis of the GSX-R750 and a 988cc inline four-cylinder engine design that Suzuki is renowned for, Superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

This dedication to performance at the highest level is seen in every aspect of Suzuki sportbike development and the lessons learned in winning the 2020 MotoGP Championship and the impressive victories in the MotoAmerica Championship can be felt in every GSX-R in the series.

A proud member of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2022 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine provides class-leading power delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2022’s compact, light, and strong chassis deliver nimble handling with excellent suspension feel and braking control, ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control* and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork slices through the wind.

Equipped with Showa’s Big-piston Fork plus Brembo T-drive rotors and Monobloc brake calipers the GSX-R1000 help deliver the sort of performance and confidence your favorite canyon road ride or local track day demand. A new Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Matte Mechanical Gray paint scheme with contrasting black graphics joins the popular monochromatic Metallic Matte Black No. 2 body treatment delivering an aggressive look seen on a spy plane.

GSX-R1000R – At the pinnacle of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2022 GSX-R1000R’s high performing engine combines championship-winning engineering with agile potency. Cutting edge traction control*, launch control, and a bi-directional quick shifter help deliver an unparalleled sport riding experience.

The GSX-R1000R offers high quality Showa BFF and BFRC-Lite suspension components delivering suspension feel that will help a rider rule any track day or mountain pass. Up front, stainless steel brake lines, radially mounted Brembo Monobloc brake calipers grasp a pair of 320mm Brembo T-drive floating brake rotors for incredibly strong stopping power with outstanding braking response and lever feel.

For 2022, the GSX-R1000R is offered with a historic Metallic Triton Blue and Metallic Mystic Silver paint scheme similar to the Team Suzuki ECSTAR MotoGP world championship livery, a stunning Metallic Matte Black and Glass Matte Mechanical Gray, or a stealthy Metallic Matte Black paint scheme.

The GSX-R1000R continues its reign as the best liter-class supersport with an unmatched combination of reliability, durability, usability, and overall performance with excellent racing potential in a striking package that respects the GSX-R legacy.

Dominance that continues to this day in multiple race series around the world. For a rider considering a mid-size supersport bike at home on the track or the street, there’s only one choice; the Suzuki GSX-R600.

*The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Neither can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.

**Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

***Suzuki KingQuad ATVs may be used only by those aged 16 and older. Suzuki highly recommends that all ATV riders take a training course.  For safety and training course information, see your dealer or call the SVIA at 1-800-852-5344. ATVs can be hazardous to operate. For your safety, read your owner’s manual thoroughly.
