In 2005 the GSX-R1000 re-wrote the rule book for liter class supersport bikes. For 2006 the flagship GSX-RTM is poised to blow away the competition. Boasting works inspired technology and class leading performance, the biggest GSX-R combines incredible acceleration with razor sharp handling. The newest generation of GSX-R1000 features an engine that produces more horsepower and torque than ever, with quicker acceleration to match - both from a standing start and in roll-on blasts through the gears. It’s also been redesigned to shave precious pounds, making it a phenomenal 8.8 to 28.6 pounds lighter than its closest rivals. Its light weight along with completely refined suspension front and rear give the GSX-R1000 the edge needed to Own the Racetrack. To own your piece of the track in 2006, there’s only one choice: the GSX-R1000. FeaturesEngine Features 998.6cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine for increased power, torque and acceleration - includes several features to reduce friction and reciprocating mass Electronic fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve SystemTM (SDTV) - maintains optimum air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and high torque output - includes Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS) Compact double-barrel throttle body design with large 52mm bores for improved power, plus narrow pitch between outer and inner bores - allows use of narrow airbox, fuel tank and bodywork to provide more room for rider’s knees/elbows Twin injectors per throttle body for improved throttle response and acceleration - primary injector operates under all conditions while secondary injector operates under high rpm/heavy load conditions to further increase engine output Compact cylinder head features large 30mm intake and 24mm exhaust ports, plus smaller combustion chamber and higher 12.5 :1 compression ratio for high power output Titanium intake and exhaust valves with larger 4.5mm stems for increased strength Light weight forged pistons featuring chrome-nitride coated upper compression and oil control rings to reduce friction and improve sealing Reinforced crankshaft and chrome-moly connecting rods, plus recalibrated balancer shaft for dependable high rpm operation Back-torque limiting clutch allows smooth downshifts, plus a rack and pinion operating system provides more positive clutch feel Close-ratio transmission for strong acceleration, plus specially designed shift forks for smoother shifting Large trapezoidal-shaped radiator provides high cooling capacity, plus compact cooling fan design further improves efficiency - system includes high-capacity radiator-type oil cooler Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) - all titanium system designed and positioned to keep mass low and close to the centerline of the machine, plus decrease drag and increase cornering bank angle Suzuki Exhaust Tuning SystemTM (SET) regulates exhaust pressure waves to suit running conditions and maintain optimum engine torque ECM-controlled PAIR (Pulsed-AIR) system - operation based on throttle position and engine rpm to reduce HC, CO and NOx emissions New-design generator supplies power to a compact maintenance-free battery Chassis Features ---- SPECSEngine: 998.6cc, 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, TSCC Bore Stroke: 73.4 x 59.0mm Compression Ratio: 12.5:1 Fuel System: Fuel Injection Lubrication: Wet Sump Ignition: Digital/transistorized Transmission: 6-speed, constant mesh Final Drive: #530 chain Overall Length: 2030mm (80.0 in.)

One probable reason for this is the numerous brands that all promise to sell the best bike model. One of Suzuki’s leading brands is the 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000. This is not surprising since this bike boasts of having a powerful engine and torque. As such, the buyer can be assured that it will have an incredible acceleration or speed. Due to its lighter weight and easy to understand functions, the bike is easy to handle. Another change with the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the 4.8 gallon fuel capacity. As such, there is no more need to make frequent stops at gasoline stations. At an affordable price of 10,999 dollars, the buyer can buy it in the color combinations blue and white, silver and gray, as well as red and black. He can purchase the bike online or in Suzuki stores near his or her house. No matter where he buys the bike, he is still guaranteed to receive the one-year warranty with an unlimited mileage. No doubt about it, every penny he spends on this bike will be worth it. 31 comments: Suzuki GSXR 1000 02’ gsxr 1000, 196mph with just a slip-on yosh pipe...... 133mph wheelies at 12.5k God Bless The GSXR!!!
Hey Josh, can we kiss your ring? Wow, you are the best. Such an honor to hear from the best rider on the planet.
To the moron who thinks wheelies are an indication of riding skill: I have never done more than a power wheelie in first gear and I ride a ’99 R1. Not because I can’t afford better but because I feel I haven’t reached the limits of what this bike can do and see no reason to upgrade. Every two weeks, I replace my sliders on my suit and I ride with the fastest three people in Cyprus. If you want to see a clip of what real riding skill looks like, take a look at a video we made last week: http://atch?v=1pfy6P0-Rpw Stop being such a prick and trashing people who can’t wheelie. It’s not your place to discourage people when you show no evidence of your own skill. It’s likely there are many people who would own your on the street or track but prefer not to crack their frame or blow out their Ohlins fork seals doing wheelies. Maybe you should replace that square rear tire of yours and then go check out a riding school. Thanks for coming out, Josh. i have mine in a car and i can still pull wheelies in it the stock 02-03 has around 132hp and 05-06 has about 150... i heard the new 07 packs a punch at about 165-170 hp!!!
I’ve seen 172 in 5th gear and also 156 in 3rd - her engine was spinning at about 14k and was still climbing. As far as wheelies, I’ve been able to stand the bike up at 90 mph in second gear only using the throttle and no clutch.
