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.   2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000 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 ----  2006 Suzuki GSXR 1000 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 GSXR LOVER (6682) - Posted on 03.19.2008 Hi Guys, I currently own a K6 1000. I have tinted the indicators, eliminator, double bubble, race levers, Michelin CT2 Tyres, smaller front cog, de-restricted, irridium plugs, power commander. and its um.....goes. Had it to 277kms before the work. Yet to get the suspension perfect. The only problem I have had is I got to the bottom of some twistes and found I had no front brakes. I upgraded the pads to dual carbon after and now the disks are warpped. My friend wrote off his when he got to a corner and found he had no front breaks. I love the bike but I want other people to be aware of what their breaks are doing. I currently am looking for options to upgrade the front breaks. Safe riding all. banksy (6682) - Posted on 02.23.2008 gday,dave from oz.2 weeks ago i bought a gsxr 1000cc/2001model.still havnt been out of 3rd gear yet,the power of this beast is awsome,i am not an xperienced rider by any means.i learned on a cbr600f/98 and thought that was quick,but the gixxer makes it look and feel like a toy,no disrespect to the cbr,but there is just no comparison whatsoever.will just have to bide my time and treat this bike with the utmost of respect.gixxer 1000cc/2001 is simply awsome........
praise the lord / god bless susuki people (6682) - Posted on 02.21.2008 so happy with my 06 /1000 used to race/riding since 69 one of the best bike around since the 750 yamaha 2strokes . my 06 stock needs nothing just double bouble screen and tank proctector
speed freak (6682) - Posted on 02.15.2008 Can anyone tell me what is the stock rwhp on the 06 gixxer 1000? trying to settle a argument. Yes i do own one, but that does not seem to convice this a-hole.
I have owned 6 Gixxr’s to date. Three 750’s and three 1000’s. I am currently riding an 06 1000. The power is great and the handleing is good. I sometimes miss the 750 (it was a little easier to come out of corners) I still get on my buddy’s 07 750, when I want to thrash corners hard. Like Josh, (glad to see someone else dragging knee, I change my sliders on a regular basis along with tires.) I like softer tires for better grip (I’m a fan of the power pilots). I’m on my third set of tires in 3,500 miles. For those of you that can’t get the front end up, I suggest twisting your wrist a little more. The bike has great power and I love third gear. As for wheelies......WOW....I can ride one from first gear to fifth up to about 150 MPH. I like to clutch wheelies and can do it up to fourth gear. As for top speed....My speedo flashes @ 186 MPH, but the bike still pulls. I’m not much of a top speed person, I enjoy the twistys way too much. The one thing I don’t like about the bike is the front brakes. DAMN they do . I’m in the process of putting steal braided brake lines, new pads and wave rotors on, hopefully I’ll be happy. I’ve made some engine upgrades (and exhaust). Right now, the bike dynos @ 168 RWHP. It is by all means powerful enough. To the guys that ride straight, hit the twistys, then you will enjoy the bike more. If anyone else has had braking issues let me know. Maybe I’m just a little to hard on them. To those of you that can’t ride on a track, go slay a dragon, thats about the best closest thing.
you must be on crack or some other drug. to believe this bike weighs only 166lbs(curb weight).
the manufacture website states the weight as 379lbs(dry weight)i do agree the bike is badass machine. but, i can probally walk all over at least 30-40% of the people who own a 1000. on my 99 yzf-r6.
 by the way I own a 2006 gsxr 1000 and in denver at bandimere speed way I clocked 9.8 @ 143.6 mph in the quarter mile with a .600 reaction time and the horse power is off by a little my bike dynoed at the wheel ( at 5722 ft above sea level ) 157 hp and the top speed of my bike after I just changed out the sprockets is 187 mph!! That is 16\45 #520 x ring conversion and fstrthnu so what you can ride a wheelie @ 133 good for you, Can you slam your bike into a canyon turn at 95 or better. I can ride a wheelie just fine but that is not what will get you away from that asshole that changes lanes while talking on his f%$#ing cell phone right in front of you leaving you no choice and no where to go. I ride with guys that can ride wheelies too and it looks cool mad props for having the balls to do it but dont tell somebody they dont know how to ride cause they dont ride wheelies everyone rides different by the way the GSXR 1000 is one of the sickest bikes i have owned that incluedes my 2006 haybusa that just sits in my garadge cause it handels like a and has no where near the throttle responce of my 1000, and my haybusa has about 8000 in aftermarket proformance parts ( cams, gears, powercommander, full exhaust, you name it!!) and my 1000 eats it for lunch until 175 and then my haybusa starts to catch up and pull away!!! That guy asking about the hp problem with his 1000 you need to take that in and get it looked at sounds like a dead cylender or horrible injector timing either way that bike should kick you in the in first all the way till sixth and set your hair on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trust me it dose it to me and that is hard to say ! Lakunai (1) - Posted on 01.10.2007 I just picked up an 04 Gixxer 1000 - I have gotten nowhere near top speed.... I have taken it up to 145 on a clear highway late at night and felt that I was just tapping into the juice. Bike is phenomenal - blows away the CBR, ZX-10,11, FJR whatever.... and handles like a wet dream on rails. Wheelies are out - no thanks - pass - dumb ass Take a look at for gsxr crashes and u will hold off on wheelies too.... Love my bike baby!
