2000-2002 K1,K2

The only surprise about this l000cc version of the GSX-R750 was how long it took to appear. Introduced in 2001, the SUZUKI GSX-R1000 instantly went to the top of the performance charts, with the lightest, most powerful engine and chassis package available. Lighter and more powerful than Yamaha's Rl, the SUZUKI GSX-R1000 took sportsbike performance to a new level, with a maximum speed of 290km/h (180mph), a 119kW (160bhp) engine and dry weight less than some 600cc bikes. The SUZUKI GSX-R1000 's engine and chassis are both heavily based upon the 2000-model GSX-R750. The aluminium twin-spar frame is identical, except for 0.5mm(0,02in) thicker walls and an extra engine mount, while the swingarm only received minor internal construction modifications.motorcycle fairings
