The original GSX-R1000 defined total performance and has never been surpassed.
Now the nightmare begins again for would-be rivals, with the 2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000 - reborn for absolute dominance. Evolution favours the strongest, and the new model is more powerful, with more torque, less weight and better aerodynamics.
Now includes dealer fit Yoshimura Tri-oval End Can, and a limited run of 200 come in the ultra-rare Phantom grey colour scheme.
