Suzuki showcased the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Concept at EICMA 2015
The 6th-generation Suzuki GSX-R1000 is redefining Sportbikes. It is the most powerful, hardest accelerating, cleanest-running GSX-R ever built. It is also the lightest, the most compact, the most aerodynamic and the best-handling GSX-R1000, with smoother throttle response and better combustion efficiency. With a supremely effective electronic engine management system that doesn’t require a degree in engineering to understand–and doesn’t need constant adjustment by a squad of computer technicians to work. Above all, it is a GSX-R. By definition, it is built to run right and be reliable, and designed to help make everybody a better rider. By plan, it is engineered using experience gained during 30 Years of Domination in production-based Superbike, Superstock and Endurance races worldwide, combined with new proprietary technology developed in the MotoGP World Championship. The heart of a racebike beats in every GSX-R1000, delivering an invitation: Own The Racetrack.
The new GSX-R1000 is new from ground up. But the proud, traditional, core engineering philosophy of producing the best possible performance has been inherited by the latest GSX-R1000. Focusing On Great Sportbike Fundamentals: Run. Turn. Stop. Throughout 30 years of GSX-R development, Suzuki engineers have focused on the fundamentals that make a great sportbike.The newest GSX-R1000 is built using the latest state-of-the-art technology to embody those fundamentals into the powerful combination of Acceleration, Cornering and Braking. For three decades, the Suzuki GSX-R line has earned its reputation for durability, reliability and consistently excellent performance in endurance racing, overcoming the toughest conditions over incredible durations. The latest GSX-R1000 is engineered to continue that legacy of outstanding results over the long haul. The first GSX-R was introduced as being Born On The Circuit, and ready to Return To The Circuit. Inspired by factory racebikes, the original GSX-R immediately proved itself racetrack capable. The new GSX-R1000 continues that tradition, whether set up in relatively stock form for track-day fun or modified for full-on races.
Most of the major parts and components were refined and improved to ensure world-beating performance. It embodies the personal and professional ambition of Suzuki engineers, who are determined to restore the GSX-R1000 to its proper title of The King of Sportbikes.

Broad Power System – MotoGP technology The GSX-R line has always been known for making broad power across the rev range, combining low-end and mid-range torque with an exciting top-end rush. The new GSX-R1000 engine is designed to produce the most top-end power without sacrificing low-end and mid-range power and torque. To achieve the engine design target of “Increasing top-end power without losing low-to-mid range output”, MotoGP derived technologies are built into the new GSX-R power plant, using the “Broad Power System”. The combination of Suzuki Racing VVT (SR-VVT), Suzuki Racing Finger follower valve train, Suzuki Exhaust Tuning-Alpha (SET-A) and Suzuki Top Feed Injector (S-TFI) systems form the Broad Power System designed to increase high-rpm performance and top speed without detracting from lower-rpm and mid-range performance. The result is strong, linear power and enhanced acceleration throughout the rpm range.
