The GSX-R series is what truly defines Suzuki. The first a 750cc rolled out over three decades ago. It was followed by an 1100 and then in the year 2001 came the 1000cc.
The engine capacities, the styling, and the technology might have changed over the years, but the focus for the brand has remained constant: Any motorcycle that carries the GSX-R nomenclature must be track-focused. It might not be savage or mad or be the epitome of technological breakthroughs, but a GSX-R must handle; it must brake; and it must feel completely at home on a racetrack.

Whats more, its now claimed to be the most powerful, hardest accelerating and cleanest running GSX-R ever built.
