Suzuki actually went to town when it came to redesigning the GSX-R A brand new engine was more compact than before and featured a host of technical updates including higher compression, a stacked gearbox, bigger valves with dual springs, a bigger bore and shorter stroke and even variable height intake trumpets.
This was a thoroughly new engine and it sat in a brand new chassis. Ok, the controversial twin pipes remained, but the brakes were now monobloc, the swingarm 32mm longer, wheelbase reduced, chassis redesigned and overall weight reduced by 7kg.
The GSX-R remained a cracking road package, but it was lacking any standout features. Then, when the financial crisis hit, the bottom fell out of the sportsbike market and those who did still want the best track bike opted for the BMW. Short on cash and facing an uncertain market, Suzuki like the rest of the Japanese manufacturers abandoned the traditional two-year update cycle of their sportsbikes and instead attempted to weather the storm.
This move allowed the European manufacturers to get the jump on them and KTM, BMW, Aprilia and Ducati all reaped the benefits of this new lack of competition while the world waited for the Japanese to respond…. The initial images made it clear the GSX-R had at long last dumped the twin exhaust pipes and added some cool Brembo calipers, but that was all that leapt out. Was Suzuki keeping something back? Yes and no…. Again, bad timing hampered Suzuki.
This was a good old fashioned superbike made with engineering rather than computer assists at its heart and sadly for Suzuki, the market was now obsessed with 1s and 0s. Smiles widened even further when they heard of the tweaked chassis, upgraded forks, new brakes and fresh styling. But those wanting the best sportsbike money could buy looked elsewhere. If only riders had looked a little closer…. Ironically, in its final year of production, riders eventually warmed towards this incarnation of GSX-R.
A rock bottom price tag certainly helped catch their attention, but the fact this is an absolutely stunning road bike and incredibly easy to live with was its main selling point. And how good a sorted GSX-R actually is. It will be missed, but if the new model returns the GSX-R to the top of the sportsbike tree this blow will be softened…. Launch control, ABS, traction control and a quickshifter are all in the package, so it is certainly the most technologically advanced GSX-R to date, but Suzuki have stopped short when it comes to electronics and there is no gyroscope, which will harm it a bit.
With the amount of love the bike was receiving at the NEC show the signs are good, but will love translate into sales success? Only if the GSX-R lives up to expectations….

The Suzuki GSX-R is a solid, well-built sportbike intended to last approximately , miles under normal conditions and may last longer depending on the rider, maintenance and other factors.
Keep in mind, a long life with your GSX-R is best attained through proper maintenance and regular service. The Suzuki GSX-R is a well-engineered bike from a top manufacturer of sportbikes and you do find some on the road with high mileage on the odometer, but that is the exception rather than the rule.
Many GSX-R owners report that they fully expect that their bike could last up to , miles if they:. Be mindful as well that the GSX-R was not designed for comfort and even with adjustable pegs, riding it can be quite uncomfortable, especially when spending longer than an hour or two in the cockpit.
Riders new to this style of motorcycle and seating position will feel it in their wrists, back and neck — so much so that they may feel reluctant to climb back on after the first rest stop. It is not a bike intended for cross-country touring and even day rides will need to be broken up with frequent breaks. The GSX-R engine is a four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, valves compact design that will give the best performance at high revs, but is not built for high-mileage.
The Suzuki GSX-R is a competition-bred, high-rev, sportbike purpose-built for racing on the street and track, where it will deliver the best performance.
According to some owner reports, you can expect rust to appear on specific surfaces, such as brake discs, or pegs.
