SUZUKIGSX-R1000 2005 - 2006

　　In 2006, Suzuki released the GSX-R1000, a supersport motorcycle for which the manufacturer changed almost every component to compete with other Japanese-manufactured motorcycles available on the market at the time, especially the ZX-10R Kawasaki motorcycle.

　　The 2006 Suzuki GSX-R1000 came in a much more compact package, with a shorter length, height, and narrower than the previous model and with a lower seating position, closer reach to the handlebars, and the footpegs closer to each other.

　　The newly designed frame was lighter and shorter than the 2004 model, with improved vertical, horizontal, and torsional rigidity for good response and on hard cornering, and also featured a lighter swingarm.

　　The improved engine moved the red line 1,000 revs higher with larger intake and exhaust ports and larger titanium intake and exhaust valves. The exhaust muffler made of titanium was designed to be more aerodynamic and provide an increased cornering clearance.

　　Jumping to the numbers, the R1000 model took its thrust from the 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which featured an increased displacement compared with the previous model and generated 178 hp at 11,000 and 118 Nm (87 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 8,500 rpm. Equipped with a six-speed transmission and thanks to a dry weight of 166 kg (366 lbs), the GSX-R1000 went flying to a top speed of 293 kph (182 mph).
