2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Preview/Review

Suzuki GSX-R1000s. With 37 championships in the past 10 years, the pedigree and presentation potential of the venerable Gixxer speaks for itself. Making up at least 45% of the AMA Superbike field since 2009, the GSX-R has a standing for winning. Of course, just when you think it can’t get any improved, it forever does. Introducing the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Using finite-element-method (FEM) and fatigue-analysis techniques on loan directly from MotoGP, the new GSX-R’s pistons are 11% lighter and yield a somewhat higher compression ratio of 12.9:1 (from 12.8:1).To help the engine breathe better and reduce pump wounded, pentagonal crankcase vents replace the box-shaped vents seen on the previous model.
