In 1985 Suzuki released the first generation of GSX-R with GSX-R750. The introduction of the GSX-R750 changed the world of sportsbikes forever, as the first mass produced race replica, it was a race bike first and a street bike second. Joining the GSX-R750 was the GSX-R600 and GSX-R1000, which equally dominated racetracks and sales in Australia and internationally. Now, Suzuki has recently produced its one millionth GSX-R motorcycle and is celebrating this special milestone with a commemorative edition of its flagship sportsbike, the 2013 GSX-R1000. Featuring class-mastering performance, cutting-edge technology, design and engineering, this bike is the ultimate fusion of performance and design and delivers excellent mid-range power and acceleration. It’s only 1,985 units will be produced worldwide and distributed worldwide. 

Powered by engine type 999 cc, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC. The engine used durable forged pistons are designed with the Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology and optimized camshaft profiles was developed using proven MotoGP racing technology. Besides that also equip with efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team racebikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag, pentagonal shaped ventilation holes in the side of each cylinder bore reduce pumping losses, further improving throttle response, race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.

The 2013 GSX-R1000 also arrive with some feature such as Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM). It’s helps reduce friction, improve heat transfer, increase durability and provide better ring seal. Suzuki Ram Air-Direct (SRAD) air intakes are positioned close to the centerline of the fairing to provide optimum intake efficiency. The intake-duct openings feature a louvered design that heightens intake efficiency, while also contributing to weight reduction. Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system uses two butterfly valves (primary and secondary) in each throttle body barrel. Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps, adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference.

For comfortable riding, The 2013 GSX-R1000 used lightweight and compact twin-spar frame is made of five cast sections. It is mated with an arched swingarm made of three castings and one-piece die-cast rear subframe. The bike also used fully adjustable 43mm Showa Big Piston Front forks (BPF) with an endurance-race-proven design deliver superb feedback and responsive, stable operation and rear shock absorber features adjustable rebound damping, spring preload, and both high-speed and low-speed compression damping allowing adjustability for a wide range of conditions.

For braking, front disc brakes are equipped with the top-of-the–line radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers and rear disc brake works with a single piston Nissin caliper mounted above the swingarm. The calipers compact design contributes to a reduction of unsprung weight. The 2013 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Commemorative Edition released in US MSRP Price: $13,999 USD.
