Living with a 2001 Suzuki GSX-R1000 K1
By Alex Hearn on 26/05/2002 14:42:12
Alex Hearn used to edit TWO magazine and also had a Porsche Boxster with the number plate AL3X HN. Bonza!
August 2001So. Suzuki's demonic 145bhp/180mph GSX-R1000 has scythed its way into my somewhat moribund motorcycling life, despite my heartfelt belief that - these days - less is more when it comes to motorcycles.That's less power, speed and potential

Colin McRae at Play
By Visordown on 28/11/2002 16:02:17
What do you do for kicks when your name's Colin McRae and your job is driving a 300bhp rally car over a variety of non-stick surfaces at 130mph? Simple, buy a bike. And not just any bike, a £35,500 British Superbike replica Suzuki GSX-R1000...
to the job of getting the McRae adrenal glands pumping. Hence this machine. It's an exact copy of John Crawford's ETI Suzuki GSX-R1000 machine which he's been racing in British Superbikes this season."It all snowballed a bit, to be honest," admits McRae, 1995

The X-Craft versus the V-fours
By Gordon Ritchie on 09/01/2008 13:32:33
Suzuki's GSX-R1000 is a super-competitive racing package but the same can't be said of the MotoGP GSV-R. Gordon Ritchie asks why
results have proved, in most places on the planet the GSX-R influence just gets stronger and stronger, and the GSX-R1000 has been a winner pretty much since day one, in Britain (Reynolds, 2004), in America (multiple Mladin), in Japan (loads of titles

A bike so different it's almost identical to everything else

Bike Icon: Suzuki GSX-R1100
By Stuart Barker on 08/10/2010 13:11:59
Like a nightclub bouncer ripped to the tits on bodybuilding steroids, the big Suzuki was not to be messed with. Unless you were rock hard...
record for the most number of people on a bike while pulling a wheelie when he hoisted the Gixxer up with himself and 13 other people in 2000.For Rothwell, the GSX-R1100 is in many ways the perfect stunt bike even though he now uses a GSX-R1000. "The 1100

By Ben Cope on 21/06/2011 09:28:00
...or is it all in your wrist?
200 times a second.Yamaha are the second Japanese manufacturer to add TC to their top of the range superbike. It's thought that Suzuki's next GSX-R1000 will feature traction control but Honda appear to be keeping their cards close to their chest as far

Metzeler Sportec M3 tyre review
By Visordown on 14/10/2006 11:38:26
The truth is we're spoiled rotten with decent tyres these days, and the latest in a line of sporty road rubber that's better than we deserve is Metzeler's just released Sportec M3.
... You get the idea.On the roads of Sicily - some of the roughest in western Europe - the M3s were spot-on. Our route was mainly fast straights, sweeping corners and the odd four-foot deep pothole, and under those conditions the GSX-R1000 I

The Power of Balance
By Ben Miller on 01/12/2010 12:27:54
MotoGP racers talk about it, road bike engineers strive for it and, if your bike’s got it, riding really, really quickly is easy. But what the hell is balance?
1000 has so much power most riders struggle to deploy it on a racetrack, let alone on the public road. And yet the GSX-R1000 is compromised a little by its additional power, being a shade heavier, a little slower to change direction thanks to its wider
