Used Test: Suzuki GSX-R1000
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/08/2008 22:31:27
Upon its launch in 2001, the Suzuki swept all before it. Six years later it is still arguably the best of the litre sports bike brood, but how does it handle in the fiercely fought second-hand sector?
It's funny how bulbous the original 2001 GSX-R1000 now looks next to the lithe and silky-smooth 2006 GSX-R, R1 and Blade. But half a decade or more ago this was the latest 'big thing', a machine which made the likes of the FireBlade and R1 also-rans. Its 988cc motor produced more...

Sports Tourer test: Tiger 1050, VFR800, GSX-R1000 K7 and Fazer FZ1
By Jon Urry on 04/03/2010 11:18:20
Just what is a sports-tourer these days? Used to be a middle-for-diddle model with zero sex appeal, but these days it could be anything from a superbike with luggage to a purpose-built mile-muncher...

By John Cantlie, Warren Pole, Niall Mackenzie, Gus Scott on 21/04/2008 21:16:18
Another year, another choice selection of 1,000cc sportsbikes. But this year is a particularly good vintage as Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda try to close the gap on Suzuki's all conquering GSX-R1000 of 2001.
-missiles.Even the Kawasaki ZX-9R has been properly tweaked for 2002. Using the lessons learnt from the launch last issue, Gus and myself spent 30 minutes a couple of days before the test slamming the front end of the 9R and jacking the back-end up (see handling caption

Living with the first breed of GSX-R1000 is a lot easier than you think

Road Test: Suzuki GSX-R1000K5
By Niall Mackenzie on 24/04/2008 21:05:24
Probably lighter, certainly faster, but is it any better? Definitely. Niall Mackenzie rides the new GSX-R1000 at Eastern Creek.
There is one man who is going to be very happy with the changes to the GSX-R1000: John Reynolds. But while the current British Superbike Champion will undoubtedly be excited about the Suzuki's new look, extra horsepower and improved chassis, the one thing that will really bring a...

What is a sports tourer - Triumph Tiger, FZ1 Fazer, VFR800 and GSX-R1000 road test
By Jon Urry on 21/05/2010 11:06:16
Just what is a sports-tourer these days? Used to be a middle-for-diddle model with zero sex appeal, but these days it could be anything from a superbike with luggage to a purpose-built mile-muncher
There was a time when motorcycles were grouped together in neat little classes. Have you seen your bike on a racetrack? Yes, so then it’s a Sportsbike. If it’s got a monster engine as well then that makes it a Superbike. Does it have flat bars and no fairing? Yep, well that makes...
