Living with a 2005 GSX-R1000 K5
By Tim Dickson on 15/07/2005 12:24:27
The vert thorough Tim Dickson five the mighty GSX-R1000 a year-long review. What's it like to live with?
- the valve is part of the can's link pipe on the K5, so fit any other aftermarket can and you'll lose its benefits. £699, which ain't cheap but it's badged as an 'official' Suzuki part so see your local dealer. Baffle in and fuelling mapped there were small

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...

Excess all areas - June 2005 - 1000's test
By Tim Dickson on 01/06/2005 13:40:06
TWO head to France to test out the Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000 K5 and Yamaha YZF-R1.
There's a stretch of autoroute south of Clermont Ferrand that is the perfect tonic to the preceding several hundred miles of motorway monotony - if riding four of the world's finest litre bikes can ever be considered monotonous. As the A75 runs south alongside the meandering rive...

Road Test: Suzuki GSX-R750 History
By Warren Pole on 22/04/2008 19:34:55
Suzuki's GSX-R750 snapped up the TWO Bike Of The Year Award 2004 last month. To mark the occasion, we celebrate 20 years of three-quarter litre lunacy with every generation of GSX-R 750
The year was 1984. Frankie Goes to Hollywood were winding the establishment up by telling everyone to 'Relax', Margaret Thatcher was embroiled in a Mexican standoff with Arthur Scargill and his miners, and the humble halfpenny coin bade farewell to the back of sofas everywhere as...

Michelin Pilot Power tyre review
By Simon Bowen on 14/10/2006 12:50:27
Pilot Power, that is. New dual compound sport rubber released
from a 600 as I learnt the track. The K5 would tell me all I needed to know.Two laps in and the front was totally planted under heavy braking, despite the K5 squirming under protest. Mid-corner stability remained consistently good, though the rear

By GixerGirl on 24/10/2006 11:56:24
Why do bike manufacturers ignore bikes for women?

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?
clutch slip when hot. Owners report that grooves in the clutch basked can foul the plates, which may require a new clutch and basket (some have had this done under warranty, so ask). Later K5/6 models apparently benefit from lavish amounts of grease
