Suzuki GSX-R1000 2009 Review
Suzuki GSX R1000 -- Does it really own the Race track?
The new Suzuki GSX R1000 looks wise doesn’t overwhelm you like the Yamahas. It doesn’t look bad either, but maybe Suzuki has to redesign the ugly styled exhaust and sporty colors doesn’t impress too much.
New Suzuki GSX-R1000 that rolled out in 2009 comes with low kerb weight, extra electronics and more power (the electronics is designed to harvest all the power generated by the engine). The exhaust is huge and looks like irritant (if I am not sounding rude) and the colors are actually nauseating. Suzuki GSX-R1000 2009 has all that and more.
The new 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 runs on a 999 cc lighter engine that generates extra power and torque giving improved throttle delivery at any rpm. The engine has larger valves in titanium and it has adopted forged piston technology and spark plug made of Iridium (for a stronger and quicker spark that can better the combustion).
The cylinders are SCEM plated (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) and are joined through crankcase, so to reduce friction as well as improve heat transfer and life. The 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 engine has an upped compression ratio of 12.8:1 with the fuel injectors having 12 holes to generate a mist of fuel for a loss-free combustion and also improve on economy.
Then, the new GSX-R1000 has S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) on handlebar on left side that offers a mode to select the ride mode to suit the ride conditions as well as economizing on the fuel.
There is torque limiting clutch for hassle-free clutch operation. The new SAES (Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System) has a high volume under-engine chamber as well as Moto GrandPrix styled titanium mufflers.
The Idle Speed Control system is to give a stable idle quality that in turn gives low emissions. The wheelbase is long and makes a smooth ride for race enthusiasts.
Overall, the new 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 doesn’t impress us overwhelmingly but I would not hesitate to lay my hands on the throttle to gallop a few laps on the track.
Suzuki GSX R1000 2009 Bike Review
Yes will it live to own the race track? I doubt. But it will compete with Yamaha and Honda. Its so thrilling to see at least superbikes coming into India. How much does it cost by the way on Indian roads? If I am not wrong its the same one that John Abraham rode in Dhoom!
Pricing… Well. Sources claim it would be priced around 11 Lakhs INR.
You bet!! John Abraham was zooming on the Suzuki Hayabusa (Suzuki GSX-R1000)
