2001 Suzuki GSX-R 1000

This is a 2001 Suzuki GSX-R1000. The bike is pre-owned and in good running condition. The engine has about 6,000 miles on it and the odometer has about 25,000 miles. The bike has been regeared, so I estimate the odometer to actually be around 18,000 miles. The original engine was replaced with an '02 engine with less miles. The engine runs very good, pulls hard and is faster than most other 1000s. With the stock retail value of this bike, there is over $11,000 in it. Hopefully you can enjoy having this bike as much as we have.

For the model year of 2001 Suzuki introduced a new GSX-R model that replaced the largest and most powerful of the racing replica family, GSX-R1100. As the model name reveals, the engine's cylinder displacement was 100 cc smaller than its predecessor but the new 988 cc engine was more than adequate to give the GSX-R1000 enormous prestanda. It delivers 160 bhp at 11,000 rpm and the bike was capable of making a quarter mile in under 10 seconds.

The GSX-R1000 is light, powerful and more balanced than any other street legal race replica and even many racing bikes! Naturally there's models that are more suitable for touring and commuting but if you are looking for a really fast bike that you like to use both on track and on the road, then look no further. The GSX-R1000 is the bike for you. It's the best bike in its class.

The new GSX-R1000 was voted as the best Internation Bike Of The Year in 2001 by 13 bike magazines from all over the world. The GSX-R750 won the award in 1997.

The GSX-R1000 is not just an enlargened version of the GSX-R750, although it shares many features with its little brother. The main frame is basically the same in both models, but the material used on the big brother is 0,5 mm thicker. According to Suzuki, the torsional rigidity of the frame has increased 10% in comparison with the 750. The dimensions of the bike have more in common with the TT racer Suzuki RGV500 than the GSX-R750.

The GSX-R1000 engine is basically a redigned GSX-R750 engine. The R1000 has 1 mm bigger bore and 13 mm longer stroke, newly designed (sligtly lighter) pistons with lower crown and gear-driven counter balancer, to mention a few differences. The engine weighs 59 kg (130 lbs) which is slightly heavier than the 750 engine but 14 kg (31 lbs) lighter than the engine of the GSX-R1300 Hayabusa.

Using titanium for the exhaust pipe and the inside of the silencer the R1000's exhaust system has become 1,8 kg (4 lbs) lighter compared with the 750. Titanium is also also used in the front fork, the inner tubes are coated with the resistant material.

An unique exhaust tuning valve has been mounted inside the exhaust pipe. Suzuki says the system matches the exhaust back pressure to engine speed, throttle position and gear selection for increased torque, lower emissions and decreased noise.

The swinging arm is adjustable, as with the works racing machines.
