Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2017 >>> (L7)
 

The 2017 model, had a significantly redesigned engine the first since the last engine update on the 2009 model.
This new engine has a higher RPM limit and no balancer shaft to quell vibration, also a mechanical variable valve timing used for ten years by Suzuki in MotoGP and drive by wire throttle. This model is the first to get the addition of traction control with a (IMU) inertial measuring unit measuring yaw, roll and pitch

Also all lighting is now LED.

Another first for any GSX-R is the use of a fuel gauge on this model.

Along with the new 2017 GSX-R1000 model, Suzuki has also released an up spec model GSX-R1000R; this R model comes with a Motion Track Brake System, Bi-directional quick shifter and launch control. Also on the R model, are the same Showa Balance Free Front (BFF) fork and Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC Lite) shock. Specifications are 202 horsepower at 13,200 rpm
It will be illegal to register the model in the EU, EFTA, or UK from 1 January 2023 unless it is updated to comply with Euro 5.

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2012-2016 (L2-L6)
 

Suzuki included technological developments meant for their racing bikes in the 2012 model year. This includes new materials for a lighter, better revving engine with increased compression. At the same time, the GSX-R1000 receives radial Brembo monoblock calipers, and racing rotors, a new ECM for top-drawer engine management, three engine mappings, clear-lens turn signals and a host of other minute tweaks imported from the MotoGP and Endurance World Championship.

The 2015 MY GSX-R1000 celebrates Suzuki's return to MotoGP, and offers a Racing Blue livery which harks back to the looks of the Rizla-sponsored bikes of the past.

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2009-2011 (K9-L1)
 

The 2009 enjoys the accolades the liter-class machine received in the AMA Superbike Championship. While the GSX-R1000 is not a completely new-generation machine, Suzuki's engineers continue to tinker and squeeze out more performance from the engine, while chassis tweaks constantly improve cornering, grip and maneuverability.
Thanks to the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS), the lever feel is lighter and less fatiguing even during longer track sessions, while the presence of multiple parts crafted from lightweight materials are keeping the bike on a strict diet. Chassis, wheel and engine revisions also help for better mass distribution and a more aggressive feel.

The 2010 does not come with major updates

The 2011 model doesn't bring any new major improvements, as it looks like Suzuki's constant tinkering here and there is enough to maintain the edge this bike has both on the track and the street. The liveries for 2011 have been upgraded, and the bike is delivered in Solid Black/Metallic Mat Titanium Silver and the new graphics Metallic Triton Blue/Glass Splash White.

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2007-2008 (K7-K8)
 

A significantly updated GSX-R1000 for 2007

The new bike gained 6.4 kg over the 2006 model which was due to its new exhaust system and new emissions regulations.
To counter this weight increase, Suzuki claimed improved aerodynamics along with a faster revving engine and larger throttle body.
Although not a completely new model, the engine and chassis have been updated.
It also featured three different engine mapping configurations, selectable via two buttons located on the right handlebar. One up, and one down arrow to cycle between Mode A (unrestricted), Mode B (reduced power until 50% throttle is applied), and Mode C (reduced power throughout the rpm regardless of throttle application).
It also received a hydraulic clutch.

The 2007 model carried over to 2008 without any significant improvements.

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2005-2006 (K5-K6)
 

The 2005 model year GSX-R1000 had a redesigned engine and chassis.

It had 2.0 kg lower weight than the previous model and the engine had an 11 cc larger displacement due to a 0.4mm bore increase.
It had a totally new frame reducing the total length of the bike by 41 mm but reducing its wheelbase only 0.51 mm.

There were new brakes with radial mounted calipers and 310 mm discs at the front. The new titanium silencer (catalytic in Europe) was said to be designed to reduce turbulence to minimum. This model weighs in at a mere 166kg, putting it towards the top of the power-to-weight ratio charts.

The 2005 model has a tested wet weight of 201 kg. Power output is tested at 178 hp. Also in 2005 Suzuki used a single "S" logo on the tank on all models instead of The brand's full name.

The 2005 model carried over to 2006 without any significant improvements other than a few appearance changes.

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2003-2004 (K3-K4)
 

After the GSX-R1000 had been three years on the roads and race tracks, Suzuki put out a new version of the model in late September 2002. Suzuki engineers had been working on the three things that made a fast bike faster; weight, power, and handling. The 2003 year's GSX-R1000 was improved in all three counts. It weighed less, had more power/torque, and handled better.

The physical dimensions of the bike were almost identical to the previous year's model. The seat height and the overall height were somewhat lower but the geometry of the bike was exactly the same as before. The already rigid aluminum alloy frame was newly designed and enforced with internal ribs, also there was an updated headlight and tail fairing. The frame, as well as the wheels, were now coated black.

The front brakes were also new. Suzuki decided to drop the six-piston calipers. The new radially mounted four-piston calipers weigh 30 grams less and grip smaller 300 mm discs that save another 300 g. Though smaller, Suzuki claimed that the new brakes provide better stopping and turn-in performance.

The headlights of the 2003 year's GSX-R1000 were mounted vertically to enable the ram-air intakes in the front to be placed 20 mm nearer the bike's centerline. The new design was very much inspired by the look of the Hayabusa. The instruments were also redesigned.

The cylinder displacement of the engine remained the same 988 cc, but more power/torque and better throttle response had been achieved by adding four ventilation holes between the cylinders to equalize crankcase pressure beneath the pistons, moving the air intake nearer to the centerline and upgrading the engine management system from a 16-bit to a 32-bit ECU. The entire exhaust system was now made of titanium to save an additional 0.60 kg and the tail light was replaced with LEDs.

The 2003 model carried over to 2004 without any significant improvements

Suzuki GSX-R1000, 2001-2002 (K1-K2)
 

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is a supersport motorcycle made by Suzuki. It was introduced in 2001 to replace the largest and most powerful model of the GSX-R series sportbike, the GSX-R1100 (1986-1998)

The GSX-R1000 was not just an enlarged version of the GSX-R750, although it shared many features with its little brother. The mainframe is the same in both models, but the material used on the big brother was .5 mm thicker. Suzuki claimed the torsional rigidity of the frame had increased 10% in comparison with the GSX-R750.

The GSX-R1000 engine was a redesigned GSX-R750 engine. The R1000 had a 1 mm bigger bore and 13 mm longer stroke, newly designed pistons with lower crown, and gear-driven counter balancer. The performance of the engine is a peak of 160 bhp at 9,500 rpm

Using titanium for the exhaust downpipe (K1 model link pipe is black, K2 model link pipe is polished titanium) and the inside of the silencer, enabled the 1000s exhaust system to become 1.8 kg lighter than that of the 750. Titanium was also used in the front fork (titanium-nitride) to coat the stanchions. An exhaust tuning valve had been mounted inside the exhaust pipe. Using a servo the system dynamically adjusted the exhaust backpressure, according to engine speed, throttle position, and gear selection for increased torque, lower emissions, and decreased noise

The 2001 model carried over to 2002 with minimal changes.
2002 introduced modifications to the fuel pump, clutch, front axle, torque link, mirrors, and luggage hooks. The manual fast-idle was replaced with a computer operated implementation (the "STV servo"). New colors, and new GSXR stickers.
