A number of manufacturers have begun to flood the 1000 cc motorcycle market with new models. This step will also be carried out by Suzuki. Reportedly Suzuki is working on a new generation of GSX-R1000. Not just a display, many hope that he can meet the Euro 5 emission standards and get some new electronic devices.Until now, the GSX-R family still survives with the same look and specifications as the previous model. However, there is information indicating the Japanese manufacturer plans to release the all-new GSX-R1000 for the 2022 model. With the current generation entering its fifth year (and second revision), Suzuki is ready to offer a brand-new model of its po[CENSORED]r superbike.While there has been no confirmation from the Hamamatsu-based manufacturer, extensive upgrades need to be made. Many think that this new bike is part of Suzuki's plan to return to compete in the WorldSBK Championship.Suzuki's lack of a production-based class is evident, despite the company's current success in MotoGP. They have made great success with Joan Mir who won the championship in 2020. On the other hand, in the superbike market in particular the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is still losing out to its competitors from fellow Japanese and European manufacturers. Even so, he is still recognized as a MOGE with a high-performance engine.

 

 

In terms of expectations, many would like Suzuki to be able to give the GSX-R1000 a Euro5 homologation. In addition, he must be able to become a barrier to his enemies such as the Honda CBR1000RR-R SP Fireblade, Kawasaki ZX-10RR, Ducati Panigale V4R and BMW M 1000 R. At least the new engine can produce 200 hp. New electronic devices are also one of the most important aspects. Because he is already far behind by his competitors.As we know, the Suzuki GSX-R1000R still relies on an engine with a capacity of 999 cc, inline 4 cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled. It is capable of recording a maximum power of 194 hp at 13,200 rpm and 117 Nm of torque at 10,800 rpm.Electronic devices that exist in him are Variable Valve Timing (VVT), Suzuki Exhaust Tuning-Alpha (SET-A), Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS), Motion Track TCS (Traction control system) and launch control & Bi-directional quick shift system, which makes it easier for users when driving at high speeds. And the Suzuki Top Feed Injector (S-TFI) which improves performance at low and high revs.The sturdy frame is supported by an upside down Showa BBF (Balance Free Front Fork) and a Showa BFRC (Balance Free Rear Cushion lite) monoshock rear. For braking, it uses four-piston monoblock radial mount brake calipers coupled with Brembo disc brakes and floating mount T-drive. Do not forget to also pinned the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Dual Channel device. (Bgx/Raju)
