Suzuki's reworked the GSX-R1000, which resulted in better performance and a drop in weight of about four 2,27 kilograms.
Enter the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000 it's a new motorcycle from the ground up and, also like them it consists almost entirely of minor, incremental alterations. Some technology Suzuki used is the more durable forged pistons designed with the same Finite Element Method (FEM), New pentagonal shaped ventilation holes, which reduce pumping losses due to internal crankcase air-pressure resistance to downward piston movement, optimized camshaft profiles for great racing potential, developed using proven MotoGP racing engine technology, and a few more things. Suzuki also reworked the whole 999cc 4-cylinder engine, with Bore x Stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm, which brings enhanced throttle response across the entire rpm range and high potential for racetrack performance.
