The Suzuki GSX-R1000, upon its launch in 2001, it swept all liter bikes before it. Until 2007 it had that magical state for of being untouchable. And so six years later it is still arguably the best of the liter sport bike brood, but how does it handle in the fiercely fought second-hand sector?
First, it's funny how the original 2001 GSX-R1000 now looks next to the newer and silky-smooth GSX-R1000 K7, or the latest Yamaha R1 and Honda Blade. But half a decade or more ago this was the latest 'big thing', a machine which made the likes of liter bikes we now see on the road.
