2013 Suzuki GSXR 1000

firstkingmotorcycles Motorcycles are thrilled to be offering for sale this stunning 2013 Suzuki GSXR 1000

The now old GSX-R was an exceptional bike, winning AMA and world endurance titles and narrowly missing out on a BSB title. Suzuki have simply improved the weak points, namely better brakes, more midrange, lighter handling with a few cosmetic tweaks, which in the end produces an exceptional road bike with real world manners.

Supplied from ourselves with a fresh oil and filter service, 37-point comprehensive health check, 6 month minimum MOT and fully valeted giving you complete confidence when buying from JK.

It is one of the last race replicas sold by a leading manufacturer that does not include electronic rider aids – no traction control, no ABS, no anti-rear wheel lift.

Regardless, what we get is one of the best handling and all-around performing bikes on the market today. Sure, with all the power it delivers, traction control would be a welcome addition, but a rider’s careful execution of throttle actuation will take care of business. My real focus is street riding at a reasonable pace, though we will take it to the track for some riding insights.

While on the subject, let’s compare the GSX-R1000 to Suzuki’s GSX-R750, which I reviewed in January (2013 Suzuki GSX-R750 Review). Again, we selected Greg Nulman’s Motoyard as the track day organization of choice, only for the GSX-R1000 we visit them at Buttonwillow Raceway Park .

The 2013 Suzuki GSX-R1000 is still relevant even in the face of advancing technologies. It has most of what it takes to be a fast companion and offers faster riders a solid platform to build their dream machine.
