Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Phantom. pairs a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 185 HP (135 kW) at 12,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 185.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (12,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the GSX-R1000 Phantom. measures 172 kg (379 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.08 HP/kg (0.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 290 km/h (180 mph).

Notes
Three different engine power settings are available at the flick of a switch, ensuring that the GSX-R1000 has the right amount of power for the conditions of the road. The GSX-R’s advanced fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 16-valve four-cylinder engine provides class leading power. To help the chassis control the massive amount of power on tap, the GSX-R1000 features an integral steering damper.
