Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 features a 999 cc (61 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 74.5 x 57.3 mm (2.9 x 2.3 inches) with a 12.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GSX-R1000 measures 203 kg (448 lbs) wet (curb). 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 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
