Built around Suzuki's sport motorcycle platform, the 2013 Suzuki GSX-R1000 features a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-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 12.9:1 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 1,485 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
