The hotly anticipated 2011 model of the championship-winning Suzuki GSX-R1000 has been unleashed in Australia, with class-mastering performance, cutting edge technology, design and engineering.

The ultimate fusion of performance and design, the GSX-R1000's smooth looks are highlighted by dramatic new graphics for 2011 and a striking new Blue / White livery or a Black / Silver colour scheme.

An unsurpassed package, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is powered by a 999cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, featuring the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel-injection system and a class-leading power-to-weight ratio.

The class defining GSX-R1000 is packed with race-bred technology, including Suzuki's original Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) which offers a selection of three performance settings to suit riding conditions, a back-torque-limiting clutch and titanium mufflers.

With a twin-spar cradle frame, made from just five cast aluminium-alloy sections, and the revolutionary Big Piston Front-fork (BPF) front suspension system developed in conjunction with Showa, the GSX-R1000 offers supreme handling.

New liveries highlight the GSX-R1000's stunning looks, with the aerodynamic bodywork the result of extensive wind tunnel development.

The GSX-R1000 has an impressive racing pedigree and since its introduction a decade ago, has won multiple championships including four Australian Superbike Championships.

Celebrating 25 years of the GSX-R legend and over one million GSX-R models sold worldwide, the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R1000 is ready to own the racetrack, or deliver an exhilarating ride on the road.

Now available for a Recommended Price of $18,990\*, the GSX-R1000 is backed by Suzuki's two year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
