2024 Suzuki GSX-R1000RZ

2024 Suzuki GSX-R1000RZ

Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750 in 1985 and then created another milestone in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the lithe chassis of the GSX-R750 and a 988cc inline four-cylinder engine design that Suzuki is renowned for, liter-class Superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

At the pinnacle of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2024 GSX-R1000RZ’s versatile engine provides class-leading power that is delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2024’s compact chassis delivers nimble handling with excellent suspension feel and braking control, ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control, launch control, and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork slices through the wind.

Features may include:

• ENGINE

The compact, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999.8cc, inline-four-cylinder engine is designed with a high level of top-end performance plus strong low- to mid-range power.

• TRANSMISSION

The Suzuki Bi-Directional Quick Shift System permits clutchless upshifts and downshifts for faster lap-times during competition and exceptional rider convenience on the street.

• ADVANCED ELECTRONICS

Lightning-fast, 32-bit dual processor Engine Control Module (ECM) blends Suzuki’s vast street-going EFI knowledge with the intelligence from Suzuki’s race-winning MotoGP program. GSX-R1000RZ riders will get sportbike performance without peer while simultaneously receiving polished street manners.

• CHASSIS

Using lessons learning from Suzuki MotoGP chassis development, the engine angle of the GSX-R1000RZ was rotated backward six degrees as compared to the prior-generation GSX-R1000. This had the joint effect of reducing the distance of the fork to the center of the chassis by 20 mm and increasing the swingarm length by 40 mm. This increases chassis stability and improves aerodynamics.

• ELECTRICAL

Controller Area Network wire harness (CAN Bus) allows for fast and precise communications between all of the GSX-R1000RZ’s electronic systems. With a CAN Bus system, riders will experience swift and trouble-free electronic system operation while the size and complexity of the wiring is simplified.

• ADDITIONAL

A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories are available, plus a large selection of GSX-R logo apparel.
