2005 GSx-R1000

Suzuki has totally revamped its GSX-R1000 sportbike for 2005, reducing weight, increasing power, and adding features to make racers drool.Big power, seamless fuel injection, a slipper clutch for smooth downshifts all good stuff. But this "racebike" has lights and turn signals. Cool turn signals, even. With a claimed dry weight of 365 pounds, the new bike weighs 5 pounds less than the 2004. Suzuki also did a lot of wind-tunnel testing to reduce the frontal area by 4 percent and cut aerodynamic drag by 5 percent. In addition, the bike is a little shorter front-to-rear, shorter from the top of the windscreen to the pavement, and a little narrower from side to side.Available in the states with an MSRP of $10,849, the new GSXR1000 will be available in black/yellow, black/gray, and, of course, blue/white.
