New frame, swingarm, engine. 191hp (4hp increase), 11 lbs lighter, 200 rear tire

The 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 is here and its lighter, shorter, more powerful and faster than ever.

Update: Press shots, features, specs and analysis after the jump.

Engine: 60mm shorter from front to rear. Over-square with a bore of 74.5mm and a stroke of 57.3mm. Compression ratio increased from 12.5 to 12.8:1. Suzuki claims increased tuning potential.Valves are larger and titanium, the pistons are forged and the conrods are shot-peened. The Drive Mode selector is now located on the left handlebar and offers three power delivery maps. A slipper clutch keeps everything in line while slowing down.

I will comment when I see without the cans!!!!! BUT did you see the front forks? Very nice:yeah:

[Turbo storm]

I'd take it....to KWS and get those giant exhausts off, and put a power commander on, and some decent size cans.

[fasterthanyours]

Did someone say "Decent Size Cans"???

"Exhaust: Swoopy titanium cans replace the chunky old ones. We like these very much."
They look more like titanium saddle bags.:lol:

[dumwinnie]

damn, those are some impressive #'s. on the flip side, how many squids will be claimed by the hp:iq inbalance? oh well, natural selection.

[fasterthanyours]

As many as it takes to cull the herd.

[DK]

Sounds impressive.

Burns, you guys see any more trouble out of the shift forks on the newer bikes ?

I would imagine the transmission is a little stronger by now.

[MrDude_1]

it looks just like the old GSXR... so i concur with the thread title.
