Suzuki continues to prepare for its full-time return to the MotoGP series
The GSX-RR is a 1000cc transverse, inline four-cylinder machine, whereas the previous machine, the GSV-R, was an 800cc V-four. Suzuki claims the new bike has more than 230 horsepower. Suspension is by Ohlins, brakes are Brembo units. Team Manager Davide Brivio explains the reasoning behind the switch to an inline configuration: “Well, to be also closer to our production bikes. One of the aims of participation in MotoGP is to develop technology to transfer to production bikes. So using the same engine layout there means stronger links to our production. That’s the target; the aim.”
Suzuki has been preparing for its return to MotoGP full-time for close to two years now, with continued testing and development of the all-new GSX-RR. We've gathered up this gallery of 12 shots of the new bike during testing and the official release held at Motegi in October.
