Mods

None, just got the bike.

Carberation

has lots of raw power in first 3 gears. better hang on tight, because the front end will come up in all three gears. Hesitates a little under 4000 rpm's.

Brakes

Brakes are racing quality just the way they come.

Handling

This bike has tons of power, but my CBR 954 can cut the corners tighter. I can whip the 954 back and forth easier. But by no means is this a bad handler.

Comments

One hell of a bike, even in the twisties.

Mods

Unbolted rear fender < no more mud shovel 2 Brothers slip on

Carberation

Low end power is kinda twitchie (is that a word?) from about 2-4k the throttle is real sensitive , after that , hold on because this rocket wants to fly, from 5-9k throttle is smooth controlable power , after that the power seems to shoot through the roof causing 90 mile an hour power wheelies, vibrates a little after about 160mph but what do you expect

Brakes

Brakes what are those? Really though stopping is fast , and smooth , good thing cause I ride with a bunch of nuts , and stopping fast is a priority

Handling

Was able to keep with some r6s's through some major twisties, then on the straights I whooped em

Comments

I love this bike , whenever my girl doesn't put out , I go for a quick ride ...then I'm fine Thank you Suzuki...

Mods

stock

Carberation

It just pulls and pulls

Brakes

Pretty good - especially for a stock bike, but they'll get some braided lines soon.

Handling

great - hard to keep the front end down though and the suspension took some dialing in. Once it get's worked out it's great - it steers quite well.

F****

Mods

standard

Carberation

only glitches are at low speeds,hit a bump or pot hole and the bike lunges forward if you don't hold throttle very still

Brakes

at first felt like suzuki of old,but after some hard riding really came together, now learning stoppies

Handling

awsome flys like at butterfly stings like a bee

a fellow biker has a RSVR,he's always last home need we say more

Stock 2003, GSXR 1000: This bike is awsome with never ending power, the midrange on the bike makes you feel like a little kid all over again. Hit each gear at 10,000 RPM and get ready to scream under your helmet like there was know tomorrow. This bike is so race ready it takes riding to another level it makes me feel like the bike has more talent than i do (and it does).

Carberation

None whats so ever

Brakes

Execellent brake response with no fading

Handling

This bike will out handle you it is in my opinion the most race ready bike ever produced.

esta es la moto mas poderosa que yo e manejado es increible la forma de acelerar, no puedes tocar a fondo el acelerador en el primer cambio por mas profecional que uno sea ya que si lo haces la moto te tirara. esta moto en su aspecto reducido y peso parece una moto de menor cilindraje asi que por esto es muy maniobrable el frenado con las dos rueda es muy suave y cuando se requiere es brusco y fuerte a fondo en maximas velocidades en su categoria es la mas rapida serca de los 300 kilometros por hora y esto lo digo porque yo mismolo comprobe para mi es la mejor moto super deportiva que han hecho en serie al publico en general

this bike is trash compared the ZX12R. They don't even compare. You can keep this trash. This bike sucks and I wouldn't even take one if someone tried to give me one. 2 thumbs down, you suck GSXR1000

Mods

Cylinder head - ported, polished, 2mm oversize intake valves, gsxr 750 springs, with a set of Web Cams. Block - 3mm overbore with a custom set of JE pistons. Carrillo pro H-beam rods. Crankshaft - fully race prepped by Falicon. Falicon billet clutch basket. 43 tooth rear sprocket. TiForce pipe. Powercommander. Fender eliminator kit. Brembo master cylinder. Performance friction brake pads. Ohlins adjustable steering damper

Carberation

No loss of low end power. This bike will power wheelie in 6th. Problem is, my friends can't keep up. But I guess that was the point!

Brakes

The Brembo master cylinder combined with the performance friction pads have greatly improved the bite, feel, and control of the front brakes.

Handling

Handles like a champ

Comments

This bike replaces my 2002 Honda 954. While the Honda was a nice bike, I felt that the Suzuki was a better base platform for performance modifications.

Mods

Yoshi Tri oval, K&N mud flap and blinker replaced.

Carberation

Little flat till about 4 grand after that hang on, that was with stock pipe and filter, after mods seems alot lot better at low rpm's but might of lost a little on top, going to have the ecu remapped for the new mods

Brakes

so far so good

Handling

runs and handles

Comments

Love it, thinking about trading in my ZX9R for another one. Performance feels like a 2 stroke drit bike( on a bigger scale) when you grap a handful of throttle just takes off and won't stop till you let off.

arata full exhaust,powercommander with custom map,k&n airfilter,rear fender eliminatoe kit, front rake spacer. 165.7 rearwheel hp yeaaah boyyy!!

Carberation

a little easy going until 5000rpm and then hang on for the ride of your life.Power delivery is super smooth.

Brakes

brakes feel good but this bike could use steel braided brake lines for less fade.

Handling

with my spacer it turns quicker than a 16 year old boy spotting a naked woman walking down the street.This bike with a few suspension adjustments holds it's line like a poor man holding a winning lottery ticket

Comments

Goota love that gixxer. Read all the articles it has the best lap time everytime. I had a Busa but it was to heavy. I feel my 1000 is just as fast.

stock in regards to performance,otherwise fender eliminator - scotts steering damper, and a freestyle ingenuity crash cage with swingarm spools. and i decided to go with castrol acteevo 10w 40 as my choice of oil.

Carberation

the power delivery of this bike compared to the other bikes ive driven is ridiculous. One thing to beware of is a cold rear tire thats why i try and keep it low rpms until a mile or 2. (or jus do a quik burnout)

Brakes

brakes are real nice...but its light for a thousand so braking isn't a problem.

Handling

The 1st day i got the bike i decided to open it up right before going to the garage i redlined 1st gear at like 103mph and i almost died as it tank slapped...my friend behind me was seeing my rear tail light going from left to right really fast. in anycase ...the scotts steering damper was one of the best investments. Besides that handles like a dream.

Comments

it loves to wheelie!!!! especially with someone on the back.....oh and i almost forgot its a reallly sexy beast.
