Suzuki has launched ihe GSX-R1000R Phantom, a special edition of its super sport bike, very similar to the iconic GSX-R1000 K6 Phantom from 2006. It arrives with gold wheels, Yoshimura silencer, genuine accessories and a beautiful colour. Look’s a little like something Batman would ride!
It features the Yoshimura exhaust system – this time an R11 silencer and heat shield finished in metallic black with carbon cover – and some Suzuki accessories, including track-focussed brake, clutch lever guards, a tank pad and fuel cap trim and a smoked double bubble screen.
The model looks very sleek in matte black and is complemented by glossy black decals. My Favourite colours, black and black so no complaints about the colour scheme from me! Standing out against the colour scheme are the gold wheels and gold USD Showa BFF – Balance Free Front front suspension.
The engine of the GSX-R1000R is a liquid-cooled, 999.8 cm³ in-line four cylinder, capable of generating up to 202 HP of maximum power. It uses the same variable valve timing system as the MotoGP World Championship winning GSX-RR.
In addition, it comes with a complete set of electronics, including a bi-directional quickshifter, lean angle-sensitive. Not only this but 10-mode traction control, ABS, launch control and three power modes. The LCD multifunction dashboard is inspired by the GSX-RR MotoGP dash. Dashboard protectors can be found here
Finally, the special edition GSX-R1000R Phantom retails in the UK at £17,499.
