2007 Suzuki GSXR1000 - Wicked Fast, Big Smiles
2007 suzuki GSXR1000 reviewed by speedtv.com
Sitting up on the brakes from close to 180mph, the pressure from the wind smacking me clean on the chin and chest is almost enough to yank the bars out of my hands. At this speed it is hard to focus on the rapidly approaching Doohan corner, and I haul on the anchors, bang a couple of downshifts while making sure to avoid the ripples on the inside of the turn. The new GSXR1000 is just so wickedly fast, the way it gets to this point from the exit of turn twelve is mind blowing, and by the end of my first session I pull into the pits bathed in sweat, even on a fairly cool day.
The new 2007 GSXR1000 needs commitment with a capital C. Producing a whopping 160 plus rear wheel horsepower, a 4% increase on last years all-conquering machine, there are few places on the Philip Island circuit where I have the throttle screwed all the way to the stop. The power delivery now comes a tad higher at 12,000rpm, compared to last year’s 11,000 rpm ceiling, but the extra power allows the bike to have a broader spread of power this year, and anytime you twist the throttle it pulls like a rabid freight train.
