Introducing the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000. Along with the switch to the single muffler design this year, the under-engine chamber is also gone. The 4-2-1 stainless steel exhaust gains a little pipe length before meeting with the titanium exhaust canister. Following these outward updates the remaining changes come from within, focusing primarily on the engine, but also on the chassis. Using finite-element-method (FEM) and fatigue-analysis techniques Borrowed directly from MotoGP, the new GSX-R's pistons are 11% lighter and yield a slightly higher compression ratio of 12.9:1 (from 12.8:1). To help the engine breathe better and Reduced pumping losses, pentagonal crankcase vents replace the box-shaped vents seen on the previous model. The new Brembo calipers are lighter than the outgoing Tokico calipers as well, but also Provide more positive braking power and feel, not only Because of Their construction, but also due to slightly larger caliper pistons. All of toll, the new GSX-R1000 is 4.4 pounds lighter than last year. Prices for the GSX-R1000 is $ 13.799.
