Since Suzuki first stuffed a 988cc inline-four engine into the compact GSX-R750 chassis in 2001, the GSX-R1000 has held its pace as a heavy hitter in the superbike category. The last major update to the GSX-R came in 2017 with a ground-up redesign, but development has been held nearly stagnant since. Regardless, the Gixxer remains a favorite for its well-balanced, easy-to-ride character and usable performance.
