presentation of the GSX-R 1000 2004
gifted, uncompromising, almost magical, the GSX-R 1000 has been the benchmark on the racetrack since its birth. For 2003, Mr Suzuki has put a little more of the best into everything: lighter (-2 kg), more powerful (+4 hp), new carbon surface treatment on the fork, radial brake calipers... We're not far from MotoGP.
the previous generation 's brakes were powerful, but lacked bite - now, with radial calipers, those memories are put to rest: bite and efficiency are top-notch. The fork now works more efficiently, while providing an extra dose of serenity and riding comfort.
the block has undergone few changes, but is less violent on re-acceleration, while remaining just as strong. The new GSX-R is less brutal and more usable, but its strength remains demonic. In use, the machine requires very serious riding skills if you want to make the most of the cavalry. But for experienced riders, it's an indestructible tool of performance and efficiency. New electronic management and excellent braking are the GSX-R 1000's main evolutions, along with a new fairing that finally sets it apart from its 600 and 750 siblings.
the new, slimmer tank at knee level makes it easier to squeeze the machine into threads. Combined with a more forward-tilted stance and a column angle reduced from 24° to 23.5°, the beast is even more maneuverable... faster, more powerful, lighter, better braking... eh oh, is there any left for the competition?

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 20 reviews
Very pleasant to sit on, with great acceleration potential.
Handling at a standstill is a pain, with little steering, and in curves, whether you're comfortable or not, the bike bends without too much effort.
Excessive fuel consumption.
I miss the z1000, which I found much more pleasant... Rating : 5/5 Respond to Franfran10
The 2004 Gex 1000 really stands out from the crowd, with fantastic smoothness of use and almost supernatural comfort compared to the nature of the bike (hyper sport), even in town!
In short, multi-make and multi-model, for me this bike is the most enjoyable I've ever owned...
Headlight call ;o)) Rating : 5/5 Respond to silvercup
The sequence of curves at 260+ is incredible. Not being a racer, the bike's potential isn't used to the full, but what a pleasure! Beware, experienced bikers, it's stronger than you!
The only problem is that your licence may soon run out;-)
