[imagunna]

Suzuki USA have officially released it 09 GSXR 1000.
Apparently it was released in Europe last week.
Reckon it looks pretty good. A white version for Europe but not listed for USA . Blue,black and a deep red. Wonder what they will release in OZ. Not due till around march. New specs and curved exhausts that would look great on Busa.
No official mention of 09 Busa.

Yep looks ok but I think that maybe the new R1 is going to be the big seller next year unless the k9 has more go. Yamaha have had some problems with there new technology over the last few years so maybe people will be a bit wary.

Hi Boys and Gals if you like keeping up to date with bikes I find this website here in Aus really good. Here is some info from the website and if you want a better look there are some pictures of the new bike as well, haven't been able to put any in as I'm having some issue adding attachments for some reason.

2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Features

999cm3 4-cylinder powerplant, designed lighter and 59.6mm shorter from front to rear, delivers more power and torque, and enhanced throttle response across the entire rpm range.

The new compact engine enabled 10mm shorter wheelbase and 33mm longer swingarm to improve racetrack performance.

New, more over-square bore x stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm (changed from 73.4mm x 59.0mm) gives the engine better overall tuning potential. The compression ratio is now 12.8:1, changed from 12.5:1.

The engine employs enlarged titanium valves in diameter, forged pistons, shot-peened conrods and Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the crankcase, reducing friction and improving heat transfer, durability and ring seal.

12-hole fuel injectors produce a finer fuel mist for more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of three performance settings to suit riding conditions and personal tastes. Now the switch is relocated on the left handlebar control module.

Iridium spark plugs produce a stronger spark for better combustion.

Large, efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team racebikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag.

Cable-operated back-torque-limiting clutch makes for efficient clutch operation with superb feel.

Unique Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) uses an under-engine chamber and low-slung, large-volume MotoGP-inspired titanium mufflers.

Twin-spar cradle frame made of five cast sections, mated with an arched swingarm made of three castings and one-piece die-cast rear subframe.

Big Piston Frontforks (BPF) with an endurance-race-proven design deliver superb feedback and responsive, stable operation, and are lightweight.

Rear shock absorber features adjustable rebound damping, spring preload, and both high-speed and low-speed compression damping.

Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and rigid, lightweight race-proven monoblock forged radial-mount calipers.

The edgy and clean GSX-R1000 styling incorporates fairing and bodywork details aimed at reducing turbulence and drag.

Attention to rider comfort includes a carefully shaped seat and adjustable footpegs. Tailsection cover included for solo rides or track days.

Sculpted fuel tank is lighter, while capacity remains 17.5 liters (4.6 US gal).
New look multi-reflector headlight with vertically stacked high and low-beam halogen bulbs centered between position lights on each side.

For Europe, the position lights each have layered lenses with blue coloring on the inside lens for an even sportier look.

Front and rear turn signals feature clear lenses over amber bulbs.

Instruments include a silver-ringed analog tachometer with LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include odometer, dual trip meters, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure warning indicator, gear position indicator, lap timer/stopwatch, S-DMS setting indicator and bar-graph indicating the instrument lighting level, or brightness.
