2015 suzuki gsx

[Mike Holland]

Anyone connected that knows about the new motor coming out from Suzuki?

SUZUKI has taken arguably the best GSX-R1000 motor and put it in a softer, more rider-friendly chassis to create a category they are calling ‘Pure Sports.’ Meet the new Suzuki GSX-S1000F.
The bike, revealed at the Cologne Show today, uses a retuned version of the Suzuki GSX-R1000 motor used from 2005 to 2008. Most GSX-R fans reckon (including me) that was when the GSX-R1000 was renowned for its low-down torque and monstrous punch from the 999cc motor.
The motor is retuned for its intended new use with new cams, pistons, and a new radiator, along with new fuel injection system with three-way traction-control system selectable by the rider, from sport, road, and rain. Sadly, Suzuki aren’t releasing any power, torque or weight figures for the bike yet.

The bike is designed to be a rapid road bike with more comfort and distance covering ability than the GSX-R1000, much in the vein of the successful Kawasaki Z1000SX. It uses a fat tapered aluminium Renthal handlebar to provide an upright riding

Anything new on this?

I saw the bike in person last Saturday at the International Motorcycle show, De tuned from the original GSXR but still might make a good car engine, The Kawasaki supercharged engine was interesting, But I think the new Yamaha R1 was most impressive

Now an engine with ~290 HP.... that's a monster.... wonder what it weighs and if you could use a wet sump?

George, thoughts?
