The revamped Suzuki GSX-R 1ooo for the year 2012 is currently on display at the 2011 EICMA.
We already introduced the model a while ago in a previous post, but we can quickly underline again the main differences between the new Gixer and its current incarnation: new livery and color schemes, single muffler, Brembo monobloc radial calipers, MotoGP-derived pistons (11% lighter), improved throttle response, better responsiveness at mid revs, -8% of average fuel consumption, 2kg lighter, adjustable BPF front fork and a new instrument panel.
As always, the big Gixer is a stunner and one of the main attractions at the Milan event.
