THE British Superbike Championship winner is not resting on its victor's laurels for 2005. Suzuki's flagship has more power, more torque, less weight, new styling and there's even more room for the rider.

The GSX-R1000 has owed the racetrack around the world since its launch, and for 2005 it looks set to leave the opposition trailing in its wake - no other current competitor has such a fearsome power-to-weight ratio. The GSX-R family is 20 years old and the new GSX-R1000 is a fitting celebration.
