Custom 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000
The 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the bike that got Max Biaggi on the podium for 17 out of the 25 races during the 2007 Superbike WOrld Championship Season. This is the same bike that won Atsushi Watanabe the title in the 2007 All Japan Road Race Championship, the premier motorcycle road racing championship in Japan. Wouldn’t that make you wonder what makes the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 so blindingly fast?
Let me as you this. Do you have any idea how a stratospheric 13,750 rpm feels like? If not, let me describe it for you in the best way I can: It can take you from 0 to 160 kph… without leaving first gear! With outrageous gobs of power in the region of 160 horsepower at the wheel, it’s not very hard to lift the front tire off the ground. With that kind of power, it’s not too hard to make a mistake. And you better be careful of twisting the throttle all the way so suddenly as you will definitely be pulled back so hard, you’ll risk falling off the bike. This bike is a speed demon.
I don’t mean to scare you. I’m just giving you an idea of how fast you can go riding this crotch rocket. But Suzuki has made it easy to bring all of that power under your control. Through a thumb operated switch, you’re able to select between three different engine mapping modes.
The default “A” mode gives you all the power from the 1000cc 4-cylinder engine available at all times. Switch to “B” mode, and the throttle response becomes tamer, but still gives you 100% of the engine’s power when you twist the throttle to the max. While “B” mode makes the bike feel more like a 750cc, “C” mode makes it feel somewhat like a 600cc. It makes the bike more manageable, and with less of a tendency for the back wheel to slide out during turns, which is perfect for wet conditions and riding out in the rain.
Frame sliders, seen protruding from the fairing, have been installed to protect the bike from parking lot tipovers, or worse, a crash. An MRA Windshield,which is a tad taller than the factory version, has been installed for to make those long rides more comfortable.
Though the GSX-R1000 came stock with a speed sensitive steering damper, which becomes stiffer as you go faster, this has even been upgraded with an aftermarket Ohlins steering damper seen under the instrument cluster. This will prevent you from encountering any scary high speed wobbles.
As compared to the 2006 version, 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000 came stock with a dual exhaust system due to more stringent global emmissions and noise regulation standards. The tradeoff is that it has contributed to the 2007 version gaining 14 pounds additional weight. The owner of this GSX-R1000 has removed the entire exhaust system and replaced it with a lighter, and more free-flowing Akrapovic Full System Exhaust.
Now let’s go for a ride around the Philip Island Circuit in Australia in the 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000:
Imagine having this much power at your mercy. You’ll be leaving every Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini you see on the road! And all this for a fraction of the price! What I’m saying here is that this bike that we’re featuring here is actually for sale for only PHP 610,000. And the owner says it’s negotiable! Are you interested?
