The bikes also boast a GSX-RR MotoGP inspired LCD multifunction instrument panel, and updated bodywork.

The GSX-R1000R stands out with its unique features, including Showa’s BFF and BFRC-Lite suspension components, stainless steel brake lines, radially-mounted Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, and 320mm Brembo T-drive floating brake rotors.
