Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2001 Suzuki GSX-R1000.
After approximately a decade and a half with the GSX-R1100 being the top of the Gixxer lineup, Suzuki introduced the all-new GSX-R1000 for 2001. Journalists felt it was the first bike to compete with Yamaha’s revolutionary R1 of 1998, and Suzuki was able to top the R1 with less weight and more power (374 pound dry weight, 160 hp/81 lb-ft at the crank).
As Visor Down put it in its used review: “Famous for its staggering performance the GSX-R1000 may be. But behind the supercar-slaying speed lurks a much more relaxed animal that fits into the real world quite nicely. And on that basis the rapid all-rounder might be a bit more suited to your needs than you’d expect.”
Manufactured in May 2001 this example is VIN: JS1GT74A212108881. Purchased from a previous Iconic auction, the seller states “this bike is featured on the Iconic Motorbikes’ youtube page. The bike was reviewed and ridden by Abhi himself. this bike is a true collectors piece!”
The odometer shows 2,857 miles. The seller has covered only one mile during his ownership.
