[Webike Moto Report] The test drive Suzuki GSX-R1000R newest model

I have ridden at Phillip Island for the first time in ten years.
Last time was the 2007 model GSX-R1000.
I am very interested in how much it evolved in the past ten years.
Last time I could not handle the big power of 185 horsepower, I remember that I was riding with rear wheel slipping.

This time it is increased to 202 horsepower.
But this time it was easier to handle.
The engine is very smooth.
High speed driving is possible with ease, even it has 202 horsepower.
Chassis is also very good.
Traction control and tires are getting better.

In addition, the balance of the traction control, the suspension and the flexibility of the frame is very good, I can feel the limit of performance easily.
Therefore, I was able to ride very comfortably without feeling fear.
The torque is generated very smoothly.
Torque wasn’t outputted suddenly, and jerky.
The throttle response is smooth, there is no abrupt engine feeling at all.
You can decelerate and turn smoothly and in that time, suspension work firmly.
While the rider make the traction toward the road, the suspension works firmly.

When traction control works, the suspension will operate accordingly.
The movements of these combinations are very good.
Furthermore, the frame gets more flexible and this motorcycle is very easy to ride.
You can enjoy the riding near the limit of performance.
Auto shifter is a technology that each manufacturer adopts.
Today I was able to run without mistakes.

While having characteristics close to the racing machine, it can be easily ridden on the street.
I tried slalom at pit road, but it is a very agile bike.
This is the latest and powerful super sport, but you can ride without worry.
