We published a report of Suzuki Italia posting a teaser pictures of a carbon-fibre-clad GSX-R1000 earlier this month. They have now unveiled the bike, known as the Suzuki GSX-R1000 Ryuyo.

Suzuki Italy Teases with Special GSX-R1000 Model

It is definitely a race-ready special edition GSX-R1000, unfortunately it is not the official WSBK homologation special that we had hoped for. Still, the Ryuyo is one sexy machine!

The name “Ryuyo” is a tribute to Suzuki’s Ryuyo R&D centre which develops all of the manufacturer’s new models. Only 20 Ryuyo-spec GSX-R1000 will be built and sold at €29,990 (RM 144,935.88 as this went to press).

According to its spec sheet, the Gixxer Ryuyo makes 209bhp at 12,900 RPM and 119Nm of torque at 10,300 RPM, besides weighing only 168kg (dry), equating a 1.24 bhp per kg power-to-weight ratio.

The bike was developed with a number of high-end technical partners, including:

  • Yoshimura (exhaust system).

  • Öhlins (the rear shock is Öhlins TTX GP but the forks are Showa BFF with Öhlins NIX 30 internals).

  • Dunlop (KR108 and KR109 slicks).

  • Extreme Components (carbon airbox, carbon bodywork,GP screen, among others).

  • Bonamici Racing (rearset footpegs).

  • Brembo (brakes, of course).

  • K&N (air filter).

  • Motul (lubricants).

  • DID (chain and sprockets); among others.

The GSX-R1000 Ryuyo will officially debut at the EICMA 2018 show in Milan this November. More details will be available then.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 istimewa – Sumber imej: Suzuki Motorcycle Italia
  • Suzuki Motorcycle Italia telah memuatnaik satu gambar model GSX-R1000 yang istimewa.
  • ‘Hashtag’-nya itu tampak seperti mengandaikan yang ia akan membuat kemunculan sewaktu GP San Marino pada hujung minggu ini.
  • Kami berharap yang ianya adalah model homologasi bagi siri perlumbaan WSBK musim 2019.

  • Suzuki Motorcycle Italia posted a picture of a “special” GSX-R1000.

  • The hashtags seemed to suggest it will appear at the San Marino GP this weekend.

  • We hope it is a homologation model for WSBK in 2019.

Suzuki Italy had done a naughty thing by posting a picture of a special carbon-clad GSX-R1000 on their Facebook page along with #spotted #staytuned #motogp #2019 hastags. It’ll probably give Suzuki fans sleepless nights.

It seems to be a special edition Gixxer, by the looks of it since it is fitted with carbon-fibre fairing, lever guards and racing style windscreen. Plus, judging from the hashtags, it will probably break cover during this weekend’s San Marino MotoGP and is a 2019 model in accordance with the #2019 hashtag.

But of course, it may not be a high-volume production bike, instead it would very well be a limited production, high-end homologation model for the World Superbike Championship. Remember that WSBK is productions-based, hence manufacturers need to produce a certain number of homologation models in order to be eligible in the series. Being production based also means that the race bikes has to be as close to the bikes you and I can buy, so manufacturers build these special models with as close as they are to racing specs. Case in point: The 2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR with titanium connecting rods and finger follower valve actuation.

Other manufacturers have followed such path for example the Ducati 888 SPS, Ducati 916 SP/SPS, Ducati 1199 Panigale R, Yamaha YZF-R1M, Aprilia RSV4 APRC Factory, the aforementioned Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP2, and many more.

Let us hope that Suzuki does build this special model, instead of being a one-off for the San Marino GP and reclaim the World Superbike Championship title they won in 2005 with Troy Corser.

Stay tuned.

The endurance-ready Suzuki GSX-R1000 built by the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT) is a formidable race machine.
