05 GSX-R1000 revealed
Suzuki will launch an updated and even more powerful version of its GSX-R1000 for 2005 complete with MotoGP inspired dimensions and a radical snout designed to scoop in more air.
Its weight is being cut to below that of the 170kg Kawasaki ZX-10R and its power is boosted to a tyre-shredding 175bhp at the crank (around 155bhp at the rear wheel) – according to MCN’s sources. The full story is in MCN, out on Wednesday July 7.
Revised engine internals and a changed exhaust account for the boost in power.
Its dimensions are based on those of Suzuki’s GSV-R MotoGP bike, which means it’s likely to be even sharper-steering than the current cutting-edge bike.
The bike is due to make its public debut in September.

God I hope not. And I thought that they would come back with more than 155 at the wheel. If thats really a picture of it, they are loosing their mind.

2005 GSX R-1000

If the frame goes around the engine and the gas tank remains as large as a pizza box the R1 will still be the queen liter bike. My hope is that Yamaha releases a longer stroke "street" version for those of us that haven't yet acquired a 2004 on account of its weakend low end of recent. I was very happy with my 2002 but hated with passion its fatness and most of all the gen and trigger hanging off the end of the crank. For an in-line 4 that is unacceptable.

uh, that front end looks like its a bottom feeder.

I hope that's not anything close to true! My God what an eye sore that picture is!

Besides the "catfish" looking shape, when is Suzuki gonna get rid of those "Little Mermaid" graphics? This is a 2k5 bike and it still has graphics from the previous century!

The silver and red R1s are nearly monochrome.
The ZX-10 is nearly monochrome.
The black CBR1000RR is nearly monochrome.

Get with the program, Suzuki! The majority of people who can afford literbikes don't care for "Disney-barf" paint jobs!
