The GSX-R1000 generation debuted as the K5 variant in the year 2005 with all new styling, redesigned chassis and engine.

The bike is equipped with liquid cooled 999cc, inline four-cylinder engine that churns out peak power of 188 PS, that is delivered to the rear wheels via 6-speed gearbox with slip clutch assist.

Since the current model of Suzuki Gixxer lags behind from rivals like Yamaha and Kawasaki, the upcoming model is expected to flare this time in terms of performance, hardware and electronic brilliance.
