Suzuki unveils three new 2011 models - GSXR 600, GSXR 750 & GSR750

Suzuki Motor Corporation unveiled three new motorcycle models for 2011 at the Intermot motorcycle, scooter, and bicycle fair, in Cologne, Germany, in October. Suzuki says that these bikes will offer improved performance and a 10% improvement in fuel economy. 

GSR750: Suzuki's new naked 

Moving up from the earlier GSR600 the GSR750 is definitely a great looker with edgy, futuristic styling. Although we haven't got a chance to get on it yet ;),  the GSR750's naked street bike stance coupled with what we're assuming is the detuned/retuned 750cc mill from the fantastic GSXR750 sport bike, we expect this urban rider to be a blast to ride... Suzuki says informs us that the motor will come equipped with atomizing injectors and other cutting-edge technologies that make it at least 10%* more fuel-efficient than the 2010 GSR600 and realize smooth, strong torque delivery in the low-to-mid rpm range. Plus, it has inverted front forks, a multi-function instrument cluster, a uniquely shaped headlight, and a triangle-shaped muffler that combine radical looks with great functionality.

The pursuit of (lightness and efficiency =) rider happiness

2011 GSX-R750:

This mid-size moto has been our all time favorite, always providing the best of the 600 and the liter engines. Imagine what a blast this ones going to be, with the compactness of a 600 and shedding around 18 lbs/ 8kg compared to its predecessor. The GSXR750 comes with a newly designed frame, a Big Piston Front-fork, and Brembo monoblock front brake calipers. Again the engine is supposed to be 10%* more fuel-efficient than that of the outgoing 2010 GSX-R750 thanks to cutting-edge design techniques that yielded lower mechanical losses. 

GSX-R600:

For what was an already light motorcycle the 2011 Gixxer 600 comes with a fantastic 20lbs / 9kg reduction in weight. It gets a newly designed frame, a Big Piston Front-fork, and Brembo monoblock front brake calipers. The redesigned engine lowers mechanical losses and a higher power output at high engine speeds, with improved torque in the low-to-mid rpm range. These engine improvements are complemented by revised transmission gear ratios, resulting in better acceleration and an improvement of at least 10%* in fuel economy over the 2010 model.
