Overview

The Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Commemorative Edition is a sportbike from the GSX-R family, produced from 2014 to 2016. The 2016 model has a 1,000 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four producing 185 hp (138 kW) at 11,500 rpm and 117 Nm at 10,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 203 kg.

Power arrives high in the rev range, so getting the strongest output means revving the engine; the back-torque-limiting clutch helps calm the rear wheel on hard downshifts. The 810 mm seat height places the rider high, while 203 kg wet is substantial to manage at walking pace. Its 17.5 L tank holds 1.5 L less fuel than the 2014 model, and the chain final drive needs cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Downshift control
The back-torque-limiting clutch helps keep the rear wheel calmer during hard downshifts.
Brembo front brakes
The twin 310 mm Brembo front discs provide braking at both front wheels' contact points.

Things to consider

High-revving power
Peak power arrives at 11,500 rpm, so accessing the strongest output requires revving the engine.
Reduced fuel capacity
The 17.5 L tank holds 1.5 L less than the 2014 model.
Chain maintenance
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
