The new Suzuki GSX-R1000 concept model took centre stage at this year’s MCN London Motorcycle Show, which took place at the ExCeL centre from 12-14 February.

First unveiled last year at EICMA in Milan, the new GSX-R1000 is all-new. Using technology taken directly from Suzuki’s GSX-RR MotoGP machine, a new engine features variable valve timing, while the new GSX-R also benefits from ABS, traction control, quickshifter, launch control, and multiple power modes. Showa Balance Free suspension is fitted to a new, lightweight frame.

Also unveiled in Milan and on display at the London Motorcycle Show was the new SV650, which is lighter and more powerful than Suzuki’s previous offering in the mid-capacity naked market. The new SV is sportier with sharper steering and a punchy, V-twin engine packed with character.

The new VanVan 200 also featured on Suzuki’s stand.

The full stable of GSX-R machinery for 2016 was displayed in a mixture of the MotoGP livery and the commemorative 30th anniversary paint scheme, plus the original GSX-R750F that was restored over the course of Motorcycle Live was also displayed. Other models on display from Suzuki’s 2016 model range included the GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000F, GSR750, V-Strom 1000 and V-Strom 650XT, Burgman 650 Executive, Hayabusa, Address 110, Inazuma 250F, and the Intruder M1800RBZ.

The Team Classic Suzuki XR69, which is sponsored by Suzuki GB’s Vintage Parts Programme and will be raced by both Michael Dunlop and Lee Johnston at this year’s Classic TT on the Isle of Man, was also featured on the Suzuki stand for the duration of the show.
