2012 Japanese Superbike Shootout - Video |
|
Apr 09, 2012 - 1:36 PM - by Admin
|
It has been a couple years since we last did a Japanese literbike shootout, because, frankly, the field has been quite stagnant for a while (save for Kawasaki's total revamp of the ZX-10R last year). It took them another year, but Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha have all tweaked their respective contenders for 2012 - the CBR1000RR, GSX-R1000 and YZF-R1, have significant changes, while Kawasaki returns for 2012 with the same traction-control-equipped machine it introduced last year, confident of its chances.
Having ridden all of the players at their respective intros, we knew it was time to once again pit them against one another for Japanese literbike supremacy. Read the respective stories for details on the upgrades, because here we're evaluating how they compare to one another. With the CBR's improved suspension, the GSX-R's re-worked engine and upgraded brakes, and the addition of traction control to the YZF-R1, the ZX-10R has some stiff competition this year.
If hype is all that's needed to win shootout... [Read More]

Enthusiasts View of the 2012 GSXR 1000 |

Feb 10, 2012 - 9:08 PM - by Moto_Joe

As I approach the line of bikes in the garages ahead of me, I am taken aback by the fact that I; a club racer, enthusiast, and forum administrator have been invited to take part in the 2012 media release event at Homestead Miami Speedway representing www.Gixxer.com. The lineup of bikes in front of me is nothing short of amazing.
You see, I am not a journalist, not at this point at least, but here I am looking at a row of around a dozen brand new, fresh out of the crate 2012 GSXR 1000s, wearing the latest race rubber from Bridgestone. The bikes are set up and ready to go for some of the nation’s most well-known moto-journalists. I am here to test ride the 5th generation of the bike that has won 37 national titles in the last ten years. That is quite a pedigree, and I am honored to be here.
Looking at the bike, a casual observer would think it has received nothing more than the all too familiar “BNG” treatment, and little else. But upon further inspection there is much more new on the bike than just some fancy new graphics.
Aesthetically the bodywork is essentially the same. There are some new graphics for the bike, as is standard... [Read More]

2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Review |
|
Feb 09, 2012 - 4:45 PM - by Admin

There's a reason why national superbike grids around the world are stacked with Suzuki GSX-R1000s. With 37 championships in the past 10 years, the pedigree and performance potential of the venerable Gixxer speaks for itself. Making up at least 45% of the AMA Superbike field since 2009, the GSX-R has a reputation for winning. Of course, just when you think it can't get any better, it always does. Introducing the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000.
At first glance, the new GSX-R looks pretty similar to the outgoing model. It still has a funky trapezoidal headlight, familiar lines and the distinctive blue and white color scheme. According to Suzuki, the 2012 model is a "refined version of the fifth generation." Perhaps the first thing visually different is the single exhaust that replaces the twin exhaust setup of the 2011 version. Another visually obvious change is a switch to Brembo monobloc calipers (in gold to separate them from its silver 600/750 brethren) and red pinstriping around each wheel.
