2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Review - First Ride!
Coming to you live from the U.S. press launch of the 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, CA!
In many ways you can call the Gixxer Thou "all-new." The venerable AMA Superbike multi-time championship-winning machine has received numerous updates to the engine, chassis, brakes, bodywork, etc, etc.
The new mill has revised cases, now two-piece instead of three from '08; bore and stroke is now more oversquare (74.5 x 57.3mm from 73.4 x 59.0mm) for higher-revving performance and is joined by bigger pistons; the cylinder head is new and joined by larger Ti valves and new and improved camshafts; the pistons are now larger; new crankshaft has new crankshaft-end oiling system; airbox is new. This is just a smattering of the many changes to the new and very powerful liter engine.

Actually no it cant. Thats a Kryptonite chain and anchor system. you would need an angle grinder to cut through that. It was profiled in Maxim magazine. Plus its only about 15 feet from my bedroom window, well within my shotguns range
I am getting lo-jack on it on Monday. Its the kind that notifies you if it starts to move. The other strap is just a tie down. My old bike got blown over in a windstorm and messed it all up so ever since then I used that.
Did I mention its parked accross the street from a police car?
I'm hopeful a member of the Committee will be able to make an announcement in the coming weeks about registration pricing for this event. unk

When all is said and done, though, the sad reality is that if someone really wants your bike, they'll find a way to get it, esp. in today's tough economic times. Don't mean to make you paranoid but that's just the way things are...
Nice, how much did you get it for up there in MD if you dont mind me asking.
o yeah... you should run the chain through the frame instead of the just the rim. Im sure people would just take the wheel right off and run with the majority of the bike.
