SUZUKI GSX-R1000

Old faithful returns with a new jacket, starched braces and a spanking new motor. Still, the same old trusty, reliable bulletproof Bandit

In the six years since we first saw the B-King it has been the subject of heated discussion in Japan. Should it be dumbed down for mass market or a full-blown radical bike? Find out who won the argument…

With a tyre-shredding 194bhp on tap and a fully revised chassis the original Hypersports bike is refusing to grow old gracefully. Hold on tight, because the 'Busa is back and is meaner than ever...

The Suzuki is pulling an act. Like the harmless Milk snake of the Canadian bush which looks like a lethal coral snake, thus scaring away potential predators, so the GSX650F is pretending for all the world that it’s a slightly dumpy GSX-R. And it jolly nearly gets away with it.

More power, less weight, and all wrapped in a GSX-R1000 looky-likey form. The 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 K6 is bound to kick butt on-track - but can it deliver on the road?

I KNOW I’M NOT as young as I was. I run a ‘sensible’ car, my hair is starting to recede, and the passage of time seems to have been compressed somehow. But it really isn’t so long ago since the best sportsbikes were of 750cc capacity.

Whitham takes us by the hand and leads us through the streets of Huddersfield. Four battered middleweights, a bag of chips and a Fanta, please

TWO head to France to test out the Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000 K5 and Yamaha YZF-R1.

Why does Suzuki insist on giving its cruisers comedy names? That aside, the Intruder (stop laughing!) is a well-rounded 805cc cruiser

Suzuki's trusty Bandit has swollen in capacity for 2005, but is this enough to put the planet's longest-serving middleweight back in the frame?

Niall travels to Holland to injure himself on purpose aboard Suzuki's new, and very grunty, four-stroke motocrosser

Suzuki has cut to the chase and given us a road-oriented version of their wicked little DR-Z400. Good work!
