The R model isn't available in Australia till October...

Australia seems to be the last place in the World to get the new models.

Heaps of people in the UK, Europe, and the US, have their R model's now...

I wouldn't buy one straight away, as soon as, there available in October, as being a 100% new model, you'd be paying top dollar for the privilege... Especially with the crazy $27490 ride away price...


I went to the Melbourne, Suzuki New 2017 Model launch at the Olsen Hotel last Thursday (06/07/17) night, the first time I've seen it up close, and could sit on the bike's etc...

The bike is Tiny!!!...... Felt like I was sitting on a 600, not a 1000...

The tail section/fairing, would be approx two third's smaller than my 2002 GSX-R1000 K2...

The tank is a lot narrower, the whole bike is very small and compact... it's been packaged very well IMO...

With double win's in ASBK and Moto America SBK's last weekend, the all new GSX-R1000R is performing extremely well...

Here's a couple of pic's at the Olsen Hotel launch night, my Brother took, who came along with me to check it out, plus enjoy the free beers and food...

Yes, it's only the US Spec bikes that have the FBW throttle blade restriction, from all the info I have come across...
