Suzuki will launch a significantly updated version of its supersport GSX-R1000R in Japan on July 17. Pricing is ¥2.36 million including tax. The update boosts high-rpm power delivery and durability while meeting European-equivalent emissions and noise regulations, and adopts S.I.R.S electronic controls and an ELIIY-made lithium-ion battery. The Japan-spec model comes with ETC2.0 as standard.

The GSX-R name doesn't lie on track. Hearing they refined the power delivery in the high-rev range immediately brings corner-exit acceleration to mind for me. Building this level of substance in while still clearing regulations isn't easy these days. ¥2,360,000, launching July 17th — this is a bike built to actually be ridden hard.

The GSX-R sure has staying power - hope it keeps going strong like the Hayabusa.

For the same money, wouldn't you rather go for an R1 or a Panigale?

Standard ETC2.0 is nice, but it's a rounding error next to a 2.36 million yen price tag.

2.36 million yen... hope regs compliance didn't defang the top-end punch.

Boosting high-rev power while still clearing Euro-equivalent regs - how'd they pull that off?
