YOSHIMURA RACE SHOP USA has unveiled a new limited-edition Suzuki GSX-R1000, based on everything the company's learned by competing in the AMA Superbike series.

Dubbed the GSX-R1000RR, the new machine features a plethora of Yoshimura's race bits, including: high-lift cams, a quick shifter, numerous suspension upgrades and a full titanium-carbon exhaust, to name just a few.

Last week Visordown broke the news to UK bikers about Buell's new controversial 1125RR racer, which has been entered in the AMA Superbike series, despite the fact that it's not on sale to the general public. Former AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin spoke out vehemently against the AMA's decision to let Buell's turnkey racer compete in the series, as the machine's not on sale to the general public.

No doubt many AMA licence holders will now be beating a path to their nearest Yoshimura dealers; Suzuki fans will be please to know the Suzuki GSX-R1000RR, unlike the Buell, should be street-legal and available to the public.
Suzuki have yet to announce details on price or availability.

Engine:
YRS ST-R Type R Cams (High Lift Longer Duration Cam Shafts)
YRS Hi Compression Head Gasket (Raised Compression to 13.8:1)
BMC Race Air Filter

I did see it. But! I'm happy they're doing it.

If one team can bend the rules, they all can.

Quite frankly Suzuki may be the only manufacturer that hasn't pulled this type of shenanigans in the past...

the rules state and have always stated that any bike raced in the super Bike class must be available for sale to the general public as a street bike in certain numbers (if I'm not mistaken).

Buell is campaigning a bike that is not available for sale to the general public and that is not street legal in the form that it is being raced.

In the past Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki (I believe) have produced "Homogenization specials'' that are only manufactured and sold in street form so they can be raced. In fact, technically since this bike isn't being manufactured by Suzuki, they are still clean in my book.
