Motorcycles with the GSX designation are models under the Suzuki motorcycle brand. Here are the details: GSX1000: Commonly known as the Big R, it has a displacement of 998.6cc, with a compression ratio increased from 12.0:1 to 12.5:1 to enhance combustion power. The cylinder bore is increased from 73.0mm to 73.4mm, while the 59mm stroke remains unchanged. Suzuki GSX-1300R: Also known as the Suzuki Hayabusa, model code GSX-1300R, engine type 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, water-cooled DOHC, total displacement 1340cc, maximum horsepower 198ps/NA, bore × stroke 81.0mm × 65.0mm, drag coefficient less than 0.270CdA, compression ratio 11.0:1. 3. GSX1400: Engine type oil-cooled 4-stroke DOHC-16V inline 4-cylinder, bore/stroke 81.0mm × 68.0mm, displacement 1401cc, fuel system EFI electronic fuel injection SDTV dual intake valves, maximum horsepower 100ps/6,500rpm, maximum torque 12.8kg-m/5,000rpm.
The GSX is a classic series from Suzuki motorcycles, and as a veteran rider, I have deep affection for it. The first GSX-R750 was launched in 1985, setting the standard for modern sport motorcycles at the time, with its lightweight frame and powerful engine making riding feel like flying. I still collect models from the 90s and use them on the track—acceleration is fierce but handling is balanced, though beginners need to adapt carefully. Suzuki as a brand is reliable overall, with the GSX series including high-performance GSX-R models and street-oriented GSX-S models, catering to different riders. For maintenance, regular oil changes and brake pad checks are crucial, otherwise the chain wears out quickly. The price is reasonable compared to peers, and it holds value well in the used market, making it a great cost-performance companion. Riding it to explore mountain roads feels endlessly freeing, and every memory still gets my blood pumping.
