Powerbands: What Gear And What Rpm Range - Riding Skill Series
Suzuki's GSX-R1000 produces all the power you can use and more. Only when you ride it side by side with a five-year-old version is it apparent that the midrange has softened some in its quest for nearly 160 horsepower. The torque curve climbs sharply between 7000 and 8000 rpm, leaving the rear tire begging for mercy from there to past 13,000 rpm. You nearly always have a choice of two gears with Big Blue; do you want it arm-straighteningly hard or impossibly harder? First gear alone takes you to nearly 100 mph. View Related Article
