Suzuki pulled the wraps off its 2017 GSX-R1000 this past week, but opted out of going into too much detail regarding the technical updates. What we know is that the bike will have variable valve timing, an updated electronics rider aid system with ten-level traction control, quick shifter, and launch control, as well as the latest suspension from Showa.
Nearly everything else about the bike remains largely unknown, which basically means that at this point all we can really do is sit back and appreciate the bike's more outwardly apparent changes (read: slimmer, more aerodynamic bodywork). And take photos. Lots of photos.
Which we've done this week at the 2015 EICMA show, where the new bike was put under the spotlight and chaperoned by Suzuki-clad models. Check out some up-close-and-personal photos that we've grabbed in the gallery above.
