Suzuki GSX-R: A Legacy of Performance

Author: Marc Cook

Foreword: Foreword by Kevin Schwantz

The Suzuki GSX-R series is synonymous with performance and has become one of the most evocative marques in motorcycling. This book explores the original GSX-R750 concept, its competition successes, and how its eye-opening performance, light weight, and charismatic personality established the race-replica market segment that Suzuki continues to define. Each generation of the GSX-R family is explored through interviews with Suzuki engineers and designers.

Readers will be taken inside the off-limits Ryuyo R & D center and test track, site of all the engineering and development of the GSX-R models, followed by a virtual factory tour showing a GSX-R being built step by step through the assembly process.
