2007 Suzuki GSXR1000.jpgMotorcyclist has the specs on the new GSXR and it is way more than just an update. Lots of changes- You can’t stay at the top of the food chain by being lax and complacent, but it is doubtful that any street rider can use even a fraction of what last years bike has let alone the new one. The adjustable footpegs will be nice feature for everyone- street and race. From Motorcyclist-
