The new 2008 Suzuki GSX-R gets a new look with more effective aerodynamics and a new fairing with three horizontally mounted halogen headlights. Main beam uses all three lights, with a 'position lamp' above the main headlight to keep the traditional vertically stacked look of the Suzuki GSX-R. There is a larger 17.5-litre tank to provide fuel for the 13,750rpm redline engine, which features three engine maps selectable on-the-fly. It has a new Suzuki fuel injection system, and is housed in an aluminium-alloy frame, with a new rear sub-frame, which saves 125 grams. There are fully adjustable Showa forks and rear shock, 14-position adjustable foot pegs, an electronic steering damper that reacts to the speed of the motorcycle, and a seat height of 810mm.
The lighter alloy wheels are the same dimensions as the previous Suzuki, but save 430 grams between them. The front brakes are dual radial-mount opposed Tokico front callipers with 310mm discs. The single-piston rear Tokico calliper works with a 220mm disc.

Features

Compact fuel injection system features the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV) - Idle Speed Control (ISC) system for improved cold starting, consistent idle quality and reduced emissions
High volume Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES)
The mid-pipe includes a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) system for maximum torque throughout the rpm range and an oxygen sensor used by the engine management system and combined with the under-engine catalyser for reduced emissions
S-DMS (Suzuki-Drive Mode Selector) system allows the rider to choose from three engine settings to match track conditions with a handlebar-mounted switch
Electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
An easy-to-read instrument cluster includes a step motor controlled analogue tachometer, digital LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters, clock, convenient gear position sensor, rpm indicator light and a new LCD S-DMS mode indicator displaying which performance setting has been selected by the rider

Great job loopy but im confused about the [quote][16,000rpm redline engine/QUOTE]? I thought it was 13,750..
