The new 2019 Suzuki GSX-RR will continue to show off its vibrant blue color. Of course, it must’ve gone through a few changes in the garage to make it that much more capable and better for the 2019 MotoGP season.
The bike’s 1000cc engine is tuned to produces a whopping 240PS of power which gives it a top speed of 340km/h. The carbon disc brakes are made by Brembo. The suspension is from Ohlins. The bike is 2,096mm long, 1,140mm tall, 720mm wide, and weighs a mere 157kg. Now you can do the math to imagine the sheer acceleration of this brutal machine.
