Suzuki has announced pricing and availability for the soon to be launched 2012 GSX-R1000 at £10,999.

With the new GSX-R1000 set for UK customer launch on Saturday 11th February, UK dealers are already taking deposits for the flagship GSX-R that has had major revisions for 2012, offering heightened performance and a reduction in weight to make it the best GSX-R1000 to date.

Suzuki GB's Paul de Lusignan announced the pricing, commenting, "With UK dealers set to showcase the new GSX-R1000 nationwide on 11th February, we're delighted to announce the recommended retail price too. Despite the new GSX-R1000 being subject to considerable technical enhancements and with an impressive specification that includes Brembo Monobloc calipers and Showa Big Piston Forks, we're pleased to bring this model to the UK at such a competitive price."
