The 2019 GSX-R 1000 shares its Transverse engine and Sport style configuration with the likes of the 2020 Norton Superlight SS and the 2019 Norton Superlight Twin. Alternatively, if you're looking for other bikes which share the GSX-R 1000's Sport style with a similar size of engine then how about the 2020 Norton Superlight SS | 2020cc.2019 Norton Superlight Twin | 2019cc.

Power and Torque:

Weighing in at 203 kgs (447 lbs) this makes the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 R in the same weight category as the 2025 Honda X-ADV 745 or the 2025 Yamaha Ténéré 700 Rally, give or take 50kg.

The 2019 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 shares the same bhp with the Norton V4SV 1200 One of One - [2024]

In terms of power the 999cc 16 valve Transverse 4 cylinder engine produces 199.2 bhp (148 kW) @ 13200 rpm similar to the 2024 Norton V4SV 1200 One of One [185 bhp (137 kW) @ 12500 rpm] or the 2024 Norton V4CR 1200 Cafe Racer 125th Anniversary [185 bhp (137 kW) @ 12500 rpm].

The DOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 86.6 lb-ft (117.5 Nm) @ 10800 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2025 Kawasaki Z 900 DOHC SE [73.0 lb-ft (99.1 Nm) @ 7700 rpm] and the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT [68.5 lb-ft (93.0 Nm) @ 7000 rpm].

Power to Weight:

The 2017 Norton V4 SS 1200 has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the 2019 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 R.

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 2023 Norton V4CR 1200 Cafe Racer [451.4 lb-ft per ton] and the 2024 Norton V4CR 1200 Cafe Racer 125th Anniversary [451.4 lb-ft per ton].
