The Suzuki GSX-R4 concept is designed purely for open
air fun.
The GSX-R4 is powered by a 1.3 litre 4 cylinder engine
as used in the Suzuki Hayabusa. 175 bhp is run through
a six-speed sequential gearbox and with a weight of just
640 kgs the GSX-R4 has a power to weight ratio to rival
the Porsche 911 Turbo.
To keep the weight down the GSX-R4 uses an aluminium chassis
and minimal bodywork.
The use of motorbike derived technology is advertised
by the use of visible horizontal shock absorbers and functional,
machined details.
Occupants of the GSX-R4 are protected from the elements
by two small bubble windscreens acting as wind deflectors.
The interior is fitted with with two lightweight bucket
seats providing plenty of lateral support for fast corners.
Storage space is offered behind the seats for helmets.
Unfortunately the GSX-R4 was only displayed as a model
in 2001, however renewed interest late in 2005 means Suzuki
has not forgotten the concept.
