Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Suzuki's iconic GSX-R Superbike is dominating the new-look British Superbike Championship, with no less than three now filling the top six slots in the showdown phase of the coveted series. With current championship leader Tommy Hill the first to be confirmed for the showdown phase on his Worx Suzuki GSX-R1000, Relentless Suzuki by TAS racer Michael Laverty quickly joined the elite pack before teammate Alastair Seeley topped off the Japanese manufacturer's dream team.

Suzuki unveiled three brand new models today at the Intermot Motorcycle Show in Cologne, Germany, with the iconic GSX-R range getting all-new 600 and 750 models, along with the debut of a new naked middleweight - the GSR750. Unveiled on the Suzuki exhibition stand at 9.00am local time, the new GSX-R600 boasts heightened performance levels thanks to MotoGP inspired development that has seen the new bike shed an impressive nine kilograms over its predecessor, thanks partly to an all-new chassis that has a 15mm shorter wheelbase, as well as Showa Big Piston Forks.
