Following the launch of the new GSX-R1000 bike earlier this year, motorcycle firm Suzuki has unveiled a range of accessories to complement its flagship model.

The company claims it carefully analysed the buying habits of GSX-R owners, who could include bike insurance customers, before creating the eight items designed to improve the riding experience and overall look of the machine.

Riders can customise their bike with the pack's Double Bubble Tinted Windshield to create a sleeker, more aerodynamic style, while the tough Carbon Headlamp Trim will protect from scratches, dents and chips.

To help GSX-R owners achieve a consistent look, carbon-look meter surrounds, fuel tank cap trim, seat cowl and tank protectors are also included.

Lightweight carbon heel guard trims, meanwhile, backed with adhesive for easy installation will add to the custom feel.

With a recommended retail price of £215, the pack represents a saving of more than £50 when compared to the cumulative cost of the individual items, says Suzuki.

Commenting on the GSX-R1000's launch earlier this year motorcycle news site Londonbikers.com said it "raises the bar once more in the hotly-contested Supersport class".
