Not quite the “Top Performer”, Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 motorcycle is recalled. Don’t be misguided again!
According to Suzuki's Official website, "At Suzuki, we want every ride to be safe and enjoyable. The key is the motorcycle's (GSX-R 1000) ability to do precisely what the rider wants, when the rider wants, how the rider wants. ... It's called Total Performance.... and is what makes the Suzuki GSX-R1000 the Top Performer".
It appears Suzuki has missed their goal on this one.
Suzuki's recall states the problem with the bike (a defective frame cracking causing the front wheel to fall off) only occurs under extreme conditions when extreme pressure is put on the front wheel, such as in collisions or doing wheelies. Suzuki feels this type of driving is "reckless" and does not condone it.
It would make sense to me, a motorcycle accident injury lawyer for 37 years, that wheelies must certainly be included in the motorcycle's description of "Total Performance" and the "Top Performer" and is what riders were looking to be between their legs when they purchased it; a "Top Performer", not a delicate, whimpy trike. Bikes should be designed to be ridden lawfully, and be constructed without defect allowing the rider to go over pot holes and pop a wheelie safely.
I urge any rider that has been injured due to the defective construction of this bike, to consult a lawyer immediately. Even though Suzuki's wording in the recall notice states that they are not responsible, the law states differently, don't be misguided by Suzuki again.
