Suzuki has released official sketches of a pair of new models for 2011, including the latest upgrades on the popular GSX-R600 and 750 range, as well as an all-new GSR750 nakedbike.

The new GSX-R600 and 750 will be unveiled at Intermot in Cologne, Germany, on 5 October, although technical information remains scarce at this point in the lead-up to the models’ launch date.

Again for 2011 the bikes will retain underslung exhaust systems and it looks as though they have taken styling ques from the GSX-R1000, while a pair of vertically-stacked ram-air intakes feature on each side of the bike’s front fairing region.

A number of engine performance upgrades and chassis developments are also expected on the new models, however remain unconfirmed by Suzuki at this point.

While the excitement builds for the latest GSX-Rs, Suzuki has uncovered the first glimpse of its GSR750, which is believed to utilise an engine based on the inline four-cylinder motor that’s featured in the GSX-R750.

The model will mark a direct competitor for the Yamaha FZ8 and Kawasaki’s Z750R, although the vital technical information or availability is yet to be revealed by Suzuki.

Judging by the sketch’s sharp styling, we are expecting the engine to focus on torque and mid-range, as with most grunty nakeds.

Expect more details from Intermot in Germany on 5 October.
