The Suzuki GSX-R models are synonymous with performance, reliability, and pure riding fun. Performance that has led to countless victories in production-based superbike, superstock and endurance races worldwide.

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R family and it has been close to a quarter of a century since the GSX-R1000 debuted, changing the sportbike class forever.

The 2027 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine is updated and continues to deliver class-leading power smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original 2001 GSX-R1000, the 2027’s compact chassis delivers nimble handling with excellent suspension feel and braking control, ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control, launch control, and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork in special anniversary colors and graphics, slice effortlessly through the wind.

Equipped with a Showa® Big-piston Fork plus Brembo® T-drive rotors and Monobloc brake calipers the GSX-R1000 is ready for a ride through the twisties, on the street or through chicanes on a track day. And that is the point, as the GSX-R1000 is poised to Own the Racetrack, imagine how it performs on the street.
