GSX-R1000R 40th Anniversary 2026

Celebrate Suzuki History

The GSX-R1000 is synonymous with performance, reliability and pure riding fun. Performance that has led to countless victories in production-based superbike, superstock and endurance races worldwide. That includes no fewer than 15 FIM Endurance World Championship titles since the model’s release in 2001.

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. In keeping ahead of the times and the rest of the pack, updates to the 40th Anniversary GSX-R1000 include those to comply with the latest emissions and noise regulations while maintaining the winning potential for which the GSX-R1000 is famed.

The heart of a race winner continues to beat in every GSX-R1000, with each beat delivering an invitation to ride the machine that is “Designed to Perform, Built to Thrill”.

Jarred was honest and upfront from the beginning with bike availability. He and Miles were dealing quite well with being flat out, and the satchel came in especially useful on the wet afternoon of pickup. Great to be back on a DRZ
