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”.

This week

Really pleased with the Suzuki GSX8s that I've bought from Steve. Steve was great to deal with, friendly, knowledgeable and very thorough in explaining everything to me not only in regards to the features of the bike but also in the maintenance and servicing details etc. Based on my experience so far I would highly recommend Brisans to family and friends.

The day I walked into Brisan’s for a test ride on a new Suzuki V-Strom 1050 de, I felt welcomed. There was no pressure to buy, they were opened to questions and gave you the time and space to make a decision. From the day I decided to the day I was riding out was about a week. Before you ride off they will run you over the bikes systems and features if you need. With the up grades from my 2013 model, it was good to over them again. Thanks Steve
