Suzuki has confirmed that the GSX-R1000R 40th Anniversary Edition will come with an OTR price of £17,599 when it arrives in the spring of 2026.
Announced earlier in 2025 – the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R range – the new GSX-R1000R gets an updated engine, with modifications that include a new crankshaft, crankcases, pistons, connecting rods, and a higher compression ratio. The MotoGP-derived variable valve timing system remains.
There’s also a new exhaust, an updated suite of electronics, and winglets that increase downforce at higher speeds. The changes mean the new engine meets Euro5+ emissions standards and boasts a higher performance ceiling, too.
An electronics package comprises an IMU-governed traction control and roll torque control system and ABS system. There’s launch control, a bi-directional quickshifter, and selectable power modes.
The new GSX-R1000R will be on display at MCL 2025, which gets underway tomorrow, Saturday 15 November, at the NEC in Birmingham. It will bookend a special display of GSX-R machinery, with a 1985 GSX-R750F at the other end. Bikes in the middle will include a GSX-R750 SRAD and the revered GSX-R1000 K5.
Also on display will be the GSX-R1000R endurance racer from Yoshimura SERT, the team that won the 2024 Endurance World Championship – making it 15 world titles for the GSX-R1000 – and this year’s Bol d’Or.
The GSX-R1000R 40th Anniversary Edition and special GSX-R anniversary display will be on the Suzuki stand at MCL, stand 3D25 in hall 3A.
