Celebrating 25 Years Of A Legend
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the groundbreaking GSX-R range first bursting onto the world scene, a special edition model of the class-defining GSX-R1000 superbike is now available.
The GSX-R1000 is the ultimate fusion of performance and design and the 25th Anniversary Edition model encapsulates this with exclusive graphics and colours.
Complimenting the GSX-R1000’s smooth looks are unique 25th anniversary GSX-R logos on the bodywork, and intricate laser-processed “25th Anniversary Edition” pinstripes on the rims of the front and rear wheels.
The left and right side mufflers also feature striking “25th Anniversary Edition” graphics.
With only 60 units available in Australia out of a limited 1000 models produced globally, the GSX-R1000 25th Anniversary Edition comes with its own individual serial number plate on the yoke and exclusive GSX-R ignition keys.
If it sounds good on paper, the GSX-R1000 feels even better on the road or track.
Ride it yourself and experience the sheer performance of the world's most successful open-class racing machine.
Features
- 999cm3 4-cylinder powerplant, designed 59.6mm lighter and shorter from front to rear, delivers more power and torque and enhanced throttle response across the entire rpm range.
- The new compact engine enabled 10mm shorter wheelbase and 33mm longer swing-arm to improve racetrack performance.
- New, more over-square bore x stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm (changed from 73.4mm x 59.0mm) gives the engine better overall tuning potential. The compression ratio is now 12.8:1, changed from 12.5:1.
- The engine employs enlarged titanium valves in diameter, forged pistons, shot-peened conrods and Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the crankcase, reducing friction and improving heat transfer, durability and ring seal.
- 12-hole fuel injectors produce a finer fuel mist for more complete combustion, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
- Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of three performance settings to suit riding conditions and personal tastes. Now the switch is relocated on the left handlebar control module.
- Iridium spark plugs produce a stronger spark for better combustion.
- Large, efficient radiator with a trapezoidal shape developed on factory team racebikes and a trapezoidal engine oil cooler both help reduce drag.
- Cable-operated back-torque-limiting clutch makes for efficient clutch operation with superb feel.
- Unique Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) uses an under-engine chamber and low-slung, large-volume MotoGP-inspired titanium mufflers.
- Twin-spar cradle frame made of five cast sections, mated with an arched swing-arm made of three castings and one-piece die-cast rear sub-frame.
- Big Piston Frontforks (BPF) with an endurance-race-proven design deliver superb feedback and responsive, stable operation, and are lightweight.
- Rear shock absorber features adjustable rebound damping, spring preload, and both high-speed and low-speed compression damping.
- Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and rigid, lightweight race-proven monoblock forged radial-mount calipers.
- The edgy and clean GSX-R1000 styling incorporates fairing and bodywork details aimed at reducing turbulence and drag.
- Attention to rider comfort includes a carefully shaped seat and adjustable footpegs. Tail section cover included for solo rides or track days.
- Sculpted fuel tank is lighter, while capacity remains 17.5 litres.
- New look multi-reflector headlight with vertically stacked high and low-beam halogen bulbs centered between position lights on each side.
- For Europe, the position lights each have layered lenses with blue coloring on the inside lens for an even sportier look.
- Front and rear turn signals feature clear lenses over amber bulbs.
- Instruments include a silver-ringed analog tachometer with LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include odometer, dual trip meters, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure warning indicator, gear position indicator, lap timer/stopwatch, S-DMS setting indicator and bar-graph indicating the instrument lighting level or brightness.
