Suzuki adds new bikes GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000 with new colors in 2025 and plans to keep the top rung of its sportbike lineup unaltered in 2025. The GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000 will remain unmodified from the previous year. As of the time this article was written, these machines have been stable for seven years; the most recent significant repair was performed in 2017. Eight years had passed between significant revisions before then, so perhaps the 2026 version will see some mechanical love.
On the positive side of things, the riders found that Suzuki still has a powerful combination of motorbikes that are adaptable, simple to operate, quick, and powerful during our most recent ride of the GSX-R1000R.
The 999cc DOHC inline-four engine with Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing powered each superbike. By our inquiries, the engine has a lot of personality, plenty of pull within the rpm band, and an individual sound. The MotoGP-derived IMU and engine control module of the bike are accessed by the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector system, which allows riders to easily customize the type of power output. Bidirectional quick shifters, Motion Track ABS, and traction are technologies found on both machines.
With aluminum twin-spar frame that makes up the chassis was also designed via input from the brand’s MotoGP understanding. The higher-spec Showa suspension package, which includes a fully adjustable BFF fork and BFRC-lite shock, is fitted to the GSX-R1000R. Showa’s BPF fork and a remote reservoir shock are included with the GSX-R1000. Both vehicles have a Nissin brake package up front and a Brembo brake kit up back.
These are both reliable and affordable literbikes, despite their lack of certain features, especially in the electronics section, that are present in their rivals. Riders interested in the 2025 GSX-R1000R will have a choice between two color schemes: Metallic Matte Sword Silver, which has black wheels and blue graphics, and Candy Daring Red and Glass Black, which includes red wheels and gold-anodized suspension components. The GSX-R1000 will be available in Metallic Matte Sword Silver or Candy Daring Red. Starting prices for the GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000 are $18,649 and $16,499, respectively.
