The 2025 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine provides class-leading power delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original 2001 GSX-R1000, the 2025’s compact chassis delivers nimble handling with excellent suspension feel and braking control, ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork slices through the wind.

Equipped with a Showa Big-piston Fork plus Brembo T-drive rotors and Monobloc brake calipers the GSX-R1000 is ready for a ride through the twisties, on the street or through chicanes on a track day. And that is the point, as the GSX-R1000 is poised to Own the Racetrack, imagine how it performs on the street.

ENGINE FEATURES

The compact 999cc, DOHC, inline-four engine produces great top-end power with a strong low- to mid-range pull thanks to the exclusive Suzuki Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system and the highly efficient 4-2-1 stainless-steel exhaust system.

The Suzuki Racing Finger Follower valve train weighs less than a tappet-style valve train reducing friction and increasing valve response at higher engine speeds.

The EFI system uses Suzuki’s Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle Bodies, where the throttle valves are controlled by a servo motor for fast response to a rider’s throttle input while delivering precise and smooth power.

A pair of Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) air intake ducts exponentially increase the volumetric air flow amount entering the airbox as road speed increases.

TRANSMISSION FEATURES

The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) multi-plate, wet clutch functions like a slipper clutch during downshifts while increasing plate pressure during acceleration. This smooths engine braking and lightens the clutch lever pull.

The standard Bi-directional Quick Shift System enables smooth, clutchless upshifts and downshifts of the cassette-style, six-speed transmission.

Based on Suzuki’s race-proven close-ratio transmissions, the GSX-R1000 employs vertically staggered shafts to reduce overall engine length.

A programmable shift light on the main panel provides a visual alert to the rider to shift when a certain engine rpm is reached.

CHASSIS FEATURES

Light and compact, the twin-spar aluminum and arched swingarm hold a Showa Big Piston fork and rear suspension that deliver extraordinary handling while the pitch-sensitive, ABS** system monitors the Brembo four-piston, front brake calipers.

Racetrack-developed links connect the single Showa  Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber to the braced swingarm. With spring preload, rebound damping, plus high- and low-speed compression damping force adjustment, the rider can tune the motorcycle to respond to riding style and weight.

The GSX-R1000 has a pair of Brembo Monobloc brake calipers radially mounted to the front fork’s axle holders.

The GSX-R1000 comes with track day-ready Bridgestone  Racing Street RS11 low-mass tires. The tires’ tread pattern reduces wear and maximizing sport riding performance and contact feel.

ELECTRICAL FEATURES

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) provides six-direction, three-axis, motion, and position information to the Engine Control Module (ECM) so instantaneous electronic adjustments are made to the Traction Control* and the pitch-sensitive Motion Track Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)**

The three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system lets the rider select the engine’s power delivery characteristic to match riding ability and conditions.

The exclusive ten-mode Motion Track Traction Control System (MT-TCS)*, with IMU influence, increases rider confidence by allowing adjustments to the amount of intervention to match riding ability and surface conditions.

Exclusive to Suzuki, the Motion Track Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** brings additional performance to anti-lock braking. Like a conventional ABS system, the Motion Track Brake System helps provide the appropriate amount of braking force for the available traction. When the IMU detects the rear wheel lift, the ABS control module will adjust the front brake pressure to reduce the rear wheel lift.

BODY & STYLING FEATURES

The 2025 GSX-R1000 aerodynamic bodywork is coated in a new Candy Daring Red and Glass Sparkle Black with dark red wheels, or a Mechanical Matte Sword Silver with new, bright blue graphics on the fairing and on the black wheels.

Behind the front fairing’s stacked LED headlights and Suzuki Ram Air Direct ducts is a reasonable sport riding position created from a carefully crafted relationship between the clip-ons, footrests, and a low seat height of just 32.48 inches (825 mm).

The aerodynamic bodywork was created by Suzuki styling designers and engineers using wind tunnel testing to achieve a slippery shape and compelling appearance. Narrower than ever, the GSX-R1000’s shape directly aids performance by improving handling and top speed on the racetrack.

The passenger seat can be removed and replaced with an optional color-matched solo tail cowl (available from authorized Suzuki dealers).

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The passenger seat can be replaced with an optional color-matched solo tail cowl (available from authorized Suzuki dealers). See authorized Suzuki dealers for the wide range of Suzuki Genuine Accessories that are available for the GSX-R. The GSX-R1000 has a twelve-month unlimited mileage limited warranty, and longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).
