Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750 in 1985, and then created another milestone in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the lithe chassis of the GSX-R750 and a 988cc inline four-cylinder engine design that Suzuki is renowned for, liter-class Superbike performance became available to riders everywhere.

A proud member of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2024 GSX-R1000’s versatile engine provides class-leading power that is delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range. Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2024’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 Showa’s 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 though chicanes on a track day. A new Glass Matte Mechanical Gray paint scheme with contrasting dark red wheels and graphics joins the dark, stealthy Metallic Matte Black No. 2 and Glass Sparkle Black body treatment that uses a slash of blue on the body and wheels to further define the GSX-R’s race-ready appearance.

And that is the point, as each GSX-R1000 is poised to Own the Racetrack, imagine what they can accomplish on the street.
