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).

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. (** Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.)
• 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 Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from losing grip.) (** Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on 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. (* The Traction Control System is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Traction control cannot prevent the front wheel from losing grip)
• 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. (** Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.)
• The LCD multifunction instrument panel has an adjustable intensity, white color backlight for great nighttime visibility and is flanked by LED indicators that include the turn signals, high beam, traction control, and shift light, plus coolant temperature and oil pressure alerts.
• The turn signals are lightweight and use incandescent bulbs withamber lenses, so the motorcycle's turn indication is highly visible toother traffic.
• The LED headlight is lightweight, bright, and distinctive. This low-electric-draw light has a narrow, stacked shape to allow the SRADducts at the nose of the fairing access to the high-pressure intake aircreated at higher speeds.
• Controller Area Network wire harness (CAN Bus) allows for fast andprecise communications between all the GSX-R1000's electronicsystems. With a CAN Bus system, riders will experience swift andtrouble-free electronic system operation while the size is reduced, andthe wiring is less complex.
• The LED combination tail and brake light assembly has an extremelylow electrical draw, and the vertically stacked shape permits the tailsection to be narrow for better air flow at the back of the motorcycle.The license plate is also illuminated by an LED light.
• The polyfunctional "Start/Stop" switch combines the engine stop andstart functions. The switch is a fine complement to the Suzuki EasyStart System fitted to the GSX-R1000.
• The GSX-R1000 is equipped with a lightweight and compact battery(YTZ10S, 12V8.6AH).

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.

Other 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).

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.
