The Suzuki GSX-R1000RS 40th Anniversary marks a new top trim in the GSX-R1000 range for 2027, celebrating four decades of the GSX-R nameplate with a dedicated commemorative livery.

An aluminium frame, inverted front fork, Brembo radial-mount front brakes, and a wet multi-plate slipper clutch round out the package, for a claimed wet weight of 203 kg. Suzuki lists the model with a 6-speed constant-mesh gearbox and chain final drive.
