Suzuki has confirmed that the GSX-R1000R 40th Anniversary Edition will come with an OTR price of £17,599 when it arrives in the spring of 2026. 

Announced earlier in 2025 – the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R range – the new GSX-R1000R gets an updated engine, with modifications that include a new crankshaft, crankcases, pistons, connecting rods, and a higher compression ratio. The MotoGP-derived variable valve timing system remains. 

There’s also a new exhaust, an updated suite of electronics, and winglets that increase downforce at higher speeds. The changes mean the new engine meets Euro5+ emissions standards and boasts a higher performance ceiling, too. 

An electronics package comprises an IMU-governed traction control and roll torque control system and ABS system. There’s launch control, a bi-directional quickshifter, and selectable power modes.
