Three years have passed since Suzuki Announce the definitive cessation of the production of its GSX-R1000R sports. Then, the impossibility of adapting its well -known tetracylindrical engine to Euro5 regulations, in force since 2020, declined the balance by the Japanese brand not to continue marketing these legendary acronym within the Superbike segment.
A few months later, already involved in the summer of 2023, the registration of a series of patents by Suzuki, all related to possible improvements in aerodynamic matters, suggested that a renewed GSX-R1000R could be on its way. In addition, if we guided ourselves at the exact moment in which the brand first used the GSX-R commercial denomination in one of its street models, 1984, an edition of the “40th anniversary” model seemed likely for the next season.
Suzuki announces the launch of the GSX-R “40th Anniversary”
Finally, 2024 was not the year of the launch of a GSX-R “40th Anniversary”, something that will happen in just a few days, as Suzuki has confirmed by presenting a teaser video on its global YouTube channel. Specifically, it will be the next July 31 When the brand, just one day from the start of the 8 hours of Suzuka, will announce its new model baptized with these mythical acronyms.
Initially, everything indicates that the launch of a new generation of GSX-R1000R will be formalized. Although, as you have already done with other models, it is very likely that you take advantage of the platform used in the last variant launched to the market in the 2017 season. Of course, applying last nicked technologies with which to compete with the strongest in the category. An approach that has already made use of the renewed Hayabusa and DR-Z 2025.
As declared in 2024 the president of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Toshihiro Suzukito MCN’s colleagues, this left no doubt that Suzuki was working on new sports cutting models with which to adapt to the demanding anti -antamination regulations prevailing in a good part of the western countries: “We believe it is important to carry super -sports motorcycles to the market, adapting to the new regulations.”
At the moment, we only have the only 17 seconds that the official teaser video lasts with which Suzuki makes us participate in his new adventure within the two -wheeled sector. A pilot leaving the Boxes of the Suzuka circuit in the direction of a new GSX-R 40 Anniversary …
More than one we are already eager to know what the Japanese brand has prepared for next July 31. Stay attentive to new updates.
