The 2025 Suzuki GSX-R1000, GSX-R1000R, and GSX-R1000RZ return unchanged mechanically from 2024, although that is expected to change in 2026. Yes—the last time Suzuki updated its leading superbike was in 2017! For 2025, the trio will receive some fresh color choices and, as always, Suzuki’s top-rated sportbike engineering.
Powering the GSX-R1000 lineup is a 999.8cc inline-four engine that delivers a potent mix of horsepower and torque, paired with Suzuki’s advanced electronics suite to optimize performance. The GSX-R1000 serves as the base model, providing a solid foundation of power and handling with its Showa’s BPF fork and a remote-reservoir shock. The GSX-R1000R and RZ models take things further with upgraded suspension (higher-spec Showa suspension package, with a BFRC-lite shock and BFF fork, both fully adjustable). The only difference between the 2025 GSX-R1000RZ and the R is the traditional-focused paint scheme homage to Suzuki’s racing heritage.
Whether you’re looking for a superbike that can dominate on the racetrack or a high-performance machine for spirited road riding, the GSX-R1000 series offers something for every rider.
