Suzuki announced its first wave of exciting 2025 motorcycles and ATVs today. Giving a sample of what’s to come for 2025, today’s announcement covers a selection of models from a wide group of segments. From DualSport, Sport, Cruiser, Scooter, Offroad, and Youth ATV, our new model year begins to take flight.
These 2025 Suzuki models offer attractive new color and graphics options in the iconic GSX-R sportbike lineup, while the proven DR650S DualSport continues as one of the most solid and reliable bikes in its class.
When it comes to performance on the racetrack or on the road, the iconic GSX-R product line has few equals, as Suzuki all but invented the Sportbike segment in 1985 with the iconic GSX-R750. With an impressive legacy of racing championships earned around the world to the GSX-R750’s current impact on MotoAmerica Supersport racing, the Suzuki GSX-R line continues providing riders with a powerful combination of breathtaking performance and precise handling.
GSX-R1000R & GSX-R1000 – Suzuki unleashed a legend in 2001 with the introduction of the GSX-R1000. Using the lithe chassis of the GSX-R750 and the 988cc inline four-cylinder engine architecture Suzuki is renowned for, liter-class Superbike performance and handling became available to riders everywhere.
At the pinnacle of the GSX-R family of ultra-high-performance motorcycles, the 2025 GSX-R1000R’s versatile engine provides class-leading power delivered smoothly and controllably across a broad rpm range.
Like the original GSX-R1000, the 2025 GSX-R1000’s and 1000R’s compact chassis deliver nimble handling, impressive suspension feel, and braking control that makes a rider ready to conquer a racetrack or cruise a country road. Advanced electronic rider aids such as traction control*, launch control, and a bi-directional quick shifter enhance the riding experience while the distinctive, aerodynamic GSX-R bodywork slices through the wind.
The GSX-R1000R ups the ante with Showa®’s BFF and BFRC-Lite suspension components creating an unmatched pairing of reliability and handling that will help rule any rider’s track day. With stainless steel brake lines, radially-mounted Brembo® Monobloc brake calipers and a pair 320mm Brembo® T-drive floating brake rotors helping provide strong stopping power, the GSX-R1000R gives a rider a motorcycle with outstanding performance, responsiveness and feel.
The 2025 GSX-R1000R is available in a new Candy Daring Red / Glass Black paint scheme with red wheels, and gold-anodized suspension components, or the stunning Metallic Matte Sword Silver scheme with bright blue graphics on the fairing and on the black wheels, perfectly matching the black fork legs. The 2025 GSX-R1000RZ is available in a race-inspired Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Triton Blue paint scheme with black wheels and blue-anodized suspension components.
The 2025 GSX-R1000 offers the new Candy Daring Red color scheme with matching red wheels or the sophisticated Glass Matte Sword Silver scheme with new, bright blue graphics on the fairing and on its black wheels.
Key GSX-R1000R & GSX-R1000 Features
The compact, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999.8cc, inline-four-cylinder engine has the exclusive Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing System (SR-VVT) using a centrifugal actuated mechanism on the intake camshaft sprocket to increase high RPM power without losing low- to mid-range torque.
The Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) multi-plate, wet clutch functions like a slipper clutch during downshifts while increasing pressure on the plates during acceleration.
The Suzuki Bi-directional Quick Shift System enables smooth, clutchless upshifts and downshifts of the cassette-style, six-speed transmission.
Light and compact, the twin-spar aluminum frame has adjustable swingarm pivots to help racers tune the chassis.
The GSX-R1000R’s Showa® BFF fork and rear suspension deliver extraordinary handling while the lean-sensitive, ABS** system monitors the Brembo® four-piston, radial-mount front brake calipers that are fed by stainless steel brake lines.
The GSX-R1000’s twin-spar aluminum frame 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, radial-mount front brake calipers.
An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) provides six-direction, three-axis, motion, and position information to the ECM so instantaneous electronic adjustments are made to the Traction Control* and the lean-sensitive Motion Track Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)** .
The LCD multifunction instrument panel was inspired by the GSX-RR MotoGP dash, and the aerodynamic fairing houses a bright, stacked LED headlight assembly and eyebrow position lights above the Suzuki Ram Air Direct intake ducts.
The aerodynamic bodywork has a compelling appearance and a slippery shape directly aiding performance by improving handling and speed on the racetrack.
The reasonable sport riding position comes from a carefully crafted relationship between the clip-ons, footrests, and a seat height of just 32.48 inches (825mm).
