To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking GSX-R sports bike range first bursting onto the world scene, Suzuki has released a special edition model of its GSX-R1000.
The GSX-R legend began in 1985 with the launch of the GSX-R750, soon joined by the GSX-R1100 in 1986, and followed by the GSX-R600 in 1997.
Aussie Rob Phillis took the GSX-R750 to its first victory anywhere in the world in a three-hour production race at Adelaide International Raceway in 1985.
In 2001, as capacity for racing classes evolved, Suzuki then launched the fourth pillar in the GSX-R range, the GSX-R1000.
The GSX-R1100 is no longer in production, but you can always grab one second-hand.
Only 60 units of the special edition GSX-R1000 will make it to Australia out of 1000 produced globally, and the machine features 25th anniversary GSX-R logos on the bodywork, and intricate laser-processed "25th Anniversary Edition" pinstripes on the rims of the front and rear wheels.
The left and right side mufflers also feature the "25th Anniversary Edition" graphics. The bike also has its own individual serial number plate on the yoke and exclusive GSX-R ignition keys.
The two-tone livery is titanium silver/pearl mirage white, and the bike is backed by Suzuki's two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
Contact your local Suzuki dealer for pricing. A standard GSX-R1000 retails for $18,990.
