Suzuki reveals GSX-R1000 30th anniversary edition

Suzuki recently pulled the wraps off the 30th anniversary edition of the legendary GSX-R1000 motorcycle. This bike will be available in the UK for now as a full production model and is being offered in a special paint scheme resembling the 1985 GSX-R750.

While the company hasn’t revealed the price of the bike, it is expected to cost the same or marginally more than the price of the standard model at £10,999 (Rs 10.82 lakh). Mechanically, there are no changes and it continues to deliver the same output. The whole intention of launching this bike is to commemorate the 750cc superbike and its famous GSX badging.

"Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled a 30th Anniversary production GSX-R1000 at Sachsenring in Germany that will be available soon from Suzuki dealerships globally. It is finished in the same striking limited-edition paint scheme that will be debuted on-track by Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales at this weekend’s MotoGP World Championship race. Sporting the legendary blue and white livery pioneered by Kevin Schwantz in the 1980s, both Spaniards have matching leathers in celebration of the GSX-R range and its racing heritage," said Suzuki in a statement.
