Suzuki proudly announces the return of The King of Superbikes — the iconic GSX-R1000R, now reborn as the 2026 Suzuki GSX-R1000R M6. This latest evolution not only represents the cutting edge of motorcycle engineering but also commemorates an extraordinary milestone, the 40th anniversary of the legendary GSX-R lineage.
Since its ground-breaking debut in 2001, the GSX-R1000 has reshaped the sportbike world with performance that dominates both streets and racetracks. As the undisputed champion of production-based superbike, superstock, and endurance racing, the GSX-R1000 has captured no fewer than 15 FIM Endurance World Championship titles—a true testament to its legacy of reliability, innovation, and victory.
The 2026 GSX-R1000R M6 continues that heritage with updates that meet the latest emissions and noise regulations while enhancing rider experience through a host of advanced electronic control systems. These include rider-assist features designed to refine performance based on individual riding preferences and road or track conditions by ensuring that the GSX-R1000 remains synonymous with “Designed to Perform, Built to Thrill.”
To mark this historic 40-year milestone, the new GSX-R1000R M6 is available in three heritage-inspired livery options, each evoking the soul of legendary GSX-R colour schemes.
These striking designs are further commemorated with exclusive 40th Anniversary insignias on the fuel tank, side fairings, key mascot, seat cowl, and muffler. All of these shall be the proud visual tribute to four decades of supremacy.
Built for the street and born from the track, the 2026 GSX-R1000R M6 is the ultimate embodiment of Suzuki’s uncompromising pursuit of performance, a machine that continues to ignite passion and deliver exhilaration with every ride.
The Legend Returns. And it’s faster, sharper, and more thrilling than ever.
