2026 GSX-R1000R

It's back!

They made it meet new Euro 5+ standards by lopping some power off..eh!

Yozza might as well get some carbon wings off Temu, not only will his bike be better than the new one, it'll look the same too!

It's no Panigale........thats hit all the branches of the ugly tree on the way down. It needs @Skub slugs of doom or @KungFooBob buckets of fire.

The other two colours look quite cool. The 40 decal’s a bit rubbish though.

Exactly!

And all three would look better without that black 40th decal.

The only real difference cosmetically is the paint job and the wings.

Oh and the pipe, but you junk that straight away.

Typical Suzuki,they're making a point about it being 40 years since they launched the GSXR & they miss the oportunity for a retro 1985 paint scheme/homage

It was very thin, but I liked it a lot at the time, the red ones looked better, but I think all the UK 85s were blue and white.
