In 2010, along with the GSX-R1000 model, Suzuki released a special edition of the GSX-R model to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the liter-class Gixxer, born in 1985. The GSX-R1000 25th anniversary came with a new look and featured significant changes such as a completely redesigned engine, chassis, suspension, brake, and bodywork developments like the 2009 model.
The special edition GSX-R1000 came dressed in a new livery with Metallic Mat Titanium Silver and Pearl Mirage White along with the R logo, which came in Yellow instead of Red. The 25th Anniversary inscription found its way on the muffler and featured stripes on both front and rear cast aluminum wheels.
The 25th-anniversary motorcycle came in only 1,000 copies, and every bike had a serial number plate on the yoke.
Jumping into the power department, the model had at its core a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed an output power of 182 hp at 12,000 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 10,000 rpm. Combined with a six-speed transmission and a wet weight of 205 kg (452 lbs), the bike flew to a top speed of 299 kph (186 mph).
The bike featured fully adjustable race-developed suspension while the braking power was handled by two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel.
