A 40th anniversary edition of the GSX-R1000R, huh. The GSX-R is a lineage that's proven itself on the track time and time again. A special edition celebrating forty years of accumulated performance — that gets me fired up. Having watched this stuff trackside for years, I get the weight of history this bike is carrying. I want to see this anniversary model through properly.

So the footage is the European spec. Curious whether a Japan launch is even planned yet.

Anniversary models are always pricey... though the base GSX-R1000R is already plenty fast.

Anniversary edition probably just means new colors and logos with the internals unchanged.

Usually the case, sure, but a milestone-exclusive color really boosts the sense of ownership.

Suzuki properly celebrating the GSX-R instead of just the Hayabusa shows they get it.

The GSX-R's 40th anniversary, huh... quite moving thinking back to the original oil-cooled model.
