Since 1985 the GSX-R has shaped the standards by which other Sportsbikes are judged, from the original 750cc machine, through its evolution, including the 1100, 600 and today’s current 1000cc – which is the base of this Limited Edition version – the famous GSX-R logo has decorated one million motorcycles. This unprecedented achievement is due to a strong and continuous support from fans, racers and dealers all over the world and now you can own a piece of history with the commemorative GSX-R1000Z.

The latest generation of the MotoGP inspired GSX-R1000, is a sharp-handling, alert and powerful machine that is a force to be reckoned with on race-tracks all over the world. This iconic race-bred bike is also at home on the roads; it’s comfortable and very stable – even when accelerating hard on bumpy roads – and gives riders a feedback and assurance that is totally inspiring.
