Many manufacturers started transitioning away from inline-four engines in recent years, but even in 2023, Suzuki remains a champion of the tried-and-true layout. To that end, the GSX-R1000R returns to the brand’s lineup with the same presence that made it a reliable contender for so many years. That means a Showa Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) steadies the rig while traction control, launch control, and a bi-directional quickshifter maximize the superbike’s track potential.

Just under the R variant, the GSX-R1000 boasts the same performance DNA but takes a more pragmatic approach. The time-tested, 988cc inline-four, lightweight chassis, and rider aids (sans launch control) all remain. However, Showa’s Big-Piston Fork steps in to maintain the non-R trim’s budget-conscious build. Those concessions lead to a $16,149 MSRP, which saves more than $2,000 on the GSX-R1000R’s $18,199 price tag ($18,299 for Metallic Triton Blue/Metallic Mystic Silver).

The GSX-R750follows the same tiered pricing with the MotoGP-inspired colorway commanding $12,949 while the Pearl Brilliant White/ Metallic Matte Stellar Blue and Glass Sparkle Black/Glass Matte Mechanical Gray go for $12,849. The GSX-R600 not only upholds the pricing structure but features the same color schemes as its older sibling. That brings the Blue/Silver livery to $11,799 and the base models to $11,699.
