Suzuki Portugal unveiled the new GSX-R1000 today, September 10, at the Estoril Circuit. It was a lively day attended by the specialized press and the brand’s official dealers.

The GSX-R1000 is synonymous with performance, reliability and pure riding fun. Performance that has led to countless victories in production-based superbike, superstock and endurance races worldwide. That includes no fewer than 15 FIM Endurance World Championship titles since the model’s release in 2001. This winning performance also benefitted directly over the years from proprietary technology developed for participation in the top categories of the world championship races.

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R family and it has been close to a quarter of a century since the GSX-R1000 debuted, changing the sportbike class forever. Though the riding environment has witnessed significant change over that time, the GSX-R1000 has continued to evolve and represent the pinnacle of sportbike potential, both on the road and the racetrack.

In keeping ahead of the times and the rest of the pack, updates to the 2025 GSX-R1000 include those to comply with the latest emissions and noise regulations. All this while maintaining the winning potential for which the GSX-R1000 is famed.

Other updates aim to further enhance the riding potential and fun by introducing advanced electronic control systems designed to assist the rider, to allow the rider to best match the bike’s performance to their preferences, and to optimize performance for the riding conditions for any given outing or track event.

The GSX-R1000 comes fully equipped for the street, ready for licensing. But take off the mirrors and the license plate, tape the lights, and they’re also ready for the fun of closed-course action.

The heart of a race winner continues to beat in every GSX-R1000, with each beat delivering an invitation to ride the machine that is “Designed to Perform, Built to Thrill”.

STATEMENT II – 19/09/2025

As publicly known, a court decision was issued on September 8, 2023, aimed at regulating noise levels resulting from the operation of the Estoril Circuit. This decision has been fully complied with by CE – Circuito Estoril, S.A. (“CE”). Committed to a spirit of continuous improvement in the operating conditions of the Estoril Circuit and its impact on the surrounding area, CE announces that, in early August 2025, it decided to exclude motorcycle track days from the list of events permitted at the circuit. This measure goes beyond the limitations imposed by the aforementioned court decision. Due to their nature, this resolution does not apply to sporting events (races or competitions), including training sessions for such events, as well as professional driver track training not associated with any sporting event.

The Estoril Circuit has always complied, and will continue to comply, with the legal rules regarding noise as well as what is determined in the sentence handed down by the Cascais Court, as can be confirmed in the monitoring reports on the company’s website. (Link)

CE further announces that, following the decision of April 24, 2025, to close Stand A, there is currently no anticipated date for the reopening of this infrastructure.
