Suzuki reveals updated GSX-R1000R series to mark 40 years of the iconic lineup
To celebrate 40 years of the legendary GSX-R series, Suzuki Motorcycles has introduced refreshed versions of its top-tier sportbike, the GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R. These latest models come with major updates, primarily focused on the engine and electronic systems. Complying with the Euro 5 emission norms, both motorcycles will make their return to European markets like the UK starting in 2026. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Engine and performance upgrades The 999cc inline-four engine has been significantly reworked to meet stricter emissions standards. It now produces 192 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. Suzuki has revamped several internal engine components, including the fuel injectors, camshafts, valves, pistons, cylinder heads, and crankshaft. The valve lift curve has been revised, and the cam chain is now wider. The exhaust system has also seen a complete overhaul, featuring a redesigned catalytic converter layout to meet the new norms. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Features and electronics For 2026, the GSX-R1000 models gain a Bosch inertial measurement unit (IMU), expanding their suite of rider aids. Standard electronic features include the Suzuki Traction Control System, Lift Limiter, Motion Track Brake System, and Slope Dependent Control. A new roll torque control function has also been added to enhance grip through corners and reduce vibrations. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Colour options Three international colour options will be available: Pearl Vigor Blue with Pearl Tech White, Candy Daring Red with Pearl Tech White, and Pearl Ignite Yellow with Metallic Mat Stellar Blue. Buyers will also have the option to equip the motorcycle with aerodynamic winglets for added stability and sportier aesthetics. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Chassis and suspension Both motorcycles are built on a twin-spar aluminium frame. The standard GSX-R1000 features an upside-down front fork and a rear monoshock. The GSX-R1000R variant, however, steps things up with fully adjustable Showa Balance Free Front (BFF) forks and a fully tunable monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both the front and rear. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date:

2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 Updated With New Colours
Kawasaki has launched the latest iteration of the Versys 650, but there's a catch! The bike has not been introduced for the Indian but international market. This version of the bike comes with aesthetic changes in the form of new colour options. Similarly, there are slight changes in the powertrain to make it Euro5+ compliant. With its familiar twin-headlamp design, the Kawasaki Versys 650 now gets paint scheme options like deep blue, grey, and black variants. Meanwhile, the version of the middle-weight motorcycle in the country still comes with Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Grey colour with green highlights on certain parts including the alloy wheels. Also Read: 2025 Yezdi Roadster To Launch In India On August 12 Meanwhile, the bike is still based on a tubular diamond frame, housing a 649 cc parallel-twin engine which kicks out 66 hp of power at 8,500 rpm and 61 Nm of peak torque while revving at 7,000 rpm. This power is routed to the wheel using a six-speed transmission. The braking system continues to use dual semi-floating 300 mm discs, secured by dual-piston calipers at the front, while a single 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper is located at the rear. These brakes are fitted onto 17-inch wheels, resulting in a seat height of 845 mm and a ground clearance of 170 mm. The suspension setup uses a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork at the front, offering adjustable rebound damping and preload settings. At the rear, there is a single-shock system that allows for remote spring preload adjustments. The 2026 Kawasaki Versys 650 continues to have the list of features that were available on the previous model year, including the KTRC traction control system, and full LED lighting. Additionally, it is equipped with a full-color 4.3-inch TFT display that supports smartphone connectivity, opening doors to multiple other features.
