Suzuki has pulled the wraps off an ultra-exclusive GSX-R1000R Stealth Edition at the Turin Motor Show, and just 10 will ever leave the factory.

The special model is available only through Suzuki Italy’s online ordering system at €21,690 including VAT, roughly $25,000 at current exchange rates.

A California Air Resources Board executive order has confirmed what SV650 fans have been hoping for: the bike lives on.

The filing, published September 9, lists a new model under the code SV650RQM7. That “M7” suffix follows Suzuki’s convention for 2027 model year machines.

When Suzuki dropped the original GSX-R750 back in 1985, it basically redefined what a middleweight sportbike could be: race-ready performance with a featherweight chassis. The bike dominated the track and inspired an entire category. Four decades on, Suzuki’s celebrating that legacy with the 2026 GSX-R750Z 40th Anniversary Edition.

The mechanical core is unchanged. You get the same 750cc four-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four with 12.5:1 compression and a lightweight, compact frame that still punches above its displacement. For 2026, the real story is the commemorative paint and styling cues that remind riders where this bike came from.

The 2026 Suzuki GSX-R1000R is back after a long absence from the superbike wars, and it arrives leaner but more calculated than ever. The new motor cranks out 192 horsepower at 13,200 rpm—a step down from Ducati’s current 210-plus bhp superbikes—but Suzuki isn’t playing the horsepower game anymore.

The 999.8cc inline-four has been fundamentally rebuilt. A new crankshaft, crankcases, pistons, connecting rods, and 13.8:1 compression ratio make this engine feel like a clean slate.

Suzuki officially confirms the SV-7GX will reach U.S. dealerships with pricing that undercuts expectations for a middleweight equipped with modern electronics and wireless connectivity.

The base SV-7GX arrives at $8,599, while the SV-7GXV (essentially the same bike with different styling) drops to $8,399 for riders who don’t care about cosmetic trim.

Suzuki’s 2027 lineup marks a decisive shift away from pure performance chasing and toward the practical machines most riders actually want. The company just unveiled its first batch of new models, and the standout isn’t another superbike.

Instead, it’s the all-new SV-7GX, a middleweight sport-tourer built on the battle-tested 645cc V-twin platform that’s defined a generation of accessible, rideable motorcycles.

Suzuki just pulled the curtain on the 40th anniversary GSX-R1000R, and it’s far more than fresh graphics celebrating four decades of superbike history. The new 999.8cc inline-four features a serious technical overhaul aimed squarely at both track riders and sportbike purists.

The compression ratio jumps from 13.2 to 13.8:1, peak output sits at 195 horses at 13,200 rpm, and maximum torque lands at 110 Nm at 11,000 rpm. All while meeting the tightened Euro 5+ emission standards.

Will the New Hayabusa Paint Silence Its Critics?

For a sportbike legend, the 2027 Hayabusa doesn’t do much changing. Suzuki just announced refreshed colorways for their flagship hyperbike, and the mechanical side remains untouched.

Suzuki’s rolling out its first batch of 2027 models, and the headline-grabber is a fresh take on the middleweight sport-touring market: the all-new SV-7GX and SV-7GXV sport crossover machines. Both tap into Suzuki’s time-tested 645cc 90-degree V-Twin, the same engine that powers the SV650, a platform that’s earned its stripes over two decades.

The move makes sense. Suzuki’s carving out a niche between pure sportbikes and full adventure tourers, and the SV-7GX sits right in that sweet spot. It’s got the agility riders want for canyon carving, paired with comfort features that make longer hauls less of a chore.
