What is the Suzuki GSX-R1000R Stealth?
The Suzuki GSX-R1000R Stealth is a limited-edition version of the company’s flagship GSX-R1000R supersport motorcycle. The special edition has already sold out in Italy, just days after its official presentation, and was restricted to only 10 numbered units.
The Stealth edition focuses on exclusive styling and selected equipment upgrades, rather than introducing a new engine or chassis updates.
What makes the design special?
The GSX-R1000R Stealth features a combination of gloss-black and matte-black surfaces, creating a dark, stealthy theme. The fuel tank carries the Stealth logo and the motorcycle’s sequential production number.
The design is inspired by Suzuki’s Stealth Line outboard engines, connecting the Japanese brand’s motorcycle and marine products.
What chassis and braking components does it use?
The Suzuki GSX-R1000R is built on an aluminium twin-spar frame, performance-oriented suspension and Brembo braking hardware. The suspension features fully adjustable Showa Balance Free Front inverted telescopic forks with coil springs and oil damping, and a Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion-lite monoshock, connected to the swingarm through a progressive linkage.
What equipment does it come with?
The Stealth edition includes several exclusive components over the standard GSX-R1000R package. These include:
-
Akrapovič titanium exhaust.
-
Carbon-fibre winglets.
-
Smoked windscreen.
-
Single-seat cover.
What electronic features are included?

- Traction control
- Launch Control
- Bidirectional Quick Shifter
- Multiple riding modes
- Lean-Sensitive ABS
Does it produce more power?
The supersport is powered by a 999.8cc inline-four engine. The inline-four makes 192 hp at 13,200 rpm, and it develops 110 Nm of peak torque at 11,000 rpm.
How much did it cost?
The Suzuki GSX-R1000R Stealth was priced at €21,690 in Italy. This places the Stealth edition above the 40th Anniversary edition of the Suzuki GSX-R1000R.
