Suzuki has revealed the 2021 GSXR 1000R in Japan. The updated motorcycle gets new colour options. Apart from that, no mechanical changes have been implemented. Suzuki has also not altered the price of the new model. The 2021 Suzuki GSX R1000R will be launched in its home country on 30 July.
The 2021 Suzuki GSX-R1000R will be available in 3 colour choices. There will be a 100th-anniversary colour option that was introduced earlier this year. It will be carried forward as it is. The second one will be the Triton Blue Metallic with ‘Suzuki Ecstar’ decals on the front fairing accompanied by fluorescent yellow graphics. Similar shade pinstripes have been used on the black alloy wheels.
The final colour option of the 2021 Suzuki GSX-R1000R will be the Matte Black Metallic. It imparts a very bold look to the litre-class sportbike. It has the ‘Suzuki’ decals on the front fairing, however, no ‘Ecstar’ logo has been used. The red graphics look very subtle and bring a contrast to the overall visual appeal. Suzuki has also added red pinstripes on the alloy wheels.
