Anniversaries are special, especially when it’s your 50th. Stay married that long and you’re likely to renew vows or exchange new rings. If you a motorcycle manufacturer with a rich history in America celebrating a 50th, you throw a celebration for fans at one of racing’s most hallowed grounds - Indianapolis Motor Speedway - during the Red Bull Indy Grand Prix. As for hardware… well, if you’re Suzuki you celebrate with the launch of a special-edition GSX-R1000.
And this one is not to be confused with their 2013 One-Millionth commemorative edition GSX-R1000 that celebrated Suzuki’s milestone of a million GSX-Rs produced – the model with a limited production of 1985 worldwide (symbolizing their first year of production in 1985) with 1000 available in the U.S.
Suzuki has upped its game for their 50th anniversary Special Edition GSX-R1000, making it even more exclusive with an even more limited-production run of 100 - 50 of which will be sold in the U.S. market.
Known as the 2014 GSXR-R1000 SE, internally and geometry wise the bike is the same as the current model GSX-R1000 – but cosmetically, this one is blinged out with a look fitting of a milestone anniversary.
The bike has many special features aesthetically, the most notable being the polished and chrome-plated frame and mat silver colored bodywork with special graphics. Accenting the bling of the chrome are blue anodized outer fork tubes and a blue colored fuel cap. The clutch cover, rear shock spring and engine components, such as the generator cover and engine sprocket cover, are painted clear-coated blue. The drive chain, the headlight inner, and seat are also blue.
Following the theme, the special-edition GSX-R has special machine-polished rims with the spokes painted blue with a clear coat, and a black-anodized front brake caliper.
