Suzuki GSX-R1000R Stealth edition launches in Italy

Suzuki fans in Italy can now get their hands on a new special edition, as the GSX-R1000R Stealth Edition is launched.

The bike is said to be inspired by Suzuki’s Stealth Line outboard engine range, meaning it gets a black paint job with gloss and matte accents, which are said to give it an “aggressive yet elegant look”.
Other changes for the new model are light, with the titanium Akrapovic exhaust being the only notable technical update. Other changes are rear seat cover, carbon fibre winglets, a smoked screen and a limited edition number decal on the airbox cover.
The new bike will be priced €21,690 (around £18,500) although simply being an Italy resident doesn’t guarantee bagging one as just ten are set to be produced.
The new model, which is sadly only available in Italy, has us reminiscing about the GSX-R1000R Phantom model.
The Phantom, which was revived most recently in 2021 featured a number of technical and aestheitc updates, including a Yohimuira exhaust system, a smoked double bubble screen, single seat cowl, tank pad, fuel cap trim, and track-focused brake and clutch lever guards.
The first Phantom edition of the GSX-R appeared in the mid-2000s, on the now-legendary K6. The last Pahntom to appear, in 2021, was the swansong special edition for the model before its Euro emissions-enforced hiatus.
The GSX-R1000R returned to sale in 2026, with a new updated Euro5+ model being announced at the end of 2025.
