GSX-R1000R Stealth Edition: ten bikes for Italy
Suzuki’s special edition combines black styling, an Akrapovic exhaust and a ten-unit production run.

Suzuki is launching the GSX-R1000R Stealth Edition in Italy as a highly limited special version of its superbike. Only ten motorcycles are scheduled for production, while the reported price is €21,690. The edition is described as exclusive to Italy; the available information does not establish sales in any other market.
The Stealth theme comes from Suzuki’s Stealth Line outboard-engine range. Its black bodywork mixes matte and gloss surfaces for a more distinctive finish. The accompanying equipment includes a rear-seat cover, carbon-fibre winglets, a smoked screen and a numbered limited-edition marker on the airbox cover.
The titanium Akrapovic exhaust is the sole notable technical update identified for the motorcycle. In other words, this is primarily a styling and equipment special rather than a substantially reworked GSX-R1000R, based on the changes described.
The concept recalls the GSX-R1000R Phantom. That name first appeared in the mid-2000s, with the most recent revival arriving in 2021. The latter version featured a Yoshimura exhaust, smoked double-bubble screen, single-seat cowl, tank pad, fuel-cap trim and track-focused brake and clutch lever guards. The Stealth follows the GSX-R1000R’s return for 2026 as an updated Euro5+ model, announced at the end of 2025.
