Suzuki Motorcycles Australia will release 100th Anniversary Limited Edition versions of its GSX-R600, GSX-R750 and GSX-R1000R in January, 2021.
The Suzuki GSX-R600 is limited to just 10 units locally and is priced from $16,490 rideaway, while the GSX-R750 (50 units) checks in from $17,490, and the flagship GSX-R1000R (30 units) tops the range at $26,990.
This means that opting for the Limited Edition comes at a $3000 premium for the GSX-R600 and GSX-R750, and costs an extra $5000 with the GSX-R1000R, compared to the current range.
Distinguishing the 100th Anniversary Limited Edition variants is a unique livery inspired by the Team Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR MotoGP racebike, which is itself modelled after Suzuki Grand Prix machines from the 1960s.
Recently, Suzuki released its updated GSX-R1000 sportsbike, which does not get the 100th anniversary treatment, but does gain an up/down quickshifter as standard, as well as grippier Bridgestone Battlax Racing Street RS11 tyres.
The GSX-R1000 carries over its pricetag of $23,990 rideaway as well as its 149kW/118Nm 999cc four-cylinder engine.

So wait until next year to get a GSXR 600 or 750 when the price goes back down?
