After hitting the one million Gixxer milestone with the Commemorative Edition launched in 2013, Suzuki celebrated 50 years of motorcycle production in 2014, with the released of a Special Edition motorcycle manufactured in just only 100 units with a total of 50 numbered motorcycles made for the American market and another 50 sold worldwide.
The 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000SE was a limited-edition machine that featured a special livery that harked back to the bright, lively color schemes of the first Gixxers, adorned with blue anodized elements and accents.
The eye-catching feature of the bike consisted of a blue chain, blue engine covers, blue fork legs and caps, blue ram air intakes, and the serial number that stated the bike's nature.
The SE model featured a twin-spar aluminum frame that housed a fully adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear.
For stopping power, the bike packed two four-piston radial-mounted Brembo calipers that pressed on two 310 mm discs on the front and a single 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear.
The bike was taking its power from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 182 hp at 12,000 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque at 10,000. Bolted to a six-speed manual transmission, the model reached a top speed of 299 kph (186 mph).
