    To commemorate its victory in the 2021 MotoGP championship, Japanese automaker Suzuki has revealed a Legend Edition of its GSX-R1000R motorbike. However, it will not be launched in India. The bike is offered in seven MotoGP-inspired liveries and comes with a pillion seat cowl and an Akrapovic exhaust system. The rest of the specifications, however, is identical to the standard model. Here's our roundup.
