The Suzuki GSX-8R introduces an exciting new expression of sportbike appeal, performance, and riding pleasure. Controllable, agile, and designed to satisfy, whether riding around town or heading out for a sporty run through winding mountain roads on the weekend, the GSX-8R is destined to appeal to customers across a wide range of ages and levels of experience.

The GSX-8R joins the GSX-S series alongside its sibling GSX-8S, featuring distinctively Suzuki sportbike looks that excite the rider in anticipation of sport-oriented performance and optimal comfort.

The GSX-8R builds on the solid engineering advances of the GSX-8S. At the core is Suzuki’s new-generation parallel-twin 776cc DOHC engine with the frame built around it to form a perfect package. Every aspect of the design is geared toward delivering a satisfying experience to riders who desire more power than a 650cc class sportbike can deliver, who aspire to ride a bike with the sharp styling of an elegant sportbike, and who desire a satisfying ride that is reassuring and reliable.

The chassis and free-revving engine respond faithfully in a willing manner that makes the rider’s style and preferences the focus of riding pleasure on every outing. Riders can easily tap its full potential and enjoy an exhilarating ride they can continue to enjoy for many years.

Wrapped in the unique styling of a thoroughly modern interpretation of Suzuki’s sportbike heritage, the GSX-8R features an aggressive, mass-forward look that is slim, compact, well balanced, and ready for action.
