KEY FEATURES
Mono-Round Headlight - Inspired by the headlights of Suzuki motorcycles from the 1960s and 1970s, the GSX-8T features a flat-bottom mono-round headlight. This headlight delivers bright and highly efficient light distribution.
ENGINE FEATURES
Suzuki’s renowned 776cc parallel-twin DOHC engine delivers a superb balance of smooth controllable torque-rich power from low RPM and freely revs up to its peak power output. The 270-degree crankshaft configuration provides a similar, but more powerful experience as provided by the 90-degree V-twin engine. Suzuki Cross Balancer technology, patented by Suzuki, helps create a compact, lightweight design that delivers smooth operation.
TRANSMISSION FEATURES
The six-speed transmission features gear ratios that deliver exciting acceleration, whether shifting normally or when using the standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift system to shift without clutch operation.
CHASSIS FEATURES
The GSX-8T debuts Suzuki’s first handlebar end mirrors that combine a classic look with refined functionality. Positioned at the bar ends, they reduce interference with the rider’s body while contributing to a more open forward field of view and an improved rearward view.
SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.) FEATURES
S-DMS provides the rider with a choice of three different engine power output modes. Working in concert with the Traction Control System*, S-DMS permits peak power in each mode while changing the nature of the power delivery. These three modes (A, B, and C) provide the rider a quick and effortless way to alter the GSX-8T’s power delivery characteristics.
ELECTRICAL FEATURES
Traditionally inspired, the GSX-8T’s round headlight assembly employs a pair of high- and low-beam LED light emitters to provide clear and bright illumination of the road ahead.
BODY & STYLING FEATURES
The GSX-8T’s next generation engine and modern chassis gets a new styling direction that pays homage to Suzuki street bike tradition, but in a unique way that appeals to a wide range of riders. Inspired by historical Suzuki standard motorcycles such as the T500 Titian, the GSX-8T arrives with stellar performance and a fresh face created by the trim headlamp cowl.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories will be available for the GSX-8T, such as a solo seat cowl, a meter visor (small, clear fly screen), tank side protectors, billet clutch and brake levers, clip-on tank bags and other luggage, plus a selection of Suzuki logo apparel.
