Good review, thanks for sharing. Looks to be very good, well priced motorcycle. Provided the finish holds up well, it should hold its own ad a good bike for Suzuki. And it ticks the right boxes. Good looks, wind protection, enough power and ample torque with very good road dynamics…..what’s not to like?

Nice review Lofty. Great looking bike, I will definitely test ride. Love the torque, the 8S is very quick from 5500 to 8500 rpm. The 8S soft bags and tank bag will fit. Givi makes a rack for a top box, which is what use on the 8S. Might look odd but has very high utility for commuting and running around town. Also small trips of course. Did you think the suspension was harder than the 8S on poor B roads?? I see you did not really push hard witht he wet roads etc.

Hepco Becker do a rack, and a luggage plate that replaces the rear seat...enough other parts to make a single person tourer,USB,GPS bracket, screen, and no doubt McCruise will have C/C for the 4 x current models using the 800cc motor? Given speed limits/cameras all over Western Europe, as much as you need!

Like the looks. I have ridden one. It’s great fun in the lower revs, good torque. But runs out of steam after 80 mph. 1/4 mile 14.8 sec. 😂 Suzuki GSX-8S 0-60 and acceleration in miles per hour 0-10 mph 0.3 s 0-20 mph 0.5 s 0-30 mph 0.8 s 0-40 mph 1.3 s 0-50 mph 2.1 s 0-60 mph 3.4 s 0-70 mph 5.9 s 0-80 mph 10.2 s 0-90 mph 15.5 s 0-100 mph 21.2 s 0-110 mph 26.4 s 0-120 mph 30.4 s

I disagree it's not a sportsbike you suggested. It's just that people have been subjected to Supersports a bit too much, those are not sportsbikes, they are race bikes made road legal, barely. This what a true sportsbike should be like imo and it's going to sell like crazy because it's exactly what the bike world had been expecting. They've sort of capped the HP, they didn't need to chase after the Hornets or the KTMs, there's only so much power you need on a sportsbike, especially when you have absolute bags of torque to go with, which make it useable under literally all conditions. The competition can go and copy it and add 10-20HP and I won't care, once I reach 80-85mph on a short straight in the twisties I'm going to hold the throttle anyway, that's a s fast as I want to be going.

SuperTwins lapping the I.o.M 3mph faster than Hislop,Foggy,Joey and Co on their 'works' 750's,these are sports bikes, just over engineered for reliability...a flash, pipe and filter, 84bhp at the rear wheel, that's CBR600F power,95 at the crank!
