Suzuki GSX 8R Review: An All-Round Blast?

[@jeffreeks]

62 years old. Still love my sports bikes. My latest addition, I love this bike

[@alivekicking6247]

This styling. This engine. This riding position... at 50 years old, it's convinced me to get my bike licence---- just so I can get one of these.

[@ashwinraggs4226]

I like the headlights on the GSX 8R. It goes well with the fairing & it particularly looks good when it’s lit 🔥 symmetry guys

[@AdamForeman]

I thought I liked the Blue one until I saw the Silvery white one in person with the red rims.. Far more visually appealing. However, I saw the yellow one on a USA bike review and that REALLY stood out

[@richardwarsinske7064]

IMO the stacked headlight looks great on the 8R and 8S but less of a fan on other Suzuki models I've seen.

[@ragerider6283]

Nice review. It's a great all round package & it does everything well. It also defies it's spec sheet & is much better than the numbers suggest. Only thing I don't really like is the bar design but not a deal breaker for me personally. Headlights look pretty good imo.

I can't wait to get mine 🤙

a sport bike that feels like a naked bike? shup up and take my money. But seriously i dont like naked bikes because of the 0 wind protection so having a sport bike that feels like a naked bike is a win for me good job suzuki

[@gk73man51]

The handlebars look like something my Nan would ride. Sorry but R7 for me any day of the week, have to have proper clip ons and adjustable forks.

[@BikeMatters]

They give the raised upper body positioning, but they do look a bit weird. Fast Bikes added clip-ons for their race trim one for the Cadwell lap record attempt, looks so much better.

[@gk73man51]

@@BikeMatters The engine is by all accounts a corker, I wonder if the market is there for a slightly more focused version with lower bars and adjustable suspension. Having said that I don't doubt that at this price point Suzuki will sell plenty regardless!

[@dIsAstErTR]

It might be a good idea to add original accessories section to your reviews.

[@BikeMatters]

That's a good idea!

[@raincho7809]

8S 에도 led 방향들 좀 달자. 옵션 장난질이 현다이 수준으로 ㅈㄴ 짜증..

[@leebrewer7394]

Why are dozens of youtubers pushing this bike like thier kids lives depend on it?

[@goldfish8196]

because it's a simple inexpensive and awesome bike. It's winning races too

[@petrol11]

Do you understand what a brand new bike from Suzuki is? It's a unicorn man. And it's really a very very good bike overall. I have one and it is an absolute torque animal... Theres not much to dislike and the bike has huge potential

[@leebrewer7394]

@@petrol11 I get that but I said pushing, not praising. Extra money greased palms I do believe.

[@petrol11]

@@leebrewer7394I really don't think so. People all over the world are loving it dude.

doesnt deserve the gsxr name, what a shame sports bikes are having their nuts cut off

[@ashwinraggs4226]

You guys need to grow up !!

[@Trevster65]

Unfortunately euro 5 and cameras are shaping biking. Fortunately I’ve outgrown the need for 1000cc screeming 4, just happy to ride from a to b in one piece nowadays.

[@ragerider6283]

It doesn't have the GSXR name. It's a GSX. Look back through Suzuki's model range over the last 35 years & the GSX's were soft versions of their sportier models which is what this is. The nomenclature is consistent.

[@jayhooks]

Coming from ‘proper’ sports bikes I like this class coming through. I’ve had enough of uncomfortable riding with a bike that begs you to hit 150+mph! If you still want a fast sports bike there are plenty out there…and they’re more nuts than ever!

[@ragerider6283]

@@jayhooks 100% Agree. They're not replacing sports bikes, there as well as them! It's simply about choice.
