[@davo1100]

I love being shown the power curve of the engine! Kudos to Suzuki for bringing that forward 👍🏻

[@briangiven7399]

Does it look odd to you that they meet at a point high in the revs? Usually they seem to cross nearer to the middle

[@davo1100]

@@briangiven7399 Now that you say it, yeah that looks odd.

[@doolak4192]

Based on the shape of the torque curve in the image, it is reasonably estimable that the torque likely never dips below 50-55 Nm throughout the rev band.

Finally, a bike that doesn't look completely ridiculous with the stacked headlights. Too bad it's way down on power compared to the Aprilia and Triumph.

[@DoctorZisIN]

Still plenty for the road, and I'm sure it will be cheaper than either one.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

@Grafight23 I'm sure it will be cheaper, but probably not enough cheaper. And what is enough power? My Striple makes about 110 and that feels like enough. I'm sure someone would say 140 is enough. If the bike needs to pull dual use on street and track it rarely hurts to have more power.

[@DoctorZisIN]

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 It would be interesting to know what percentage of sportbike owners actually do track days.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

@Grafight23 It's probably a single digit percentage. But at least 40% think they're going to ride on track. Likewise, how many people fret about the best bike to "tour" on, but then never ride more than 200 miles; maybe never ride more than 2,000 miles the whole time they own the bike.

Bring back the GSXR line to Europe

[@ZarcusHDGaming]

So, you have no idea that Europe killed the GXSR? Suzuki is struggling to maintain the stricter euro emission standard that imposed every year so they decided to discontinued the production of GSXR (except for the lower displacement tho..) and pulled out its team on MOTO-GP. All Suzuki can do now to save the iconic Hayabusa is lower its power, that's why people are not buying it anymore.

[@lriper4702]

@@ZarcusHDGaming do you know that Suzuki is the only manufacturer that stopped producing their flagship super bike??? Do your homework

[@voxbi3966]

was this bike developed to compete with Yamaha's R7?

[@x88MasterLooser]

i tried the gsx8s couple months ago. the ride by wire throttle has a terrible curve, where u open the throttle 5-15% but the ECU seems to open the throttle valves 80-90%. first you think "wow this thing has lots of power", obviously cuz u basically didnt even open her up and she starts "flying". but u soon realise that turning the throttle the remaining 80-90% does nearly nothing. imo its basically unusable for anything that comes close to smooth throttle appliciation, simply because its incredible sensitive when trying to add or hold rpms she later went to a tuning shop and got her ecu flashed for a linear throttle response. i hope they are shipping this gsx8r with a more linear curve in mind

[@MotoBikerRajesh]

Bring gixxer sf 250 like this model

[@CulturedDegenerate]

The rear fender taillight combo is hideous, but otherwise it's a perfect middleweight sports bike for the street

[@captricharddee3634]

Dear Suzuki, can you please make a 300-400cc variant of this bike? There is a gap between your 125cc section through to your SV-650. Some of us don't want a 125 or as large as a 650-750 bike. Come on Suzuki, make it, money stands by.

Why did you go with the 8R? I'm on the fence too with the 660

[@Cherry-cy9nk]

@@insektbyaltrene Has the quickshifter as standard, I think it looks more interesting, Suzuki reliability (the daytona is made in Thailand I believe), and there is an aftermarket for it already since it shares more with the 8S than the daytona does with the Trident.

Looks like a track weapon but really? You HAD to put the taillight ON the fender?

Do not forget for a bigger fuel tank. Minimum 15 ltrs.

Tails growing shorter every year, yet half of the known world then requires ridiculously large crane boom contraptions to carry the license plate in a legal position.

[@aequitas8749]

This was a missed opportunity. It could've rivalled the RS 660.

[@bootz0409]

Great advertisement... very futuristic. But I think my Honda VFR800 is a better all-round package. If I had the cash, I'd definitely buy one though!

[@PlaySA]

That's a different type of bike right? Touring? So they're not really trying to do the same thing, this is a sport bike all the way

[@bootz0409]

@PlaySA The Honda VFR800 is also a sports bike. It's a sports tourer and very track capable with that gorgeous V4 engine. So it's a fair comparison especially given the price of the 2 bikes is similar.

light and compact powerplant,800 with 2 balance shafts. Nimble,weighs over 200kgs...somehow i dont like the bike before even seeing it live

[@DashRendar308]

Nice quality bike but to heavy. You could have used an aluminum frame and made it lighter than the competition. Now you got one of the heaviest bikes in this class with mediocre power. The CBR650R and the new Daytona 660 are much more compelling, they are still heavy but at least they almost have proper sports bike power. Oh and I hope you adjusted the gearing, like Yamaha did for the R7. Because if its the same gearing as the 8S, then this would be the slowest sports touring bike in its class as well, next to that awful Ninja 650.

[@grtbgf]

I kinda hope that it's mass will help the stability feeling on higher speed. Other than that, i agree... It's torquey but 82 HP is low compared to the competition. I'm thinking about new daytona 660, but i'm put off by the styling and non-adjustable forks. Easy fix on both bikes. Might go with aprilia rs660, will see. At least it has all the tech, styling, power and a comfortable seat.

[@DashRendar308]

The RS 660 is a very fun bike, probably the best entry level sports bike, but I still do not trust that engine when it comes to longevity. Its got very high power, compression and piston speeds out of a twin cylinder. Before I see some bikes with more than 40k or 50k kilometers on the clock I have my doubts they will last. So far the highest I see are in the 20Ks but its a relatively new bike, so we have to wait and see. @@grtbgf

[@Stratocasterhead51]

Lets get one thing clear, none of these bikes are "proper" sport bikes. They are all faired naked bikes with more or less agressive positions. Even the more "potent" options are REALLY slow by 600 standards. Yamaha and Suzuki are banking on simplicity and reliability whilst aprilia and triumph are more expensive with higher tech and power. If you want proper sports bike power, get a 636 or a street triple RS which will demolish any of the bikes you mentioned, in a straight line or on track.

[@grtbgf]

@@Stratocasterhead51 Thats obvious, and we need to stop pretending that many people want to ride 600 supersports anymore. This new class of bikes is fine. I dont think anyone thinks of track days when buying these, and neither do I.
