that looks and sounds ace, I've got a feeling we will start seeing these everywhere in a year

[@terrencefu4473]

Builds like this are cool, taking an affordable bike and turning it into a track bike!

[@AM-uk7jv]

I hope Suzuki makes a GSX-8RR version with clip ons and fully adjustable suspension some day.

[@ojgsxr6]

I think Suxuki was too timid in designing the bike.

[@johneannetta2063]

I'm trying to sell my current track bike and get one of these, to do the same type of upgrades. Top job!

[@KyleMicena]

These new Suzuki twins are so sweet!

[@johna6968]

The 270deg parallel twin concept was a winner indeed

[@ashwinraggs4226]

Love this type of content !! Mods, tweaks…Good job !!

[@martynhurst3609]

Powerslide all the way ..absolutely top boys wouldn’t use any other

[@marcswinnen9100]

Looks and sounds great😊

[@djefferson02]

Im interested to see how much faster. Good work!

[@chrissunde1104]

Love it. Can't wait to see it in action.

[@stubbk3]

cool project ,, looks and sounds way better,,, i know you probably did it already but get this back to back with a GSXR750 and do a comparison,,,

[@stephenclarke6114]

Don't forget the air box mods

[@MotoGermania]

Awesome

[@breton523]

What about carbon wheels? Sure that would help with weight and turning capability. Lower bars make it look so much better, and that exhaust is awesome

[@ragerider6283]

Great vid. Looks & sounds awesome. It has so much potential as a platform. Out of interest did you remap the ECU for the new exhaust &/or do any airbox mods at all?

[@James-Rounds]

Could have a custom underbelly exhaust for reduced weight.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

I don't get why you are still keeping the front indicators and the headlight in.

[@daveyt4802]

All these mods cost more than the bike itself!

[@vertecs3581]

Nice Video ! :) Where can I buy the intermediate piece that is mounted between the exhaust and the rear frame? (the pillion pegs were previously installed there)

[@Eugene-fu5lb]

I like the exhaust, where i can buy that? I need that exhaust pf my suzuki 8R. Please send some linlk. Thank you.

[@javierc2726]

You forgot to upgrade the most important thing: The rider

[@webbieuk]

Whats cost of those mods ?.

[@ozzyg82]

With new pipes, is it recommended to do a tune or flash or does it not really matter?

[@daveo9844]

If you decat yes.

[@mickromer6199]

Wheres the dyno?

[@BRMCaptChaos]

Wonder why manufacturers don’t just go race shift from the outset on all bikes. It’s hardly an engineering challenge, and makes sense on the road.

[@andreassakkas7234]

Why? I don't get the obsession with reversing the shifting pattern

[@BRMCaptChaos]

@@andreassakkas7234 changing up whilst cornering is much easier to push down otherwise you unweight the peg. It’s also more natural.

[@Mike.4639]

Bike + mods = stock R1 price ...

[@ST-kq9py]

Yep 💯. Crazy how much money it costs to make a soft sportsbike into a track capable bike.

[@Mike.4639]

@@ST-kq9py , i know, so why just dont buy the R1 ? Pretty sure even 100% stock is track worthy. And the engine is on another planet compared to this suzuki.

[@ST-kq9py]

@@Mike.4639 I think all the new twins are such a let down and basically a watered down substitute for all the real bikes before them, I have a ‘22 60th Anniversary R1 and it’s such an epic bike.

[@popdatclutch3010]

While i agree, the motor characteristics as well as ease to ride make it worth it to some people. Me personally I’d get the rs660 or r7 bc they are already set up to be track worthy.

[@Mike.4639]

Stay away from Triumph, pure garbage

[@JD-fd6gt]

I would take a CBR600RR instead of this GSX-8R any day of the week. About 50 pounds lighter and 25 more hp give or take.

[@ma6netho]

you could cheat as motogp do, by adding aero wings for more downforce, hate it btw

[@user-lo9zz4fh1o]

Lmao all 70 hp at the track. That's a newbie bike. It's road junk

[@AM-uk7jv]

I hope Suzuki makes a GSX-8RR version with clip ons and fully adjustable suspension some day.
