Why does nobody care about this bike? | Suzuki GSX-8S Malaysia

[@motomento]

UPDATE: I’ve been informed by a Suzuki Malaysia rep that the 8S does indeed have an autoblip function when using the quick shifter on downshifts. And that “shifting with QS needs to be sure-footed and firm.“

[@inthebox3997]

I Agree! A belly pan and a tail tidy is all it takes... then you got a super-handsome bike

[@destructiveflow6964]

Tested the autoblip and it works

[@richardwarsinske7064]

With a little over 900mi. on my 8S so far my experience pretty much matches your 1 hour test ride. Fortunately the QS does get smoother with more miles. Also similar to you I surprisingly found the different color options (23 & 24 colors) equally attractive but ended up with the white 23 version.

Where can I test ride the bike?

[@The7AceGaming]

You ride the bike not the specs. Compared to Duke 790, GSX-8s has low vibration even though both has twin balancer. Yes, Duke 790 has 100ish horseperse and GSX-8s has 83hp but nobody will cruise above 180km/h constantly on naked bike. So far, the only complain I had with this bike is aftermarket accessories is non-existent in Malaysia, had to import everything outside.

i find your reviews too good but i am surprised that you only have few videos. i hope you review other middleweight nakeds like mt 09, cb650r, trident 660, z900. sub from ph.

[@motomento]

Thanks for the kind words. Two main reasons for the lack of content: 1. We do this as a side gig, we both have full time jobs so we don’t have a whole lot of time. 2. Small channels with small followings have a hard time getting access to bikes for shoots. But we’re working on it. Hopefully it can grow to a point where we can get access to more bikes and get more vids out.

[@alistergoh9744]

can you review the hyosung/naza blade gt250r? been having my eyes on it for a while but im hesitant and there aren't enough food reviews online

[@motomento]

Is that an old bike?

[@alistergoh9744]

@@motomento ye, like 2010s old. and those go for more or less 5k in the 2nd hand market. just on the fence if i should get one as my 2nd bike or not

[@motomento]

If I get the chance, sure. But old bikes are tricky, can’t just turn up at a showroom to take a test ride.

[@cube1cze]

Can i ask what is your camera setup ? Quality of video seems supreme.

[@motomento]

Thanks! B Roll is shot with a Fujifilm X-T20. Onboard camera is a GoPro Hero 10.

[@cube1cze]

Did you use ND8 for those onboards ? @@motomento

[@motomento]

ND32 for daytime rides.

[@saifuladli7418]

Because small tank. Bentuk tank biar besar baru cantik

[@Deceptolon]

Why would you think that nobody cares? Did you talk to every single biker in the world?

[@AQHackAQ]

It's an extremely boring bike. I really don't understand why they released the bike and how they're positioning this in the market. The 4 cylinders GSX-S750 is much more fun. Another competition is the CBR650R, which is again 4 cylinders. Both are cheaper than this crap. It doesn't even compete with other twin cylinders like MT-07 and Duke 790 which are much more fun. This bike has nothing going for it. There's no point to it.

[@ptiscool3334]

Such a crap take. This bike actually has low and midrange torque unlike either of the other 4 you mentioned. No reviewer likes any of those bikes more than the 8s. Your comment is clearly bait and it got me.

[@AQHackAQ]

@@ptiscool3334 The fuck are you on about? The CBR-650R, MT-07 and Duke 790 are very popular and highly rated bikes. The GSX-S750 is easily Suzuki's most sold mid range bike. The fact that the GSX-8S hasn't sold much and you don't see it much on the road tells a lot

[@AQHackAQ]

@@ptiscool3334 Also: any moron's argument when people don't agree with their opinion: "comment is clearly bait" LMAO

[@florme6494]

Haha I took it for a test ride and bought one. I think it’s great fun. Your test ride may have been in a boring environment to have such a strong opinion.

[@AQHackAQ]

@@florme6494 Its competitors are also great fun, also better value. It barely even competes with its own sibling, the GSX-S750
