Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled the all-new GSX-8T and GSX-8TT street bikes on July 4, with global sales set to begin in 2025, primarily targeting Europe and North America. These neo-retro models blend iconic styling cues from Suzuki’s heritage with modern design and advanced engineering.
Key highlights include a distinctive round headlight inspired by the brand’s classic flat-bottom lights and Suzuki’s first-ever handlebar-end mirrors, delivering a contemporary yet nostalgic look. Enhanced agility and comfort are achieved through the use of a compact, highly praised 776cm³ engine from the GSX-8S/R, paired with a high-rigidity steel frame and a lightweight aluminum swingarm.
The bikes are equipped with electronic control systems to assist riders, such as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ride by wire, and bi-directional quick-shift system, as well as a lithium-ion battery made by ELIIY Power, which is lightweight, compact, highly reliable, and maintains high startability even in low temperatures, allowing a wide range of users to enjoy sports riding with peace of mind.
All-New GSX-8T
The all-new GSX-8T is designed to evoke the T500, known as the Titan, a high-performance naked bike from the 1960s. It features a color scheme that highlights the tank by making the rear of the body matte black, and a 3D-raised emblem on the shroud inspired by the eight ball, which symbolizes a decisive move in billiards, resulting in a design that is both retro and modern.
All-New GSX-8TT
The all-new GSX-8TT features a headlight cowl reminiscent of past models, and an under cowl, design inspired by 1970s road racers. The body color includes black front forks and shrouds, and gray seat rails, creating a premium and calm color scheme that highlights the sporty accents of the wheels and decals. The “TT” in the name stands for a combination of the base model GSX-8T with “Timeless”, signifying the revival of classic bikes in a modern context.
