Japanese bikemaker Suzuki has revealed the MY-2023 GSX-8S at the ongoing EICMA motorcycle show in Italy. The middleweight streetfighter is based on the iconic GSX-S1000.
Design
The 2023 Suzuki GSX-8S sports a muscular fuel tank with front-facing extensions, a vertically-stacked projector LED headlamp, and a stubby tail section with a split-type seat and a LED taillamp.
Engine
The 2023 Suzuki GSX-8S is powered by a 776cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC parallel-twin engine that churns out 82hp/78Nm. The mill is linked to a 6-speed gearbox with a quick shifter.
Safety
For rider safety, the 2023 Suzuki GSX-8S comes equipped with disc brakes on both wheels, dual-channel ABS, a four-mode Suzuki Traction Control System (STCS), and Suzuki Intelligent Ride System.
Price
The pricing and availability of the 2023 Suzuki GSX-8S are yet to be revealed. We expect it to carry a premium over the GSX-S750, which retails at $8,549 (approximately Rs. 6.95 lakh) in the US.
