The New Standard of Sport Performance
The 776cm3 parallel twin engine that powers the GSX-8R delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power and free-revving performance you will enjoy whether touring, enjoying a brisk ride,competing on the racetrack, or tackling errands around town. Designed to be powerful, efficient, rider-friendly and versatile, the engine features a 270-degree crank layout with a firing order that produces rich torque and positive traction, as well as a pleasing rumble and engine note similar to that of a V-twin engine. It also employs the Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative primary balancer design that contributes to smooth operation and the GSX-8R's nimble handling. The engine's compact front-to-rear size contributes to achieving optimum weight distribution and chassis geometry, while it also helps position the hip point forward to provide you with an optimal riding position.
Rugged Steel Frame
In creating the full fairing for the GSX-8R, the designers paid due respect to the over 35-year heritage of the iconic GSX-R series, even while working to create a fresh new face that symbolises the future of Suzuki sportbike design. The fairing and its aerodynamic windscreen are wind tunnel tested to lower the bike’s drag coefficient, improve highspeed stability and provide wind protection that makes touring more comfortable by reducing fatigue on long rides.
5-inch LCD screen
The GSX-8R adopts a custom 5-inch color TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel. Clearly legible high-quality information displays keep you fully aware of all the bike's systems and settings, and supply vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer does double duty as a programmable rpm indicator that blinks when the engine reaches a preset speed, and the LCD now adds a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and warnings. Manual or automatic settings for switching between the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximise visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.
