Suzuki GSX-8R review: Suzuki's new twin-pot sports bike ridden on road and track

Suzuki’s first all-new sports bike in a decade lands in 2024, in the form of the #GSX-8R, a parallel twin to take on the new breed of supersports bikes

Actual all-new motorbikes from Suzuki are a bit like buses - you wait 20-odd years for one, and then a few arrive all at once. The latest fruit to fall from Suzuki’s big blue tree is the new GSX-8R, and like a lot of modern sports bikes on the market, it has more in common with a naked sibling than a championship podium.

It is, of course, based on the Suzuki GSX-8S naked, a bike launched in 2021 at the EICMA show. The silk blanket had barely touched the floor and already people (myself included) were musing about how easy it would be to turn it into a sports bike, ready to take the fight to the already existing Aprilia RS660 , Yamaha R7 and more.

Suzuki listened to that noise, and to sample the new machine I’ve been flown out to sunny Seville for a one-day test, starting on the Monteblanco circuit in the morning and then threading up into the mountains in the afternoon.
