Overview

The Suzuki GSX 8R is a sportbike produced from 2025 to 2027. For 2027 it uses a liquid-cooled 776 cm³ parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 82 hp (61 kW) and 78 Nm at 8,500 rpm, with a wet weight of 205 kg.

The 810 mm seat height sets the rider’s reach to the ground, while the 205 kg wet weight is something to manage when maneuvering at low speed. KYB suspension provides 130 mm of travel at both ends, and ABS is fitted to the brakes. The Quick Shift System reduces the need to use the clutch while changing gears. Fuel consumption is 4.2 L/100 km, with a calculated full-tank range of about 333 km from the 14 L tank.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Quick shifting
The Quick Shift System reduces clutch use during gear changes.
ABS braking
ABS-equipped brakes can help prevent wheel lock during hard braking.
Suspension travel
The 130 mm of travel at both ends gives the suspension room to respond to bumps.

Things to consider

Limited tank range
The 14 L tank gives a calculated range of about 333 km, so longer rides may call for fuel stops.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
