Not Your Granddad’s Motorcycle
Now, you might have encountered the naysayers claiming the GSX-8TT mirrors the Honda CB650R too closely for comfort. Sure, you can ‘choose’ your bike like a flavor of ice cream, but let’s not kid ourselves—this one’s served with a twist. The GSX-8TT’s mechanical features are plucked straight from the award-winning GSX-8S, boasting a sturdy frame and performance-enhancing ergonomics. Remember, what it lacks in wild horsepower, it makes up for in smooth midrange power that makes city commuting feel like a scenic ride on a Sunday.
