A Blast from the Past
In a remarkable step back in time, Suzuki breathes new life into the motorcycle scene with the introduction of the 1970s inspired GSX-8T and GSX-8TT retro naked twins. Drawing from the spirit of naked machines of the 60s and 70s, these models are not just bikes; they’re a nostalgic journey for riders of all ages.
Engineering Meets Aesthetic
Both models are powered by Suzuki’s reliable 776cc parallel twin engine, characterized by its 270-degree crank, mirroring the spirit of the GSX family. With features like a cross balancer to minimize vibrations and a short exhaust exiting near the rider’s foot, these bikes ensure both performance and comfort. They share a robust steel frame and subframe with their award-winning siblings, the GSX-8S and GSX-8R.
Distinctive Design and Features
The visuals of the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are deliberately crafted to pay homage to racing legends. The TT’s small front fairing, inspired by powerful race bikes like the Yoshimura GS1000, flaunts a rugged exterior, while both models incorporate a sleek new 16.5-litre fuel tank, bar end mirrors, and a rounded LED headlight reminiscent of Honda’s CB1000R.
Further enhancing the riding experience, these motorcycles come with advanced technology, including traction control, power modes, a two-way quickshifter, and a color TFT dash for an engaging ride. Priced starting at £9599 for the GSX-8T and £9999 for the GSX-8TT, they offer exhilarating adventures while invoking the essence of racing history. The nostalgia trip is undeniably paved in Suzuki’s latest offerings!
