Introducing the Kiiro Edition
Get ready to create a buzz, because Suzuki has just launched its eye-catching limited edition GSX-8R, whimsically named the ‘Kiiro.’ With only 60 units hitting UK dealers, it’s time to act fast if you want to make this stunning machine yours. Priced at £9599 on the road, this bike isn’t just a pretty face; it packs a punch with a 776cc parallel-twin motor that produces 82bhp at 8500rpm.
A Style That Stands Out
The first thing that strikes you about the Kiiro is its bold yellow and black color scheme, a remarkable deviation from the standard black, silver, and blue options. The word ‘Kiiro’ means yellow in Japanese, reflecting the bike’s unique aesthetic. Black 8R logos, grey wheels, and a stylish grey aluminium subframe add to its allure. Completing the striking look is a smoked front screen, ensuring this bike is as visually thrilling as it is performance-oriented.
Performance and Features
But wait, there’s more! Beyond just its good looks, the Kiiro Edition features a single seat cowl, gilles billet aluminium levers, and a two-tone seat adorned with the famous GSX logo. It’s essentially the same stalwart GSX-8R that triumphed in our six-strong soft sportsbike group test in 2024, famously outshining competitors like Aprilia and Kawasaki. If practicality is key, you’ll love its usable upright riding position, making this bike perfect for everyday trips, whether you’re commuting or cruising on the weekends.
