Now, let's compare the strengths and weaknesses of each bike. The GSX-S750 has the strengths of a GSX-R 750 engine with a strong character, powerful and well-controlled brakes, a harmonious design, an affordable price, a sharp sound, and great lean angle clearance. On the other hand, it has the weaknesses of an acute knee angle and a difficult-to-read tachometer.

The GSX-8S has the strengths of a full-grown and high-quality overall concept, a high-torque engine, first-class running culture, stable handling, a very high-quality impression, a good seat, a great naked bike riding position, a good and precise quickshifter, high-quality controls, a very good display, and suspension that offers reserves for a wide range of uses despite the lack of adjustment options. However, it has the weaknesses of a quickshifter and gearstick that require a little more operating force than usual, being somewhat heavier than other bikes in its class, ABS controls that are very defensive, and an engine that has no rev reserves upwards.

In conclusion, the Suzuki GSX-S750 model year 2017 and the Suzuki GSX-8S model year 2023 have some notable differences in terms of technical specifications and strengths. The GSX-S750 has a more powerful engine and a lighter frame, while the GSX-8S has more advanced rider assistance systems and a slightly lower seat height. Both bikes have their own strengths and weaknesses, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and priorities when choosing between them.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S750 2017

Suzuki GSX-S750 2017

More power, more performance, more sound. Suzuki also proves all the pessimists regarding the EURO4 standard wrong and delivers the GSX-S 750, a successor to the GSR 750 that has been further developed in every respect and can be a bit more serious, but doesn't have to be. To ensure that aha moments don't become oje moments, ABS and a three-stage traction control that can be switched off provide a safety cushion. With S21 tyres from Bridgestone, the GSX-S is super-sporty, allowing you to take advantage of the generous lean angle clearance. Only the acute knee angle could be a disadvantage on longer tours.

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

For years, Suzuki was the brand that offered nice bikes at a good price/performance ratio. With the Suzuki GSX-8S, the brand is much more self-confident. It presents itself as high-quality, mature and places itself at the top of a hard-fought class. The unspectacular performance data and the relatively high weight tarnish the picture only briefly. During the test rides, the Suzuki was completely convincing. A really good motorbike.
