Suzuki GSX-8T 2025

Suzuki GSX-8T 2025

With the GSX-8T, Suzuki delivers a bike with character, suitability for everyday use and independent style. The mixture of classic appearance and modern technology is a success, and the positioning as a high-quality character with retro charm is fitting. In short, it is the 8S for adults. However, the entry into a new retro generation at Suzuki is not entirely favourable.

good suspension

high-quality finish

suitable for everyday use

powerful LED-Headlights

pleasant ergonomics

successful appearance

Licence plate holder disturbs otherwise wonderful appearance
