Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Cultivated engine

good suspension

high-quality finish

good features

suitable for everyday use

powerful LED-Headlights

pleasant ergonomics

large range

successful appearance

Licence plate holder disturbs otherwise wonderful appearance

high price

TFT screen somewhat carelessly pulled into the retro concept

Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2026

Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2026

The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is the best V7 that Moto Guzzi currently builds. The development department in Mandello del Lario improved exactly those points where the V7 Stone or Classic were a problem for dedicated riders: Brakes, adjustable fork, electronics and acceleration from the centre.

High-performance brakes

powerful engine centre

modern electronics package

good feel for the front wheel

successful further development of the V7 concept towards sport

nice details

Rear suspension with wooden reponsiveness

Sport mode too rough

display too dull for top model
