Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-8TT 2025

Suzuki GSX-8TT 2025

With the GSX-8TT, Suzuki delivers a bike with character and a cool look, a custom bike out of the box, so to speak. The mixture of classic accents and modern technology is successful, and the positioning as a high-quality character with retro charm is fitting. 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

successful appearance

Licence plate holder disturbs otherwise wonderful look

price upscale

TFT screen somewhat carelessly pulled into the retro concept
