Introducing the all new 2026 Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT.
The 8T takes inspiration from the classic bikes from the 1960s and ’70s like the Suzuki T500. The 8TT draws its inspiration from the fairinged race bike from the same time period. Bikes like the Yoshimura GS1000.
Both bikes are equipped with that familiar, tried and tested 776cc parallel twin-cylinder engine as the V-Stom 800, GSX-8R and GSX-8S.
Both models are fitted with USD KYB forks, the 8T in gold and the 8TT in black. Both boast a KYB rear shock, steel frame and subframe and aluminium swingarm.
The bikes are fitted with twin-piston radially-mounted Nissin calipers biting down on two 310 mm brake discs in the front. Out back you’ll find a single-piston caliper with a 240 mm disc.
Electronics include a 5” full colour TFT display, power modes, traction control and a bi-directional quickshifter.
Both models have a round headlight a distinctive seat, seat unit, fuel tank and handlebars with bar-end mirrors.
The 8TT gets that cool little cowl and belly pan.
