Retro Spirit, Next Generation Performance
The all-new GSX-8T redefines street riding by blending neo-retro styling with advanced engineering. Inspired by the iconic Suzuki T500 “Titan”, it captures the spirit of a true roadster while delivering high-performance and everyday versatility. Designed as a retro-styled naked bike for today’s rider, the GSX-8T breathes new life into a classic silhouette. For those seeking added wind protection and a sport-touring aesthetic, the front-cowl-equipped GSX-8TT offers a bold alternative.
A Modern Classic, Engineered for Today
Designed around three core values—Timeless, Innovative, and Passionate—the GSX-8T blends heritage design with state-of-the-art performance.
- A mono-round LED headlight inspired by 1960s and ’70s Suzuki motorcycles delivers bright, efficient illumination.
- Handlebar-end mirrors, create a cleaner forward view while enhancing rearward visibility.
- The tuck-and-roll-style seat, reimagined with modern high-density foam, improves comfort and offers better reach to the ground.
- With a sculpted 16.5-litre fuel tank, the GSX-8T balances retro aesthetics with modern utility—offering extended range for city rides, weekend escapes, or wherever the road leads next.
- Matte titanium silver seat rails and a brushed stainless-steel muffler cover provide a premium metallic finish that complements the bike’s mechanical styling.
- Distinctive engine side covers (black finish) enhance the bike’s vintage-inspired profile while adding visual depth and a sense of motion, even at a standstill.
Every line and component of the GSX-8T has been shaped to feel familiar but built for the modern rider
