Suzuki GSX-8S Overview

An upcoming middleweight naked, the GSX-8S pairs a 776cc twin with 81.7bhp and 77.6Nm, making it a step-up option for riders looking beyond commuter bikes. Three riding modes offer selectable settings, and its six-speed gearbox has a familiar layout. Dual-channel ABS helps keep both wheels from locking under hard braking, with disc brakes at both ends.

The GSX-8S is expected to launch in December 2026 and is not on sale yet; its expected price has not been announced, so its price position against rivals is unclear. Its 202kg kerb weight and 810mm seat are worth considering for slow-speed manoeuvring and shorter riders. The Trident 660 makes slightly less power at 80bhp and weighs 189kg; Honda’s CB750 Hornet is more powerful at 90.5bhp and has a lower 795mm seat. The GSX-8S has a stepped pillion seat, footrests and grab rail, but no under-seat storage.

  • The 776cc twin produces 81.7bhp and 77.6Nm for a middleweight performance focus.
  • Three riding modes let riders choose between A, B and C.
  • Dual-channel ABS helps keep either wheel from locking during hard braking.
  • The digital display includes a fuel gauge, tachometer and two tripmeters.
  • A stepped pillion seat comes with footrests and a grab rail.

What we like

  • Dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at both ends.
  • Selectable A, B and C riding modes.
  • Digital display includes a fuel gauge and two tripmeters.
  • LED headlamp, tail light and turn signals.

What could be better

  • At 202kg, it is heavier than the listed Trident 660 and CB750 Hornet.
  • Its 810mm seat is taller than the Trident 660 and CB750 Hornet.
  • The 14-litre tank is smaller than the CB750 Hornet’s 15-litre tank.

Best for: The GSX-8S is best for riders seeking an upcoming middleweight naked with selectable riding modes and dual-channel ABS, and who are comfortable with its weight and seat height.
