Re: Suzuki GSX-8S
It'll be in competition with the likes of the MT-07,so it'll depend on how it performs. The visuals don't set my trousers on fire,but I don't find it offensive either.

Re: Suzuki GSX-8S
In the MCN video I found it interesting that they reckoned the Suzuki looked more premium than the Honda in terms of fit and finish, the Honda looking pretty budget. Made me think what a topsy turvy world we live in when the Honda is the cheaper/more powerful bike and the Suzuki is the better quipped premium (relative) model There is a also a short bit at the end of the vid with the bike running.

Re: Suzuki GSX-8S
Watched the MCN video, he's got a squeaky voice.
It looks better in the video than in the pictures, dash looks nice, it's be nice it Suzuki did a Super Moto version of it with all the electronics of the Vstrom, wire wheels but the slim bodywork of the GSX.
Suspension looks to be similar to my GSXS750, so the rear shock will be a bit shit.
Looks like it's aimed at the market that the now discontinued GSXS 750 was, which leads to the question would I replace my GSXS with one, the answer is no, as I like the screaming 4 cylinder 750 engine of my bike, would I buy one instead of an SV650, MT07 or new Hornet, yes I would, it's better looking than the MT07 and Hornet, and physically larger than the current SV (which is tiny)
