That MotBob bloke uploaded a video about them on his YT channel earlier.
I prefer them to the current models & they've got s bigger tank so more range but they're over priced,almost 10 grand :wtf:
I'd be tempted maybe next year when they start discounting them..

Being Suzuki they will definitely discounted them soon! I quite like the existing 800 but think these look better.

Visually they don't make me want to impulse buy. Probably good enough bikes,just a bit homogeneous,could be in the MT range,or anything.

Definitely over priced, you can get a Hornet 1000 for the sane money, and they aren't pretty

Amazing what a paint job can do. Left looks like "Nah, not for me, but the black one looks nice even though the tank reminds me of a CX500

I quite like the look of them.

If any bikes were crying out for black backed number plates, it's those in that photo.

It does seem bikes have largely followed cars down the generic design route

I don't get it - the GSX8-S is a pretty good bike, I rode one a couple of years ago and liked it.

But they've made it look subjectively worse, added nothing of real dynamic value, and they cost £10 grand?? £2.5 more than the 8-S!

I agree I prefer the 8S looks and if the new one has nothing over the 8S you'd have to really really like the new looks a lot to pay over the odds.
