GSX-8TT

With a wheelbase that is longer than on a typical retro street bikes, this contributes to straight-line stability, while the overall chassis geometry provides agile handling and cornering performance. A priority of the geometry is to provide a comfortable riding position that effectively distributes weight to the front and rear. The twin engine benefits the geometry with its compact front-rear dimensions, allowing the positioning of the rider's hip to point well-forward. This in turn enables the rider to shift their weight toward the front and more easily control the 8TT when negotiating tight corners.

The product concept behind the 8TT is “Retro Spirit, Next Generation Performance.” It’s styling pays respectful homage to legendary Suzuki models of the past, capturing the look and feel of an authentic motorcycle. At the same time, it delivers a unique appeal by combining this classic presence with performance powered by Suzuki’s latest technology.

The 8TT uses a 5-inch colour TFT display. Clearly legible high-quality information displays keep you fully aware of all the bike's systems and settings, and supply vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer doubles up as a programmable rpm indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a pre-set speed, and adds a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and reminder. Manual or automatic switching settings for the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximise visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.
