Key Features

- Slim, compact and powerful, 776cm3 parallel twin DOHC engine delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and pleasant free-revving performance across the high end.

- The engine's 270-degree crankshaft layout helps maintain the pleasant feeling that is common with Suzuki's V-twin models, such as the SV650.

- Suzuki Cross Balancer, the first biaxial primary balancer on a production motorcycle to position its two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft, contributes to smooth operation and a compact, lightweight engine design.

- The vertically stacked pair of hexagonal LED headlights flanked by compact LED position lights provide a clear view of the road ahead, while creating a sharp look with unique character that makes the front end look light and ready for action.

- A custom 5-inch color TFT LCD multifunction instrument panel features a clearly legible display with a rich variety of information.

- Adopts the latest electronic control systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), including the Bi-directional Quick Shift System, Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System, Suzuki Traction Control System, Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ABS, Low RPM Assist, and the Easy Start System.

- The standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift System lets you shift up or down without operating the clutch lever. Shifting is smooth and sure, and the system is optimized to provide a solid, satisfying click with each shift you make.

- Every detail of its advanced styling, from the flat panel surfaces and sharp lines right down to the distinctive short muffler design, presents the futuristic appeal of a slim, compact design that instantly conveys performance potential in the GSX-8S' mass-forward aggressive stance.
