GSX-8TT
The 2026 Suzuki GXS-8TT - A Classic Yet Modern Road Racer.
Styled with a modern approach inspired by classic road racers the GSX-8TT is positioned as a manufacturer-developed variation of the GSX-8T, equipped with a headlight cowl and under cowl allowing riders to choose between the naked model and the cowl-equipped model.

Its spacious 16.5L fuel tank makes long-distance touring effortless, while thoughtful touches like a stylish seat with stitching to match its sporty image, and Suzuki’s first ever wide handlebar end mirrors enhance comfort and visibility.
The GSX-8TT also features a range of distinctive equipment, including a mono-round headlight inspired by classic Suzuki models, a uniquely shaped fuel tank, a USB Type-C socket compatible with high-speed charging, and a high-quality information display with a full-colour TFT multi-function instrument panel.
This combination of striking styling, high performance, and practical features embodies Suzuki’s innovative approach, creating a compelling new offering in the naked sport segment.
