We ride the new 2024 Suzuki GSX-8R! Suzuki's latest parallel-twin-powered motorcycle joins an exciting segment of middleweight twin-cylinder sportbikes that are helping reshape the sport segement. The Japanese firm's GSX-8R, along with the likes of the Aprilia RS 660, Triumph Daytona 660, and Yamaha YZF-R7 provide an answer to the uncompromising supersport and superbike segments, offering motorcycles fit for real-world use with respect to their performance and ergonomics.

The GSX-8R is the sportier sibling of the naked GSX-8S model released in 2023. The list of differences between them is short, but quite significant with the GSX-8R model utilizing a full-fairing for better wind protection, combined with revamped Showa suspension and a more aggressive riding position to create a do-it-all sportbike reminiscent of what Suzuki's legendary SV650 achieved. Trackdays, sport riding, commuting and touring all color well within the GSX-8R's lines and its $9,439 MSRP.

We sent Senior Editor Nic de Sena to the North American launch GSX-8R launch, where he spent two full days with the new Suzuki on the streets and track.
