Suzuki Reveals All-New GSX-8T and GSX-8TT Neo-Retro Street Bikes

Suzuki Motor Corporation has officially unveiled two exciting additions to its motorcycle lineup: the all-new GSX-8T and all-new GSX-8TT. The global launch took place on July 4, 2025, with both models expected to go on sale during the summer of 2025, targeting key markets in Europe and North America.

The new GSX-8T and GSX-8TT represent Suzuki’s latest venture into the neo-retro street bike segment, seamlessly blending iconic design elements from the brand’s rich history with cutting-edge modern technology. Both models incorporate a round headlight inspired by Suzuki’s classic flat-bottom light, paired with Suzuki’s first-ever handlebar-end mirrors, delivering a retro look infused with a sharp, contemporary edge.

Built around Suzuki’s highly acclaimed compact 776cc parallel-twin engine, also featured in the GSX-8S and GSX-8R, both bikes offer heightened agility and rider comfort. The engine is housed within a high-rigidity steel frame combined with a lightweight aluminum swingarm, ensuring balanced performance for everyday street riding.

Rider-focused technology comes standard, including the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ride-by-wire throttle, a bi-directional quick-shift system, and a lightweight lithium-ion battery by ELIIY Power, designed for durability and reliable starts even in low temperatures. These features aim to provide peace of mind and enhance riding enjoyment across a wide range of skill levels.

All-New GSX-8T: Inspired by the Legendary T500 “Titan”

The GSX-8T draws design inspiration from the iconic Suzuki T500 Titan, a celebrated high-performance naked motorcycle from the 1960s. The model features a distinctive color scheme with a matte black rear section that contrasts elegantly with the fuel tank. A 3D-raised “eight ball” emblem on the shroud pays homage to the symbol of decisive moves in billiards, blending retro charm with modern aesthetics.

All-New GSX-8TT: Classic Road Racer Revival

The GSX-8TT evokes the spirit of 1970s road racers, highlighted by its headlight cowl and under cowl designs reminiscent of Suzuki’s legendary racing heritage. Styling cues include black front forks, black shrouds, and gray seat rails, combined with subtle sporty accents on the wheels and decals. The “TT” in its name reflects “Timeless Tribute,” symbolizing Suzuki’s mission to revive the classic spirit of motorcycling with modern engineering.

With these two neo-retro machines, Suzuki continues its commitment to delivering motorcycles that respect tradition while embracing the latest technological advancements, offering both nostalgic appeal and everyday practicality for today’s riders.
