Whatcha think?
I love your choice to report based on your impressions, because Suzuki does claim that the Quick Shifter is Bidirectional.
Clearly, it feels less comfortable and safe in the downshift direction 😂
Suzuki hit a home run with this version.
Great review. Great bike
I think you need to do a little research so you can give accurate info. The shifter is indeed up and down. My guess is you did not feel rev matching because you were going to slow. I like your content but having no info on the modern bikes with all kinds of tech onboard will likely lead to more inaccurate info given to viewers. I am not criticizing as I know you want to give accurate info. Just suggesting you rethink your "no prior info" approach :)
I like it! Looks great too
Always enjoy your vids 🤛
Suzuki slapped Yamaha in the face without introduction with the 8R. The R7 is now underpowered, uncomfortable and less appealing for street riding. Good job Suzuki.
Yamaha has a R9 in there back pocket , it will pretty much be a mt09 tho so dont know if it will compete other then the power.
@@jacquessteyn4100 Yeah but again this is more meant to compete with the r7 and ninja 650 as the 8s competes with the mt-07 and priced so, I feel the r9 would have it's own spot right now.
@@jacquessteyn4100 Is yamaha ever releasing the r9? Wasn’t it supposed to come out 2 years ago?
@@c0dy1287 thats a good point i did not take the price range into consideration, im happy for Suzuki feels like its been a wile since they have tried to compete with the
other top brands
@@jacquessteyn4100 Yeah it's great considering they almost seemed to be on life support for a minute. Would love to see an r9 on the market though
The more I watch,the more I trust this reviewer. He's well seasoned having ridden so many different machines and non-biased.
Yes this bike does have a bi-directional quick shift system
I can see why he thought it didn’t though… I have the 8s and up is way smoother than down. Down is clunky
I think he means autoblipper and based on what he's describing, it doesn't have one.
And as standard equipment ❤
@@loftyintentions1985it does have an auto killer just like the 8S 😊
@@loftyintentions1985 It has an autoblipper as standard.
This seems to compete directly with my street bike which is a Ducati Supersport S. I love the sporty yet comfortable segment for the street. My back can't take sport bikes for more than 1-2hrs but I can ride my Ducati 7-8hrs a day (spirited) no problem. I don't know why anyone would need more power on the street as my Ducati has around 110hp. This one seems to hover around 85 with plenty torque. What a ball of fun. Great bike, well done Suzuki. Thanks for the review.
That SS it's a good looking ride.
Reminds me of the more utilitarian Honda VFR800.
I just don't want DESMO in my life, nor Honda's VTEC.
They did great with the Gran Turismo V4 in the Diavel and MS by ditching the DESMO.
IMO, DESMO it's too much for a street bike.
Happy Rides ! ✌😃
I think the Aprilia tuono 660 is a much better street bike with sporty traits and enough power and that would directly compete with the super sport
@@manasranjansahoo2905 yeah I love that one too. There is an excellent comparison out there (th-cam.com/video/BFhpoD8VQio/w-d-xo.html). It sort of boils down to the wheel base. SS is longer and it is more at home with long swoops whereas Aprilia is shorter and more at home with sharper dives and also at track. I never rode the Aprilia but I could tell the review was spot on for the SS. Aprilia is clearly the sportier choice. It will be tough for Suzuki 8r to compete in this segment.
@@tunctoker856 yeah you’re right and the review is spot on. But i was comparing it with actually the Tuono 660 and not the RS 660. The RS is a proper sport while the tuono is like a naked bike. Actually only aprillia does this i guess. The body of the RS660 is used with high handle bar and a bit less aggressive foot pegs in the Tuono. It is actually just like a naked bike with the body of a sport bike. That’s why i love it the most because i needed fully faired bikes with neutral set pegs and flat handlebar for a comfortable ride through streets.
Do check out the bike of you haven't heard of it yet.

This is the ugliest Suzuki sport bike I have ever seen in my life with 25 years of motorcycle enthusiasm under my belt. I would not sell this bike at regular price or a premium to a disliked half brother who is half my age and has stolen all of the favoritism from our parents and family. Suzuki glued two flashlights in a black sea of plastic, that was melted down from the odometer and dash behind the windshield, to serve as the headlights. This comes from a motorcycle manufacturer that has a reputation for clean, elegant and iconic headlights in their GSXR600, 750, and 1000 series. I could not get over that one problem but there are others such as the stoplight and indicators thrown into the same plastic rear fender and the headlights having one on at a time with a separate bright light not being on.
If any of you is looking to purchase this, please let me know because I love a good laugh. If your backs are out of shape there are plenty of adventure or street fighter ride style bikes that you may unfortunately be limited to unless you are willing to bend over spread for this travesty Suzuki has produced.
I've got an 8s and I'm considering trading it in for the 8R. The full fairing looks really good.
Do it man! 🤘🏻😜
Really liking the changes. I just can't justify loosing that much in one year to swap. So for now I think I will hold out and see if they make a R9.
KYB forks in 8S.
Showa BPF in 8R, higher spring rates. Idea was to be more optimal for MotoAmerica Twins Cup or folks looking to get into track days.
the suspension change is why you do want to trade it in, SHOWA suspension on the 8R is more upmarket still, I love the suspension on this bike
Suzuki usually doesn't make pretty bikes, but this thing looks great!!!
Its more of functionality over looks and performance kinda bike.
I hope this trend of more fully-faired bikes with higher clip-ons, with a riding position thats kinda in between and not screaming inline motors keeps up. I have a Aprilia RS660 right now, previously owned a CBR650R, but this one does look like a good contender for a next bike as well. I love the look of fully faired bikes, but I don't wanna be forced to be completely leaned over all the time.
You mean of sport tourings? YES, hope there more of it from low cc to high cc, the r3/25,ninja 300/250/400 has that high clip on bars
Y E S ! Cheers to more of these ! 🤘😎👍
Why would you consider this if you already own the rs660, I'm curious to know:)
Theres no reason to get this bike if you already have a rs660. Get the R7 or the Zx4rr.
@@ThaBootyBanditIMO neither of those would be good swaps from an RS660. I'm mostly just talking about the trend, and just for the hobby of trying out other bikes.
To me, this bike seems like a great “backpackers commuter bike” with the upright sitting position and ample power for the highway. I don’t know how comfortable the seat is for extended rides, and I definitely agree with you about the rear fender and taillight assembly that needs to be modified somehow. That was an eyesore for me! A good bike for the intermediate rider I would say. Awesome review, thanks!
Yeah the rear end is very ugly - but quite a nice front end.
Tail tidys should help @@cloudbasenirvana
@@cloudbasenirvana absolutely hideous.
TST Industries already has tail tidies and taillights for this bike lol, they knew people hated the back end and got right on working on an improvement 🤣
And the right size windshield for most, as you can clean air you the helmet but take most off the body
BROOOOO you have no idea how stoked I was to see your first impressions on this one!!! I've memorized everything about this bike since it was announced. Absolutely my next bike and dream bike at that (in blue to piss off R7s even more roflmao) jokes aside tho for me going from my beginner bike (scl500) it comes down the the XSR900 or the GSX8R as the next step in my evolution now that I know my preferred riding style/environment/personal tastes etc. As much as I still love the XSR900 I've long since fell harder for the GSX8R. Plans in the works to have one in my stable by the end of the year ^.^ My lil honda isnt going anywhere tho (The Beach Boys "lil honda" plays distortedly loud in the background)
The XSR900 was a very serious consideration for me too. At this time I am leaning towards getting the 8R.
I like how the 8S looks more, but this is growing on me. Im happy that companies are coming out with comfier bikes with fairings. This or the 8S may be my 3rd bike
They’re great bikes. Love my 8s
8S is more nimble (slightly lower weight), 8R is more aerodynamic (heavier ), seat is narrow and low so fits riders of all sizes. If u rode MT07 on ur course it is bit of upgrade but not as significant cuz of weight and lenght (just a bigger bike with more power)
@eldiablomatadore8580
I have a 2012 Street Triple R, I'm probably gonna shift it to more track use (no ABS, no TC) and use the Suzuki for road riding and maybe a bit of a touring use. The 8R would work better for that, but damn do I love the 8S looks 😂. I don't mind the power drop since I keep the Triumph in either case
Suzuki nailed it! I have an sv 650 twin and have been dying for an 800 twin w a windshield. Wow nice job ! Saw the problem and fixed it ❤
I'm from the Era of In-line 4's. It amazes me how times change and what becomes the demand by the majority and youngsters. I love anything on 2 WHEELS!!!! Nice job on this review.
Same, except that these parallel twins will never earn my love.
Love my Suzuki 8R! Got the same color.
The fender eliminater kits are easy to install no matter your personal skill level. I installed the Yoshimura and looks great.
Where did you buy the Tail fender eliminator?
@@johnjaytecson7873 RevZilla
Do the taillights become part of the bike or are they part of the fender, just closer to the tail? Not sure if that makes sense. Thanks
BTW, I used to have Yoshimura on my 8S, but then switched to Evotech Performance, which is really solid and looks even better.
@@johnjaytecson7873Yoshi has a nice one and took me 30 minutes to install
I hope that Suzuki musters the strength to update the inline-4 GSXR line one more time in 2025. So far I think I will go with a Kawasaki but there's a lot of things that I like in the GSX-8R and we all know that Suzuki is able to build exceptional bikes if they want to.
I've been waiting on a GSXR750 for ages.
They already, only time will tell the official release
Been saying. That past couple years Suzuki is putting out amazing bikes right now
Every time I sit on a sport bike, it is the handlebars that make me walk away. There are the sport touring bikes, and smaller CC Ninjas, but they are not appealing to me. I am glad they made this bike with higher bars that do not detract from the sport bike look. This bike is pretty sweet. Glad you reviewed it. I'm not a big fan of the headlights, but oh well. I am sure there will be kits for the rear fender eventually.
Likely within a month tops
My Corbin Gunfighter seat is what makes my Ninja 650 so comfortable, both wide seat and 2" taller giving excellent leg room. But this 8R is on my short list if something goes wrong with my Kawasaki.
Thanks for this review. I have the naked version of it GSX-8S , as my first bike!! Really nice bike, the selling points for me were the TC, riding modes, quick shifter and ABS. As Mt-07 didn’t have it and ABS was optional. But TC and riding mode I thought were good features for a new rider. I ride in C mode for now. And I practice your drills , bike feel I little heavy but pretty sure it is me.
this bike is so stinkin beautiful, and I'm not even into bikes this just popped up on my page and I watched it
This is your sign
I concur with the findings in the video. I rented one last week and it was really great. Ergonomics are superb for me at 1m83 (6'). The lack of (annoying) vibrations is also worth noting.
It will be replacing my Z900 once the dealer has it ready for me in a few weeks. I'll be missing that inline 4 sound, but I'll get so much more in return!
Beautiful weather!! Wow, enjoy!
I checked on Suzuki's website, it says the bike has "standard-equipment Bi-directional Quick Shift".
Yeah, why go on record spewing ignorance when you can just google it in 8 seconds.
And he also said that it's the only one. The R7 has QS up, and while technically it is a 200$ option, I haven't seen one single dealership that doesn't "gift" the QS in the R7. It is actually harder to get an R7 without QS than with it.
It's the same QS system in the gsx 8s it do go down
R7 is not ride-by-wire throttle. Quickshifter is up-only. Ignition cut is all that is needed for that. Throttle is still hard cable to twist grip.
8S/8R is RBW. Quickshifter is up/down. Ignition cut for up, and electronic throttle servo "blip" for down.
Triumph Trident owner here. Love it. The Suzuki would be my next choice after looking at the Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda.
Rode already both 8S and GT . Love it. Good value / cost and low insurance cost. Only thing its missing is Cruise Control or 1000cc Sound. but i dont think those 2 things make it twice the bike
Cool bike and nice review, thanks. With riding on streets, my '21 Ninja 650 is a lot of fun and fully capable for non-racing riding. There will always be a Faster bike, but no big deal as I'm not street racing or track riding. Enjoy the ride!
it seems nice, the only thing bothering me is the headlight
Great bike. Love the more upright riding position.
Love your review-- I have a gsx s1000f and it has way to much power for me.. I have ONE question at highway speeds did it vibrate?? i did not notice or hear you talk about that maybe I missed it.. other then that this may be what I am looking for.. Thanks Great Review !
Interesting, those strange lights actually go well with the fairing. That's one pretty bike.
I used to learn my MTC at the same place! Would've loved to have you as my instructor.
I was a hair's width away from buying an R7 for twins cup racing but decided to use my ZX6 since it will be able to compete in endurance racing. Glad i didn't, because I'd see this and immediately feel like i made the wrong decision. Some race bits on this and it would be a blast!
I like it slightly Katana styling vibe. Maybe it is the iconic silver paint and doesn't translate the same in other colours.
The big stalk out the back is particularly hideous, but with a good mod kit the stubby rear end would look great.
I think I would black out the foreword brace to the front mudguard. It make the bike look too front heavy to my eye.
Must be an aero thing rather than a styling choice.
Looks fun!
Sweet ride for sure
About the plate and tail light, search a brand call “Skuny”, they got part for tail tidy and the integrate light/tail body of 8S which should be the same as 8R
i have an R7 and it is my 4th motorcycle and i have to say this seems really similar of a bike, around the same price and power i have quickshifter on mine with a yoshi only thing id say is the suzuki is more technologically advanced than the r7 like i dont have TC and it has more of an upright seating position but I personally see it appealing to a first time bike owner and for $200 less you cant beat the suzuki hats off to them for stuffing all of that into that price point
The way they did the tail makes it even easier to mod. It’s actually very smart. Same thing the BMW S 1000 rr
Thank you for your insight. I was thinking it would be harder to mod.
Man, I love this Silver with the Red wheels. I think they hit this out of the park
I love how more and more motorcycles are coming out with minimalistic exhausts that don't have a big muffler on the side of the wheel and instead they exhaust under the foot pegs.
me too
11:45 It's sad, a friend of mine had already around the 1988 Anti-Dive front fork on his Suzi, at that time it was a miracle before ABS came. Today ABS is standard, but anti dive rare.
Woah. Those are brand new. HOT! Suzuki is trying to get that Ninja 650 market share and stepping up the game. "What more do you want?" Cruise control!!! Need that cruise control for commuting, and short trips. Front turn signals are not integrated into the fairings like the Ninja 650 but that larger engine is a plus.
+1 on C.C !
It's unacceptable for ANY modern motorcycle with electronically controlled throttle bodies to not even offer C.C as an option !
Well, they won't get it in Australia or NZ as we have a 660cc limit for learners and new riders
Good to know @chrispekel5709! I hear the UK has the same or similar restrictions on motorcycles and they have different class learners' certificates too. The 650 is a great starter, kind of on the edge of a starter. I'm curious, what does the general population of Australia and NZ motorcycle riders think about those restrictions in Australia and NZ? Australia has always known for the men with an appetite for fast and powerful machines.
@@StreetMotoZ before they brought that system in new riders were limited to 250cc (no power to weight ratio limits), so when they upped it to 650cc but with power limits it was much better. People used to import 250cc race bikes to get around the 'small and slow capacity bikes for new riders' restrictions haha.
It's also why there's a lot of old 80's and 90's 4 cylinder 250cc screamers here, they sold them or were grey imports back before the new laws
A lot of larger learner bikes like the sv650 or gsx650f have always been easy to restrict to full power anyway. Police can't tell
@@StreetMotoZ to be honest these days there's so many speed cameras and the penalties are so harsh that the desire for massively powerful machines for the street is starting to diminish I believe. If you're caught more than 30 km/h over it's an Instant licence suspension.
The move here is the 60 to 100hp type range, as seems to be where it's headed everywhere in western countries. You simply can't use a lot of power here legally
Just my opinion and other Aussies may totally disagree
Looks great. But I can never get over the fact that they let the "V" configuration go :(
Guess I'll be keeping my SV for a while.
You can still buy them new
The things I like the most about the 8R compared to the competition is the relatively upright riding position. In fact, I'd probably like it even more if it had the same seating position as the 8S. That said, I also want the fairings and the better suspension.
It's a beautiful motorcycle 🏍️💨❤ good review 👍
When I first got started with my interest in motorcycles, I was swayed away from GSX because of the stigma, or the stereotype of 'gixxer people.' But honestly, the more I see, the more I like.
I'm still struggling with that, tbh. I feel like I just couldn't own a Suzuki. It's like Mitsubishi in the car world. Maybe some day I'll get over the stigma.
Bro...dont listen to the hate about GSXR's..they're honestly good bikes. At the end of the day...we're all on 2's enjoying the ride.
Suzuki has some of the most legendary sports bikes and engines in the industry. Won races, land speed records, acceleration records, reliability is outstanding, durability is outstanding, they make some of the very best transmissions in the business. Not sure why the stigma.
@@exothermal.sprocketI assume he means stigma of being a boy racer
Its very easy for people who want to go fast to get their hands on a Suzuki. Stereotype kinda spiraled from there.@@exothermal.sprocket
0:15 lol nice picture
Just picked mine up in blue. I love it.
My newest dream bike
The Kawasaki 650 benefits greatly from a ECU flash, velocity stacks(oem are rubber which deform at high rpm). I take it on smaller tracks fun AF
Just got this this a couple weeks ago and I could not be happier.
It's a good looking bike. The only thing I don't like is the rear fender. It is pretty bad. I would buy this but I bought a 2023 R7 last month which I love.

Would this be as good as the vstrom 800 re for touring? I know it's only a few hundred dollars cheaper.
Love to see you on sportbikes

It has a quick shift down shifter. You have to wait until the revs drop quite a bit. It works really well when you get used to it.
We only have a Yamaha & a Suzuki shop in my small town, so our options are very limited :(
So it's great when Suzuki make something exciting & way more affordable than Yamaha :D

Happy new year 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I'm looking at my next bike and this one keeps showing up on my short list. That upcoming Daytona 660 looks interesting, though... And I wonder how this goes vs. the CBR650R. This has more torque but the Honda has more HP... They're about the same weight so far as I can tell. And that e-clutch might be nice.
Oh no, maybe I'll just have to go out and do some test rides... How terrible, haha!
been thinking of changing out my 2023 gsx-s 750 for something with full fairings, and from what I have seen from your videos, the suzukis tend to fit taller fellas like me 6'3"
Your 750 has so much more power, you won’t like the down grade in power
@@vannatter09That really depends on how you ride… unless you wring the neck of the GSX-S 750 and REALLY let it scream, the GSX8R will feel faster. The 750 had 82 Nm at 9000 rpm the GSX8R has 78 Nm… but that comes in already at 6800 rpm. Also keep in mind that the 750 is 22 lbs heavier that GSX8R. Personally, I much prefer the scream of the inline 4 (add a Yoshi and I’m in heaven), but there is no doubt that to most people, the new parallel twin will offer more enjoyment, most of the time.
Your GSX S750 has more power at the top but the GSX 8S and 8R has more torque and at 3-4,000 rpm will feel quicker. You have to work the GSXS to get the power. So it depends if you scream around the place revving the c##p out of the bike. If you do the GSXS will be quicker. I rode them back to back and chose the 8S for the relaxed torque almost everywhere, quick shifter and great dash. It feels grunty and sharper for every day riding.
@@eskemeldgaardkrogh4145 Yep! I chose the 8S.
@@paulconnell1309 Congrats on the bike. IMHO, you chose decidedly wisely! Where I live, the GSX-8S is excactly the same price as the outgoing GSX-S and riding them back to back, the new bike is simply better in pretty much every metric - it’s truly a cracking bit of kit! Only slight niggle to me is the sound - I simply miss the scream of ye olde inline 4… but then again: I’m an old nostalgic bastard, so what do I know ;)
The silver looks ok, but I REALLY want the yellow. Shame they're not bringing that to the UK 😢
Beautiful😮
The true do-it-all all street bike. It's no replacement for the 750 (love mine) but it is nice to see them force other manufacturers to stop being lazy.
They wait for all the others to play their cards, then they always come back after with something superior. This entire modern lineup is killing it, and hopefully, they are saving the GSXR line for the big final reveal with all this tech.
If so, it's game over for everyone. Even a K7 GSXR1000 will run almost down any bike you can set next to it on a circuit. This 8R is the ultimate street kit, with everything you can want right out of the box.
No CC 😢
Do a review on the Suzuki katana
!🙏
Could this one be a good beginner bike bro???
So does it have quick downshift?
How’s the ergos compared to the S1000? Anyone ridden both? Thanks
Great affordable bike, and great warranty
It’s a really nice bike. I hope Suzuki updates some of their other models.
I hope so too
Man that bike looks good
This is better design among all brand so far at especial jus like naked position of handle bar that is so good.🎉🎉 great designed.
Should I buy the R8 having an MT 07 ? I'm looking for something a little more sporty
The bike has a two way quickshifter - it's just a bit smoother when changing up!
Homologated for Moto America too! Wonder if it means the end for the SV650 track staple?
As long there are clapped out cheapo craigslist SVs it will keep it's place lol
Hey I love my sv650s it's still one of my favorite bikes I own.
Suzuki still runs the SV650, Vstrom 650. In fact I don't understand why people believe a 776 will close a 650 class bike out of a brand. That's like saying an 850 would require the end of a 1000cc.
@@exothermal.sprocket because the 776 will get lumped into the 600cc class on track and in a race.
Is it any good for a 6.2 tall and 250 pounds heavy rider?
most beautiful looking bike from suzuki in recent years
Good amount of power in B mode, in A will be ebven more. Looks like a good beginner bike.
it can be the only bike u need.
Prefer this to the sv650?
I was thinking the roads look familiar. Then I found out I had CMSP class here lol.
Good luck finding one. And if you do it's gonna be way over MSRP
How does that stack to a Cbr650r comfort wise and power?
Feels like a mini gsx s1000gt. If only it comes with matching panniers
I love my CFMOTO 450SS, but the Gixxer8R would be a nice upgrade for me!
Between this and the new Daytona 660, the middleweight market right now has some major competition going on. Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki all need to get it together.
You haven’t seen the new cbr650 then? 😅
@@martinturner2730 you mean the 2024 model that only has better tech than the 2023, still weighs nearly 10kg more while making the same power, costs over $1.5k more, has historically always had low production numbers compared to other middleweights, and isn't even coming to the US market, which is the biggest market for middleweight sport bikes. Sure, the CBR650R is competition for the Daytona 660 on paper, but in reality?
Good work. I'm thinking the ninja 650 is the better comparison.
I have a rebel 1100 and want a sport bike to add to the collection. Looking at this and the ninja 650.
I'd be interested, and probably many others, in a playlist with reviews of bikes for those with 36-40in inseams. Men in the 6'2-6'8 range. If possible.
And I would like one for short legs. The Tuono 660 has me on tippy toes due to the seat width. Passed over it.
If you're over 6ft you get tired of every video being made for short people. Every motorcycle video talks about how to make seat height lower, like a broken record. Every motorcycle video spends about 5 minutes talking about how good it will fit someone around 5'6. I'd rather just see playlists for motorcycles made for taller men and shorter men. Most motorcycles are very tiny today and they are not suitable for tall men. We need to know which ones are.
@@chadkline4268 Adventure bikes are for tall people.
@@Waldo1122 🙂 not all. Seat height isn't the whole story, and even that keeps shrinking. It's the seat + foot pegs combination, and then the handlebars when standing on the foot pegs.
@@chadkline4268 Fair call. I think adventure bikes might work better for you than me. I can't ride a standard one, some at all.
Now we just need these electronics on the 600 / 750
When am I gonna get my own sport bike?
Looks like a great practical bike as the R7 is much too extreme for a 72bhp bike and the Z650 is gutless but the real test will be against the new Triumph Daytona which is both lighter and more powerful plus Triumphs are famously brilliant handling.
i wouldn't say z650 is gutless...
That tale will be the first thing to go! If it's an auto blipper, you can't come down gear unless over 2 and a 1/2 1000 revs.
beautiful bike
I dont know why they have to mount the handle bars to the top of the triple light that.
That annoys me. It makes it hard to change the bars.
