The muffler and catalytic converter are tucked away under the chassis for a cleaner appearance that exposes the 8R’s aluminum swingarm. The Suzuki GSX-8R is the fully-faired sibling of the Suzuki GSX-8S‚ which was just released in 2023. Both bikes are powered by an all-new 776cc 4-stroke DOHC parallel-Twin that can also be found in the V-Strom 800 models. The tubular handlebar from the 8S is traded for a pair of clip-ons on the GSX-8R that are about 2 inches lower and a smidge farther away from a rider‚ and the KYB suspension on the 8S has been replaced with Showa suspension on the 8R. To demonstrate the breadth of capabilities offered by the GSX-8R‚ Suzuki invited us to Palm Desert in California for a ride on rural and mountain roads‚ followed the next day by sessions at a racetrack. Watch the video below to see the 2024 Suzuki GSX-8R in action‚ and read our full review here. 2024 Suzuki GSX-8R Specs  Base Price: $9‚439   Website: SuzukiCycles.com   Warranty: 1 yr.‚ unltd. miles   Engine Type: Liquid-cooled‚ transverse parallel-Twin‚ DOHC w/ 4 valves per cyl.   Displacement: 776cc   Bore x Stroke: 84.0 x 70.0mm   Horsepower: 82.0 @ 8‚500 rpm (factory claim)   Torque: 57.5 lb-ft @ 6‚800 rpm (factory claim)   Transmission: 6-speed‚ cable-actuated slip/assist wet clutch   Final Drive: Chain   Wheelbase: 57.7 in.   Rake/Trail: 25.0 degrees/4.1 in.   Seat Height: 31.9 in.   Wet Weight: 452 lb (factory claim)   Fuel Capacity: 3.7 gal  GEAR UP Helmet: Arai Corsair-X Vinales-5 Replica  Jacket / Suit: Alpinestars Hoxton V2 / Alpinestars Missile Tech Air  Gloves: Alpinestars GPX V2 / Racer High Speed   Boots: Alpinestars Grange / Sidi Mag-1  The post 2024 Suzuki GSX-8R Review | Video appeared first on Rider Magazine.
