Suzuki Motor USA, LLC has announced its second wave of 2025 motorcycles, with the GSX-8R sportbike receiving new color and graphics options. MSRP for the 2025 model is listed at $9669.
Here is the press release from Suzuki…
GSX-8R – Styled by the artist’s pen and refined by the wind tunnel, the stunning GSX-8R provides an exciting fusion of sportbike appeal, performance, and riding pleasure. At the core is Suzuki’s new-generation parallel-twin 776cc DOHC engine with a responsive chassis built around it, creating the reassuring, reliable, and ready for action 8R.
Key GSX-8R Features
- The new for 2025, Metallic Matte Black No. 2 paint scheme, along with Suzuki’s hero Metallic Triton Blue, bright Pearl Ignite Yellow are available options for the 2025 GSX-8R – each featuring the unique graphics and font motif introduced by the GSX-8S that connect this mid-size sportbike to Suzuki’s legacy of performance.
- The GSX-8R is an exciting, fully faired Suzuki sportbike styled by the artist’s pen and refined by the wind tunnel. Propelled by Suzuki’s new-generation 776cc parallel-twin engine, the GSX-8R is fitted with a Showa® SFF-BP fork and matching rear shock for agile and sure handling that helps the GSX-8R be at the pinnacle of the middleweight sportbike category.
- GSX-8R riders will enjoy exceptional ergonomics like well-placed foot pegs, a comfortable seat, and forged aluminum separate handlebars that place the rider in a sporty riding position. That mild, forward-leaning position is shielded from wind sounds and buffeting by the sleek fairing and wind tunnel-developed windscreen.
- The ABS-equipped** NISSIN® radial-mounted four-piston brake calipers with dual 310mm front brake rotors provide the GSX-8R with stopping power. Dunlop® RoadSport 2 radial tires (120/70ZR17 at the front; 180/55ZR17 at the rear) are designed for the GSX-8R to deliver the right combination of agility and grip.
- The GSX-8R’s compact 776cc parallel-twin engine uses a 270-degree firing order for strong torque production and is equipped with Suzuki’s exclusive Cross Balancer system for smooth operation. Suzuki’s Clutch Assist System (SCAS) smooths shifting and engine braking while shifting has never been easier with the standard Bi-directional Quick Shift System.
- The GSX-8R takes advantage of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) suite of electronic rider aids that include a three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the four-mode Advanced Traction Control System* plus the popular Easy Start & Low RPM Assist systems. It is easy to track the GSX-8R’s performance through its full-color five-inch TFT LCD instrument panel which has the best format in its class.
- A variety of Suzuki Genuine Accessories are available for the GSX-8R, such as a solo seat cowl, billet clutch and brake levers, fuel tank, and engine cover protectors, clip-on tank bags, plus a selection of Suzuki logo apparel. 12-month, unlimited mileage limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).
