  • The GSX-8R takes advantage of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System 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 and 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).
