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 sport bike to Suzuki’s legacy of performance.
