We're starting off 2024 right with a First Ride that you guys have been asking for! Today I'm throwing a leg over Suzuki's 2024 GSX 8R. The sportier brother to the GSX 8S that I did a First Ride on later last year. With a full set of fairings, upgraded suspenion and a different body position will this bike have a chance and being better with the already incredible Suzuki GSX 8S? It's got the same engine and chassis so let's find out...with a ride!

Two questions Sir. One, were there any issues fitting cardo to the Ruroc Track? Two, since most everyone (self included) are getting the 4RR flashed, where would you compare it in same class of 650, R7, GXSR8, etc.?

Suzuki always waits to play their cards, and it always pays off. The entire new line up is stellar and im hoping they slap this tech on the other GSXRs. A new 750/1000 with that dash and QS would dominate the market.

@TheGolfCellar Ай бұрын

If they put this tech on the gsxr600/750. It would be the best selling bike instantly. I have a 2012 gsxr600 and an update is needed tech wise or at least give us the options.

@gleeriderjake357 5 ай бұрын

I think this is one of the best looking bikes to come out. Everyone wants to go balls to the wall all the time but if you’re not going to the track, these bikes are perfect for commuting and day trips to the twisties. Some people need to understand the usability of their bikes and their skills. As far as commuter bikes this thing looks sick and would be perfect. The other bikes that you have to ring out through the rpm’s aren’t fun because it’s rare that you actually get to ride at the limits of those bikes and if you do you’re risking losing your license and your ability to ride. I love to push it but I love to enjoy the ride more. I’m really stoked with bikes becoming more street oriented than these track missles that you barely get to leave second gear without committing felonies and risking losing it all.

@juanmejiagomez5514 5 ай бұрын

Personally I don’t like the fact that it looks disproportionately heavy on the front compared to the rear, I think the new cbr650r does the same job but looks way cooler. To be fair I’ve never been a fan if Suzuki’s design choices so maybe it’s just me

That yellow is insanely good looking and the overall package is just so complete looking.

I was in a major chain (RideNow Powersports) US dealer a couple of weeks ago that had 8R's ($9439) but also discounted 2024 8S's for $6999. Depending on where you live you may be able to get a similar deal and while I think you should buy what you think is the best deal for you that's a pretty big price difference for a very similar bike.

Damn ppl actually are into these new slow and cheap (manufacturers costs to make these bikes) and biy it?? Buy a real supersport bike man com'on mane! Get a cbr600rr or r6 or anything in the 600cc supersports class. But if you really wanna get these new slow bikes for leaners licence and restrictions in your country then i recommend the cbr650r. Inline 4 that is smooth and you can actually WOT and still be under 100mph 😂 rather than this or a r7 or w.e thats in their competitors that are 2 cylinders that will vibrate your balls 😅

Nice bike! I love my 8S but might very well have gone for the 8R if it was available at my time of purchase. So many of the 8S/8R videos show people winding the engine out trying to get max performance so credit to you Chase identifying short shifting as the most efficient way to ride this bike.

@zdwg3065 5 ай бұрын

I respectfully disagree with the Nice bike statement. The nose and headlights were simply pulled from the 8S and what worked good for the 8S does not work good for the 8R. Suzuki is known for some of the best iconic sport-bike headlights in the business from their GSXR series. In this case I see two flashlights glued into the black plastic that was extended down from the dash/odometer. The yellow does look nice though. If I were looking at purchasing this bike it would need to be the yellow color and I might be able to tolerate the head light failure. The rear stop light in the plastic fender is also a fail but that can be fixed with a tail tidy

@SuzukiC41 5 ай бұрын

Yup, short shifting is definitely the way. About to hit 4k miles on my 8S and no regrets

@richardwarsinske7064 5 ай бұрын

Of course looks are subjective but I find it interesting how little details can make such a big difference. While I like the looks of the 8R I agree the stacked headlight setup looks better on the S model but absolutely hate how it looks on the GSX-S1000.@@zdwg3065

💗 Nice review C2W....I think that the middle size bike segment is growing and the competition is driving the manufacturers to push out some pretty decent gear! Just a note to say I am pretty sure that there are some states (California, cough, cough) that require lights, and license plate, to be beyond the edge of the rear wheel, so not much Suzuki and others can do it., But a boon for the accessories industry! Which speaking of I wonder how robust the after market is for Suzuki stuff?

I get frustrated on the freeway because the bike maxes out at 81mph 🤣 and I can't play offense so I stay out of the fast lane most of the time.

Yellow definitely my favourite colour for it. I will be interested to see what tail tidies come out for it, desperately needs it. Lack of cruise is a big missed opportunity.

Like these new 800 platforms from Suzuki, but can't see myself upgrading from my (yellow) SV650 for a long while yet. Suzuki typically makes platforms to last, so I expect I'll have plenty of (slightly used) 8S, 8R, or 800DE, etc. to pick from when the time comes. Thanks for the review - everyone seems to think this engine is a winner, and that Suzuki is doing just enough tech at the price point to be successful. I hope so - my original bike is also a Suzuki (GSF400F Bandit from the 90s that I still have), so I'm a brand fan.
