You get so much more with a Suzuki. It's a no-brainer. I already have the GSX-S1000. It's a great bike.

I'm a Suzuki and Yamaha fan because they make all their bikes in Japan. Suzuki 100%, Yamaha is larger and makes some models outside of Japan but probably 75% are. I'm looking at replacing my ancient Suzuki GS450 with a XT250. The MT07 and GSX8S are looking mighty fine though.

I think the Suzuki is an awesome bike, I currently ride a Drz400s so I love the brand already but I'd go with the MT07. I do all my own maintenance so a simpler bike with throttle by cable is big, plus 40lbs lighter!

GSX-8S in the all blacked out design looks insane. I'm not a huge fan of the blue and white colors, it looks a bit "toy-like" in those colors imo. The blacked out version is sick, and with that sweet engine and lightweight feel + suzuki reliability.. whats not to love? I own the GSX-S1000 2022 in blue and I love it, but theres no doubt this GSX-8S is superior for hooning around town. Sick bike!

You definitely get more for your money with the Suzuki, 40lbs more! That said, I would probably go with the Suzuki just based on looks. Plus inverted forks and a quick shifter. I like it.

I would have to go for the Suzuki for the white/blue color scheme. They are both very comparable but I think I would prefer the added features on the Suzuki.

As an older returning rider Yamaha XSR700 has my attention yet, Suzuki GSX 8S is my preference because of conveniences and safety features. Thanks.

I would go for the 8S because #1 I have loved every Suzuki I've owned. #2 I think the longer wheelbase, more torque. a little more weight will give it the edge in versatility for sport touring-packing gear and hitting the road. Looks bad ass too!

I just seen the new Suzuki gsx 8S on the dyno, and it has a nice power curve. Gets to peak power fast, and holds it right to red line. I thought that was pretty impressive.

Hey CC, that Suzuki looks really good, and btw I like these kinds of videos, great job! And for a second I thought there is a chance you might want to try Suzuki.. Stay safe!

Don't count out the Honda CB750 Hornet guys.

My preference is for a more “raw” feeling versus rider aides. I’m all for options and it’s always neat to see new engines in the fray. Between the MT and the GSX-S, I think I’d prefer the MT. Just as a personal note, I know 270-crank P-twins are all the rage, but I’d rather go for an older SV650 or GSX-S 750 with an inline 4 when it comes to soundtrack. At any rate, I think the GSXS will be a great ride, and I’d like to try one out one day.

@cyclecruza what is your average mpg on your mt07? I got a mt07 2021 and am getting 48 mpg average is that normal lol?

I don’t think it looks better….it looks great for a Suzuki, since they release a new bike every 30 years.

What’s your thoughts on the royal enfields?

The 8s is the replacement for the GSXS 750. I have one of those. So comparing the two I have to say it is impressive. The ABS version I have cost $300 more than the 8s. The 8s is only a $100 increase from the base 750 with more power and all of the features. It is also lighter. My bike is 470 lbs. Mine does have traction control, but that is it. Also the 750s only came with halogen headlights in the states which are absolute trash. So in my opinion the new 8s is significantly more enticing. Not sure how the change from inline 4 to the dual v twin will compare though. That would be something to experience.

U can't really judge which is better till you've rode em both bak to bak , but a good comparison video cc 🏍💨👍

After getting actual dyno numbers and doing the math the Suzuki and Yamaha have almost identical power to weight numbers so I'd expect them to accelerate about the same. Also skeptical about the Suzuki's ability to reach that 145mph top speed. With stock gearing its power peak is in the 125-130mph range and output fades fairly quickly after that + even if ideally geared I don't think the Suzuki's 76 actual HP max would be enough to reach that kind of speed on a naked bike.

Suzuki performance specs are good, the looks are good. The question is does it loose the fun factor at 465 pounds (whatever it was you said). I would think you get used to it after 2 weeks. And a top speed of 140mph, that's not bad, even though I love to cruise easy at 60-63 but to haul ass once in awhile is nice

It looks similar but much better than Mt07 and is more powerful, not so cheap. I hate the BMW style taillight on Suzuki. You should get Suzuki while it's new and do a comparison for fresh content. Then you can sell the one that you like less and you will not lose money on this. That's how I would do it

The Suzuki gives more features does that mean less control for the rider? Basically I prefer the MT 07 but wait when you were in the rain was it the tyres? Or are you just a good rider?

I think the suzuki looks good. But I'll wait to purchase as it is a brand new model with a new engine, don't like to buy first model year of a bike. I already have a Mt07 so for now I'm good.

Hey CC, i prefer your mt-07 over the Suzuki 👍Nice video Thanks 👍

I did all the same mods as you on my 2022 mt07 plus the R6 throttle mod. Look it up brother, it's a cheap mod super worth it!

In The Netherlands the GSX-8S is 10k and MT07 is 8500 euros.

Could be a great bike my problem is that it looks exactly like the Duke and the new Honda Hornet.

Suzuki no hesitation. Would like to hear thoughts on any ergonomic differences. Comfort one vs. the other.

I just bought one and i have to wait, till its here… It feels like an eternety! I get the black version! Cant wait! Such a good bike! Mt07 is still a great bike! I tested both. But this time its suzuki for me

yes cable throttle is always better

Dammit, another contender. Torn between the Duke 790, MT-07 and now this!

Please tell me there is a way to get the brake light tucked up onto the back of the 8S. WTF were they thinking sticking it on that long ass plastic arm?!?

CylceCruza I'm moving to Florida next month man. What should I get for my first bike to learn how to ride down there? SuperSquid?

That’s a lot of power!

You need to ride the 2023 765 street tripple

Still love my 2016 FZ 07

Cool bikes!

The 2023 MT07 has a new upgraded full color display. Another thing not mentioned is resale value. Suzuki makes a good bike, but in terms of resale the MT07 will hold its value better. MT07 for the win!

CycleCruza MT-07 and Sv650 are considered at the top range of beginner+ bikes by many riders. Do you think the gsx 8s would be in that range too or too much ?

I have a deposit down on a Blue GSX/8S trading in or selling my 2016 Vstrom 1000. Will let you know How I like it. My wife has a 2020 SV 650 and my daughter has a 2022 Z 650 haven't ridden an MT-09 yet. I'm in the Pittsburgh area when it get's in maybe you can have a spin.

Similarly equipped with a quick-shifter, slipper clutch (R7 parts), and factoring in the extra $150 Yamaha charges for shipping both bikes are about equal in price so considering all the other extras you get with the Suzuki on paper it's a much better deal. Suzuki's extra 8hp (comparative dyno results) is nice but probably mostly cancelled out by the extra 40ibs it carries around. Suzuki does come with MUCH BETTER brakes though and European tests rate its handling superior to the MT07. The one major thing I've not seen from all the GSX 8S reviews is the gleeful enthusiastic rider response from the test rides. Reading between the lines I'm thinking the MT07 may still have the Suzuki beat in "fun factor". Personally I'm waiting till next year for a new bike when I can get my current favorite Honda Hornet (not for sale in US for 2023) that has already proven to be much better than the MT07 (+18hp/7ft lbs, better suspended/handling, better BRAKES, looks IMO, and a lower price) and seems to match or better the Yamaha for tester fun factor. Likely Yamaha will also be forced to upgrading the current MT07 to stay competitive so will be interested to see what they come up with to counter Honda!

As a MT-07 2022 owner.. i miss the hornet 750 in this vid.

MT07 is a dinosaur now. I'd go Suzuki for sure

What interests me is the need cross balancer tech so its not so vibratey

The GSX 8S has 83 hp and not 81, between the GSX 8S and the MT07 there are 10 hp in favor of the Suzuki, but the horsepower is not important but it is essential to look at the engine's output. The new engine of the GSX 8S is a lot of fun on the road because it works very well at both low and medium speeds and its torque of 78 Nm already available at 6,500 rpm makes the bike very fun and always ready. I have tried both bikes and for me the GSX 8S is superior in every way. Riding the GSX 8S gives you the impression of riding a superior category bike because it has a beautiful engine that is always ready where it is really needed on the road. It is very well assembled and refined. well and is very stable thanks to its cycling heights and its very communicative front end which gives a lot of safety. 

Color wise, people at the stealership say the cyan is the jealousy color. They're just not here man. I almost got a mt07 and ended up going clutch on a mt03. The color hits different bro.

The 2023 MT-07 has an assist and slipper clutch in the European version.

GSX 8s is much better in every way, I’ve own both of them and for me it’s a easy choice🤘🏼 Hope the reliability on the 8s is as good as the mt07

I been thinking of trading in my sv650 for the 800 but last time I sold my sv650 I regretted it and bought another

Yeah I hate drive by wire I prefer a cable

I have an FZ-07 and I wouldn't trade it in on the Suzuki. I might give the Suzuki a look if I didn't have a bike already. I prefer the colors on the Suzuki, but I prefer the looks of the Yamaha.

Have you test ridden the Suzuki?

Go do a test ride review my friend... Take it to Omaha and see if the chicks think its cool. :)

So for me it's like: for the tech addicted youth you need the suzuki. For an experienced Rider that"s not tech addicted and wants a pure ride you need the yamaha 😅 Both have a cool, young design and look well. Fact is the more electronic, the more expensive the repair will be. And more Electronic may is more what can fail. Hope u know what i mean. Greatings from germany

Chassis, suspension, brakes, roominess for larger riders, enough electronic doodads..... The nod goes to the Suzuki for being an adult machine with enough power to keep a person happy a long time. TBW is great for the reason it's easily programmed with an ECU flash to behave any way you want it, and future-proof for anything the manufacturer would like to incorporate later, such as IMU based ABS or TC, and a cruise control. Otherwise I'm ambivalent about it. Yamaha had some very rotten TBW on the MT-09 before the new 890cc version came out which got it fixed (action, spring tension, feel, throttle control, etc), but now Suzuki takes the lead on TFT clarity over anything Yamaha is doing with their tiny Apple-watch-like screen.

I agree with you, I don't need all the driver assist aids, so I'd go with the yamaha

You don't buy MT07 for features, you get it for pure uninterrupted fun. If MT07 would get rider modes I would look for other bike, maybe SV650 if they still make it when I ever need to switch from my 2014 mt.

Theres some riders that think more hp is the Best bike . But with that belief. Only Hyabusa Would sell . Not true the best motorcycle is the one you can afford and Currently riding. Like you said in a previous video. If you can afford it . Have multiple motorcycles. I have a ninja and a. Dual sport. Love them both. You ahve a great attitude even while Some riders are rude . I just do a friendly keep the wheels down wave and move on .

Can’t understand this bike. It replaces the Gsxs750 which has 120 horsepower and weighs about the same. Great brakes and suspension and it seems like no one in the U.S. bought one besides me. It will smoke an MT-07 and run all day with a MT-09.

Ugh not another bike with that tiny projector lens. From a safety perspective? It's a HUGE fail for manufacturers to do this. Looks cool, but other motorists can't see you coming.

Looks like Suzuki really upped the Game.. I don't think either of those bikes will even come close to their claimed top speeds.. Stock MT-07 Forks are like Pogo sticks..

I've looked at both motorcycles, the GSX-8s and the MT-07, and I've made my decision to go with the GSX. It's not because it's significantly better or anything, but as someone who stands at 6'1, I feel that the MT-07 is just a tad too small for me. On the other hand, the GSX feels like the perfect fit. It might be a trick of the mind, but that's how it feels to me. Moreover, I believe that the additional cost of the GSX is well worth it, considering the extra power and advanced features it offers.

don't forget to include the new 2023 Honda Hornet 750 with a parallel twin engine which has even more horsepower than this suzuki gsx-8s

Hey cycle cruza people be saying the safety gear is not needed and even I saw a comment in one of your old videos cycle cruza saying things like ,,, for the price of a gear they can buy a new bike ,,, I just saw yesterday that a motorcycle dude died last month in the states don't know exactly where somewhere in CA I think BEN MADDOX WAY,,,or maybe it's another incident I saw a post on Instagram ,,, Like the kinda rider gear you wear is absolutely necessary ,,, that air bag vest can save you ,,, people don't get the seriousness of these things ,,,and also in india I heard a youruber names pro rider 1000 died like 3 or 4 days ago on a zx10r ,,, its crazy outthere my man cycle cruza Be safe 💙💙💙

Naked bikes have only recently started to pique my interest, and I really grew a liking to the Z1000, only to learn it's been discontinued.

I like rider modes.

I have a feeling this suzuki is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Full exhaust flash and tune. REplacing the stock plumbing with aftermarket probably shaves over 10lbs. It's a much bigger bike than the mto7. That exhaust looks massive under the bike (euro6 ready)

Only way you're going to find out is to buy one and ride back to back on the daily. 😂

Bruh put some effort into this shit and find a bike to borrow for the video 😂

Suzuki is better. So is the Hornet...

MT07 on akra Ti is love.................

The weight isn't an issue. My ZZ14R is almost 600 lbs but once you're rolling you don't feel it. I like a cable throttle...you can put a cable on it. They look small for a grown man's size.

Idk about that electronic throttle man

The one thing that makes me not interested in the 8S is the weight. It weighs more than my SV650.

Your throttle hand is not your rider aid, your clutch is ! What happens when you fecked up with your throttle? Well simple, your clutch hand will save your butt.

The Mt07 is a very good bike but I like the fact that Suzuki is trying something new instead of using dinosaurs engine and design. I thing you should test ride one and also the hornet and than can decide if the Mt07 is the best for you. You can be surprise you didn’t like sumo before…

So.... Suzuki's better at pretty much everything, but YOU prefer your MT-07. Honest review.

The better bike is the Honda Hornet 🐝.

MT07 looks better... Braaap!!!

I am a great admirer of Suzuki. They’re like me. Do one thing right ahead of time and don’t get caught on the rat race no matter what others do. Suzuki doesn’t care about updating their bikes, because, hey why fix it if it ain’t broke. However mt07 is better, because it’s fun without technologies. I mean traction control rider modes blah blah blah on a semi-middleweight two cylinder! Come on it’s killing the pure fun.

Maybe you should ride the GSX-8S before making conclusions....

😴 wake me up when Suzuki puts that engine in a bike to compete with the Yamaha T7

It's too heavy. No LED indicators. No cruise control. (No reason not to have one since it's ride-by-wire) They changed to that ugly baby blue instead of the nice dark metallic blue.

I like the way the mt07 looks way better

Better looks??? The MT07 still looks better. That front side fairing awful

I hate that it is a copy of the KTM Duke.

Suzuki for the win

Illiteracy is not cool.

idk man i think the mt07 looks better. i think its a better bike tried and true tested.

KTM 790 Duke

Next video from CycleCruza, “Why I bought the Suzuki GSX-8S” 🤣

New bike, new engine, very heavy for a 2023 naked and looks even worse than the MT-07... If Suzuki I'd get the 1000cc naked with the bulletproof inline engine or even the legendary SV650.
