Suzuki GSX-8S - First Ride Impressions with Tomboy-a-bit

Not one, but two Suzuki GSX-8S in this video as I meet up with tomboy_a_bit to give an initial impression of Suzuki's newest middleweight naked bike. The GSX-8S is an all-new motorcycle with a 776cc parallel twin that offers very good mid-range torque. We took the two Suzuki GSX-8S bikes out for a joint ride, and then spent a little time chatting through our initial thoughts.

Sadly, for some reason the original upload was only available in a max resolution of 720p !? So this is the same video but now in glorious 4K, but that's over 4000 views up the swanny! If you watched the last one, i'd appreciate you clicking and watching it again please! (here's a tip, you don't have to stay in front of the screen 😉)

Can’t wait to get mine. Cool cyberpunk looks, it’s fresh.

I enjoyed this collaboration just as much the second time 😉! Certainly worth doing again if the opportunity presents itself 👍. It is nice to see Suzuki come out with something entirely new, although I think they get a lot of unwarranted hate for not bringing out as many new models as some of the competitors, what they do is to continue to refine their bikes, and then apply that without any fanfare.

That helmet looks great. I have it in Matt black but that grey looks fabulous

Great collab, really enjoyed it. I collected my GSX 8S last Friday. It is amazing around town with easy handling and all that torque. Very stable in corners on the twists. Loving it!

Glad you explained why you put the same video up again, I was getting worried about your memory for s split second. Just as good second time round.

Hi Tony, great video. Thank you. What have you got on the top left and right sides of your X3?

Full resolution now mate! 🙂

Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated. In showed on my control panel as being SD HD and 4K, but when I watched it via a different device the best option was 720p. Very strange!

I really wish Suzuki would make a GSX-8GT… That would be the ideal everyday bike for me.

You can get this for about £6500 which seems like a bargain
