Suzuki GSX-8S a bang-for-buck streetfighter! | Road and track review | INFO MOTO

Suzuki’s all-new streetfighter brings modern tech at a competitive $14,190. Snag belted the living suitcase out of one through the Sunshine Coast and on the iconic Lakeside Raceway layout to answer one question. Is it up to the job? I’ve loved the street fighter category since it aggressively burst on to the bike scene in the mid-nineties. Tough, encouraging individuality, just bloody different. Who doesn’t like that in this cookie-cutter, don’t-say-that world? So, indeed, I welcomed the GSX-8S as a concept. Yes, the bike offers a degree of brave styling and a minimal, yet modern, approach at a reasonable price. It was with these scenes playing across this muddled mind as I boarded the big white bird to leave Melbourne’s hateable winter to land in the T-shirted, low-stress atmosphere of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. All to bung Suzi’s newest through its paces at the Aussie launch. Wonderful. What we like: • Bold styling • Smart tech • Value for money Room for improvement: • Rear shock pushed in hard going • Cruise control please For Australia's best motorcycle stories, head to infomoto.com.au Facebook: www.facebook.com/infomotoau/ Instagram: infomoto_au
