Suzuki has just unveiled two stylish additions to its GSX‑8 line-up: the GSX‑8T and GSX‑8TT. Revealed on July 4, 2025, both models combine retro inspiration with modern engineering, and will be hitting European and North American roads this summer (Global Suzuki).

Retro Vibes, Modern Performance

These neo‑retro street bikes feature a round LED headlight, bar‑end mirrors, and a tuck‑and‑roll seat—classic design cues lifted from Suzuki legends like the 1960s T500 Titan and 1970s GS1000S (Global Suzuki). Under the skin, they share the same 776 cc parallel‑twin engine with 270° crank found in the GSX‑8S/R—delivering a punchy 81 hp and 77 Nm of torque (bikes.suzuki.co.uk).

Two Styles With Distinct Personality

GSX‑8T: A clean, naked-roadster design with a matte rear, vibrant tank colors, and an 8-ball inspired emblem—meant to evoke the classic T500 Titan (Global Suzuki).
GSX‑8TT: A “Timeless Titan” tribute, featuring a front headlight cowl and underbelly fairing reminiscent of 1970s GS1000 road racers, plus a more aggressive riding stance (EMobility+).

Both models ride on a high-rigidity steel frame, aluminum swingarm, and KYB suspension, with twin 310 mm front discs and traction control—all backed by Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SDMS, quick-shift, ride-by-wire, traction modes, low RPM assist) (bikes.suzuki.co.uk).
