GSX-8R

Suzuki's GSX-8R mounts the brand's all-new 776cc parallel-twin with 270-degree crank character in a fully-faired sport chassis with a bi-directional quickshifter and S.I.R.S. electronics suite. At $9,999 new it undercuts the CBR650R and Ninja 650 on price while offering comparable features, though the new platform means aftermarket parts availability is still growing.
