GSX-8S

Suzuki's GSX-8S puts the brand's 776cc parallel-twin with a 270-degree firing order into the middleweight naked class — the same torquey engine as the GSX-8R in a minimalist streetfighter chassis with S.I.R.S. electronics at $9,249. The platform launched in 2023 and long-term reliability data is still building; this is a value-focused modern naked for buyers who want 270-degree character at a lower price than the MT-07.
