FINALLY a 2024 Suzuki GSX8R Gets UNRESTRICTED 

Well said mate

While I do agree with you, I’m not a good enough rider to out ride even a 600, but 75hp out of the box is pretty rubbish. My cbr 600 that I had when I was 17 was 110hp. It’s definitely a beginner bike.

@@ThomasSchmiedhuber-el6hrneeded to remember that bike is a 2 cylinder vs 4 cylinders with cbr 600, and as we know the cbr is a screamer engine with i guess an overbore engine

Some people can't count to 2 or 4, apparently.

​@@ThomasSchmiedhuber-el6hr I don't think you're considering that 1. That was the cbrs claimed power, not actual, more like 94 ( my 2007 made 94 wheel ) also 2. The transmission. This bike is made to be ridden in traffic and the transmission is geared for usable power in real world application. Your cbr was made to rev every gear and make power high.

I like the good old 4 cylinder gixxer better :D Like K8 :)

lol what

First of all, its no where near a "beast". Second, there is no torque in that thing, lol 50 something :D

bro, were you paid?

​@elreino69 my carbed shitbox from 2005 makes more torque at idle than the gsx8r makes at peak

The airbox mods also help a lot too. I know with the stacks and the airbox mod the highest seen numbers are 90 whp, with a much smaller gain down low to get those high end gains. The most even gains seem to be with the stock stacks with just the airbox mods, 86-88 whp from what I’ve seen…

@@sleeper.simulant7327 Yep, 86-88 whp is what I've seen too. Just have to free up the intake side. I suspect over the next couple years, depending on how the model does, someone will have cams for it and I could see near 100 whp happening.

9 out 10 tuners would never tune a bike by each cylinder I know very well tell you every lie etc not to do it that way

@@K-carbon Then those tuners don't know what the hoot they are doing, especially when you run different length velocity stacks on each throttle body. A cylinder with a short VS needs a different fuel map vs. a cylinder with a longer VS. Just how it is. I'm aware some manufacturers run 2 short and 2 long on a four cylinder (Z900 was doing this) to attempt to broaden power, yet the fuel needs of each cylinder is different running different length VS. The pressure impulse in the airbox doesn't change the speed of sound or timing, but the engine's intake valve opening does change the speed (hence having optimal power at a given RPM), and without variable valve timing, it's more or less fixed.

Just get a 10-year old S/S if ANY manufacturer to do numbers better than this P.O.S. A K1 with 988cc’s does better then this (23-years old now btw)….plus for 5K$ for a decent one is a no-brainer. Maybe a good move if you’re coming from a Honda Grom….junk these parallel twins are. At least a 1998 Suzuki TLR 90* V-Twin has 135hp and 80lb tq, from a bike that’s been gone since 2003 ffs.🤦 stock OEM numbers too I may add….just as LAME as Yamaha’s R7/R9….looks faster than it is, same as this one…..

Man, my dad had a TL1000R that I’ve been trying to track down and buy back for the last few years. Good memories riding on the back of that thing.

Classic

I love my TLR. Wouldn't sell it for the world. It does remind me of it for sure. Same gear driven cam sound too. I wish the TLR had that tranny gear whine.

I wonder where you are going to ride it. Not like you can keep inline 4 at least going 10k in the city - or even on the road. Screamers disappeared for a reason - you can't really enjoy them without putting yourself in grave danger. Literally a fraction of inline 4 owners bring their bikes to track. So yeah you can admire those bikes but twins are immensely more practical and fun in day to day usage. And you still can bring this thing on a track and compete.

We are going to look into getting one.

I like the grey and red better.

@@jxstified7558I got the silver and red wheel one and I wish it was glossy. Atleast the tank. Love it tho

White and red.

@@durango2nj Better be careful all these litre bike douche bags will start bashing on you because their track bike is faster lol

I agree, Chris gives a great run down on the info ahead....

I think it was 127 with the stock gearing.

It would still be too rich based off the fuel numbers.

No, it mostly comes from the increase in volume which we translate to speed. I'm with you on the rest of it.

It's insane comfortable.

Yes it does. The torque is always there it's very snappy

Stock air box

I want to build another but I can’t afford it and it’s gotta be fast for me too have fun really I’ve been 200mph I only want more. But I’m a dying man so I just wanna feel it all again feel alive one more time after all this chemo and crap and things just happening again but worse I just wanna ride again some when I feel well enough. I never will again tho that’s for sure I got too many reasons and responsibilities I guess I dunno. I just wish I could get my last ride my last wish with a bike of my dreams. I know I’ll never be able to afford or ride again tho this is me. Until I fall I’ll prolly never be back on a bike again I just wish I could. I also got injuries make sportbikes hard now but only if I could still ride I would skate down the rode walking on the side of some guys bikes just for fun again. I used to line those dudes I would walk on there bike literally at like 155 lol. They would be amazed and back off think ima kill em I think lol. But yea I miss it so much been awhile since I had my last liter bike. I will always love riding and the therapy it brought me. I never been the same since I stopped riding when my health declined due to cancer. Unfortunately my cancer may be coming back so I don’t think it’s in my future again. I just miss it alot I guess. RIP to all the fallen riders I’ve known miss you all. Be careful out there guys love the whole community.

I have a 390. It is a surprise to me. Not very fast but good enough. Fuelx pro. Cruse control. 70mph all day.

I’m just wondering been long time since a got a good piggyback or flash.

Of course not, you only need to make sure the rear is strapped down so the tire doesn't slip.

Same engine but I am not certain of any tune differences from the factory. I want to flash my 8S but the cash for a new exhaust and velocity stacks is a bit much right now.

ehh? UK has some of the record holder tuners. Big CCs Racing for example have 1000+bhp busas 😂 Litteraly every record is owned by UK tuned bikes.
