Like you mentioned, the ergos make it really attractive for those of us who can't really enjoy a traditional sport bike but want that style. It gives folks who want a sport bike but need something closer to naked bike ergos a great option.

@TSTindustries 4 месяца назад

Yes the stock ergos are more relaxed than traditional supersports. When building a race bike out of an OE machine all of the controls get replaced anyway so I think Suzuki made the right choice to just make the stock bike a bit more upright. Serves a larger demopgraphic and cuts cost of the stock machine. -BR

You perfectly stated how I feel about it. I'm young and all, but for the type of riding I do right now, I want the fun and looks of a sport bike with the comfort and ergonomics of a naked bike.

@englishsteel-nz6im 4 месяца назад

Bike responds really well to a tune and full exhaust, somebody noted +12 HP. Nice bump over the R7 gets you into RS660 territory + won't break like the RS660 lol

@TSTindustries 4 месяца назад

We've seen some pretty impressive numbers so far for this platform and are just getting started! We've seen 90+ with minimal modifications. A thinner head gasket, some race gas, and some internal components can bump this to the 100+ mark. - Mark

@180FiftyFive 4 месяца назад

its funny that no one mentions torque on the MT07/R7 is still noticeably higher than all the bikes in this category, not just peak but across the entire rev range. Better than RS660, SV650, CBR650, Ninja 650... With the lower weight and suspension/chassis geometry you feel that higher torque more as well

With our TST V1 intake system, a full exhaust, and our tune we are seeing about a 10hp increase at the peak, with all other areas north of 5500rpm vastly improved also. Cartridges are coming but i have a suspicion that the R model will be focused on first.

@TSTindustries 4 месяца назад

Here is a fun idea for you... Fly down to Daytona Beach for bike week. Suzuki will have both the S and the R models available for test ride, along with the rest of their product lineup. You can accomplish the goal of test riding the bike, then take in Daytona 200 and the other MotoAmerica classes that will be racing. Check out Superscross, connect with a bunch of like minded people, and perhaps attend some motorcycle parties on Main St. Whatcha think? -BR

"The diameter of the outer fork tubes is different." Size difference? Different brand? Would be helpful for a video like this.

The forks are both different brand, and different outer diameter at bottom clamp, as well as different internals. Even If the numbers are provided, what makes this actually helpful?

Per the Suzuki website, the 8R has SHOWA front forks and the 8S seems to have KYB. We do plan on taking both to the track and riding them back to back to tell if the change in suspension makes a noticeable difference - Mark

Just my opinion but Yamaha's MT-07 and CP2 engine are getting a bit long in the tooth, yet it doesn't seem like they're getting significantly updated anytime soon. Oh well, guess we're about to see a bunch of 8Rs trample over R7s, Suzuki bros are gonna love it.

@TSTindustries 4 месяца назад

Honestly, I'm just as shocked that Yamaha hasn't redesigned or improved the MT-07 or the CP2. Why not make something good even better? Either way, Suzuki is primed to take the lead if it proves to be a strong competitor on the track and if sales for the street continue to support it. - Mark

"Supersport". What does the GSX8R have to do with Supersport and why should it, it's not even trying or pretending to be one. It's a Sports bike, not Supersports, a description of road legal race bikes. It has a fairing so it has to rev to 16k rpm or it's not a true Supersports, well, thankfully it does not and it's not. And that's why it's going to sell like crazy, because most riders would love themselves a Sports bike they can ride fast and enjoy and not break either their neck or their back, instead of a crazed maniac that feels completely out of it's element unless it's going flat out on perfect roads at insane/suicidal speeds.

@TSTindustries 4 месяца назад

"Enough" is a subjective term so I can't really answer in short. I can give you my perspective though. I am 45 years old and have handled enough noise for three lifetimes. I tend to like bikes less lound nowadays. When I do track days or races I now use earplugs. For me the Akra has a nice tone but I would like it a bit less loud. If you ask one of those guys that want all eyes on them at all times you will probably hear that it's a bit quiet. Toce sent us a system of theirs for testing. If you want loud that is the one to go with. -BR
