776cc Parallel Twin | 61kW | Virtually New Naked Roadster | Albany, Western Australia
This is your chance to own an essentially brand-new 2024 Suzuki GSX-8S at a used bike price. With less than 500km covered, this GSX-8S is barely run-in and ready to deliver versatile naked bike performance. Combining aggressive roadster styling with the torquey 776cc parallel twin, premium Showa suspension, and comprehensive electronics, the GSX-8S redefines the middleweight naked category.
Why the Suzuki GSX-8S is Special
The GSX-8S represents Suzuki’s modern approach to naked bike design—powerful enough to excite, versatile enough for daily riding, and sophisticated enough for weekend canyon runs. At just 202kg with 61kW of power and a massive 78Nm of torque, it delivers genuine performance in a comfortable, upright riding position. Whether you’re carving through the Porongurup hills, commuting through Albany, or planning a spirited ride along the Great Southern coast, the GSX-8S adapts effortlessly.
The 270-degree parallel twin delivers V-twin character with modern efficiency, while the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System provides trackday-worthy electronics at a fraction of the cost of European rivals. This is the naked roadster that doesn’t compromise.
776cc Parallel Twin Excellence
Suzuki’s all-new 776cc DOHC parallel twin engine uses a 270-degree crankshaft configuration that creates a distinctive V-twin-like power delivery and exhaust note. Peak power of 61kW arrives at 8,500rpm, but it’s the 78Nm of torque at just 6,800rpm that defines the riding experience. Strong, usable power from 4,000rpm through the midrange makes overtaking effortless and canyon carving addictive.
The patented Suzuki Cross Balancer system employs two balancers positioned at 90 degrees to the crankshaft, creating exceptionally smooth operation while maintaining a compact, lightweight engine design. Electronic fuel injection ensures crisp throttle response, while the Suzuki Clutch Assist System reduces lever effort and improves shift quality.
Premium Chassis and Suspension
The GSX-8S features Showa’s premium SFF-BP inverted front fork—the same technology used on Suzuki’s sportbikes. With 140mm of travel and precise damping, it delivers confidence-inspiring feedback whether you’re navigating Albany’s streets or attacking coastal corners. The matching Showa rear shock with adjustable preload ensures balanced handling and excellent traction.
Dual 310mm front discs with radial Nissin four-piston calipers provide powerful braking, while ABS ensures control in all conditions. Dunlop Roadsport 2 radial tyres deliver the perfect balance of grip and feedback for both daily riding and spirited weekend runs.
Electronics That Enhance, Not Intimidate
The Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) puts sophisticated electronics at your fingertips. Three power modes (A, B, C) adjust throttle response from aggressive to gentle, switchable on the fly. Three-stage traction control manages rear wheel spin, with Mode 1 allowing controlled slides for experienced riders and Mode 3 maximising traction in wet conditions. The bi-directional quickshifter enables clutchless up and downshifts, perfect for maintaining momentum through corners.
The crisp 5-inch full-colour TFT display shows all essential information clearly, with intuitive controls on the left handlebar. Low RPM Assist and Easy Start function round out the electronics package, making the GSX-8S as easy to live with as it is exciting to ride.
