2025 Suzuki year code: M5

Suzuki Motor Corporation unveiled the all-new GSX-8T and GSX- 8TT street bike models on July 4 2025. Sales began in the summer of 2025 globally, primarily in Europe and North America. Suzuki says that the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are ”neo-retro street bikes” that combine the unique and attractive elements of Suzuki's past iconic models with modern design, incorporating the latest technology, engines, and chassis. They feature a round headlight inspired by the characteristic flat-bottom light that was commonly used in Suzuki’s past models, and handlebar-end mirrors, achieving a modern look while evoking a sense of retro. Both models are equipped with the same compact 775cc engine used in the GSX-8S/R models, and a high-rigidity steel frame, with a lightweight aluminum swingarm. The bikes are equipped with electronic control systems to assist riders, such as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ride by wire, and bi-directional quick-shift system, as well as a lithium-ion battery made by ELIIY Power. Suzuki says that the all-new GSX-8T is designed to bring to mind the design of the T500 Titan, a high-performance naked 2-stroke bike from the 1960s and 1970s. It features a color scheme that highlights the tank by making the rear of the body matte black, and a 3D-raised emblem on the shroud inspired by the eight ball, which symbolizes a decisive move in billiards, resulting in a design that is both retro and modern. The similar, but not identical, GSX-8TT features retro-styled headlight and under cowls, design inspired by 1970s road racers. The body color includes black front forks and shrouds, and gray seat rails, creating a color scheme that highlights the sporty accents of the wheels and decals. Suzuki states that the "TT" in the name stands for a combination of the base model GSX-8T with "Timeless", signifying the revival of classic bikes in a modern context. 2025 Suzuki GSX-8T color options: Metallic Mat Steel Green (QVP), Candy Burnt Gold (QSY), Metallic Mat Black (YKV)
