Suzuki GSX-8S

Suzuki GSX-8S, 2023-on Suzuki built its 776cc twin for strong low-end and midrange drive rather than headline peak power, which is exactly what real roads reward. A balancer shaft tames the 270-degree power pulses, so vibration never intrudes, and the standard up and down quickshifter shifts cleanly every time. The wide, supportive seat and a riding position that balances wind pressure up to about 80 mph make it one of the better highway options here, and it topped a German magazine test of naked bikes up to 100 hp in 2025. At 202 kg it is heavier than the MT-07 or Hornet, the non-adjustable suspension gets choppy over bumps, and the 14-liter tank and thirsty engine limit range.
