The 2024 GSX-8R is a fully-fared, mid-size sportbike that blends everyday usability with aggressive styling and performance. Powered by a 776cc parallel-twin engine with a 270° crank, it offers good torque in lower revs while still able to rev higher for sporty rides. Ergonomics are sporty but manageable, electronics are modern, and the chassis and brakes are tuned for sharp handling.
