At the heart of the new GSX-8R is the 776cc parallel twin engine – which it shares with the
GSX-8S – with its long stroke and 270° crankshaft design providing an abundance of low-down
torque, usability, and flexibility, while a free-revving nature comes from a DOHC and four
valves per cylinder. Peak torque is 78 Nm, delivered at 6,800rpm, with peak power of 82.9PS
coming at 8,500rpm. The 270° crankshaft also provides a power delivery, character, and
rumble reminiscent of Suzuki’s much-lauded V-twin ranges, while a patented cross balancer
design ensures a smoothness, as well as aiding in a compact, lightweight engine design.
All of that is housed in a steel frame engineered for direct handling characteristics. Those
handling characteristics are further enhanced by low, forged aluminium handlebars that
provide positive control and a sporty riding position, placing more of the rider’s weight over
the front wheel. Bolted into the rear of the steel frame is a lightweight aluminium subframe
and lightweight aluminium swingarm. Dealing with the increased weight bias towards the front,
Showa provides the suspension, with SFF-BP* (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) inverted
forks and monoshock in the rear. Mounted radially to the forks are Nissin four-piston calipers,
providing stopping power by biting 310mm discs. Tyres are Dunlop Roadsport 2s.
