Suzuki Launch new GSX-8T and GSX-8TT Retro Naked Twins

[Ecosseven]

Suzuki have announced 2 new retro naked bikes based on the GSX-8S platform.

Look good in my opinion and should suit the torque rich engine. Link to MCN story below.

I wouldn't call them retro looking.

Whilst i do agree it’s not triumph bonneville/royal enfield interceptor, it does fit into the “neo retro” segment alongside bikes such as the XSR/Ducati scrambler/FTR1200

The faired one is very 80s...which is 40 years ago. It's also bloody ugly. The naked is a bit better but whilst a classic 'retro' like an Interceptor or Scrambler is pretty, one wonders what the market for these is?

Prices look quite punchy as well. the 'T' is £9,599 OTR where as the '8S' is currently being offered at £7,499 (includes an £800 discount). The only technical differences as far as I can see are LED indicators and a UBC charging port. The engine, gearbox, suspension, frame, brakes, are all the same.

I quite like the styling of the 'T' but don't think it's as nice as a Kawasaki 900RS.

They look quite similar to a lot of the middleweight Chinese nakeds to me, like CFMoto 700 CL
