The 2026 Suzuki GSX-8TT takes everything we already know about the GSX-8S platform and wraps it in styling inspired by the classic GS1000S. In this review, Troy Siahaan breaks down what makes the 8TT feel familiar, what sets it apart, and why its retro-leaning design hits the right notes.
With slightly more relaxed ergonomics than the GSX-8S and the same mechanical package found across Suzuki’s modern 776cc parallel-twin lineup, the GSX-8TT delivers the approachable power, neutral handling, and everyday usability we’ve come to expect from the GSX-8 family. The question is whether the added style and comfort justify the price Suzuki is asking.
Watch as we put the GSX-8TT through its paces and decide whether this retro-themed middleweight earns its spot in Suzuki’s expanding lineup.
