Description
RETRO SPIRIT, NEXT GENERATION PERFORMANCE.
Drawn by designers in Italy and further sculpted in Japan, the 8T evokes the charm of classic bikes from the 70s and 80s, including the iconic Suzuki T500.
NEXT GENERATION PERFORMANCE
While classically-inspired bodywork captures the retro spirit, next generation performance comes from Suzuki's newest engine, famed for its character and flexibility, offering strong, predictable drive from the very bottom of the rev range.
RETRO SPIRIT
The 8T leans heavily into Suzuki's history and heritage, capturing the spirit of classic bikes and the timeless design of the 60s and 70s.
T500 INSPIRED
A timeless design, complete with round headlight and sculpted fuel tank pay direct homage to Suzuki's iconic T500 from 1979.
AUTHENTIC FUEL TANK
A 16.5 litre fuel tank is faithfully reminiscent of fuel tank design of the 1960s and 1970s, with a refined finish to the welding seams and flowing lines akin to the classic T500, with a beautifully sculpted form.
