Deliveries to Suzuki dealerships of the new GSX-8S will start next week. The wait is over, the street fighter completes the series of launches of Hamamatsu's 2023 novelties, which began with the V-Strom 650 Explorer and continued with the V-Strom 1050 MY23 range and with the adventurous V-Strom 800DE. With the latter, the GSX-8S shares the technical platform, which has as its main element an innovative parallel twin-cylinder engine with 270° crank mechanism with exceptional efficiency.The GSX-8S plays a strategic role for Suzuki, because it enters as an absolute protagonist in what is one of the most important and lively segments of the market, that of mid-engined naked bikes. The GSX-8S is placed halfway between the timeless SV650 and the gritty GSX-S950 and GSX-S1000, with which it shows a certain family feeling in terms of aesthetics.The new street fighter marks an evolution of Hamamatsu's most recent stylistic features and adopts essential superstructures that express dynamism. The pointed top fairing, with overlapping LED headlights, position lights and arrows, together with the 14-litre tank and side scoops, contrasts with the minimalist tail and the short and compact exhaust terminal, to make the bike appear leaning forward and ready to shoot.With their streamlined shapes, the superstructures leave both the mechanics and the frame and seat post structure visible, made with a tubular steel trellis.The light and compact engine is a 776 cm3 parallel twin with DOHC DOHC distribution and four valves per cylinder. The technicians have chosen a configuration that manages to combine a generous throw from low revs and a lot of vivacity in the long run with extraordinary efficiency. Maximum torque is 78 Nm at 6,800 rpm, while peak power is 61 kW (83 hp) at 8,500 rpm, with consumption of 4.2 l/100 km in the WMTC mixed cycle. The bike is also available in a depowered 35 kW (48 hp) version for A2 license holders.
20 years after the launch of the first V-STROM, Suzuki continues to expand and develop the range of its Sports Adventure Tourers.Today it presents the new V-STROM 800SE, which evolves the technical package into a more road-oriented one. With alloy wheels, 19-inch front wheel and specific chassis dimensions, this version offers a different balance between comfort, driving pleasure and practicality.With its characteristics, the V-STROM 800SE offers exemplary behavior both in long-range tourism, even with a passenger and fully loaded, and in daily journeys in urban areas. If the new V-STROM 800SE brings versatility of use to a new dimension, credit also goes to the advanced electronic systems that support the rider in many riding situations and to first-rate standard equipment.The new V-STROM 800SE is modern and reworks the typical stylistic features with which Suzuki revolutionized the world of motorcycle design and which is enhanced by the brand new colour: Lisbon Green.
During this month of March, the Suzuki news is arriving rapidly at the official dealership network. After the debut of the V-Strom 1050 MY23 range and V-Strom 650 Explorer in the showrooms, it is now the turn of the adventurous V-Strom 800DE.This bike plays a key role for Suzuki. On the one hand, the V-Strom 800DE is at the heart of the Sport Enduro Tourer family, slotting between the dynamic V-Strom 650 (XT and Explorer) and the new arrivals V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE. On the other hand, it marks the market entry of a new platform, also shared with the GSX-8S, a street fighter expected to be on the road in a short time.

In 1984 Suzuki amazed enthusiasts from all over the world with its single-cylinder Enduro DR 600 S which immediately set the benchmark for performance and style, a model which subsequently increased in displacement and became legend with the Djebel version dedicated to adventure, through a clear reference to the Paris-Dakar and to the mountains (in Arabic the word Djebel identifies the mountain ranges typical of Tunisia and specifically the second highest peak of the same country) of the African deserts where the exciting rallies of the 80s and 90s were held.The legendary DR 650 R Djebel was equipped with an off-road setup and showed off a livery that has remained in history: the same attitude and the same graphics are now proposed in the new Suzuki V-STROM 800DE Djebel, presented by the Italian branch of the Hamamatsu company at Motor Bike Expo 2024 and now the protagonist of an emotional video (click here) which expresses its versatility and off-road aptitude beyond the heritage of a historical model.The V-STROM 800DE Djebel inherits the propensity for exploration and the ability to have fun on any terrain.Compared to the V-STROM 800DE version, the Djebel version is enriched with the Akrapovič exhaust terminal in titanium/carbon, while the tires are the Dunlop Trailmax Raid*, with an aggressive look and a more off-road destination than the Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour of the V -STROM 800DE, while the iconic graphics of the DR 650 R Djebel are made entirely in paint.The new V-STROM 800DE Djebel is available until 06/30/2024 and can only be ordered through the Suzuki Web Store, at the list price of 13,900 Euro.
