The Suzuki GSX-8T is a retro-styled middleweight that Suzuki Motor USA lists for the 2026 model year, drawing its inspiration from the Suzuki T500 Titan of the 1960s and 1970s. Suzuki says the aim was not to recreate the past but to reinterpret it with modern design sense, which shows in the flat-bottom mono-round headlight, a tuck-and-roll style seat, handlebar end mirrors that Suzuki calls a first for a modern Suzuki, and a brushed stainless-steel muffler cover. It uses the latest 776 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine from the GSX-8S and GSX-8R, with fuel injection, a bi-directional quick shift and traction control, and the 16.5 litre fuel tank gives it touring range. Suzuki states a curb weight of 201 kilograms, and the bike arrives in Candy Burnt Gold or Metallic Matte Black with three-dimensional 8T badges.
