After the award given to the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE at the Alpen Masters 2023, which was named the best motorcycle in a mega comparison that encompassed the various segments and was subjected to a battery of highly demanding tests, it is now the turn of its sister, the Suzuki GSX-8S, to have its overall quality and performance recognized, having won the Naked Motorcycle of the Year award at the prestigious MCN Awards 2023.
These two awards give even more visibility to the excellence of Suzuki’s new platform, both in terms of its dynamic behavior and performance, as well as its overall quality, which places it very clearly as a benchmark in each of the segments.
In the particular case of the Suzuki GSX-8S, the award highlighted the fact that it is a motorcycle that meets all the requirements, being easy to use for beginners, suitable for everyday use, with excellent value for money and offering performance that also satisfies more experienced users.
Nicknamed by MCN as “the new queen of medium displacement”, the GSX-8S is known for its new parallel twin-cylinder engine and advanced electronic features. A Naked Street Fighter that has been winning over motorcycle enthusiasts all over the world and promises to continue to impress on the roads, elevating riding pleasure and fun without limits.
According to those responsible for the MCN Awards, “the GSX-8S is a motorcycle that doesn’t impress on paper, but motorcycles aren’t ridden on paper!”, a clear revisiting of the classic “The whole is much better than the sum of the parts, much better!”
The model, presented at the 2022 edition of EICMA, was launched in Europe in May 2023 and has been delighting all those who have chosen it as their motorcycle after seeing the features that now make it stand out.
Both models can still be tested at the brand’s network of official dealers throughout the country.
