Suzuki's 8T and 8TT modern retros have won a prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
The two new retro-inspired machines – based on the same platform as the award-winning GSX-8S and GSX-8R – take design cues from iconic models from Suzuki's back catalogue.
The 8T draws inspiration from the Suzuki T500, down to the headlight, tank, and seat style, while the 8TT is more than a subtle nod the 1979 GS1000S. Stylish 'bar end mirrors add another element of retro flair.
Though the designs are routed in the past, the underpinnings are thoroughly modern; there are selectable traction control settings and power modes, a colour TFT screen, and a bi-directional quickshifter as standard.
The 8T comes with an OTR price of £8,599, the 8TTis available for £8,999.
Suzuki Motor Corporation's Takashi Ise, commented, “We are honoured that the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT have received the prestigious Red Dot Award. Both models are neo-retro street bikes that appeal both the unique and attractive elements of Suzuki’s past iconic models, and modern performance. Designed to suit a wide range of riding situations, from everyday use to touring, they offer enjoyment to customers across diverse lifestyles. Suzuki upholds the corporate slogan of ‘By Your Side’ and will continue to make efforts to create products that satisfy our customers in both performance and design.”
Red Dot Design Award is an internationally recognised and prestigious design award that was established in 1955 and has been continuously presented to this day. It evaluates products based on nine comprehensive criteria including innovation, functionality, ergonomics, durability, ecological compatibility, and emotional content. The award was granted in recognition of the high evaluation of the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT for their precise transfer of classic visual features into a clearly structured, modern aesthetic.

For V-Strom 800DE and 800RE customers there is the added sweetener of free aluminium panniers.
Suzuki’s low-rate finance offer of 2.9% APR representative is available on both PCP and hire purchase deals on Suzuki’s GSX-S1000 naked, the GSX-S1000GT+ sports tourer, and the updated GSX-S1000GX+ crossover.

Suzuki’s new SV-7GX will be available from just £6,999 OTR when it arrives in dealerships this summer.
Revealed at Eicma in November, the 7GX – a new middleweight crossover in Suzuki’s range – gives the brand’s proven and well-loved middleweight V-twin engine a new lease of life. Updated to meet the latest Euro5+ emissions standards, it still delivers the same punch and characterful power delivery that has cemented its place as one of the greatest engines ever built. In the 7GX it gets a new magneto, transmission gears, a ride-by-wire throttle, and new exhaust.
That new ride-by-wire throttle enables the standard fitment bi-directional quickshifter, three traction control modes, and three power modes, with all information displayed via a colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity.
Taking design cues from the range-topping GSX-S1000GX+, the 7GX comes in four colour schemes, with a simple, crisp white version available with an OTR price of £6,999.
The metallic blue, greige, and black versions, adorned with extra decals and matching wheel colours, will come with an OTR price of £7,399.
Suzuki GB’s head of motorcycles, Jonathan Martin, commented, “We’re really pleased to be able to bring the 7GX to market at such a competitive price point and with a great spec sheet to match, which really reaffirms our commitment to value. We have obviously made a number of recent revisions to our pricing – including taking nearly £3,000 off the OTR price of the GSX-S1000GX+ – and I think this confirms to customers that those changes are not short-term, offer-led changes, but represent a genuine long-term shift.”

Suzuki has launched two new graphics kit options for its GSX-S1000 and GSX-8S models. They follow the launch of a kit for the GSX-8R last month.
Available from £160* for the 8S, and £250* for the GSX-S1000, the kits can be purchased from authorised Suzuki dealerships at point of sale or retrospectively, for existing customers that want to add something extra to their machines.
On the GSX-S1000 the wrap adds bold Suzuki branding to the side of the tank and radiator shrouds, with lines that flow from the seat unit to the front mudguard. The 8S’ sticker kit employs the same effect as the model’s own logo design, with broken chevrons running along the seat, tank, and side panels.
The £10,999 GSX-S1000 is currently available on a low-rate finance offer of 1.9% APR over a three-year PCP or HP deal. Buyers of the 8S will benefit from a £300 dealer deposit contribution, reducing the OTR price to just £7,999. Both come on Suzuki’s 10-year-warranty scheme.

To make it even easier for customers to put a new motorcycle in the garage this winter and prepare for the forthcoming spring, Suzuki has dropped the prices of a number of key models in its range, via a healthy dealer contribution.
Suzuki dealers will be offering a £1,000 deposit contribution on the GSX-S1000GT+ sports tourer, and the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT modern retros. There will also be a £300 contribution from authorised Suzuki retailers on the GSX-8S middleweight naked.
As a result, the £1,000 contribution reduces the OTR price of the GSX-S1000GT+ – complete with its standard-fit 36-litre panniers – to just £11,999. The 8TT drops to £8,999, and the 8TT to £8,599. The £300 contribution to the 8S makes it £7,999 OTR. The new OTR prices are available to both finance and cash buyers.
The 8T and 8TT pack Suzuki’s award-winning 776cc parallel twin engine into retro-inspired packages; the 8T takes inspiration from Suzuki’s T500, while the 8TT is a clear nod to the GS1000S. Along with the 8S, they feature a bi-directional quickshifter as standard and a choice of power modes and traction control settings. The punchy, torque-laden motor is wrapped in a steel frame with a separate bolt-on subframe.
All four models are also currently included in Suzuki's offer of free heated grips, which runs until the end of January 2026, and all come with up-to-10-year-warranty.
The price reduction further underlines Suzuki’s commitment to making it easier for customers to plan ahead and own a new motorcycle ready for the season ahead, following the reduction of its rate of finance on several other models in the range.

Suzuki has revealed a new SV-7GX, which was unveiled today at Eicma in Milan, Italy. The covers were also pulled off an updated GSX-S1000GX.
The SV-7GX uses an updated version of Suzuki’s proven – and somewhat legendary – 645cc V-twin engine, which is now fully-compliant with the latest Euro5+ emissions regulations. Peak power is 73PS and peak torque is 64Nm. Aiding efficiency and performance is a new magneto, transmission gears, airbox, a ride-by-wire throttle, and a new exhaust system.
As the GX suffix suggests, the SV-7GX will provide a middleweight sports crossover option in the Suzuki lineup, alongside the range-topping GSX-S1000GX.
A steel trellis frame is equipped with suspension from KYB, which provides a plush ride quality designed to make it easy to cover distance in comfort on the 7GX. The seat height remains accessible for a multitude of riders at 795mm. Wheels are new cast aluminium 17”, front and rear, and are shod with Pirelli Angel GT 2 tyres. They work with the chassis to provide the sport element to the new sports crossover. Tokico calipers and twin 290mm discs provide the stopping power.
Tall, wide, tapered aluminium ‘bars provide an upright and comfortable riding position, but place weight over the front tyre enough to generate feel and allow riders to enjoy the sporty side of the 7GX when away from the motorway or dual carriageways. Handguards come as standard.
On the electronics side, smartphone connectivity comes as standard and allows riders to access everything from maps to contacts and messages from intuitive switchgear on the left handlebar. All information is displayed via a colour TFT screen, which also indicates the selected throttle map, with three to choose from, as well as the chosen traction control setting, also with three to choose from, as well as off. There’s a USB-C charging port on the left hand side. The electronics package also includes a standard-fit bi-directional quickshifter for seamless up and down gear changes.
Wind-tunnel tested bodywork shields the rider from the worst of the elements and provides aerodynamic efficiency, with styling cues taken from the bigger GSX-S1000GX. There’s a 17.4-litre fuel tank. Lighting is full LED all round, with a new asaerial design at the front for improved illumination and visibility while cornering.
An accessories catalogue includes a 45-litre top box, soft panniers, tank bags, and heated grips.
Pricing for the SV-7GX will be announced in due course, with the arrival set for late summer, 2026.
Suzuki has also announced updates to the GSX-S1000GX. The ultimate sports crossover model – which was revealed at Eicma only two years ago – has received a round of subtle updates to further improve its performance as a motorcycle adept at both covering long distances in speed and comfort, as well as offering up sporting intentions when the rider wants to enjoy a more twisty, winding route.
A suite of changes includes the addition of new winglets to the GX’s fairing, improving downforce and enhancing stability at high speeds. Modifications to the mirror mountings reduce vibrations for clearer rearward visibility.
The GSX-S1000GX puts out 152PS and 106Nm of torque from its 999cc inline four-cylinder engine. A twin-spar aluminium frame and GSX-R-derived swingarm is suspended by semi-active electronic suspension from Showa.
A colour TFT screen shows selected modes of a plethora of rider aids, including seven IMU-governed traction control settings, and the ability to disengage entirely.
