Pros Cons of Suzuki GSX-8R

Pros

Its parallel-twin engine makes over 80 bhp and delivers its grunt lower down the rev range.
The predictable power delivery makes it approachable for riders stepping up to their first big bike.
It has a non-adjustable suspension setup that soaks up slow-speed bumps while keeping high speed runs stable.
Excellent fit and finish with tight panel gaps and neat machining.
It has three ride modes alongside four traction control settings that include a full ‘off’ mode.
Its compact front windscreen cleanly directs airflow over the rider.
The sticky 120-section front and 180-section rear tyre substantially aids in cornering stability.

Cons

Brakes start losing bite and progression once speeds rise and needs you to use extra lever pressure.
At 205 kg, its weight is noticeable when manoeuvring at slow speeds.
Switching into the sharpest ride mode makes its throttle response snappy.
With 145 mm of ground clearance, it needs you to be cautious over larger speed breakers.

Verdict

The Suzuki GSX-8R strikes a unique balance between daily usability and open-road touring. Its flexible parallel-twin engine has a forgiving but rich power band that makes it an easy motorcycle to live with, day in and day out.

Yes, we admit that the vague high-speed brake bite and a lack of complex electronic aids will mean it may not satisfy track-focused purists. However, if you want a fast, practical, and approachable middleweight sports tourer that manages city traffic and highway blasts equally well, this motorcycle should be on your list.

Verdict

The Ducati Scrambler range is the most affordable range of motorcycles that you can buy from the Italian manufacturer. Uber-cool neo-retro design, decent performance and new upgrades, make the Scrambler a cool and premium urban motorcycle. The 2023 Ducati Scrambler is now four kg lighter, gets a new 4.3-inch TFT digital console along with full LED lighting and an updated rider aids suite.
