BEST BIKE OF IT'S SEGMENT
I bought the GSR-8X about 4 months ago , mainly because I wanted a sportbike that could handle both daily commute and weekend trips . After test riding other bikes in this range , I felt that the Suzuki GSR-8X is the best , not too aggressive but definitely powerful enough to put a smile on my face every ride

I recently bought suzuki gsx
I recently bought suzuki gsx 8r , Brakes are brilliant with 14 ltrs tank and 810 mm seat height makes it a good perfomance bike. Came along with quick shifter it's a little stiff but motor is extremely define. It's like a autombot transformer. Acceleration is intense like it unleashes itself and blue color is eye cathing.

A hybrid monster
It's an absolute beast when it comes to the roads and it's pure sound is just mesmerising and it's power is way too good. It's definitely an eye catcher and since its a ducati made no compromise in any sorts of engine or design. Pure adrenaline rush at red line and a very exciting one to ride a lower rpms
