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.
