The new Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are based on the GSX-8R sportbike and V-Strom 800 DE that are on sale in India, but get major visual changes for the old-school flavour and a small technical change. Suzuki GSX-8T & GSX-8TT Neo-Retro Roadsters The new Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT bring the retro flavour in a muscular look. With round LED headlamps, sharply styled, chiselled fuel tank, flat handlebars, and more, the style game is on point, and the middleweight machines look the part of neo-retro roadsters. While the GSX-8T is a street-naked, the GSX-8TT differentiates itself as a cafe racer with a belly pan and a biking fairing covering the headlamp unit. The 8TT also gets a more premium seat. That said, the riding position remains the same on both bikes.

The engine develops 81.8 bhp and 78 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a bi-directional quickshifter. The bike is underpinned by the same tubular steel frame as the GSX-8R, while suspension duties are handled by USD front forks from KYB and a monoshock at the rear. Braking comes from Nissin-sourced units. Both bikes ride on 17-inch wheels with Dunlop RoadSport 2 tyres. While the new GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are nearly identical to Suzuki's larger 776 cc range, the neo-retro bikes get a larger 16.5-litre fuel tank. The GSX-8T weighs 201 kg, while the GSX-8TT weighs 203 kg, about 4 kg (8T) and 2 kg (8TT) less than the GSX-8R. The Suzuki GSX-8TT gets a bikini fairing and belly pan for a more cafe racer style. Both bike have an upright riding position Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT: Electronic Aids With respect to electronic aids, the Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are equipped with dual-channel ABS, switchable traction control, three riding modes, and a TFT console. Suzuki has not disclosed if it plans to bring the new 8T twins to India. However, considering the GSX-8R and V-Strom 800 DE are on sale in India, the neo-retro roadsters would be an interesting addition to the brand's premium lineup. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India.

Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Price, specs, and features compared
The Honda XL750 Transalp locks horns with the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE in the middleweight adventure touring segment in India. Check Offers The middleweight adventure touring segment has been gaining traction in India over the past few years, with an increasing number of models available on our shores. June 2025 sees the launch of two new offerings in the market. The all-new Honda XL750 Transalp was launched with an aggressive new design language, while the 2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE gets minor updates with OBD-2B compliance. While both motorcycles target long-distance capability, off-road usability, and feature-packed riding, they take slightly different approaches in terms of tuning, hardware, and rider experience. Here's a close look at how the two stack up. Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Design The XL750 Transalp draws its design from the larger Africa Twin, featuring a tall stance, aerodynamic visor, and dual LED projector headlamps. It's available in Ross White and Graphite Black, both paired with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup, aimed at serious trail work. In contrast, the 2025 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE retains its design while getting new paint options. The addition of Pearl Tech White with blue-spoked rims offers a clean, modern look, while the Champion Yellow No.2 and Glass Sparkle Black colour schemes have been carried over. Its wire-spoked wheels measure 21 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear, and the bike offers a 220 mm ground clearance. Also Read : MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago is a limited-edition 208 bhp tribute on two wheels Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Engine and Specifications The Transalp makes 90.5 bhp and 75 Nm of torque with its 755 cc parallel-twin. The V-Trom 800 DE makes slightly less power but more low-end torque. The Transalp is powered by a 755 cc parallel-twin with a 270-degree crank, producing 90.5 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm at 7,250 rpm. The power delivery is managed via Throttle-by-Wire and five selectable riding modes—Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and User—that tweak throttle response, traction control, ABS, and engine braking. The V-Strom 800 DE uses a slightly larger 776 cc parallel-twin, also with a 270-degree crank. Output stands at 83 bhp and 78 Nm of torque, making more low-end torque. Unlike the Transalp, the V-Strom pairs its ride-by-wire system with a bi-directional quickshifter as standard. Its rider modes and traction control system are bundled into Suzuki's Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), which includes a dedicated Gravel mode and switchable ABS, giving it similar off-road versatility. Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Chassis and Hardware While both use premium Showa components, the V-Strom 800 DE edges ahead on paper with 220 mm of travel at both ends. It features USD forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. The Honda XL750 Transalp also uses Showa 43 mm USD forks and a Pro-Link monoshock, but lacks the longer travel seen on the Suzuki. That said, the Transalp brings a lighter setup and an 18-inch rear wheel which allows for better off-road rideability. Braking hardware on both bikes includes dual disc front setups and single rear discs with dual-channel ABS. However, it is the V-Strom that allows the rider to switch off ABS at the rear. Also Read : Triumph Speed T4 gets a new Baja Orange Colour. Priced at ₹ 2.05 lakh Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Features The V-Strom 800 DE is packed with a wide range of features that include traction control, easy start, gravel mode, switchable ABS and more. Honda has equipped the XL750 Transalp with a 5.0-inch colour TFT display that is claimed to offer improved visibility under direct sunlight. It supports connectivity through the Honda RoadSync, allowing for media controls, navigation, and call/SMS alerts via the backlit switchgear. Riders can further toggle between five riding modes to adjust the bike's parameters for different conditions. The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE matches most while offering a bi-directional quickshifter as standard, which is available as an optional accessory on the Transalp. Features included within the S.I.R.S suite are the Suzuki Easy Start System, Low RPM Assist, and riding modes which include a dedicated 'Gravel' mode. Honda XL750 Transalp vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE: Pricing The Honda XL750 Transalp is priced at ₹ 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and is brought in as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) unit. The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE comes in at ₹ 10.30 lakh (ex-showroom) and is more competitively priced as it is brought via the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) route. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India.
