Great little Video! Love your options about the 8S. Got mine as my first bike last weeks Wednesday after I passed my driving exam over here in Germany 😅 In driving school I got to drive the new Honda Hornet but bought the 8S blind. However I'm feeling waaay better on my 8S than I did on the Hornet. Would be interesting to see you driving that but its unfortunate that it is not available in your Country :/
Hey thanks for the comment, I’m so happy to hear someone from Germany has found my video. The 8S surprised me and it’s a great bike. Congratulations on your first bike you made an awesome choice.
I'm liking this sort of video from you bro..... Made me chuckle that you didn't change the settings for him on your bike. I bet he had a brown pants moment when twisting the throttle
@2WCapo that's awesome, I was looking at after-market exhaust and the Acropovic looks nice but it's 1500 bucks. Also after an hour of being on it my ass gets sore, so I'm lookin into different seats or the riding pants with butt armor. Other than that, it lives up to its name as a street fighter, for sure. Just fyi, I got the all blacked out version.
I’d love to hear how your friend is liking the transition from the Duke 390 to the gsx-8s. I have been riding a Duke 390 for over a year now and while I don’t want to get rid of it, I was thinking of getting a gsx-8s soon. Any major pros or cons that he noticed between the two bikes?
He’s told me that the 8S feels like a bigger better Duke 390. He said it’s very similar in most ways except there’s more power and more tech. Only negative would be it’s not as good on gas if that’s an issue for you but he said he loves the upgrade.
Appreciate your opinion coming from someone used to a much faster and more premium bike. To be honest the Honda Hornet is currently my first choice (without actually seeing one) but its starting to look like we won't see it in the US in 2024 and it sounds like I'd be equally happy the the GSX 8S anyway. Though price is not an issue I'm surprised at the good deals I'm already seeing on the GSX 8S that would actually make it a little less than the Hornet. Later today I'm going to a dealer that's supposed to have a black GSX 8S and one of the 2024's in gray (already seen the blue and white). We'll see what happens.
I saw all three of the current color schemes in person last weekend. The gray is very cool, and so is the black. This bike looks great in all of the color choices which should make purchasing one a bit easier. Thanks for the comment and good luck finding your next bike.
Having headsets to hear both of your reactions would have been cool! The GSXS sounds awesome !!
Nice review! Love these, and the new v-strom, Suzuki make excellent real-world bikes. Subbed, and you deserve more.

I bought mine 5 days ago. I love it.
Awesome congrats! My buddy just put an exhaust on his and is having the ecu flashed. I’m hoping to meet up with him and do a follow up review.

Agreed, small tank doesn’t help either.
