When the Suzuki GSX-8S was launched it instantly got lots of attention due to its looks and the fact it was a completely new bike from the ground up. As people got to ride it and the reviews came through that initial interest was being backed up with good comments about its riding characteristics. It was also very well priced too. I rode the bike for a few weeks and instantly enjoyed the whole experience, so following on from my initial thoughts video that I filmed with @tomboyabit I wanted to do a deeper dive into the GSX-8S and make some comparisons to its rivals. So is it the best new naked middleweight bike of 2023?
