JAKARTA - Suzuki inaugurated the launch of a special edition of the GSX-8R called 'Kiiro' for the British market. This motorbike is presented specifically so that it has a number of differences with other types.

Reported by MotorcycleNews, Monday, April 14, this one motorcycle is specially designed because it has a striking black and yellow combined scheme that replaces the standard black, silver, and blue colors.

The color scheme adjusts the name of this first edition, namely Kiiro. The name 'Kiiro' on GSX-8R means 'kuning' in Japanese.

This motorbike is also packaged with a striking black '8R' logo, complete with a gray aluminum rim and subframe. Then, the front screen in the driver's position has a pink color.

In addition, the aspects that distinguish it from other types are the single seat hood, the aluminum billet lever from Gilles, the tank pad, and the dual-tone color seat complete with the GSX logo.

The Suzuki GXS-8R also has the same number of equipment as other types, such as the presence of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) braking with a four-piston double front brake counter combined with the disc brake on the back.

Then, the control is supported by a Hitachi Astemo SFF-BP suspension and a monoshock that can be pre-loaded from Showa with a seat height of 810 mm and a fuel tank of up to 14 liters.

The engine itself has not changed by maintaining a liquid-cooled parallel-twin configuration with a capacity of 776 cc DOHC which produces 82 power phones at 8,500 rpm and 78 Nm torque at 6,800 rpm.

It is equipped with a Suzuki Clunch Assist System (SCAS) system that reduces power in the coupling lever, functions to deliver power to the rear wheels through six-speed gyrboks and a final chain driver.
