JAKARTA - Suzuki will market its two newest street motorcycles named GSX-8T and GSX-8TT. Both are plotted as global products and are starting to be marketed this summer.

The two motorbikes will target various markets around the world, from Europe to North America.

It said on the official Suzuki website, Monday, July 7, these two variants feature a unique neo-retro design by combining the old design with the manufacturer's newest design.

This can be seen with Suzuki showing the headlights of a typical old motorcycle round that was used by the previous model and a rearview mirror attached to the tip of the handlebar.

The motorbike is also designed lighter and more agile with the presence of a high stiffness steel frame and low-weight swing arm.

At GSX-8T, this motorbike took inspiration from the legendary T500 in the 1960s mid-1900s. The two-wheeled vehicle has a color scheme that features the tank by making the back of the body black Badminton.

Not only that, but there was also a 3D emblem on the eight-ball-inspired tank cover, which symbolizes decisive steps in billiards, resulting in retro and modern designs.

Meanwhile, GSX-8TT has a front light covering inspired by racing motorbikes on the highway in the 1970s. The body color includes a front fork and a black cover, and a gray seat rail, creating premium and kalem color schemes that highlight sporty accents on wheels and stickers.

The name "TT" comes from a combination of GSX-8T with other letters "T" which means "Timeless" or timeless.

Despite some differences, both GSX-8T and GSX-8TT have 776 cc engines with DOHC 2-cylinder liquids that are claimed to have fuel savings reaching 23.8 km/liter.

Beyond its old designs, the bike has a number of advanced equipment such as the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), ride-by-wire, and a bidirectional quick shift.
