Suzuki’s award-winning 8S gets a colour update for 2026, with a twist on the traditional Suzuki blue, an all-black, and a fresh red and black version now available.
The trademark Metallic Triton Blue option gets blue radiator shrouds and headlight cowl up front, while the tank and seat unit come in Glass Sparkle Black. The wheels are grey, as is the separate bolt-on subframe.
Glass Sparkle Black is paired with Metallic Matt Black in an understated all-black version, including wheels. The matt black on the radiator shrouds on the all-black iteration is also present on the shrouds, headlight cowling, and seat unit of the third livery, which is finished with a Candy Daring Red fuel tank, wheels, and decals.
The 8S uses Suzuki’s 776cc parallel twin engine, widely regarded for its abundance of torque and lowdown drive. There are three power modes, three traction control modes, and a bi-directional quickshifter as standard. All the information is displayed via a colour TFT screen, with full LED lighting all around, including the indicators.
