    Hey all! I hope you enjoyed this video. This is the second Suzuki motorcycle featured on my channel, and once again, they did not disappoint. In the exploding market of these new-age middle-weight sport bikes, the GSX-8R gets my pick for being the best in the segment when it comes to standard features and delivering value at a price that makes sense when compared to the competition. While there are a few points Suzuki could make improvements, I am really happy with the overall outcome of this machine. I had a great time making the video, and would be happy to throw a leg back over one of these bikes in the future! What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
    Thank you for watching. Ride safe.

    I test rode this bike and was gonna purchase it.
    Then i stumbled upon the GSX-S1000GT and fell in love with it.

    Cool stuff Omni Dude! Suzuki always make great bikes! I’m a bit old for the 8R and it does look great! I just wish the rims were painted black with either the blue or yellow colours. They are on the black version.
    I’m stoked you got to test ride this version! So similar to the fabulous 8S.
    Just waiting on the 450MT now to play on dirt a bit! Enjoy summer & work on getting a bit of tan on your face😉😂😂
    Cheers!
    P.S. maybe I’ll surprise you at work one day!😎

      Thanks for popping in Steve! The new 776cc P-Twin from Suzuki is excellent thus far. No complaints from me on this machine - It really deserves much more attention when considering the rest of the competition.
      Hoping you get your 450MT soon!
      You're always welcome to stop in and visit in my neck of the woods stateside. 😎

    Sweet video Omni man keep up the good work! I really like the up and down quick shifter on this bike. That feature should come on EVERY bike made.
    Also just a fun fact, the Honda Goldwing has the idle up feature when releasing the clutch from a stop. What a sweet feature that is!

      I’m also a first time rider and was considering this as a first bike but I’m torn between this and a Mt07 that’s on for a killer price.
      I’ve heard this bikes speedometer is off by 5-6miles from the actual speed it’s going. Also have heard about vibrations in the handle bars.
      How has yours been?

    Nice review & bike. It's a great all round package & defies it's spec sheet when you ride it. Only thing I don't really like is the look of the handlebars but they are comfortable so not a deal breaker.

    noticed that your not wearing you new EOX helmet in your vids since your reveal. Your back wearing the 4.0, Don't rate it or??

    • @Omni_Moto
      @Omni_Moto  19 днів тому +1

      I have really enjoyed it so far but I also see areas for improvement. The EOX has several advantages/features that I like more than my Atlas 4.0, but my Atlas 4.0 has admirable traits as well that I do miss at times.
      In short, I need more time in the saddle with the EOX to rate and review it accurately.

      First time on 2-wheels ever and a true beginner? Probably not. Advanced beginner with some practice on 2-wheels? Sure!

    Why doesn’t Ruroc helmets invest as much in safety and R&D as they do with marketing?

      DOT and ECE 22.06 rated. Most helmets have the same rating. Where is the lack of investing in safety?

      @@Omni_Moto How about you try purchasing the helmet yourself before entering the comment section to defend your sponsored gear?
      In fact, ECE 22.06 is the minimum standard for selling in Europe. You literally can't sell in the US without DOT.
      So, your point is that your sponsored helmet meets the minimum threshold for being sold legally?
      If you tried formulating sensical points instead of signing for sponsored gear, you would've shut me up by now.

      @@DubMeDibbs You understand that the UA-camr who posted this video is sponsored by Ruroc?
      Google Ruroc helmet reviews. Most reviewers will have received their helmets directly from the company.
      To sponsor a significant number of websites and cheap UA-cam channels like this one, how significant of an investment do you think that is?
      Now compare it to how much you think they spend on R&D and safety? Isn't ECE 22.06 the minimum standard to be sold?
