We're starting off 2024 right with a First Ride that you guys have been asking for! Today I'm throwing a leg over Suzuki's 2024 GSX 8R. The sportier brother to the GSX 8S that I did a First Ride on later last year. With a full set of fairings, upgraded suspenion and a different body position will this bike have a chance and being better with the already incredible Suzuki GSX 8S? It's got the same engine and chassis so let's find out...with a ride!

Two questions Sir. One, were there any issues fitting cardo to the Ruroc Track? Two, since most everyone (self included) are getting the 4RR flashed, where would you compare it in same class of 650, R7, GXSR8, etc.?
I love those gloves, you have the link for em yet?
I think this is one of the best looking bikes to come out. Everyone wants to go balls to the wall all the time but if you’re not going to the track, these bikes are perfect for commuting and day trips to the twisties. Some people need to understand the usability of their bikes and their skills. As far as commuter bikes this thing looks sick and would be perfect. The other bikes that you have to ring out through the rpm’s aren’t fun because it’s rare that you actually get to ride at the limits of those bikes and if you do you’re risking losing your license and your ability to ride. I love to push it but I love to enjoy the ride more. I’m really stoked with bikes becoming more street oriented than these track missles that you barely get to leave second gear without committing felonies and risking losing it all.
Personally I don’t like the fact that it looks disproportionately heavy on the front compared to the rear, I think the new cbr650r does the same job but looks way cooler. To be fair I’ve never been a fan if Suzuki’s design choices so maybe it’s just me
⬆️ this is exactly how I describe my 8th gen VFR800. This Suzuki definitely catches my eye, though. Very cool bike
Lmao. 😂 You mean to say that you lack ability and skills to ride fast and safely. Who cares about the law!? Get a Grom.
I agree but 100hp should be the bench mark..
It's literally a GSX-8S with a jacket on 😒
Suzuki always waits to play their cards, and it always pays off. The entire new line up is stellar and im hoping they slap this tech on the other GSXRs. A new 750/1000 with that dash and QS would dominate the market.
If they put this tech on the gsxr600/750. It would be the best selling bike instantly. I have a 2012 gsxr600 and an update is needed tech wise or at least give us the options.
after not doing anything for years suzuki, just killing it with their recent releases
since they released the suzuki gixxer 150 back in 2015-2016 in india, suzuki has been doing a great job, but they only thing they lack is a 400-500 cc bike in the market
Tst industries is actually making tail deletes that put the brake up in the top and also have other mount styles too.
Shhhhh 😂
Alt title:
Chase rides a Japanese banana
arguably a better title
banana bike :) nice
Not "a" japanese banana. THE Japanese banana.
Pause...lol
I went today to look at a yellow one ..... and I gotta say until you see that blue in person it’s just okay , but man that blue is nice.
Suzuki did it. The knocked it our the park with this bike. It’s sexy and practical. It’s looks like a street scalpel. Narrow and streamlined.
Don't forget slow, heavy and sounds like a small old Harley
@JK-wz7uj Disagree on all fronts. Depends on what you want out of it, I guess. It rips, personally
I understand why they're going away but man do I miss seeing middleweight inline 4s instead of parallel twins in 7-800 class bikes
They still sell the 750.
@@jordanjoestar8839 yes, suzuki is basically the only one anymore
Look into the Honda cbr650r
@@Slayer66037Great engines, those 650 inline 4s. CB650R is also super cool.
@jordanjoestar8839 they don't sell it most of the rest of the sadly.
I took a shot every time Chase said “I’m here for it” 🤣
Irritating when UA-camrs get caught up on one phrase. Basically a filler for when there’s nothing to be said and thinking of the next line. Similar to umm. Hopefully he takes note.
I appreciate it because he's just being himself. Better than yammienoob, who constantly says one thing then contradicts himself 30 seconds later @florme6494
For comfort I love my F-3S Spyder! The 1330 Rotax is plenty of power. After I had a stroke I thought my biking days were over. My balance is gone, but the 3 wheeler is awesome. I have been a biker my whole life and thought my ridding days were over! NOPE I’m back in the wind!!!
@@101BadBreath cool!!! I love mine!! Feels like I’m driving a formula 1 race car! Great handling and Quick too!
I’ll bet the 1330 is no slouch!
Was waiting for this vid ❤
Enjoyed this one.❤ let’s go 2024 first rides!
Been waiting for this vid!
That GSX-8R looks amazing. Now all it really needs is a tail tidy and a great sounding exhaust! Nothing else to add to this beauty.
Thanks for your review. Just got my 2024 GSX-8S and am loving it!
Damn. You got that killer yellow color. Thats exactly what I want. Man that looks amazing.
Awesome yellow/black combination for this cool bike, thanks!
Man I love these new bikes
Whole new classes obtained
Pick mine up tomorrow, hella hype!!!!
Thank you for the review. I’m loving my 2024 Suzuki GSX-8S! ❤
Great review! 🧡
Ahhhh can’t wait for mine to show up at the end of the month!!
Very entertaining and informative review. I am in the market for a bike and this one is on my short list.
Been waiting for this vid to lend itself to my confirmation bias!!! Will be mine in a few months.
Great review on the GSX 8R❤
Good stuff! ❤thank you 🎉
I was looking for a first bike and stumbled upon this from finding something I was comfortable with. I also loved the yellow color a lot!
Chase, being a local to Georgia, and having followed your channel for a couple of years, I am excited to be able to purchase my first motorcycle this upcoming summer. Thank you for the constant, high-quality videos, that you put out always pushing me and keeping me interested in motorcycles. Will forever be a fan.
What are you getting I’m either getting as my first bike gxsr8r or Daytona 660 or rs660 or cbr650r or r7
love the look of the 8R! can't wait to get one. ❤
Man, I just saw one of these in person yesterday and it looks phenomenal!
OC: man I was thinking 8S to level up into from my 390 Duke at the end of this riding season but I might cough up the extra pennies for the 8R. That yellow is insanely good looking and the overall package is just so complete looking. The kind of machine that you can go crazy with in the canyons and even do some longer distance riding but also ride to work/school calmly. Banger first ride as always ❤️
Definitely the 8R…I love my Duke 390 BUT I always regretted not getting the RC 390 strictly for the protection the fairings provide 🤷🏼♂️
I was in a major chain (RideNow Powersports) US dealer a couple of weeks ago that had 8R's ($9439) but also discounted 2024 8S's for $6999. Depending on where you live you may be able to get a similar deal and while I think you should buy what you think is the best deal for you that's a pretty big price difference for a very similar bike.
Damn ppl actually are into these new slow and cheap (manufacturers costs to make these bikes) and biy it?? Buy a real supersport bike man com'on mane! Get a cbr600rr or r6 or anything in the 600cc supersports class.
But if you really wanna get these new slow bikes for leaners licence and restrictions in your country then i recommend the cbr650r. Inline 4 that is smooth and you can actually WOT and still be under 100mph 😂 rather than this or a r7 or w.e thats in their competitors that are 2 cylinders that will vibrate your balls 😅
Awesome review on this bike. Making me think about an 8R honestly❤
I'd love to get my hands on one of those, I've just tested the new 800DE. I love the new engine, sooo smooth and Torqy TC to 1 and Curve to A for the road 😁.
that body position reminds me of the old 90's suzuki GSXF across.
awesome video mate.
I am very excited for this bike! My first bike was a 2004 SV650s, and this is a great replacement for it. ❤ - OC!
♥ Yes I would pay extra for the 8R. I love that Suzuki has nailed it with these 800 engines in all categories.
The integrated windscreen, colors (yel/Blck my choice), lines etc. Bravo Suzuki!!! Great video btw!
Waiting for the link to those gloves you're wearing.
OC the 8r is the way to go vs 8s. That yellow is just so nice. It's a very nice bike and should be enjoyable for years to come. Great next bike I think
OC: The 8R sounds more in tune with what I want, but *damn* did I fall in love with the 8S look. I hope its the same for the 8R when i see it in person. Love these 2 bikes ❤
Owned an R7, This bike beats it out 100%. Shocked Suzuki actually made something competitive for once
I don’t mind rear fenders. People are not paying attention. You need all the help being seen you get get. Big thumbs up on the vid Chase.
One problem to me is the rear light. It is lower than it be if it was installed to tail of the bike. So this installation actually makes you less visible.
@getty6974 TST industries has already fixed that issue and made a beautiful integrated tail light
@@getty6974I would like a test of this assertion.
I like not having water up my back when I am caught in the rain. I'take the tail.
they’re so ugly.
I'm here for it!
Yellow is the way. This new model kind of reminds me of my old sv1000s.
6:34 the yellow black reminds me of the gsx-r bikes that had yellow and with chrome wheels, looks really sporty but that gsxs style rider triangle looks good and comfy. Reminds me of the gsxs-1000s
Excellent video, new sub!! ❤
I like the Yellow. But the blue is the best color
Beautiful bike! And the yellow is badass
second in!, have been waiting for this review as well, that yellow looks faster than the blue, my second bike (a Buell Blast) was yellow and I dig the yellow
Looks like a great bike!! ❤
The s1k rev at the start🔥🔥
Never seen a GXR look so good
Great Video! Just bought the Blue 8R today. delivery in a few days. Last bike was a 2003 Bandit 12S. Had to get back in after a 17 year hiatus. ❤
That’s awesome, the blue looks so good.
Having bike envy now that I just purchased one. Would’ve waited for this 😅 love the look of this bike. Seems like a good mix of comfort and a sporty style. I wanted the 8s but couldn’t stand the front end look. This is exactly what I was lookin for.
I literally just bought this bike today same colorway and all from Mt Motorsport in Roswell really good service
I'm definitely going to have to go ride this bike.
Excellent review. This is one of the best offerings in the middleweight class. I can see myself gladly parting with the extra money over the 8S.
Im obsessed with the yellow but that blue was really pretty too 👀 ❤
I also think it’s cool how the front of the bike has an X, idk if y’all see it or not😂😂 and I agree I’m here for the stacked headlights..
OC: ❤ the teachers definitely grew on me the more i liked at them. Was not expecting you to say it was comfortable to ride tho lol😅
Probably my next bike. ❤
Nice bike! I love my 8S but might very well have gone for the 8R if it was available at my time of purchase. So many of the 8S/8R videos show people winding the engine out trying to get max performance so credit to you Chase identifying short shifting as the most efficient way to ride this bike.
I respectfully disagree with the Nice bike statement. The nose and headlights were simply pulled from the 8S and what worked good for the 8S does not work good for the 8R. Suzuki is known for some of the best iconic sport-bike headlights in the business from their GSXR series. In this case I see two flashlights glued into the black plastic that was extended down from the dash/odometer.
The yellow does look nice though. If I were looking at purchasing this bike it would need to be the yellow color and I might be able to tolerate the head light failure. The rear stop light in the plastic fender is also a fail but that can be fixed with a tail tidy
Yup, short shifting is definitely the way. About to hit 4k miles on my 8S and no regrets
Of course looks are subjective but I find it interesting how little details can make such a big difference. While I like the looks of the 8R I agree the stacked headlight setup looks better on the S model but absolutely hate how it looks on the GSX-S1000.@@zdwg3065
@@zdwg3065I had a yellow 2003 600RR. It was a cop catcher. Just fyi, even when I was doing nothing wrong.
This is the exact bike I'm looking for. Something you can depend on for highway riding and a bike that is extremely comfortable. Priced pretty good too compared to something like an R7.
Has the constant construction you navigate through in every video got any better my gosh iv never seen so much road work.
Thank you Chase, Im looking for another bike for the garage and this is now at the top of my list. Kawasaki ninja 650 ergos with better power and sound. Im loving the yellow too.
Look no further 👍
Looks really good I would ride this all day around the cities compared to a 600
This bike in person looks fantastic, great detail, looks substantial and in no way cheap or budget. Oh and I’m glad to have watched this video because I was thinking of buying one but really wasn’t crazy about the “only 75 hp“. Good to hear that in your opinion it’s got really good power. I don’t need tons, but I own a Tuono V4 and a Ninja 400, the Tuono has way more power than I need, but the ninja 400 is not enough.
Yellow definitely my favourite colour for it. I will be interested to see what tail tidies come out for it, desperately needs it. Lack of cruise is a big missed opportunity. Everyone compares this to r7 but the cbr650r seems like the more direct competitor to me with the seating position, would be interesting to see a heads up review.
Title for this should simply be “I’m here for it” with the amount of times you use that phrase lol
Are you here for it? I’m here for it. Did you hear how here for it he is for it? ❤️
Conflicted between this, the new cbr 600rr, the rs660 or the ducati v2 ❤️ going to be doing some track days too with a friend 🤷♂️
Like these new 800 platforms from Suzuki, but can't see myself upgrading from my (yellow) SV650 for a long while yet. Suzuki typically makes platforms to last, so I expect I'll have plenty of (slightly used) 8S, 8R, or 800DE, etc. to pick from when the time comes. Thanks for the review - everyone seems to think this engine is a winner, and that Suzuki is doing just enough tech at the price point to be successful. I hope so - my original bike is also a Suzuki (GSF400F Bandit from the 90s that I still have), so I'm a brand fan.
Glad the R rides well, I'm considering it as a VFR replacement if bags and a touring screen start showing up on the aftermarket
💗 Nice review C2W....I think that the middle size bike segment is growing and the competition is driving the manufacturers to push out some pretty decent gear!
Just a note to say I am pretty sure that there are some states (California, cough, cough) that require lights, and license plate, to be beyond the edge of the rear wheel, so not much Suzuki and others can do it., But a boon for the accessories industry!
Which speaking of I wonder how robust the after market is for Suzuki stuff?
I know they've been doing them for years now but, I guess I'm still not used to the size changes they done on motorcycles. It used to be for decades everything was in 1/8 or 1/4 liter I.E. 50, 80, 125, 250, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 650, 750, 1000. I guess now they filled in all the gaps with 300, 390, 636, 700, 800, 900, etc. I'm sure I missed several sizes as I don't follow motorcycles as much as I did years ago. I still ride but, only have the old school RD400 and new XR150L. The XR is actually fund to ride in my 60's. My last sport bike was an '05 Buell XB12 SCG which handled really great in my opinion considering it didn't have top shelf suspension parts. Had so much torque I could do a dead stopped 5th gear burnout at 3500 RPM.
Emission laws, that is why the engine sizes have changes drastically.
Really, the numbering system in names meant little in real relation to engine size unless it was a race class with requirements. Otherwise, they were rounding up and down all the time.
@@ws8080 No, the numbers typically were related to the engine size but, the sizes were not rounded up and down like the modern bike. Someone else commented on it being because of emissions and I suppose I can buy that. They rarely had single digits to indicate engine sizes like GSX-8 or MT-7, MT-9 etc. They typically had the full size like 700 or 750. All I was pointing out is an observation for someone who has been riding for over 45 years that I'm not used to it since I don't follow bikes as much as I used to. I still ride but, I could care less about every new model that comes out like I did when I was younger.. My RD400 is not called an RD4 thankfully.
I just bought one today!
I just got the gray/red version this week.
I love the yellow!
I thought nothing would sway me from the Ninja line, but this...this got me thinking of trading up.
OC - Really hoping to see this engine in a DR800 soon. 💜
Here for it meter was almost full for this one 😄
You skipping your way to the bike to rev it made me legit laugh out loud! 😅👌
Aside from that plastic crane at the back i really like the looks of this, you picked the perfect color for it as well! 👍
Remember watching you motovloging on your yellow Sv650S years ago and now riding the next-gen with the same banana colour is kinda cool. It’s like a jump in the future 😂
OC:❤ Damn I'm here for the 8R, NEVER thought I'd say that about any Suzuki. I love the Yellow and honestly hate the blue variant. I like the headlight and maybe a more flush mount side turn signals so they don't stick out so much. I've yet to ride one of these but definitely gotta swing by Mountain. Can't believe I'm into a Suzuki this much.
I'm picking mines up this morning....been up all night 😂😂😂
LETS GOOOOO FIRST FIRST RIDE OF THE YEAR
awesome bike
I love it
I work at a motorcycle delearship and suzuki just put a stop sale on the gsxr R for some mandatory recall on the chain.
❤ this review makes me want to trade in my 22 GSXS 750z for the 8R and I just bought it 8 months ago 😂
Love yellow for motorcycles, my first 3 Ninja 250's were all yellow.
He's here for it
I have the GSX-8R, it’s my first bike - I don’t know how other brand bikes feel like but mine is perfect.
Wow, I was loving it until I looked up the weight 452 lbs. Seat height was good for me too at 31.9. I've been off my Ducati Super Sports S for almost two years now.
Guarantee you can shed a bunch off with the exhuast. Those are always extremely heavy stock due to all the enviroment laws
Thanks
Finally a review with the yellow. If I were to get an 8r, it would definitely be yellow. Now im wondering if we’d be able to push these things to 100hp.
I saw a video on yt not too long ago where someone broke 100hp on the 8s with a tune/flash, intake, and exhaust. I’m excited to see more of these hit the streets
Cool bike!
💛 My first car was yellow, my first Suzuki was also a yellow SV.
I have a yellow SV650 right now.....
I think I still like the V twin too much to upgrade to these new 800 platforms, but maybe someday.
@@ws8080I still have my SV it just is no longer yellow. Its a track bike now and the yellow parts have been retired for red ones for the HP boost.
lol hearing that racer revving in the background after you start that 2 cyl sounding joke made .. my .. day.
It is the GSX8ater!
Nice looking bike ❤
Love the GIXXER-8R
nice colour. 24:55 you would want "Arrow" exhaust.
Thank you so much for the 40-80 timer!
❤ Much Respect Chase❤
