Suzuki GSX-8TT: Neo-Retro Performance Review & Test Ride! 🏍️
On this beautiful, glorious day in Vermont, Annick takes the stunning Suzuki GSX-8TT out for a full walkaround and a spirited test ride! This unique, neo-retro machine blends design cues from the '60s, '70s, and '80s into a modern, head-turning package that appeals to every generation of riders.

In this episode, we'll dive deep into its daily street manners, break down its standout design elements, and see if its performance on the winding back roads and open highways lives up to its fierce looks.

📊 Key Specs & Highlights Covered:
The Engine: Powered by the responsive 776cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine (shared with the V-Strom 800 platform but configured for street riding), delivering smooth power at any speed.

Underslung Exhaust Done Right: Suzuki nailed the aesthetics by tucking the exhaust underneath the belly pan with a short side pipe and a sleek, decorative stainless steel shield.

Ergonomics & Seat Height: With a 31.9-inch seat height and a narrow tank-to-seat junction, shorter riders (like Annick at 5'2") can confidently touch on the balls of their feet while enjoying a highly comfortable, upright standard stance.

8TT vs. 8T Upgrades: Discover the premium touches that set the TT apart, including custom stitching details, bar-end mirrors, a front quarter fairing, and a plastic lower cowl.

Handling & Suspension: Built with beefy 41mm front forks (non-adjustable), adjustable rear damping/preload, and grippy Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tires on 17-inch wheels.

Highway & Comfort Test: We put the wind-buffeting protection of the quarter fairing and the vibration-dampening capabilities of those large bar-end mirrors to the highway test.
