In 2026, Suzuki added two retro-styled models to its 800cc-class GSX-8 lineup: the naked GSX-8T and the full-fairing GSX-8TT. These follow the naked GSX-8S (2023) and the full-fairing GSX-8R (2024), with the GSX-8TT serving as the full-fairing counterpart of this retro pair.
The 800 middleweight is honestly the sweetest displacement of all. Light, fast, still manageable on the street. Add a full-fairing TT to that, and windscreen effect improves highway comfort too. Retro looks but sport underneath — this kind of two-pronged lineup widens the choices for anyone who loves riding.

Didn't realize the GSX-8 series had already grown into this big a family.
This much variety within the 800cc class is nice for the fun of choosing.
More choice is great, but retro versions tend to cost more than the standard due to the styling detail, so that's a concern.
The GSX-8T being the naked and the 8TT the full-fairing version means the underlying platform's probably shared.
The full-fairing retro GSX-8TT takes a different nostalgic angle from something like the CB1000F.
After the GSX-8S and 8R, adding two retro models rounds the series out nicely.
