The idea of a GSX-8s of clear retro appearance is something he likes, and a lot, or Japanese brand lovers. That is why the partners of the Japanese publication Young Machine have imagined how it could become a reality, and they have also baptized it under the name of Type s. The design of this guard a great resemblance to another of the iconic mounts of those of Hamamatsu: GS 1000 s of the 80s.
GSX-8S Type S: An already invented concept
Without taking merit to the design shown on the cover of the month of March of the well-known Japanese magazine, we must clarify that the king of virtual rates, Oberdan Bezzi, previously showed a retro version of this current GSX-8S Type S. He called her GS 800S And, like the latter, it has a clear inspiration of Suzuki’s designs for more than forty years ago.
In a way it is a return to the origins of the brand using an image that has never gone out of fashion, together with current technology. A balanced compendium between the past, present and future, that today’s fans like. In addition, the GSX-8S Type S looks the mythical colors of Suzuki with some finishes in line with the philosophy of a hypothetical retro version of its well-known Naked mount.
All this combined with the well -known 776 CC parallel bicilinder with a 270 -degree crankshaft design and equipped with the Suzuki Cross Balanced system. In the standard version of the model, a final power of 83 hp at 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 78 Nm at 6,800 rpm Equipoing three driving modes: active, basic and comfort, with which we can adapt the operation of the motorcycle to our piloting, something that we also assume would include this GSX-8S Type S.
In the event that Suzuki delighted us with a GSX-8S Type S this should have the well-known front of clear vintage appearance, retro-style seat with cinch for the passenger included and a redesign of the rear of the motorcycle, with clear eighties in its shapes. In short, a mount that collects the essence shown by the well -known GS 1000 s of the 80s.
There is no doubt that Suzuki, just as he already did with the new generation Katana, can offer us a vintage version of his current GSX-8S, very similar to this Type s that propose Bezzi and the friends of Young Machine. We are sure that more than one will be rubbing your hands just thinking that the idea comes to fruition … right?
