Suzuki is giving its GSX-8TT a fresh look for 2027 with the introduction of a new Candy Daring Red colour scheme, adding another option to the modern retro model’s line-up.
Built around Suzuki’s acclaimed 800cc platform, the GSX-8TT combines modern performance and technology with styling inspired by Suzuki’s motorcycles of the late 1970s and early 1980s. In particular, its distinctive nose fairing takes inspiration from the 1979 GS1000S.
For 2027, the new Candy Daring Red finish is applied to the nose fairing, fuel tank and seat unit, complemented by black and gold striped graphics. The gold detailing continues onto the wheels, while the radiator shrouds, front mudguard and lower cowling are finished in black. The existing Glass Sparkle Black colour scheme will continue to be offered alongside the new red option.
Beneath the retro-inspired bodywork sits Suzuki’s 776cc parallel-twin engine, an engine already used across the company’s GSX-8 and V-Strom 800 families. The GSX-8TT also benefits from a comprehensive electronics package, including a colour TFT display, selectable riding modes, adjustable traction control and a bi-directional quickshifter.
The combination of classic Suzuki styling with its latest middleweight platform is central to the GSX-8TT’s appeal, offering the appearance of an older-generation Suzuki without sacrificing the performance, electronics and everyday usability expected from a modern motorcycle.
The 2027 Suzuki GSX-8TT in Candy Daring Red will join the existing Glass Sparkle Black version, with Irish availability and pricing expected to be confirmed separately.
