Suzuki’s newly-launched GSX-8T and GSX-8TT machines will be available to test ride in the UK for the first time this weekend, at the Copdock Motorcycle Show, which takes place at the Trinity Park Showground in Ipswich on Sunday 7 September.
The two new middleweight machines blend retro spirit with next generation performance, using Suzuki’s highly-regarded and award-winning 800cc platform.
The 8T takes design inspiration from Suzuki’s T500 from the late 1970s, while its 8TT stablemate pays homage to bikes such as the GS1000S and superbikes of the time.
Both bikes will be available to test ride from the Suzuki stand throughout the duration of the show.
Also available to test ride will be the GSX-8R and GSX-8S, which use the same engine and chassis platform as the 8T and 8TT, plus the V-Strom 800DE and V-Strom 800RE, which pack the punchy twin-cylinder engine into a chassis designed for adventure.
The bigger V-Strom 1050, the iconic Hayabusa, plus the GSX-S1000GX and the GSX-S1000GT are also on Suzuki’s test ride fleet for the event.
On the stand will be a number of display bikes, plus staff from Suzuki GB and popular local dealership, Orwell Motorcycles, who will be on hand to provide information on Suzuki’s current range and sales offers, which includes dealer contributions of up to £1,300 and 0% finance on select models.
The Copdock Motorcycle Show takes place on Sunday 7 September at Trinity Park Showground, Ipswich, IP3 8UH, with gates opening at 09:00. For tickets and more event information visit:www.eacbikeshow.co.uk
