Limited Edition Suzuki GSX-8R Kiiro is Available in the UK
The new Suzuki limited edition GSX-8R Kirro has landed in the UK, but customers will need to act fast as only 60 units are available
A special limited edition Suzuki GSX-8R Kirro model has landed but just 60 units are being made available for UK customers.
First introduced in early 2024, the Suzuki GSX-8R was the brand’s first all-new sportbike in ten years. Now, Suzuki has unveiled its Kiiro limited-edition model, which features a host of trick parts and new paint, and boasts an OTR price of £9,599.
The Kirro edition GSX-8R is smothered in a bright yellow livery with black across the tank, rear fairing and around the front headlight. It also gets grey wheels and a grey aluminium subframe. To add to its appeal, it also gets a dose of extras from the Suzuki accessories catalogue.
In addition to the yellow bodywork, which is where the name Kiiro comes from, the limited edition GSX-8R bike will come with a single seat cowl, smoked screen, Gilles billet aluminium brake and clutch levers, a tank pad, and a two-tone seat adorned with a GSX logo.
An award-winning machine despite being relatively fresh to the market, the GSX-8R features a 776cc 270-degree parallel-twin engine that is shared with the GSX-8S and delivers 81.7bhp and 57.5Ib ft of torque.
The engine is housed in a chassis that comprises a steel mainframe and a separate aluminium subframe, with suspension front and rear from Showa. The electronics package includes a bi-directional quickshifter as standard and selectable power and traction control modes, with all information displayed via a colour TFT screen.
The brakes are the same as those fitted to standard 8R, which include twin four-piston Nissin callipers at the front working on 310mm discs, with a single, 240mm disc and a single-piston calliper completing the setup at the rear.
The new Kiiro edition is just £500 more than the current GSX-8R, and more information about the new limited edition model can be found on the Suzuki website.
