Suzuki Creates Exotic New GSX-8R for Capcom Cup Tournament

Since it's the beginning of March that means one thing, the latest running of the Capcom Cup is underway ahead of its conclusion this weekend, and Suzuki has introduced a new street fighter 6-themed GSX-8R which is dedicated to the final day of the event.

Attendees can see the bike in the flesh at the Capcom Cup 11 event, as the Japanese brand and organisers of the e-sports tournament decided to collaborate with this showpiece GSX-8R to celebrate the Street Fighter League which takes place on the last day (9 March), but that’s not all as Suzuki is also a sponsor partner for the video game tournament.

The GSX-8R designed for the event is officially called "GSX-8R Tuned by JURI," which traces its roots to the motorcycle-riding badass Street Fighter series character Juri Han. All the graphics draw inspiration from thematic throughlines that have been developed over time since Juri's first appearance.

As part of the bike’s exotic appearance, the purple and black colour is mated with spider graphics, and even a Feng Shui engine concept that are all embedded in the character's left eye. If you're attending Capcom Cup 11, you can take a visit to the official Suzuki stand and take a photo with the bike.

For those not in Japan at this time and unable to see the bike in all its glory, don’t fret, fans of Suzuki and its GSX-8R can see this limited edition of the bike at three Japanese motorcycle shows this spring.

This unique Street Fighter GSX-8R bike is also expected to be on show at the Osaka, Tokyo, or Nagoya Motorcycle Show events in 2025.

However, if you are attending Capcom Cup 11 you will not only get to see this bike but fans can also come away with some Suzuki Street Fighter 6 collaboration items, although these are believed to be on a first-come first-served basis.
