Suzuki unveiled the new GSX-8T and a Hayabusa Special Edition at Festival Interlagos 2026 in Brazil. The GSX-8T is a retro naked bike inspired by the 1960s T500, powered by a 776cc parallel-twin producing 83hp at a 201kg curb weight. The Hayabusa special edition is limited to 120 units for Brazil, finished in blue and white with a numbered ID plate.

The GSX-8T is the good part — a 776cc water-cooled twin doing full justice to that T500 homage. Look at the spec sheet: 83 horsepower at 201 kilos, still light despite the retro styling. And that 900-gram lithium-ion battery tells you how serious this bike really is.

Is the GSX-8T manageable for someone who just got their license?

At 201kg it should be manageable even for a new rider.

120 units of that special Hayabusa — pretty sure none of those are reaching Japan.

Hayabusa specials always launch overseas first — I've stopped expecting otherwise.

900 grams shaved off — small number on paper, but it really adds up in practice.

The GSX-8T nails that T500 homage. 83hp from 776cc should be plenty of fun.

Still, isn't the XSR700 more polished overall?
