In July, Suzuki announced new colors for its 800cc family in Brazil, the full-fairing GSX-8R and naked GSX-8S. Both models receive new colorways, refreshing the appeal of these popular, approachable parallel-twin midsize bikes for the Brazilian market.
The GSX-8S is a bike I'm keeping an eye on too. The new-design twin has good low-mid grunt, manageable both around town and on winding roads. New colors don't affect riding, but they lift your mood the moment you sit on it. If Brazilian riders get to ride comfortably in a fresh outfit, that's a good thing.

If the only update is a new color, existing owners might find it a bit underwhelming.
An easy-to-handle middleweight is appealing because it handles everything from a first big bike to touring.
A parallel-twin middleweight known for its friendly ride feel—seems like it'd win support in South America too.
The 800cc parallel twin is well regarded for balancing low-end torque with high-rev pull.
Rolling out new colors for both the R and S versions is probably proof both are selling steadily.
The GSX-8 series has such a refined shape that a new color addition is genuinely exciting.
In the same class it's a segment that competes fiercely with Yamaha's MT-07/R7 lineup too.
