Suzuki GSX-8TT Joins Red Dot Design Museum in Essen for One Year — PHOTO — MOTORRAD UND REISEN / © Motorrad und Reisen↗ View original

Suzuki's Red Dot Design Award-winning GSX-8TT will be displayed for one year at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, located within the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 776cc parallel-twin translates cues from the T500 and GS1000 AMA racer into a modern motorcycle and now joins a 4,000-square-meter permanent exhibition containing about 2,000 objects.

What draws me is not simply that the GSX-8TT is being displayed as an award winner, but that it will share the atmosphere of a 4,000-square-meter former boiler house with about 2,000 design objects. It quotes the T500 tank and GS1000 AMA racer's half fairing without looking like a nostalgic replica. That visual strength now gets tested inside a museum.

What did you think?

The GSX-8T won too, so why is only the 8TT being displayed?

Riding to Zollverein and seeing your bike represented in a museum sounds like a great trip.

A five-level, 4,000-square-meter former boiler house feels like the right setting for the GSX-8TT.

The smart part is translating the T500 tank into modern surfaces instead of copying it.

Reinterpreting an old design into something that can last is also a form of sustainability.

A motorcycle joining roughly 2,000 design objects is fantastic. I want to see it in person.

A one-year display should not be the end of it. I want the museum to show the bike in motion too.
