Japanese outlet Autoby published the final part of its Suzuki GSX-8R ride review, arguing that the bike's reputation for feeling like a tourer is a misconception. Its low-to-mid torque delivers 1000cc-class acceleration, yet the reviewer found it just as composed through 184 consecutive corners on Usui Pass's old road and on runs through Kita-Shiga Highlands and Shibu Pass.

They tested it on Usui Pass's old road, 184 corners back to back — hearing that from someone who's actually been out there, it gets me. From corner entry to exit, you can feel the throttle right through the chassis via your fingertips. Running it all the way from Kita-Shiga Highlands to Shibu Pass and still rating it this high — that's the real deal. Supple suspension, sharp response, of course you'd want to push it. This is my kind of bike.

A test-ride piece that goes to a part two — feels like they actually put real miles on it.

If it stays light and nimble all the way to Shibu Pass, this could be great for long-distance touring too.

Isn't the 'tourer' comment more about seat height and comfort features, not cornering?

'Acceleration like a 1000cc class' — I'd want actual numbers to back that up.

184 corners in a row is wild — didn't expect it to handle that well.

I want that low-mid torque character on something like the CBR650R too.
