The 2025 Suzuki GSX-8R Kiiro is a good-looking, limited-edition sportbike that enhances the standard GSX-8R with exclusive styling and practical accessories. Our testing shows that the standard version, with its 776cc parallel-twin engine, modern electronics, and versatile chassis, is a compelling choice for riders seeking a balance of performance, comfort, and affordability.
The new Kiiro special edition takes the Pearl Ignite Yellow GSX-8R—“kiiro” is Japanese for “yellow”—and adds a nice selection of upgrades for a £600 premium. To enhance its appeal, only 60 examples will be produced and sold in the United Kingdom.
