Only 60 Made: Suzuki GSX-8R KIIRO
POSTED: 14/04/2025
Suzuki has dropped something truly special-the GSX-8R KIIRO Limited Edition. It’s bold, rare, and built to turn heads. With just 60 models produced globally, this exclusive version of the GSX-8R offers standout style with the same thrilling performance we already love from the standard machine.
If you're after something that looks as good as it rides, the KIIRO edition offers a factory-fresh design that screams individuality. Here's what makes this limited-edition Suzuki a serious catch.
The GSX-8R KIIRO: Aggressive Looks, Distinctive Edge
Based on the proven GSX-8R platform, the KIIRO Limited Edition keeps the same aggressive design DNA and nimble feel but elevates its look with an exclusive new colour scheme. Finished in striking Pearl Ignite Yellow, with sleek black and grey detailing on the subframe, wheels, and more - it’s a bike that stands out from every angle.
Each of the 60 units is fitted with a numbered tank badge and a custom graphics package designed specifically for this release. A colour-matched seat cowl is also included, adding a sharper, sportier touch that hints at the GSX-8R’s track potential. This isn’t just a new coat of paint - it’s a bold visual overhaul that reflects the limited status of this machine. The attention to detail in the design ensures that the KIIRO Limited Edition is a true collector’s item, offering a unique aesthetic that will turn heads.
What Powers the GSX-8R KIIRO?
Underneath the eye-catching finish, the KIIRO model keeps the same heart as the standard GSX-8R - Suzuki’s torque-rich 776cc parallel-twin engine. Delivering smooth power across the rev range, it’s perfectly suited to everything from weekend back-road blasts to daily commutes and motorway stretches.
You’ll also find fully adjustable Showa suspension at the front and rear, letting you fine-tune the setup for comfort or performance. Clip-on handlebars and a sculpted fairing give you a sporty, confident riding stance, while the bi-directional quickshifter and TFT full-colour dash come as standard, making every ride that much more intuitive and connected. Plus, the KIIRO model's lightweight design and agile handling ensure that whether you’re carving through corners or taking on the straightaways, every journey feels incredibly responsive and exhilarating.
Limited Edition vs Standard: What Makes the KIIRO Stand Out?
Mechanically, the KIIRO shares its core spec with the GSX-8R - and that’s no bad thing. With sharp handling, solid brakes, and rider-friendly ergonomics, the original GSX-8R is already one of the most well-rounded middleweight sportbikes available.
But where the standard model keeps things understated, the KIIRO goes bold. The bespoke paintwork, exclusive decals, and individually numbered badge turn it into something far more special. It’s built for riders who appreciate factory exclusivity and want their bike to reflect that.
Looking Beyond the KIIRO - The Standard GSX-8R Still Delivers
Only 60 riders will get their hands on the KIIRO, and with demand high, you’ll need to act fast. But if you don’t manage to grab one, there’s good news-the GSX-8R in its regular guise is still an incredible middleweight package.
With the same responsive engine, agile chassis, and smart tech, it’s just as capable whether you’re riding to work or heading for the twisties. And it’s not just us saying that-it won MCN’s Sportsbike of the Year award in 2024, proving that this is one seriously sorted machine.
