Suzuki Open House Weekend Set For 15th & 16th of March

JTs Motorcycles will be taking part in a Suzuki Spring Open House weekend on 15th and 16th March, with new Suzuki models available to test ride including the GSX-S1000GX, GSX-8R, and V-Strom 800RE. 
 

The GX, powered by Suzuki’s proven 999cc inline four-cylinder, superbike-derived engine, gets a suite of electronics topped by Showa semi-active suspension. There’s also a lean angle-sensitive innovative roll torque control, traction control, ABS, a bi-directional quickshifter, cruise control, and selectable power modes. A 6.5 colour TFT dash provides all the information and boasts smartphone connectivity. 

The recently launched GSX-8R – which shares the same torque-laden 776cc parallel twin engine with its 270 degree crank as the award-winning GSX-8S, plus its electronics package – will also be sought after. Cocooned in a full fairing, those taking a test ride will notice the sportier riding position over its roadster sibling, and the firmer suspension setup afforded by the Showa SFF-BP forks and rear shock. 

Enhancing the V-Strom range for 2024 is the road-focussed V-Strom 800RE, providing an alternative to the off-road-ready 800DE. The RE swaps spoked wheels for cast aluminium, with a 19” front replacing the 21” rim of the DE. There’s a lower seat, reduced suspension travel, radial brakes, and a taller screen. It keeps the same 776cc parallel twin engine, already renowned for its copious amount of low-end grunt, plus the bi-directional quickshifter, traction control settings, power modes, and colour TFT screen. 
 

Across the two days, other models available to test ride will include the GSX-8S, V-Strom 800DE, the Hayabusa – which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024 – and the GSX-S1000GT. Contact us today to book your space!
