T500 Titan revival
The 'T' badge nods to Suzuki's late-1960s T500 'Titan' two-stroke twin, reinterpreting that heritage with a modern 776cc parallel-twin.
Proven GSX-8 platform
Shares the 270-degree 776cc twin, steel frame and chassis with the GSX-8S, but adds a larger, more sculpted 16.5L tank and retro styling.
Modern rider aids
Standard bi-directional quick shifter, traction control, ride-by-wire, full-color 5-inch TFT, USB-C charging and a mono-round LED headlight.
