Wes Cooley tribute
Its quarter fairing and tank striping are inspired by the GS1000S AMA Superbike that Wes Cooley raced in the early 1980s.
Cafe-racer flavor
Adds a bikini fairing, chin spoiler, gold wheels, handlebar-end mirrors and stitched seat over the GSX-8T's stripped-back look.
Same 776cc twin
Shares the GSX-8 series' 270-degree parallel-twin, frame and electronics; differences from the GSX-8T are styling and bodywork only.
