Suzuki GSX-8R Colours

Suzuki has launched the middle-weight sportbike GSX-8R in India. The bike, priced at Rs. 9.25 lakh, is pretty attractive, especially when we consider the Triumph Daytona 660. The 660 is a pricey offering with a much smaller engine, but that's more than just the displacement this time. Let's see how things fare for this middle-weight sportbike. Why choose among these Bikes?It will depend on which kind of ride you prefer between the Suzuki GSX-8R and the Triumph Daytona 660. The former is powered by a powerful twin-cylinder to deliver great torque, while the latter packs a high-revving triple to provide more power. Nonetheless, both bikes offer solid sportbike performance with advanced features and stylish designs. Design and Aesthetics:This design is from the 675cc for the Triumph Daytona 660, along with wide LED headlamps and a middle air intake. In contrast, the Suzuki GSX-8R side fairings are angular and drawn from the GSX-R1000, with a solid fuel tank and a very short but upswept tail section. Features:Most of the features of both the bikes are common. Daytona 660 has an LCD-TFT instrument cluster, which also provides Bluetooth connectivity. The Suzuki GSX-8R also has a colour LCD console and connectivity. Ride-by-wire, along with multi-level traction control, multiple riding modes, and dual-channel ABS, is available in all. Notably, this quick bi-directional shift is standard in Suzuki, where it is optional in the case of Daytona 660 from Triumph. Engine Configuration:That's where the two different bikes have greatly diverse features: cylinder configuration, power, and torque. Suzuki GSX-8R has a 776cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine that has a 270-degree crank. It produced 81.8bhp at 8,500rpm and 78Nm peak torque at 6,800rpm.  In contrast, the Daytona is a 660cc inline triple-cylinder. It produces a lower rate of torque at 69Nm but better power at 80bhp. Equipped as standard with a six-speed gearbox and an assist and slipper clutch, both engines can transfer their maximum of 10,250 rpm to the rear wheels. SuspensionsTriumph Daytona 660 has a steel perimeter frame with non-adjustable 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and a Showa monoshock with preload adjustment. Braking is esnured to twin 310mm front discs and a 220mm rear disc, the latter with switchable ABS and Triumph-branded callipers at both ends.  However, the Suzuki GSX-8R has a steel diamond frame with Showa suspension at both ends, though non-adjustable at the front, while the rear preload can be adjusted. It has an initial braking setup of a dual 310mm front disc with a single 240mm rear disc. Price TagsSuzuki has priced the GSX-8R at Rs. 9.25 lakh making it usually more affordable than the Triumph Dayton 660, which is tagged at Rs. 9.72 lakh (both prices are ex-showroom).Before you go, have a look at the Honda unveils new Forza 125, Forza 300 scooters, Forza 750 maxi-scooterFollow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fbInstagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_instaTwitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
