At the Suzuki stand at EICMA 2026 in Milan I ended up in what felt like 200 other people’s videos at once. Not because of me. I’m not the star here. The star is the bike I’m sitting on, and it took me a second to figure out what it actually is.

Suzuki loves its naming games. There’s the GSX-8S, there’s the GSX-8R, and there used to be the naked bike with the big inline-four. Now that engine sits in a sportbike, and it’s called the GSX-10R. Next to it: the new SV-7S, a GSX-8TT on gold wheels, a scooter and an electric scooter. For a compact stand, that’s plenty to chew on, and I sat on just about all of it.

The GSX-10R is a sportbike, not a sport tourer

Let me get one thing straight, because the concept can throw you: I’m not sitting on a sport tourer. This is a proper sportbike, just with a riding position that works on a back road. It’s for riders who love a practical street bike like the GSX-S1000, with its strong engine, great chassis and well-sorted package, but don’t want to pay superbike money. Suzuki quotes 150 hp at 11,000 rpm and 78 lb-ft from the 999 cc inline-four. It doesn’t have the rev ceiling of a GSX-R1000; it has the naked bike’s. On the street that matters less than you’d think. This is the legendary K5 engine, with a fat midrange and sweet throttle response, now in a thoroughly modern motorcycle. Add a new aluminum twin-spar frame, a fully adjustable KYB fork, forward-swept winglets and 53 degrees of lean angle instead of the GSX-S1000’s 48. If you always wanted a sportbike but dreaded living at redline, this is a seriously good option.

Less power doesn’t mean fewer toys

Here’s what usually happens: when a manufacturer builds a milder version of a sportbike, the cool gadgets get unbolted along with the horsepower. Not here. Suzuki only dialed back the power. The quickshifter, cruise control and the full electronics package are all still there. Suzuki counts 15 electronic control systems, and two are firsts for the brand. Slide Control detects the bike sliding sideways in a corner, and Brake Hold Control holds the bike not just on a hill but on flat ground and downhill too. The turn signals are new as well: when you’re stopped, they project a light onto the pavement in front of you. Under the harsh show lighting, I couldn’t demo it, unfortunately. The only thing that doesn’t work for me yet is the name. It doesn’t roll off the tongue. Give it time.

GSX-R750 and Fireblade 900 memories

Will Suzuki sell a bunch of these? I think so. A sportbike with that kind of power, a front end with real character and an engine that’s a legend. It took me straight back to the GSX-R750 and the Fireblade 900, legends of the asphalt in their day. The GSX-10R hooks into that feeling, just with modern electronics and a riding position that doesn’t demand a racetrack. Suzuki lists 472 lbs ready to ride, a 31.9” seat and a 4.8-gallon tank. Sales start in summer 2027, rolling out country by country. What I’m looking forward to most is the moment the prices land, in time for the spring shows. If Suzuki nails the price, this thing’s going to be a smash.

The SV-7S carries the SV650 into forever

Then there’s the SV-7S, the successor to the SV650. The 645 cc V-twin debuted in 1999 and has proven itself countless times since. It’s fully sorted, and it’s built to run forever. Suzuki rates it at 72 hp and 47 lb-ft, in a bike that weighs 441 lbs ready to ride. The updates are all in the details: the riding position, a wider bar that sits closer to you, ride-by-wire, riding modes, traction control and a two-way quickshifter. That’s just modern for 2027, wrapped around a proven engine. The seat is low and approachable and super narrow where your legs go, at 30.9”. In Italy it costs €7,190, according to Suzuki, and I’d expect it to land under €8,000 in Austria. It hits dealers in spring 2027, and it’ll find its people.

Gold wheels on the GSX-8TT get my pulse up

Alongside the SV-7S there’s the higher-spec, pricier but also heavier GSX-8T. My son rode one privately, and for 2027 there’s a new color. The 800 is more grown up and has even more low-end grunt. And then there’s the retro spin-off, the GSX-8TT. You just have to point at the gold wheels. Have fun cleaning them, but man, they look good. For 2027 Suzuki paints it red with gold and black stripes, a nod to the 1979 GS1000S. Mechanically it stays at 82 hp and 448 lbs. Gold wheels make my heart beat a few beats faster every single time. Fun detail: the crew was bolting the bikes to the floor while I was there, so they don’t grow legs. That tells you something about the pull of these things.

A Burgman and an electric Address for the city

Last, I sat on the Burgman Street 125 to get a sense of the room. The Burgman name has always stood for a comfy seat, decent wind protection and lots of storage, and I think that holds for the new one too. The display is cleaner, the buttons feel higher quality. Suzuki lists a revised air-cooled 124 cc single, a 4.2-inch color display with smartphone connectivity, keyless ignition, USB, LED lighting and 25.9 liters of underseat storage. I couldn’t get the seat open on the stand, sadly. Next to it sits the e-Address, the electric version. Suzuki quotes 4.1 kW, a 3.07 kWh battery, 50 miles of range, a 44 mph top speed and 269 lbs. At 6’0” I found it approachable, though seat height is always hard to judge on a show stand. For city traffic it’s a no-fuss package.

Can you buy these Suzukis in the US?

Not yet, at least not the new ones. Suzuki Motor USA hasn’t announced US pricing or timing for the GSX-10R or the SV-7S. The GSX-10R is reportedly coming to the States; for now the only firm numbers are European: summer 2027 sales start, and €7,190 for the SV-7S in Italy. The good news for SV fans is that the old SV650 never left the US lineup. The GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are already sold here, with dealers listing the 2026 models from $10,649 and $11,149; the red 2027 8TT hasn’t been priced for the US. The Burgman Street 125 and the e-Address aren’t part of the American lineup. If you want a Suzuki scooter in the States, the closest thing is the Burgman 400, which dealers list at $8,949.
