looks like 250, didn't know got such model now I do
interesting

If I have the Katana, I think I won't be looking at other bikes for a while

Like most Jap bikes, the S750 needs a better shock. I bet the Katana is sufficient in this department.

Well I was looking around before I got the Katana haha. And the Katana rear shocks are decent but still could use an upgrade. No compression adjustment for the shock is a bummer

you use top box then better get those with preload adjusters, and fancy clickers.
Ohlins, Matris, Bitubo, Nitron, Andreani, YSS, Ktech etc are accessible to you.

Preload is standard, compression damping is the thing it doesn't have. And my top box isn't that heavy.

Love the S750, great bike in both handling and engine. Hope that with upcoming 8s, suzuki won't drop entirely on S750. But why the hell all those manufacturer want to involve in another MT07 clone. I know that kinda of setup is fun and punchy where the it's very torque but can you level with MT07 with that dirt cheap price.

yeah its weird why they want to make a copy of mt-07 now out of all time it had been out..
but if it works, it works i guess

lol... none of the above..

shudhav tot of that the 800 is too new...

I think it's emissions and it's time they have something to compete with F800/F900 series engine. MT07 not so much, but that's what they sing about out there. To be frank, MT07 isn't new, there's been ~650 twin engines way before that. Just that Yamaha tuned it's peak torque much lower that people loved it.

It's only now Yamaha put that concept into a naked, a Tenere, and R7.

These newer 800cc twins are not that fresh also, but better.

when can get bike oh?
48k?? lol

dealer is right,.. 50.8k ... huhu...
launch price of 2021 gsxs750 cbu jap is 41k

similar price as upcoming transalp? heard transalp would also be priced around 60k
youtube reviews are saying the 800de feels lighter than a t7 tho it's 30kg heavier

ada mention the 800de price ?

my god... suzuki trying to commit suicide or wat?

8S @ 51k? macam better ambik Z900 or MT09 or MT07.

800DE oso unless betul2 offroading, would rather go for the versys 1000 or Tracer.

would be interesting to see how much they can sell with those prices.

exactly my thought.. like no brainer z900 is the better choice.

ami suzuki got no choice, even tho they cant offer lower price, but still they need to market n sell to be relevant.

unlike bsh hlym can sell plenty of kapchai + scooters.

this gsx-8s still cbu?

should be,

no info stated, those journos never ask, tak buat kerja.

yes CBU saw Eang Chun shared in their FB, fully imported unlike MT-09 and Z900

Well that explains the price.. but still really hard to compete with those other 2

Will be very interesting to see the sales numbers seeing that the versys 1000 is not too far off from the 800de pricing, and also the z900 is cheaper than the 8s yet have more power. Only thing the 8s wins over that is the quick shifter up and down I guess but reviews are saying the implementation of the 8s/800de quick shifter is less refined particularly on the downshift.

Though I personally know someone who is placing an order for the 800de even after knowing the price, so I guess the bike does have it's fans.
