Another motorcycle model has been launched by KOVE Moto, the adventure machine KOVE 800X GT.

It is powered by a 799 cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 97 hp at 9,000 rpm and 80 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, paired with a six-speed transmission.

The motorcycle features four riding modes: Comfort, Rain, Sport, and Off-road.

The suspension consists of adjustable 43 mm KYB front forks with a wheel travel distance of 210 mm, complemented by adjustable preload KYB shock absorbers.

Key features include an electronic throttle system, a two-way quick shifter, cruise control, dual-stage TCS (Traction Control System), a damping system, hydraulic steering stabilizer, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

The fuel tank capacity is approximately 22 liters, while the seat height is 826 mm.

The first 20 buyers will receive an exclusive pannier box set with their purchase.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has announced the arrival of two new neo-retro motorcycle models in the 800 cc class, namely the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT, for the global market.

Although both models utilize the more modern GSX-8 platform, they can be distinguished through their styling, where the GSX-8T draws inspiration from the classic T500 motorcycle.

It features a round LED headlight housing, a uniquely designed fuel tank and seat, as well as handlebars complete with end-mounted mirrors.

Meanwhile, the more muscular design of the GSX-8TT takes its inspiration from machines of that era, such as the Yoshimura GS1000.

The GSX-8TT retains the same headlight housing as the GSX-8T model; however, this section is refined with angular fairings, followed by a radiator guard and an engine under-cowl.

In terms of power, both the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT are powered by the same 776 cc parallel-twin engine found in any of the GSX-8 models, delivering 80 hp at 8,500 rpm and 77 Nm of torque at 6,800 rpm.

Additionally, they are equipped with a cross balancer component designed to reduce vibrations.

Both motorcycles feature a steel frame and an aluminum swingarm, KYB upside-down front forks, KYB rear shock absorbers, and a Nissin braking system consisting of dual 310 mm rotors at the front and a single 240 mm rotor at the rear.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 16.5 liters, while the seat height is as low as 810 mm (815 mm for the GSX-8T model).

As standard, the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT come equipped with electronic aids such as a bidirectional quickshifter, Suzuki Easy Start, traction control, Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), and Low RPM Assist.

The full-color TFT display shows all the important information required by the rider, including the RPM meter, speed, and gear position.
