Suzuki GSX 8R Kiiro Edition complete details
Kiiro in Japanese means ‘Yellow’, and that is exactly what the new Kiiro Edition is all about. It is based on the standard GSX 8R, but the paint scheme is a beautiful mixture of bright yellow and black contrast.
Additionally, it features multiple Suzuki logos in gloss black colour on the various parts of the motorcycle. Suzuki has painted the alloy wheels in a tasteful shade of light silver. The sub-frame is also painted in the silver paint shade to complete the overall look of the Kiiro Edition GSX 8R.
Apart from the visual changes, the Kiiro Edition motorcycle is identical to the standard model. It continues to be powered by the durable and peppy 776cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine, which generates 81.8 bhp and 78 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively.
In terms of features, it is equipped with LED lights, a full digital TFT colour instrument console, Bluetooth connectivity for smartphones, navigation and SMS/call support, ride modes, ABS modes, and traction control assist.
The Kiiro Edition is limited to only 60 units, and it will be exclusively sold in the UK market. Therefore, we can safely anticipate that Suzuki will not introduce it in India.
