uzuki has been building on
the momentum of its new par-
allel-twin platform for a couple
of years now, and after the naked
GSX-8S, the adventure-leaning
V-Strom 800DE, and the sport-
oriented GSX-8R, the brand has now
reached back into its own heritage
to deliver something different.

character as it is about capability,
drawing clear lines back to ma

chines like the GS1000S that Wes
Cooley terrorized superbike grids on
in the 1970s while carrying forward
the mechanical DNA it shares with
the GSX-8R/8S/DE. That link is more
than superficial; the TT borrows
heavily from the R's hardware, but it
channels it in a very retro way.
