Suzuki’s Heritage Reimagined: The GSX-8T and GSX-8TT Debut at the Philippine Moto Heritage Weekend 2025

Suzuki Philippines made a powerful statement at the Philippine Moto Heritage Weekend 2025,
presenting the highly anticipated GSX-8T and GSX-8TT as the main highlights of its exhibit. This
annual event, which is a premier celebration of motorcycle culture and heritage in the country,
served as the perfect backdrop for the public debut of these two models, which embody
Suzuki’s thrust to reimagine its heritage through these new models. The GSX-8T and GSX-8TT
pay tribute to classic Suzuki machines while integrating them with next-generation technology
and performance.

Suzuki’s booth was a major draw, capturing the attention of riders, collectors and enthusiasts.
The new GSX models were prominently featured, marking their first event appearance
alongside other Suzuki Big Bikes such as the other 800cc powered GSX-8R, GSX-8S and the
iconic SV650. The occasion further highlighted Suzuki’s heritage which is very timely for the
brand as it celebrates its 50th anniversary in the Philippines. This move underscored its
commitment to honor the Suzuki’s rich history while pushing the boundaries of innovation for
today’s riders.

Beyond the stunning product display, Suzuki engaged riders directly with a free test ride
experience. Attendees had the chance to experience the smooth performance and comfort of
the Burgman 400ABS and V-STROM 1050DE. The Suzuki booth also became a hub for
community, with numerous Suzuki Big Bike riders and fans alike visiting to show their support
and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Also spotted on display by collectors are the early models
of the GSX-R750 as well as GS-750G which automatically became crowd favorites.

RidePh’s Philippine Moto Heritage Weekend is already considered as an annual festival
celebrating the evolution of motorcycling in the country. Suzuki’s participation, with the debut
of its latest big bikes and its strong rider presence, proved its dedication to both the past and
future of the motorcycle community as a whole. It is a clear testament to the brand’s enduring
promise to support every rider on their journey, no matter the destination. At every twist and
turn, Suzuki is By Your Side.
