Can you ride the Suzuki GSX-8T/8TT on an A2 licence?
Yes, you can ride the Suzuki GSX-8T/8TT (2025 onwards) on an A2 motorbike licence. However, you will need to fit a restrictor kit to reduce its power output and make it A2 licence compliant!
Suzuki GSX-8T/8TT (2025 onwards)
The Suzuki GSX-8TT is a retro-style motorcycle based on the GSX-8S naked bike. Both models come with the same 776cc parallel-twin engine that is super-punchy, and even feels more powerful than expected. It produces around 82 bhp, so you will need to restrict the bike to make it A2 compliant in the UK and EU.
In terms of features and equipment, the Suzuki GSX-8TT is a pretty basic motorcycle. It comes with a TFT dash, USB-C charger, and quickshifter as standard, but there is no Bluetooth connectivity and no cruise control. The build quality is good, but nothing to write home about. And, at a price of around £10,000, it is a slight disappointment.
A2 Licence Compliance
The Suzuki GSX-8T/8TT is a 776cc A2-friendly standard bike. It has a power output of 61 kW (82 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 42.6% to become A2 licence compliant. (source: Suzuki GSX-8T/8TT specifications)
