Suzuki GSX-8R
The GSX 8R is a fully faired sportbike powered by a 776cc parallel-twin engine producing 82 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful motorcycles in Suzuki's lineup, right after the Hayabusa. To handle this power safely, the bike comes equipped with the advanced Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.), a premium feature on only a few select Suzuki models.
The motorcycle is built around a steel frame and comes equipped with Showa suspension, which gives it a balanced feel on city roads and highways. Despite its sporty full faired design, the motorcycle remains rider friendly thanks to its 810mm seat height. Also, it is one of the most affordable motorcycles in its segment, which makes it a smart choice for riders who want premium features and strong performance.

•16wBetween the Hornet 750 and the Suzuki GSX-8R, which is better for comfort over Indian potholes? I have a bad back and want comfort on poor roads. Also, what would be the annual maintenance cost?

Autocar India
The Suzuki GSX-8R - while it may look like an aggressive sport bike - is actually quite a comfortable road bike. Its clip-ons are set quite high, and its suspension is set up to tackle real-world road conditions. However, the GSX-8R has a service interval of 6 months / 6,000km (whichever is earlier), which could result in higher annual maintenance costs.Since we haven't ridden the Honda CB750 Hornet, we can't comment on its ride quality. Honda big bikes are generally easier to maintain and have a good reputation for low running costs (in the big bike space) and great resale value.We'd recommend a test ride of both machines before you make a decision.
