For naked sportbike enthusiasts like myself, 2023 is proving to be one of the best years in a long time, especially in the middleweight market. Two of the big four Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have released absolute bangers of middleweight bikes with the Honda Hornet CB750 and the Suzuki GSX-8S. While only the GSX-8S has made it to the U.S. market as of now, chances are that the Hornet will follow suit in the very near future.
It goes without saying that whenever a Japanese manufacturer releases a new model, aftermarket accessories specialists are quick to develop and engineer products designed specifically for these models. In fact, high-end brands usually get first dibs on these bikes, and are able to engineer products for them even before they hit the market. More often than not, these consist of aftermarket exhaust systems, luggage options, and protection accessories.
