Suzuki Germany has just rolled out a pair of special versions of the Suzuki GSX-8R called the Daidai-Iro Edition and Daidai-Iro Power Edition. And honestly? It’s refreshing to see Suzuki doing something a little more interesting than the classic industry move of rolling out “Bold New Graphics.”
Don’t get me wrong. Suzuki has practically built an entire marketing strategy around "Bold New Graphics" over the decades. New model year? New stripe. Maybe a slightly darker blue. Throw in a decal that says “Racing,” or "Sport," or both, and boom. Launch complete.
But this time, Suzuki actually went a bit further and built what’s basically a factory-modded GSX-8R.
