Source: suzukicycles.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by cyclenews.com. The Suzuki Motor USA official 2026 GSX-8S page (source) lists "Base MSRP $9,249" and a full specification table confirming a 776cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin, 6-speed constant mesh transmission, O-ring drive chain final drive, 14.0 L (3.7 US gal.) fuel tank, 810 mm (31.9 in.) seat height, 202 kg (445 lb.) curb weight, and ABS-equipped NISSIN brakes; the page describes it as a "mid-size naked streetfighter" (motorcycleType = naked). Cycle News' July 2025 dated article on the 2026 GSX-8R/8S (corroboration) independently confirms the exact model and matching figures: "GSX-8S $9249", 776cc liquid-cooled parallel twin, 3.7 gal., 31.9 in. seat height, and 445 lbs. claimed curb weight. Neither page discloses a manufacturer-claimed horsepower or torque figure, so both are left null.
