YOSHIMURA's GSX-8S is a true racer! Check out the Machine Bent R-11 Cyclone 1-End before its release [Motorcycle Show 2024]

At the recently held 2024 Tokyo Motorcycle Show, a GSX-8S demo bike customized by YOSHIMURA was on display. It was fully equipped with many YOSHIMURA parts that are compatible with the GSX-8S and 8R, and the new Machine Bent R-11 Cyclone 1-End EXPORT SPEC full exhaust, which will be released this June, stood out among them. Let's take a look at it along with the rest of the bike.

Making the 8S more sporty and original!

YOSHIMURA exhausts are called "Cyclones" and the full exhaust system installed on this demo bike, the Machine Bent R-11 Cyclone 1-End EXPORT SPEC, is the latest in the EXPORT SPEC series in response to enthusiastic requests from overseas users.

The craftsman-like TIG welding heat color and machining marks have been purposefully left as is, and the model is designed with an emphasis on cost performance. The color lineup will include three colors: SSF (Satin Finish Cover) at 205,700 JPY, SM (Metal Magic Cover) at 215,600 JPY, and STB (Titanium Blue Cover) at 220,000 JPY. (The demo bike was equipped with the Titanium Blue Cover.)

The sharp edges make it look like a full-blown racing exhaust, and that's expected, as YOSHIMURA has poured their know-how accumulated through racing experience into its development. In addition to increased torque and power output, the bank angle, weight reduction, and aerodynamics have also been carefully considered. The R-11 silencer amplifies the "heartbeat" of the engine and makes the rider want to keep going full throttle. It is sure to make racing and touring more enjoyable.

A wide variety of dress-up parts with a custom feel are also available!

In addition to the exhaust, the demo bike was equipped with a number of new parts that are compatible with the GSX-8 series. Let's take a look at them.
