AN ENGINE FOR A NEW ERA OF STREET PERFORMANCE
Creating the naked street fighter for a new era began with aiming to design a slim powerplant and leverage the compact front-rear dimensions of Suzuki’s new parallel twin engine to help achieve the most effective chassis geometry for performance gains. Moreover, the new engine had to be torquey and powerful, but also easy to control, with smooth throttle response and an inviting nature that provides a satisfying riding experience, whether enjoying a solo run or carrying a passenger. These objectives gave birth to Suzuki’s new parallel twin 776cm3 DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder engine, which features a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm combined with the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance through to the high end. Its 270-degree crankshaft design delivers a smooth ride, plenty of torque, positive traction, and a pleasing rumble and engine note similar to that of a V-twin engine. It also introduces the Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative new primary
balancer design that contributes to smooth operation and helps enhance the GSX-8S’s nimble handling.

SUZUKI CROSS BALANCER
All modern parallel twin engines with a 270-degree crank layout employ a primary balancer to suppress vibration. Suzuki has created a new biaxial primary balancer, that is the first on a production motorcycle, to position its two balancers at 90° to the crankshaft. This patented mechanism excels at realising a smoother ride, while its design makes it possible to create a lighter powerplant that is more compact from front to rear.

DISTINCTIVE SHORT MUFFLER DESIGN
The GSX-8S features a short new muffler design that, barely peeking out as it rises from the right side of the engine, contributes greatly to the mass-forward image of this new street fighter. It is part of a new 2-into-1 exhaust system engineered to produce a pleasing note befitting the new parallel twin engine. Better yet, the two-stage catalytic converter inside the collector helps limit emissions to a level that satisfies Euro 5 standards, while at the same time maximising power output and overall performance.

OPTIMISED FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION
KYB inverted front forks with a 130mm stroke deliver a plush, controllable ride and feature stable damping characteristics that makes them suitable for both sports riding and long-distance runs. The dedicated link-type mono- shock KYB rear suspension is set up to contribute to straight-line stability and agility, even when carrying a passenger. The mechanical preload adjuster is particularly useful when heading out to ride tandem. And the settings are optimised to help realise nimble handling and predictable steering into corners. 

HIGH-PERFORMANCE WHEELS AND TYRES
Cast-aluminum wheels with a unique new lightweight design contribute to the sharp styling of the GSX-8S and to its nimble handling. The wheels are shod with a new generation of Dunlop RoadSport 2 radial tires that benefit from an internal construction custom-engineered to match the characteristics of the GSX-8S and built to perform optimally. Their proven tread pattern introduces a new silica compound that enhances grip in wet conditions and durable wear resistance. Both the wheels and tires work in harmony with the optimised suspension settings to help maximise grip, stability, and agility, and to deliver a comfortable ride.

LED HEADLIGHTS AND POSITION LIGHTS
The vertically stacked pair of hexagonal LED headlights not only provide you with a clear view of the road ahead, but their compact design creates a sharp look with unique character that makes the front end look light and ready for action. The headlight assembly is flanked by compact LED position lights designed as narrow angled slits that trace forward and down along the front cowl to accent the unique “mask” of the front face. 

COLOUR TFT DISPLAY
The GSX-8S uses a 5-inch colour TFT display. Clearly legible high-quality information displays keep you fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings, and supply vital real-time operating status information. The tachometer doubles up as a programmable rpm indicator light that blinks when the engine reaches a pre-set speed, and adds a function that lets you display large pop-up alerts and reminder. Manual or automatic switching settings for the day (white) and night (black) display modes let you maximise visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.

INTUITIVE HANDLEBAR SWITCHES
The ergonomic switch layout maximizes operating ease and efficiency so you can access all controls while focusing on the road ahead. Select modes and make settings and adjustments for each S.I.R.S. control system by simply operating the MODE and UP/DOWN switches on the left handlebar. 

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (SIRS)
The advanced electronic systems of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) featured on the GSX-8S assist and help you optimise performance characteristics to match your changing riding needs and preferences. By making the GSX-8S feel more controllable, predictable, and less tiring to operate, these systems help you ride with greater peace of mind, whether touring for long distances, carrying a passenger, or heading out for a sporty solo run.

SUZUKI TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (STCS)
Designed to help prevent the rear wheel from slipping, this system reduces stress and fatigue while instilling greater confidence in controlling your ride. You can select from 3 modes to control how quickly the system takes effect and how proactive it is in limiting wheel spin, or you can opt to run with it turned off.

BI-DIRECTIONAL QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM
This standard-equipment feature lets you shift up or down while in motion without operating the clutch lever. When activated, the system delivers clean upshifts with smooth acceleration. Downshifts are also quick and easy, thanks in part to automatic blipping and engine braking working together harmoniously. The gear shift linkage system load rate is optimised to provide a solid, satisfying click with each shift that assures you the gearbox has responded immediately to your action.

Unbelievably Mind Blowing
NO SPOILERS REVIEW!! I just do not have words to describe this comic novel. I may need too much words to put forth my review about this book.. but then I do not want to spoil anything for the readers. So let me try.... Story Amazingly written and I am not surprised one bit getting such a brilliant story telling coming from none other than Greg Rucka and perfectly carried in the illustration by J.H. Williams III. More on the art later below. The story is completely captivating. It just absorbs the reader in for it has a huge number of WOW moments and of course the highly looked upon origin of Batwoman. No Batwoman is nothing like any others in the Bat family and definitely not an ordinary vigilante. She has perfect reasons and motives to serve as the Gotham's new protector. Rucka's attention to details is remarkable. There is an explanation to what the colors of her suit means, when, how and where does all her tech come from, whats the material her suit is made of, etc. Kate Kane is depicted so beautifully with her life swinging between her emotions, stress, career and issues relating to her sexuality that I gained instant respect and attachment to the character. Greg Rucka has not only presented certain things about our society but also passed on a fully modern moral take on it. I am very very happy that I picked this book up & I recommend this book to everybody out there, not just comic readers but also who never have ready any comic till date! This book is HUGE I tell you!!! Keep in mind that initially this story has some spinning that you may not fully get but read on and the revelations will take you by surprise I tell you! And oh by the way - This has one of the best Batman appearances ever - IMO. Art I am spellbound by the painted art form of illustration used in this book. I have very rarely seen this kind of art (except for Batwoman New 52) where the panels are simply afloat and do not confine to any particular shape. There are pages where the entire spread is showing you some parts of the past while some small nearly bat shaped floating panels show events occurring in present - How cool is that! I do not have to tell you much as you might probably have already googled the images. Plus - There is a very cool introduction by in the beginning of the book by a non comic industry figure & super cool Batwoman/ Kate Kane art concepts at the last few pages followed by lovely variant cover gallery at the end!! Simply eye popping and I do not want to say more - just go and grab this book!!!! This book truly deserves 5 stars!!

An Inspiration
After watching a video by one of my favorite youtubers discussing comics and this book, I had to buy it. I have always loved Kate Kane since started Batwoman 52 about a year ago, and was very excited to purchase this graphic novel. My expectations were very high, yet this book still managed to exceed them! Williams and Rucka are both extremely talented gentlemen. As the introduction points out, they really do convince you that these characters are real. You almost can't believe Kate isn't an actual human being, and you can really imagine meeting her in real life. I also was very (if not more) impressed with the artwork. The compositions are simply stunning, and completely original. I absolutely love how the scenes with Kate as Batwoman are illustrated with lots of detail and fluidity. It really has an eery watercolor effect, with great linework and color. This completely contrasts the scenes where Kate is either out on the town or in her home. Much more graphic, but still delightful. The costumes in this series are also amazing. Both Kate and her foe have some stunning outfits, and are very unique. Since I had already read Batwoman 52, I knew how everything that was going to go down. A lot of this book was her origin and was very interesting. And although I already knew what was going to happen, it still managed to make me cry. Don't think it won't be exciting or interesting just because you already know her origin, Williams and Rucka really pull you in and keep it very exciting. Kate Kane is definitely my comic book hero, and is truly an inspiration. If you are just getting into Batwoman or comics, this is a great place to start. Of course you may be disappointed when no other series can compare! What a shame Batwoman 52 is about to come to an end, this really is as good as it gets people, and I am very sad to see such a creative and talented team leave, but I do understand completely. I highly recommend this book to Kate Kane, DC and comic book fans everywhere! Enjoy!

Renews faith in comics
Decided to dive into the DC Comics New 52 and in preparation for Batwoman #1, I decided to pick up this book as a recommendation to getting the full story on this relatively new character to the DC world. This comic renewed my faith in comic books as both great stories and great pieces of art! Greg Rucka crafts a great story here but the artist JH Williams III presents it to you. You get to know this character here in more ways than just a quick reference. Batwoman is given the desire to serve her fellow man as her motivation. She is given the demographic of a Jewish lesbian soldier with a solid family background which is something we don't see much in our universe of white dominated or scarred superheroes. Sure she lost her mother and twin sister as at a young age, but she isn't damaged here. She rises above and serves only to be disappointed by trust issues in her life. But Rucka and Williams make her a bold woman who just keeps going like a shark, surviving because its her instinct and not her desire to escape something. This is the 21st Century woman superhero. Panels of note for me were: 1) how they presented the apartment Batwoman's alter ego lived in, 2) a beautiful full page spread showing the fight on the plane between Batwoman and Alice, 3) a transition panel where Batwoman and Alice are shown on the phone to each other, 4) a touching series where Batwoman as a child and her twin sister realize they are moving because of military orders and their life will change and they swear to always be there for each other. If you want to take a chance on the DC Comics reboot, take a chance on Batwoman #1 and get this one to bring you up to speed, you won't be sorry. A great twist for any new reader wanting to test the graphic novel/comic book scene.

Beautiful Art, Compelling Story
The birth of Kate Kane as Batwoman is one of my favorite graphic novels in my collection. I already owned the digital edition on my iPad, but the art by J.H. Williams was just too amazing not to see in print. This artist knows how to draw beautifully artistic pages; right down to the panels themselves. I also love the style shift from nighttime Batwoman to daytime Kate Kane. The story is really great, especially the ending of Elegy! I also really loved the back stories that follow, showing the history of Kate Kane and how she became the Batwoman. Its also good to know that the New 52 timeline in DC didn't delete all this continuity. Batwoman isn't another Batman flunkie. She's a strong woman and an amazing character that Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams really bring to life in this book.
