2026 Suzuki GSX-8T
The numbers
Where the price sits
6 listings match this machine, but the dearest asks more than half again what the cheapest does. A median across that is a number with nothing behind it, so it is withheld rather than dressed up. The ask is shown on its own instead.
A comparable is the same make, model, year and trim, within 3,999 miles of this odometer and 500 miles of this dealer. Unpriced listings are ignored, this one is excluded, and a dealer posting the same machine twice counts once.
