From a press release issued by Suzuki:

Suzuki has launched two sporty new graphics kit options for its GSX-S1000 and GSX-8S models.

Available from £160 for the 8S and £250 for the GSX-S1000, excluding fitting, the kits can be purchased from authorised Suzuki dealerships at point of sale or retrospectively, for existing customers that want to add something extra to their machines.

On the GSX-S1000 the wrap adds bold Suzuki branding to the side of the tank and radiator shrouds, with lines that flow from the seat unit to the front mudguard. The 8S’ sticker kit employs the same effect as the model’s own logo design, with broken chevrons running along the seat, tank, and side panels.
