On the tech side, the 2013 Suzuki DR-Z125 comes with a 4-stroke air-cooled 124cc engine with low-mid-range-oriented torque and power deployment for seamless handling at moderate speed.

The 5-speed gearbox makes it suitable for dirt and trail use, while at the same time renders it as a nice city-carving bike for daily commuting Both bikes feature aggressive bodywork that makes them stylistic replicas of the championship-winning RM-Z machines. Their performance virtues, though, go a lot deeper than that. Both bikes set the class standard for precise, agile handling. Beginning and more experienced riders will appreciate their controllable powerband and strong low-end and mid-range power. And larger riders can choose the DR-Z125L, featuring larger wheels and a front disc brake.

2012 GSX-R 1000 Test Drive

Suzuki has pulled the covers off of its 2012 GSX-R1000, and the bike brings a smattering of mechanical improvements to an already capable platform. All told, the machine is just under 4.5 pounds lighter than last year. Part of that savings comes from specially-developed pistons that are 11 percent lighter than those found in the previous-generation GSX-R1000. Suzuki says the components were developed using technology borrowed from its MotoGP efforts. The same goes for the engine tappets, which are 2.5 grams lighter than the old pieces. The new hardware means that the 2012 GSX-R1000 can use a revised exhaust cam profile for reduced valve overlap.

The basic architecture of the liquid-cooled Inline Four, including bore/stroke measurements and capacity remain unchanged. What has changed is the operating efficiency and overall responsiveness through a combination of mechanical and electronic revisions.

New Suzuki GSX-R1000 keep using Final Drive: Chain, DID50VAZ, 114 links and is supported by 6-Speed Constan Mesh Transmission System. Acceleration Suzuki GSX-R1000 is very fast because it is supported with a high compression which is equipped with fuel injection and ignition system Electronic With Transistorized. While construction 999 cc engine in 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000 will not be much different from the construction engine in 2011. Because of 2011 engine construction is pretty good and optimized to improve engine performance when driven at high speed.

2012 Suzuki DR-Z 400 S Review

2012 Suzuki DR-Z 400 S Review Take the DR-Z400S down a twisty forest trail and its off-road performance will get your heart pounding. Its lightweight, compact design provides crisp handling everywhere from tight trails to wide-open fire roads. Its advanced suspension front and rear soaks up tough terrain with ease. And it's liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine boasts strong low RPM torque and a crisp throttle response, allowing you to blast out of corners and accelerate hard down the trail.

Suzuki has been selling the DR-Z400 since 2000, and since then has developed a huge network of loyal customers. With the ultra-popular DR350 as a predecessor, the 400 has built on that success and continues to this day as a simple, effective dual-sport machine. The last time we tested a DR-Z400 was back in 2003, and the company was still offering a kickstart-only model. These days, Suzuki only offers the 400S (dual-sport) and 400SM (motard/DS), neither of which come with a foot-operated starter.

Off-road or on the street, the DR-Z400S provides strong torque across the powerband and amazing throttle response. And it features remarkably smooth performance, complemented by conveniences such as electric starting and a compact, easy-to-read instrument cluster.

On the street, the great little motor and willing gearbox easily propel those 317 pounds as though riding a ballerina around town. Firm suspension is even firmer on the road, and the seat feels like a loaf of frozen bread—neither of which would be so bad if the ground weren’t so far away. For me, every stop requires full perineal pronation. If you’re six feet tall and weigh about 160 with a well-padded butt, you might love the DR-Z. It’ll zot right up past 90 mph or so, and it cruises okay for short hops at 70.

2012 Suzuki DR-Z400S Specs:

• Bore X Stroke: 90.0 X 62.6 mm (3.543 X 2.465 in)

• Displacement: 398cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, single cylinder, DOHC

• Compression Ratio: 11.3 : 1

• Fuel System: MIKUNI BSR36, single

2012 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Test Drive

2012 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Test Drive The Suzuki V-Strom 1000 was first introduced in 2002; it got its V-Strom name by the “V” of its 996cc V-twin engine, and the German word “Strom” which translates roughly to power. The V-Strom 1000 has had a great deal of success in America, but it has not been sold here since 2009.

Currently the V-Strom comes in two variations: the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650, which differ only in the displacement of its engine. The V-Strom 1000 is powered by a 996cc V-Twin engine as used in the decommissioned Suzuki TL1000R sportbike and TL1000S street bike, while the V-Strom 650 shares the 645cc V-Twin from the SV650 and Gladius models. Both engines feature liquid-cooling and high efficiency 8-valve cylinder heads. Other similarities include six-speed transmissions, comfortable upright ergonomics, excellent wind protection and a large fuel tank making the V-Strom an excellent companion for extended motorcycle rides.

The suspension system is still comprised of a cartridge-style 43mm front fork with adjustable preload and a link-type rear suspension with adjustable rebound damping and preload. Both offer 6.3 inches of travel.Stopping power is provided by twin-piston calipers with a 310mm rotor up front and a single-piston caliper gripping a 260mm rotor at the rear. Unlike with the 650 version, the V-Strom 1000 models will not be offered with ABS.

2012 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Specs:

• Bore Stroke: 98.0 mm (3.858 in) x 66.0 mm (2.598 in)

• Compression Ratio: 11.3 : 1

New 2012 Suzuki V-Strom DL650

New 2012 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 Two Brothers Racing has released new exhaust for the Suzuki DL650 V-Strom - the V.A.L.E. two-in-one 3/4 Race Systems. The Suzuki DL650 V-Strom combines the minimalist appeal of a naked street fighter with the supreme usability of Suzuki's rider friendly, low-maintenance 650cc twin engine that first saw service on the SV650 introduced in 1999. The end result is a ride that's all about riding.

We've already covered superb twin-powered machines like the SV650 and Kawasaki's Ninja 650R. But lately there's been an influx of more unconventional twins that an entry-level-or even "returning to the sport"-rider can choose from. These bikes have interestingly gone against the established norms that have been typical of the class for years.

In the twisty stuff, or on dirt, gravel and other unimproved roads, the DL650 V-Strom is even better than I expected it to be. It changes direction effortlessly, while maintaining good stability and inspiring a feeling of confidence. I was afraid that it might be a little flighty or twitchy, but even after riding the thing like a loon, my fears turned out to be entirely unfounded. On highways and interstates, the 650 offers good wind protection and the adjustable windscreen allowed me to create a cruising environment that was free from the annoying buffeting that often plagues faired bikes.

The advantage of the aftermarket mount is that it enables your windshield to be adjusted for 25 degrees of tilt angle as well as 3″ (76mm) of height. And you can do that without any special tools while you are seated on your motorcycle. Another big benefit of this bracket is that it allows the air to flow under the windshield as well as over it.

New Suzuki GW250 Launch China

New Suzuki GW250 Launch China This is the GW250 bike competing in the 250cc segment. This move comes after the steady growth in the Indian two wheeler segment, which the company is quite bullish about. The bike is expected to be priced between INR 1.5 to 2 lakhs.

Suzuki needs to launch a product which sends the shrill down the corridor of the competition as none of bikes like the Slingshot and the GS150R have done something the competition should worry about. There’s no excitement in Suzuki products.

The new GW250 is claimed to adopt a modern, luxurious and strong design. Supported by the new twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, with smooth vibrations. Aggressive performance with qualified durability. In addition, the engine is also claimed to be environmentally friendly.

The design, including the chassis, headlight, seat, tail unit and even frame will mimic its bigger B-King brother in almost every way. The unit comes in at about 369 lbs. and should be priced very reasonably, though the exact number is unknown at this time.

The bike joins the herd of motorcycles models that are recommended for beginner riders, offering them the possibility of buying a bike that looks good, is fun to ride, and has a low price. Moreover, the best thing with the small-sized motorcycles is that they really hold their resale value.The main competitor of the GW250 is the CBR250R from Honda. Though the GW has a twin-cylinder unit, the power figures are very similar to the single-cylinder CBR with both the bikes producing a similar amount of power. However, for this to be a fair battle between the two Japanese motorcycle makers, Honda would have to come up with a completely new 250cc baby Hornet.

2011 Suzuki Burgman 400 ABS Concept

2011 Suzuki Burgman 400 ABS Concept There are a lot of labels to describe the niche that Suzuki Burgman aims to fill: Touring scooter. Maxi-scoot. Super scooter. But there’s one brand that the Burgman 400 ABS should wear with pride: car replacement. Bigger scoots like the Burgman always defy classification especially stateside – because they’re not a motorcycle and they’re not a scooter, but they offer a heaping helping of what’s to like about both those categories.

Around town or on longer rides, the Burgman 400 offers an impressively comfortable ride. It has plush suspension, matched by a sleek, aerodynamic fairing that provides excellent protection from the wind. A stepped seat and an easily adjustable backrest for the rider provides comfortable seating mile after mile. And concave floorboards offer you and your passenger plenty of legroom.

The engine is paired with a -Speed Continuously Variable (CVT) transmission and total fuel capacity is 3.6 gallons. The Burgman 400 ABS rides on Aluminum wheels with a 120/80 R14M/C 58S front tire and a 150/70 R13M/C 64S rear tire. The front suspension is a Telescopic Fork while the rear suspension is a Single Sided Swing Arm. Front Dual Hydraulic Disc brakes and rear Hydraulic Disc brakes provide for the stopping power. The Burgman 400 ABS comes standard with a One-Piece, 2-passenger seating.

Out on the open road, you’d probably be surprised to know that the Burgman 400 can reach speeds of 150 km/h and above; actually, it surprised the driver of a BMW who thought he could pass me with his eyes closed as we were both merging onto the highway.

Suzuki GSR750

Suzuki GSR750 There are already many aggressive-looking “streetfighter” naked bikes on sale. One glance at Suzuki’s new, GSX-R750-based GSR750 would convince most people that the streetfighter sector is where it belongs.

It has all the trademark styling: a front-heavy look featuring a striking headlight, with a stripped-away rear section exposing a fat tyre and exhaust plumbing, while edges, swage lines and angles all lead the eye relentlessly forward and down to the front wheel. It shouts power, speed and attitude, and if you were making a buying decision on looks alone then a GSR would be on your shopping list.

It seems that the occurrence of GSR 750 would be motivated by the success enjoyed by the Kawasaki Z 750, one of the sites sold naked average in Europe, being otherwise naked and one in Japanese 750cmc segment.

Strong lines start at the front and move up and back. Including a carefully sculpted, vented front fender. A modern, vented headlight shell and integrated instrument cluster.

Inverted front forks, a design developed in racing and mandatory for a serious, high-performance machine. Molded rearview mirrors. Light and open radiator side panels combined with aggressive front bodywork sidepieces form the design.
