Suzuki wants to become the absolute leader !
Already first in the market in more than 125 for four years, Suzuki has progressed from third to second place in the market this year by including 125 sales. The Japanese present in Paris a dozen new products for next year… Stand tower.
One constant at the 2007 World Championship: Suzuki’s stated wish is to meet the most general demand possible. The brand has forged a strong image thanks to its sports cars, but wants to be able to offer a wider range to consumers..
A desire that is asserted with all new machines, from the B-KING which has already not failed to make the front page of the Site (read) to the DR 125 SM, including the new GSX-R 600 and 750 or the first injection cross-country machine (RM-Z 450), or the Hayabusa 1300, the Intruder C1800R or the 650 GSX-F already presented in Rome (read) !
The new small Gex
As one would expect, after the 1000 last year (read), the GSX-R 600 and 750 evolve in 2008. Their five-part aluminum frames are reworked "for better handling of the machine on the track, even at full angles", assures the manufacturer.
Engine level, the Gex received some modifications which, for example, allow the 600 to see its compression ratio go from 12.5: 1 to 12.8: 1 thanks to a new combustion chamber, and the 750 to see its zone red peak at 15,000 rpm.
Their line still "racing" retains the distinctive style of the brand, but the front optics change greatly compared to that of the old models..
The footrests are adjustable, the clutch is anti-dribble, the steering damper is electronic, the injection is sequential and three maps are selectable: these Supersport give in to all the whims of their potential buyers !
Cross injected
The must of the novelty for the followers of motocross, the RM-Z 450 is the first cross machine with injection! A splendid machine very well equipped, with an original aluminum tank gives it a "factory" taste that will not go unnoticed on the ground. !
Bandit-R
On a Bandit basis, this brand new road that already existed in 600 or 750 is an interesting evolution. Sporting GSX-R styling and Bandit gear, it seems like a tempting compromise.
"The 650 displacement is in the heart of the French market, the GSX-F will definitely be a big sale", announces Pierre-Laurent Feriti."It is the return of road cars at Suzuki", specifies the communication manager of the brand:"this model is intended for the general public, all bikers in general. It will be released in dealerships at the end of the year but its price has not yet been defined."… Case to follow on Site !
Intruder C1800R
Apart from the engine, identical to the M1800R, the Intruder is brand new. Chassis, trim, many changes establish the character of the machine.
– Not that – for kids
Adjacent to the 125 Address, to which a site has already dedicated an article (read), the DR 125 SM is undoubtedly one of the stars of the youth at the World Cup.
"Came out of nowhere", explains Pierre-Laurent Feriti, communications manager at Suzuki France, this pretty little Supermoto with electronic injection is a complete novelty. It should appeal to young and old alike who want to taste the pleasures of motorcycling with their B license. !
On the Suzuki stand you can also find two nice little novelties for all terrain initiation for young and old with the DRZ 70 with automatic gearbox (3 gears) and electric starter. Its saddle height of 560mm will allow rascals to get on it from an early age … and the 125 L, which is aimed at older children with its 805 mm saddle height.
