In 1971 the GT750 2-stroke surprises people with its three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. In North America, it’s nicknamed the Water Buffalo; in the UK they call them Kettles. Also the TM400A motocrosser goes into production, a 396cc bike designed for 500cc motocross races. With the GS...
The GSX-R1000’s 4-into-2-into-1 thin-wall stainless-steel Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (S-AES) is also designed to increase high-rpm horsepower without reducing mid-range and lower-rpm power. GSX-R1000 models have long used a servo-operated Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) butterfly valve b...
3 out of 5 (3/5) Bandits are reasonably well finished and aside from a bit of corrosion here and there and the well-known exhaust rust the main issue with early Bandits comes from the wiring loom, which can rub and wear through, leading to electrical problems. The steel frame can rus...
Power remains unchanged but in confirming to EURO 3 emissions standards, I can’t help but wonder if the bottom end has suffered slightly. Sure, a CVT never offers the sharpest of throttle response but the Burgman would definitely benefit from a slip-on exhaust, like on theTMAX Black Max I...
Instead, it was known to be able to build large, economical and practically ”bulletproof” machines like T500 and later GT750. It wasn't until the late-mid 1970's Suzuki also started to make four-strokes in a larger scale. But the two-stroke engines stayed alive on small and cheap ...

Powering the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 is an updated 999cc, liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine that builds its superbike performance heritage through key refinements aimed at delivering smooth and powerful performance across the rev range. The new motor features an updated 4-2-...
exhaust, and ten-spoke cast aluminum wheels all speak “whole new bike”. During my first walk around, my eyes kept veering towards ‘the beak’. This is not a case of Suzuki jumping aboard a styling bandwagon, but rather an homage being paid to the 80s era Suzuki DR750/800 Paris to...

After briefly testing the Suzuki GW250 in Florida several months ago, we asked Suzuki for a bike that we could ride here in Southern California. As you probably know, the U.S. market for smaller displacement bikes is relatively strong, and we felt Suzuki’s entry into that segment needed ...
