I like this new Suzi and I’m pleased Suzuki is supporting a motorcycle genre (S-T) that is now largely abandoned by other manufacturers.
Personally, I would prefer if it were fitted with a tweaked 1250 Bandit engine. I enjoyed my 1250 Bandit so much, a wonderfully smooth engine and a good touring machine. I have a feeling the 1000 may be a bit sporty for my touring liking, but to be fair, I haven’t ridden the new Suzi yet.
I’m still liking my magnificent ST1300 though, it’s a gem. Can it possibly be getting better than last year and the year before?
Maybe in years to come, a light weight bike like this Suzy could be considered. Even then, I will keep my ST and hang it on my shed wall (Note: strong brackets required
).
