I had reviewed these 2 Suzuki motorcycles within a span of a week from one another, hence I could recall their performances and agilities within that period while still fresh from memory. To be honest, there’s not much differences between these 2 Suzuki motorcycles. They are both easy-to-ride, very agile and great for lane-splitting tasks…
The 2-½ years of lockdown due to the global Covid-19 pandemic had caused almost everything to come to a halt. And media test ride is no exception to the freeze. When Suzuki Motorcycle Sdn Bhd, which is the new company set-up to import and distribute the Japanese brand locally, decided it’s time to organise such…
This site recently tested Suzuki’s V-Strom 650XT Adventure motorcycle, and despite certain limitations which the ADV bike has, the overall verdict is excellent. Now, its larger sibling, the Suzuki V-Strom 1050XT Adventure gets the shakedown test. However, things didn’t get off to a great start at the beginning. I would say it was mighty hilarious…
Much have been said about Suzuki’s Katana motorcycle, which is of 999cc inline four design, over its predecessor, the Katana GSX1100S. As far as I am concerned, it’s a new motorcycle, the handling and characteristics are better, sharper and faster than the original configuration. Of course, there are a few limitations on the new Katana, but I…
As the trend goes, whenever the manufacturer has 2 models of the same motorcycle available, a standard unit and a racer replica version, the idea is to have a go at the former first, then only the latter. However, I get to taste it the other way for Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 (standard) and GSX-R1000R (replica) superbikes recently….
The Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ADV motorcycle has been around for quite a while in the Malaysian market, courtesy of its previous importer. But ADV bikes aren’t our forte when it comes for reviews. With Malaysian riders having grown to accept ADV bikes more than ever, we decided to review some of them, starting with the 650XT. First, let’s talk…
Supersports and superbikes are my preference over the likes of dirt, naked, touring and adventure motorcycles. When the call came for the opportunity to do a review ride of Suzuki’s famed GSX-R1000R, it was accepted whole heartedly without question. Also fondly known as its popular nickname of Gixxer, from its GSX-R namesake, this 1000cc inline…
At first glance, the Suzuki SV650 looks like a Ducati Streetfighter, with its gleaming Pearl White color option (our review unit) and a red steel trellis chassis. Plus the obvious view of its 90° V-Twin amidst the chassis. And having had to answer the question in the affirmative or otherwise. Like over social media where the majority failed to read the caption of a given…
Yes, you read it right. This Suzuki GSX-S750 is a model year 2017 machine, not a 2020 nor 2021 edition. The entire batch has been sold out while you are reading this.
The new 2019 Kawasaki Z400 is the manufacturer’s answer to Honda’s 2018 CB500F. Possessing a maximum of 45hp for a 399cc parallel twin engine and a lighter kerb weight of just 174kg, which is 17kg lighter than the Honda, giving the new Z400 a slight edge in overall handling. However, it should be noted that…
Honda had celebrated the 25th anniversary for its CBR1000RR/Fireblade milestone via the introduction of not one, not two but three different variants of the Model Year 2017 CBR1000RR Fireblade motorcycle. The three variants are the Fireblade CBR1000RR Standard; Fireblade CBR1000RR SP and Fireblade CBR1000RR SP2. The Standard variant features a black chassis, is equipped with…
As mentioned in the first impression ride article, I have to admit that the MY 2019 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic is indeed quite large and longer in length over most other motorcycles, including both the Z250 Streetfighter and Ninja 400 supersport which I had also tested on that day, leaving me wondering if I might…
