Talking about Suzukis, pretty much the only Japanese make I don't like.  For the following reasons....

1/ Following a 750 3 cylinder thing, two up, he accelerated hard away from a roundabout, and the back wheel collapsed.  Most of the spokes had pulled out of the hub.

2/  The only manufacturer to introduce 3 (that's THREE) brand new, and different models of 250 all within a 12 month period.  One was that horrible thing with the ducting over the cylinder head, the others have faded away.

3/  When they introduced four strokes in the late 70s, with shaft drive.  A friend who worked for the local Suzuki agent showed me the shaft from a GS750 (??) with all the teeth missing.  It had done less than 1,000 miles.


They clearly can do it when they try, but they should have tried harder back then.

cheers

wakeup
