2012 V-Strom 650 ABS

In 2002, Suzuki introduced the V-Strom 1000 in a new motorcycle category, the Sport Enduro Tourer. Its running performance and packaging earned worldwide acclaim. In 2003, Suzuki released the V-Strom 650 targeting a wider range of users. This versatile model covers not only daily use such as commuting, but also weekend touring as well. With the addition of an ABS-equipped model in 2006, the V-Strom 650 has always been the best-selling model in its class. To further improve its running performance and riding comfort, Suzuki decided to develop a new model.

For 2012, Suzuki is introducing the new and improved V-Strom 650 ABS. The development concept for the 2012 model was "The Comfortable Adventure Tourer". While enhancing the proven running performance and in-town versatility of the current model, Suzuki improved the riding comfort even further on the 2012 V-Strom. Its new V-Twin 645cc engine features improved overall performance in the low-to-mid rpm range and the styling and bodywork design was revamped for better wind protection. In addition, fuel economy and environmental performance were also enhanced.

2012 will mark the 10th anniversary of the V-Strom series since its introduction. Suzuki hopes the new V-Strom 650 ABS will be enjoyed by many more riders.

The brand-new, redesigned 2011 GSX-R750 is the latest version of the original GSX-R – the championship-winning sport bike that is literally in a class of its own. While the unrivaled GSX-R750’s only challenge is outdoing itself, the all-new 2011 model responds with bold styling and exceptional performance. On the road or on the track, the 2011 GSX-R750 delivers a riding experience that is a breathtaking combination of outstanding engine performance, swift handling, compact size and light weight. The key to the GSX-R750’s racetrack-conquering speed and agile handling is the pairing of its powerful inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve 750cc engine into the lightweight, compact chassis of a 600cc Supersport. It’s a winning combination that will allow any rider to experience the exhilarating rush of a middleweight AMA Supersport bike.
