Suzuki Japan 10 years on have gone backwards, they missed the opportunity to take the lead :no:

Same opportunity they missed in 2008 Mark.  I felt the same disappointment with the 2 as you do with the 3.

It's a real shame but it looks like they've done the same thing again.  No money to spend so they've tweaked the existing bike to meet new regs and tried to convince everyone that it's new.  Hill start, ffs!

I'd have loved to see a short stroke big bore rev happy motor, something like a gen 1 63mm stroke with 86mm offset bores - 1464cc would have had me at their door.  All fits within the existing frame and bodywork.

So that's it then John, on with Project Swansong :hyper:

They should have taken advice from the Handforth Parish council, THEN we'd have had summat special. :nod:
