When you consider the quality and reputation of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters aren't as well received as some of the more favored names like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their classic chic appeal, but for anyone looking to purchase a modern scooter, it's hard to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:
1) Suzuki scooters are economical to both purchase and maintain
My first Suzuki was a dirt bike back in 1986. It ran flawlessly, was gorgeous, and was one of the least expensive models on the market, considering the quality of the bike. Suzuki's scooters are no different: you get a lot of value for what you pay.
2) They are economical to operate
Depending on the engine size you purchase, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.
3) They are expertly engineered
Suzuki scooters are engineered to the highest standards of reliability, and are well known for their smooth operation, easy clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the convenience of a smooth clutch system, especially for younger riders who might be more prone to distraction!
4) They are safe
Along with their exceptional engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might not expect. For example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced suspension system. Think that's there for comfort? If so, you'd be partially correct. It's there for both comfort and safety. By keeping vertical travel to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is increased.
5) There is a wide selection
Whether you're looking for small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model that suits you perfectly. For local riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all the horsepower you need. But you can step up to a 450cc model for around $6,000, and move all the way up to a 650cc for around $9,000.
Like their full-size counterparts, Suzuki scooters are known for their characteristics of engineering and quality. If you're looking for a premium scooter at a great price, make sure to investigate a Suzuki. When you start looking at prices, you'll discover that there is also a good second hand scooter market, so do your research before buying!
Note: I am NOT a representative of Suzuki Motors -- just a customer who likes their fun and cool products.
