papa al Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 With about 99% of the bikes in Thailand being step-through scooters or cub-likes, I'm thinking there would be a market for a cheap conventionally configured 110 or 125cc alternative. These appeal to me more than the more expensive 14" rim Zoomer or X bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the engine is such an old design it gets grandfather rights :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was richardbkk claiming that carbed engines could not get approved...and much like many of his other predictions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this bike were offered by Honda it would sell sell sell, swell. Offerings by the likes of Stallion...expect minuscule sales, despite the attractive retro design.

taichiplanet Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) What does the HU stand for? i am vacillating between Hell Unleashed and Horizons Unlimited, but it is probably something boring like Hardy Utilitarian. As you can see, i am Highly Uninformed. Edited February 8, 2015 by taichiplanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 When the numbers come in, a year from now, expect the sales to be surprisingly low. Suzuki just can't shift bikes in Thailand. I am not sure why that is, marketing, sheep mentality of consumers, reliability, unfashionable? But consumers aren't buying them in any numbers at any point on the price spectrum or model range. e.g. Sonic (no longer made) outsold the Raider massively. Versys outsells the V-Strom massively. Wave outsells the Step massively. My first bike was a Suzuki GP 100. It may share quite a lot of features with this bike. The tank of this model has a distinctive Suzuki shape.

pbas400 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) who bought the Suzuki? is it a good bike? thks Edited June 6, 2015 by pbas400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 who bought the Suzuki? is it a good bike? thks It MUST be very good value for money. They are fairly small and have narrow tires. If you are like me 90+ kg it might not be the best bike for you. I really like it for what it is. Simple, reliable and cheap. And retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I saw a red one parked the other day. It was tricked with upgraded wheels, tires, struts, bar, levers. Looked very nice. Very nice. Edited June 6, 2015 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 As RichardBKK has informed , many times , smaller engined bikes ( below 250 ? ) are exempt from certain emission tests , so can use carbs to keep costs down . Shame the Suzuki has a drum front brake . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This week I saw one of these at the Mityon used bike lot next to their service department on Pattaya Tai. It is new and discounted to 30,000 baht. First thing I noticed was the front drum brake.. Hard to see how they will sell it when the auto scooters beat it for technology and practicality i.e. under seat storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
