HIGHLIGHTS:
ENGINE
Delivering excellent throttle response through the entire rev range, the 449cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, DOHC engine is the latest incarnation of Suzuki's proven fuel-injected powerplant that delivers high peak horsepower with strong torque characteristics. Engine starting is simple and efficient due to a long kickstart lever, well-matched internal gear ratios, a large air cleaner and breather system, plus an automatic decompression system that works precisely and efficiently. Suzuki's advanced fuel-injection system creates extra-smooth power delivery, high fuel efficiency, and superb reliability.
TRANSMISSION
Thanks to Suzuki's design and production standards, shifting the five-speed transmission is smooth and precise, while the multi-plate, wet clutch uses a lever and cam release mechanism for a light and direct feel. The well-sorted, five-speed transmission enables precise gear shift operation. This precise transmission feel is the result of an accurately machined shift cam for exact gear selection.
STYLE
The Suzuki beak-inspired styling has sharp front fender and radiator shroud shapes that blend into the frame's side covers and into an upswept tail. This functional styling and trim chassis permit a variety of rider positions that facilitate maneuvering and comfort. Made with a special density foam, the seat is well shaped and slim to help the rider maneuver the motorcycle. The seat has a large blue gripper panel that runs nose-to-tail on the cover.
COLOR OPTION:
• Champion Yellow No. 2
