When you consider the quality and reputation of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters aren't as popular as some of the more favored names like Vespas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their vintage chic appeal, but for anyone looking to purchase a modern scooter, it's tough to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:
1) Suzuki scooters are inexpensive to both purchase and operate
My first Suzuki was a motorcycle back in the Eighties. It ran like a champ, was stunning to look at, and was one of the cheapest models available, considering the quality of the bike. Suzuki's motor scooters are the same: you get a lot of value for what you pay.
2) They are fuel efficient
Depending on the engine size you select, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the motorcycle replacements) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.
3) They are expertly crafted
Suzuki scooters are engineered to the highest standards of reliability, and are well known for their flawless operation, straightforward clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the importance of a smooth clutch system, especially for younger riders who might be easily distracted!
4) They are safe
Along with their exceptional engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might take for granted. For example, most Suzuki scooters have finely-tuned 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 the scooter wobble to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is improved.
5) There is a huge selection
Whether you're buying a small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model to fit your needs. For in-town riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all that you need. But you can step up to a 450cc model for around $6,000, and step even further up to a 650cc for around $9,000.
Like their motorcycle cousins, Suzuki scooters are known for their characteristics of engineering and reliability. If you're looking for a top of the line scooter that won't break the bank, make sure to investigate a Suzuki. When you begin looking at prices, you'll discover that there is also a good second hand scooter market, so do your research before buying!
