Suzuki - available from our Brighton store
In 1909, Michio Suzuki founded the Suzuki Loom Company in the small seacoast village of Hamamatsu, Japan. But despite the success of his looms, Suzuki realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Unfortunately the onset of World War II halted production plans for Suzuki's innovative 800cc small car. After the war, the Japanese had a great need for affordable, reliable personal transportation. To fill this need Suzuki developed a motorized bicycle called, the "Power Free." Designed to be inexpensive, simple to build and maintain the 1952 Power Free featured a 36cc two-stroke engine. By 1954, Suzuki was producing 6,000 motorcycles per month and had officially changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. Today Suzuki is one of the world's leading manufacturers of motorcycles.

Ever since we introduced the Suzuki Hayabusa, it's had only one competitor: Itself. That's why the new 2008 Hayabusa is so impressive - compared to the original, it's hotter than ever. For enthusiasts, that comparison will make your heart pound.
The new Hayabusa's engine is thoroughly updated for more power and an improved power-to-weight ratio, which you'll experience as an even greater rush of acceleration. Its refined chassis and suspension help provide crisper handling. And its striking new fairing offers sleeker aerodynamics. The original Hayabusa was the best. With the 2008 Hayabusa, you're looking at better than the best.

GSX-R1000
If any bike can claim to rule the racetrack, this is it. By applying the latest technology and years of hard fought racing experience, Suzuki's latest generation 2008 GSX-R1000 is designed to deliver what the rider wants, when the rider wants it.
The compact 999cc liquid-cooled engine with Suzuki's Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system has been developed to offer excellent power and throttle response. Three engine power settings are available at the flick of a handle-bar mounted switch, each with its own engine map depending on road or track conditions.
The adjustable back-torque limiting clutch makes for smoother downshifts while the high-volume titanium/ stainless steel Suzuki Advanced Exhaust Systems (SAES) features an under-body chamber and two low-slung mufflers for increased internal volume and lower centre of gravity. Also contributing to the advanced aerodynamics is the aggressively style bodywork, slicing the air with the smallest frontal area possible.

DR-Z400E
This is the bike that, unlike any other, fits the description of a dirt-churning weapon. The bike that year after year rocks its rivals, this year comes loaded with high-tech ammunition.The DR-Z's motivation comes from 398cc of displacement, DOHC with four huge valves and liquid cooling. The forged piston is 10% lighter than one conventionally cast, an L-shaped top piston ring reduces blow-by, while copious use of aluminium and magnesium lowers weight and improves heat transfer.
Putting this power into practice you get a thumper producing great wads of power right off the bottom, a strong delivery that builds right through the mid range and enough torque to grunt you up anything. No wider than many 250's, yet just as agile, the seat is comfortably rounded, the steering poised and precise.The frame is thin-wall, chrome-moly steel tubing in a combination of round and rectangular cross-section, delivering superb rigidity with minimum weight.

RM-Z450
With its perfect balance of performance and handling, Suzuki's latest 450 weapon was born to dominate. Strong, controllable power delivery complemented by extraordinarily lightweight handling means you can launch out of corners with breathtaking acceleration and attack the gnarliest sections of the track with total confidence.
At the heart of this beast is a powerful titanium-valved 4-stroke engine, with improved performance, particularly at the bottom and mid-ranges. This is thanks to reshaped intake ports, higher compression, iridium spark plugs and revised carburettor settings. The lightweight exhaust system boasts a longer titanium header pipe for more power, yet is kept quieter with a new FIM-spec muffler.
