SUZUki GSX1250 may hit india
Riders looking to buy a new bike as well as motorcycle clothing may want to take a look at the Suzuki GSX1250FA.
The sports tourer has been the most registered sports tourer since its release this year, and has now been named Machine of the Year in the all-rounder category by the Motorcycle News (MCN).
Suzuki claims that the bike's popularity with people in motorcycle clothing is a reflection of its reliability and fuel economy, while also offering exceptional value for money.
David Taylor, Suzuki GB's director of sales and marketing, said the company was delighted to accept the MCN, as it was voted for by members of the public who buy bikes and motorcycle clothing.
"To be awarded best all-rounder by MCN really is the icing on the cake and should only reaffirm our customers belief in the GSX1250FA," he said.
Suzuki recently announced its 2011 racing programme - a subsidised opportunity for UK amateur racers to get access to reduced-price products.

class product that meets their requirements. The Suzuki SlingShot offers a complete package in terms of
Style, Comfort, Performance and Practicality – all combined in a 125 cc bike. The customer wanted a bike
that was as frugal on fuel as a 100 cc bike, yet had the looks to match a 150 cc premium bike combined
with a price point that made the product affordable yet met all requirements – which the Suzuki SlingShot
offers.”
Inspired by its bigger siblings the GSX-R series, the Suzuki SlingShot boasts of sharp edgy head lamps,
an all new front fender design and a convenient gear position indicator for ease in riding in city traffic. A
state-of-the-art engine fed by a BS carburettor with a Throttle Position Switch (TPS) optimizes the ignition
timing coupled with a DC – CDI along with the Suzuki Pulsed-secondary AIR-injection (PAIR) system
results in obtaining high combustion efficiency for enhanced mileage and reduced emissions.
With a newly designed sturdy upswept frame construct with a longer swing arm coupled with a preload
adjustable rear suspension and a race inspired light weight alloy provides the Suzuki Sling Shot with the
