What on earth was that all about?

[Andre]

The message seems to be: "We don't have anything really new. So put the keys away and do something else that is fun. There is life beyond riding motorcycles."

[KiwiCol]

Going to be a new / updated, trail / off roader?

[Mister Fishfinger]

Perhaps there's another Suzuki company that makes watches and tents.

[seth]

Another SV650 motor in a off road style bike or dl1000 update ?
Hope it's something new .
🤔 

[Andre]

Maybe back to the roots?

[Tony Nitrous]

It'll be news if it doesn't use the same old SV / GSX-S / DR / TU engine yet again and it's not another GSXR1000.

A replacement for the 20 year old Busa is waaaaay overdue.

Think i found new Suzuki

[Kiwifruit]

Maybe back to the roots?

Have to say l was a bit disappointed when l visited the Suzuki museum in Hamamatsu.
Plenty of looms but not so many bikes.
Maybe the new model is a fly rod 

[GSXKING]

Think i found new Suzuki

I bet it's quick though @grog 

[VladTepes]

Well that was completely nothing.

Suzukis overall product refreshment approach can be seen with the DR650.
Anyone who buys a new DR650 is out of their MIND !
Get a 10 year old one, it's the same (not just similar, THE SAME) and much cheaper.

Suzuki really has to lift their bloody game.

They seem to think that participating in motoGP is enough to keep customers coming through the door.

/rant over

You could have walked into a Suzuki showroom year ago (in some cases MANY years ago!) and bought any of those bikes / engines with a few different panels and paint wrapped around them.

I understand some were great designs and deserved a long life, but times and tech has moved on,  and Suzuki really haven't.

Suzuki knew well in advance that the Busa, their flagship bike, would fail compliance on Jan 1st 2017, but were allowed a 2 year extension in some markets, now nearly 3 years after failing Euro-4 and several years after being warned they have no Premier Class or Sports Tourer to replace it.   

Even the GS500 is still being sold in some countries that haven't yet banned it, a 30 year old bike based around a much older one.

I love my Suzuki's but it's a bit sad really.

The history of the gs500 is.
gs400 Became gs425 and gs250 with points
It then got gsx badge and 4 valve heads and electronic ignition (an ignition that also fitted all the bigger cc suzuki's including 4 cyclinder models and worked perfectly) later then became the gsx500 then ended up the gs500e
I always wanted a gsx500 then get it bored out using 2xgsx1260 big borekit piston's to make it a gsx630 but never had the time would have been interesting. 
It's amazing how many parts were shared or were interchangeable between Suzuki's in the 70's and 80's

Guy I know had a fuel injected turbo charged GS500 with USD forks etc.
Went OK.
