The new Suzuki GSX650F now available in showroom
The new Suzuki GSX650F is now available for viewing in our showroom. This model has had a great reception from the British press. See below what Superbike Magazine had to say about the bike:

SuperBike rides the new Suzuki GSX650F at the European launch in France ...
“If you just look at the spec sheet, Suzuki's new GSX650F is, essentially, a Bandit 650 in a party frock. But it's actually much better than that might suggest. OK, the motor is similar to the Bandit's lump, with revised fuel injection adding a bit more shove. And the chassis isn't a million miles away from the Bandit either, bodywork aside. But the way the GSX works as a package is pretty impressive.
Charging round the incredible roads near Beziers, the little 650 has been a real treat. It has a spunky, torquey motor in a capable road chassis. There's enough performance for experienced riders to have a ball on, while remaining manageable for novices. Indeed, pushing the GSX towards its limits on the roads we've been on today has been more satisfying in some ways than a proper sportsbike would have been.
“Best of all, the GSX is a cheap pleasure: £4,999 of your English pounds is the list price, and that's a pretty impressive pounds/laughs ratio.”
