Suzuki Scooters: Likely Better than you Think!

Considering the quality and reputation of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters aren't as well received as some of the more favored names like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their classic chic appeal, but for anyone wanting to buy a modern scooter, it's tough to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:

1) Suzuki scooters are economical to both buy and run

My first Suzuki was a dirt bike back in 1986. It ran like a champ, was stunning to look at, and was one of the most economical bikes on the market, taking into account the quality of the bike. Suzuki's scooters are similar: you get a lot of value for your dollar.

2) They are fuel efficient

Depending on the size of the engine you select, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly fuel efficient.

3) They are expertly engineered

Suzuki scooters are engineered to the highest standards of reliability, and are well known for their smooth operation, easy clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the convenience of a smooth clutch system, especially for less experienced owners who might be more prone to distraction!

4) They are safe

Along with their excellent engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might take for granted. For example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced 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 vertical travel to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is improved.

5) There is a huge selection

Whether you're looking for small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model that suits you perfectly. For local riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all the horsepower you need. But you can step up to a 450cc engine for around $6,000, and move all the way up to a 650cc for around $9,000.

Like their motorcycle cousins, Suzuki scooters are known for their traits of performance and quality. If you're looking for a top of the line scooter at a reasonable price, make sure to check out a Suzuki. When you start price shopping, you'll find that there is also a good second hand scooter market, so do your research before making a decision!
