DRZ70 to entice new blood into sport
to neglect this segment of the market, but in reality it's the most important area if we are to attract newcomers to the sport. With the increasing use of four-strokes, the DR-Z70 is a great introduction to off-road riding, and at a great price too". Joining

2010 Suzuki GSX1250FA road test review
By Tim Skilton on 10/08/2010 11:24:19

at it once in the whole 120-mile ride.Like the existing 1250, the FA’s armed with a height-adjustable seat, with 20mm of play available. My bike was on the lowest setting (805mm), which meant I was able to plant my boots almost flat on Spanish tarmac
