By Jon Urry on 22/09/2010 11:00:00

By Visordown News on 02/06/2010 15:27:24

2009 Suzuki Gladius review
By Rob Hoyles on 31/03/2010 11:48:13
Taking up where the popular SV650 left off, the new for 2009 Gladius has a lot to live up to. Is it as sharp as the Roman sword it takes its name from?
thanks to the easy-going nature of the long-awaited replacement for Suzuki’s evergreen SV650.Sitting well forward, I’m getting a real feel for what’s going on. I have to remind myself that it’s raining and that I’m only wearing jeans. Despite those

Niall's Spin: Suzuki SV1000S
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/09/2010 13:58:39
The SV1000S may not be as dashing as the TL1000S but it fares pretty well in positive things
S. It isn't, which lead to some unfair panning by the press. The SV doesn't really have any bad areas, as long as you appreciate it for what it is.Think of the SV1000S as a great big SV650 and you'll start to understand the thinking behind this bike

Used Review: Suzuki Bandit 600
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 17:25:36
In 1995 Suzuki built the naked middleweight Bandit. Compared to Yamaha's Diversion it was a revelation: sure it was cheap, cheerful and built to a price, but it was also a hell of a lot of fun to ride.
Diversion. Sadly, the ravages of time and newer, smarter and better built opposition such as the Hornet, Fazer, Z750 and Suzuki's own SV650 have seen it revert from a smart little bike into something that's simply a cheaper, poorer alternative to better
