Suzuki Demo Ride Tour 2023: the novelties of the Japanese brand protagonists in the test rides

Organized on Demo Ride Tour 2023, which allows Italian enthusiasts to test different models Suzuki. Among the examples mentioned are the new ones GSX-8S, V-strom 800DE, V-Power 1050 e V-strom 1050DE, without forgetting the note GSX-S1000GT. Let's start from next April 15th over 15 weekends, until late July.

The bikes that you can try

The structures moving throughout Italy will have several examples available Suzuki. In particular, the most recent innovations such as the street fighter are highlighted GSX-8S, which took shape around the same platform as the versatile V-strom 800DE. Both are powered by a thruster 776cc parallel twin with patented Suzuki Cross Balancer system to reduce vibrations and 270° crank mechanism. The power differs slightly between the two specimens, on the first it reaches 83 horses, while on the new medium-sized Sport Enduro Tourer it is the same 84,3 horses. In both cases the couple is equal to 78 Nm.

Another interesting and already known motorbike is the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT, designed for enthusiasts who love to travel a lot. A two-wheeled Gran Turismo which, together with functional aerodynamic protection, displays a lively and sporty character. The model's setup favors an upright position for the benefit of control, being able to make the best use of the qualities of the chassis and engine.

Also highlighted is the renewed overview of V-Power 1050. The new V-Strom 1050, more road-going, is characterized by electronic, mechanical and chassis updates; including new color TFT LCD digital instrumentation and the “Cambiarapido” (Bi-directional Quick Shift System). The example is equipped with 19 and 17 inch alloy wheels.
Then there is the new and slender one V-strom 1050DE, distinguishable by the cycling quotas and specific settings, as well as the functional electronic solutions for off-road activity. The motorcycle is equipped with 21- and 17-inch spoked wheels and semi-knobby tires.
