Suzuki GSR:

First Look: 2010 Suzuki GSR250

The request for entry-level naked motorcycles in Brazil and Europe will be satisfied starting 2010 also with the all-new Suzuki GSR250.

Expected to be presented later this year, the small, versatile and quite possibly fun bike draws inspiration from the B-King and GSR600, while power (30bhp, to be precise) comes from a quarter-liter, liquid-cooled, DOHC fuel-injected engine. The parallel-twin unit stands for user-friendliness, the spacious seat stands for comfort and the under-seat storage is meant to make the GSR250 a bit practical. Also, there’s a digital LCD screen to keep things modern and fancy.

There’s no word on price yet, but if the thing’s cheap, it will surely find its home in South America and Europe.

2010 Suzuki GSR750 rendering

The friends at Motorevue speculate regarding a new naked model that Suzuki might launch at the beginning of 2010.

Inspired by the B-King and powered by a retuned GSX-R750 engine, the GSR750 (so it will be called) is supposed to rise as a fierce competitor both for Japanese and European naked motorcycles such as the Kawasaki Z750, Triumph Street Triple and Aprilia Shiver.

Those very same models indicate that there is a great demand for high performance nakeds, making this rendering very plausible.

The big question here is: would you buy such a Suzuki model?
