Suzuki-GSX-S1000Z and F

Suzuki recently unveiled the all-new 2018 RM-Z450, and mentioned that they would announce additional 2018 motorcycles and ATVs soon. Wait no more! The company has continued its strong new model push with these 2018 motorcycles and ATVs, offering performance, value and style for U.S. riders that include the following:

The 2018 GSX-S1000 ABS and GSX-S1000F models return with more horsepower and torque, and a new family member in the potent, blacked-out GSX-S1000Z. All-new for 2018 is Suzuki GSX-S1000Z. Take a GSX-S1000 ABS and punch up the horsepower from its GSX-R based engine, add in a new back-torque limiting clutch that smooths shifting and improve the braking performance to upgrade an excellent sport-standard motorcycle. MSRP $10,999, available in Matte Black, in dealers in July.

Like the GSX-S1000Z, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 ABS delivers more thrust for 2018 thanks to new crankcase ventilation holes so the engine delivers more horsepower and torque. Refined fuel injection mapping and the rider-adjustable Suzuki Advanced Traction Control System2 pushes power through a New Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) clutch and a smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission. Riders will be drawn to the aggressively styled, naked bodywork and low 32-inch seat height that contributes to the sporty, yet relaxed riding position. MSRP $10,799, available in Blue/Black, in dealers in July.

Ready to appeal to your customers who want a fully faired sportbike, the GSX-S1000F brings Suzuki performance to the street with a sharp-handling chassis that also supplies a comfortable riding position. Like the GSX-S1000Z, the 2018 GSX-S1000F is powered by an updated 999cc inline four-cylinder with increased power and torque. Riders will be dazzled by the deep coat of pearlescent white or blue/black paint laid on the GSX-S1000F’s full fairing and bodywork. A new, smoked windshield complements the brilliant bodywork. MSRP $11,299, available in White or Blue/Black, in dealers in July.

The 2018 Suzuki TU250X4 delivers tradition and value in a stylish bike.

The TU250X offers riding fun with an eye on economical ownership. MSRP $4,599, available in Black, in dealers in August.

The 2018 Suzuki VanVan remains a retro, funky machine that draws in admirers. The VanVan’s a dual-purpose bike, it’s a commuter bike, it’s a bike builder’s starting point, and it can reside on the tail of an RV ready to prowl a campground. MSRP $4,599, available in Red or Black, in dealer in August.

Joining the exciting new 2018 Suzuki RM-Z450 in the RM ARMY ranks are the 2018 RM-Z250 and RM85. Both of these popular racing motorcycles feature new competition inspired body panel colors, graphics and seat treatments to align perfectly with the all-new RM-Z450.
