18. First Look Suzuki GSR 400



Looking more like a concept bike in a bike show than an actual production model, Suzuki gives Honda a run for their money in the class 2A category. I've been waiting to see one of these in the road and actually saw 2. One on the expressway and one taking a break in the carpark. How can I let this one go? This street fighter is styled like no others in its class. The first 400cc to come with a twin undertray exhaust, the first 400cc to have a digital speedo, the first 400cc that is actually worth our money. When I first lay eyes on it, it's huge tank can only suggest one thing, a huge airbox underneath. And with a huge airbox comes great power. Yeah Honda's Vtec is great, but the super 4 lacks the look, and the lungs. This baby looks so sporty, all Suzuki got to do is to add some fairing, a pair of inverted forks and retune the 400 engine with sports gears and camshaft and BOOM we got a new GSX400rrR. The only problem I have with the GSR 400 is it's gentle purr, it's bark is too soft and gentle, I can hardly hear the bike moving off. But there's nothing an aftermarket exhaust won't do. Enjoy, the new GSR 400!
