When you consider the quality and history of Suzuki Motors, I often wonder why their scooters receive much less publicity than some of the more popular scooters like Lambrettas and Hondas. Vespas, of course, have their classic chic appeal, but for anyone wanting to find a modern scooter, it's tough to beat Suzuki scooters. Here are a few reasons:

1) Suzuki scooters are economical to both own and run

My initial experience with Suzuki was a motorcycle back in the Eighties. It ran flawlessly, was stunning to look at, and was one of the least expensive models available, taking into account the quality of the bike. Suzuki's motor scooters are the same: you get a lot of value for your dollar.

2) They are fuel efficient

Depending on the size of the engine you choose, you can expect anywhere from 45 to 100 miles per gallon of gas. While the larger models (the ones that rival motorcycles) hit the lower end of the scale, smaller, more traditional Suzuki scooters are incredibly good on gas.

3) They are expertly engineered

Suzuki scooters are built to the highest standards of reliability, and are respected for their flawless operation, straightforward clutch system, and liquid cooled engines. Don't underestimate the convenience of a smooth clutch system, especially for less experienced owners who might be more prone to distraction!

4) They are safe

Along with their excellent engineering, Suzuki scooters are built to protect you in ways you might not expect. For example, most Suzuki scooters have an advanced suspension system. Think that's there for comfort? If so, you'd be partially correct. It's there for both comfort and safety. By keeping the scooter wobble to the minimum, the overall safety of the scooter is increased.

5) There is a huge selection

Whether you're considering a small knock about model, or a large motorcycle replacement, Suzuki has a model that suits you perfectly. For in-town riding a 125, 150, or 250 will probably be all that you need. But you can upgrade to a 450cc engine for around $6,000, and step even further up to a 650cc for around $9,000.

Like their full-size counterparts, Suzuki scooters are known for their characteristics of engineering and reliability. If you're looking for a premium scooter at a reasonable price, be sure to check out a Suzuki. When you begin looking at prices, you'll discover that there is also a good second hand scooter market, so do your research before making a decision!
