Suzuki Scooter updates

Sorry no new models, well according to Suzuki UK the 650 is New ! See below.

Looking at the Suzuki website, the 400Z ABS is now £6399 plus OTR costs. I am sure last month it was £5999+, so a £400 increase?

Look at the 650 also, it says New? The only thing I can notice is the colour changes, no longer white, with pearl moonstone (same as the 400Z) and the normal Metallic Oort Grey now on limited availability (must be running out of that stock and it looks like an American picture as it has side reflectors).

Did the 650 have ABS before?

[bornagainbiker]

Yes.

[gn2]

Won't be that then.

[bornagainbiker]

It's just the main colour change to pearl moonstone.

pathetic... i'm afraid that one day i'll say enough is enough and go get some other bike than a scooter with the stupendous prices and 10 year old designs still lingering. Thank god there are still exceptions like x10 out there...

£6399????? Mad, just mad.... So, the normal 400 must be a tad under 6k?

No, £5515+ otr (No change). So now nearly £900 more for the ABS, with back rest, heated grips and hand guards, where prior it was just under £500 extra.

I agree scooter prices are going through the roof. At these prices and servicing they are not a 'cheap' form of transport, but good for beating traffic jams etc. £6995 for a brand new Hyundai i10, with 5 years warranty amd 5 years breakdown cover, 5 doors and £20 road tax. We bought the Blue eco version for £7495 when it was on offer last year with zero road tax.

Look at the new Honda NC700S, it's only £5300 OTR with ABS. Yes it's not a scooter but a serious contender when considering costs etc.

A snag with the NC700S might be the cost of tyres...?

Is that the new/replacement deauville?
