Suzuki To Expand Its U.S. Lineup?

There is a rumor that Suzuki will be bringing some of its smaller scooters to America soon. Right now, they only import the Burgman line in 400cc or above. But that line actually goes down to 125cc. It could also mean that America will see the SIXteen 125 and the Address 125.

This is exciting to me because Suzuki's technology is great. They are all fuel injected and the Burgmans are liquid-cooled all across the line. The Address 125 is cross-breed: a step-through 4-speed. This could challenge other scooter manufacturers to raise their game.

Honda is also expected to announce its new lineup this month. No word yet on whether that will include any new scooters. Now, if we could just get Kawasaki scooters...

That is great news. It would certainly give people like me more upgrade options and our local Suzuki dealer doesn't tack on a bunch of extra charges, other than sales tax and tag and title fees (which they can't do anything about).
