Suzuki South Africa is a brand well-known for their reliable cars, motorcycles, and boats.

“We were very busy at NAMPO and the weather was amazing,” says Jaco Viviers from Suzuki SA. And for those that missed them at NAMPO there is also good news. “We have a Suzuki weekend in Hazyview from 6 to 9 June 2024 for all Suzuki lovers to come and join with their bikes.”

Their superbikes drew a lot of attention at NAMPO, because in his heart every farmer (not to talk about the youngsters) really wants to take one of these shiny speedsters home.

The Suzuki GSX-S1000GX is not only a very luxurious and speedy bike, it is perfect if you want to take a long road trip and want to have a comfortable riding experience. It has wind protection, long front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance and new technologies that include Suzuki’s first electronic suspension.

The vertically stacked pair of compact hexagonal LED headlights creates a sharp look with unique character that makes the front end look light and ready for action.
