I've established the Suzuki Burgman 650 ABS Executive has a much longer tank range than it%X92s credited with. Some reports have estimated it at 150 miles, probably because the fuel warning starts flashing at about 130. In fact you%X92ve got a bar left on the gauge and at least 40 miles in the tank at that point. There%X92s a final warning,...

In this week%X92s paper I report how the heated grips on the Suzuki Burgman 650 could be warmer. Just about every journalist on the launch in Scotland seemed to agree on the point. Some said they seemed to work intermittently. Others questioned whether they worked at all. Suzuki scratched their heads and said they%X92d look into it. On the ride...

They may be about as relevant in the UK as a 50ft Winnebago or eight-litre SUV but, if you hadn%X92t cottoned on already, %X91baggers%X92 - or be-bagged or panniered cruisers designed for comfort and custom style and, usually, also with Plexiglass screens, a relaxed riding position and footboards instead of conventional footpegs, are big news in the U S of A.

I'm developing a theory, or at least something more substantial than a random thought, that birds have it in for my Suzuki GSX-R750. Pigeons definitely don't like it. Each morning they wait in numbers in the long grass until it's close, then, steady lads, explode from the verge in a syncronised show of disgust. Earlier this week a red kite,...

The new Suzuki GSX-R1000 is one of only two current superbikes (the other the Honda Fireblade) that doesn't have traction control. For most of us mere mortals, that means having to be a little more careful on the throttle than on an electronics-laiden Aprilia RSV4, or any of the other 1000cc superbikes. For 500GP winner Simon Crafar it means he can...
