1 of 2

Suzuki have launched a new modern classics parts scheme which follows a success of a similar scheme for vintage parts and older bikes.

Older bikes like the RGV250 race replica two-stroke are already part of the vintage bike scheme and has been popular since it was launched. There are nearly 1000 original Suzuki parts still available for the RGV with 1200 available for the GT750 and 1400 for the GSX-R750F and H.

Suzuki stated: “To further demonstrate the number of parts still available for older machines, Suzuki GB is currently restoring a project GSX-R1100L, with 1,500 parts still available for the revered sportsbike, and recently assembled a brand new TL1000S out of genuine parts at Motorcycle Live last year, leading to the launch of the new Modern Classics scheme.

Launching with the GSX-R1100L, the TL1000 is set to be added to the programme next month, followed by other popular models from the 1990s, including bikes such as the Bandit 600 and Bandit 1200, all live on the website by May this year.”

Tim Davies, Suzuki GB’s Aftersales Marketing Co-ordinator, said, “Our Vintage Parts programme has been hugely popular since its launch, and we’re delighted to now add the new Modern Classics section, focusing solely on bikes from the 1990s. There are a number of bikes from the ’90s that still hold big appeal for customers, and there are a lot of owners out there restoring or maintaining bikes from that period. The Modern Classics area of the Vintage Parts programme makes that experience even easier.”

As with the Vintage Parts programme, the Modern Classics section features full parts lists and service manuals available for download, as well as brochures and other original sales material.
