Front bodywork contains three lidded storage compartments; a large 10-litre compartment with a convenient DC power outlet for charging electric devices in the move and two smaller compartments above it.
Stepped dual seat for comfort and confidence. The rider’s backrest is adjustable in five 10mm increments at the press of a lever.
Cut-away footboards allow stop-start legwork without uncomfortable stretching.
Ignition switch has a tamper-resisting magnetic cover and incorporates Suzuki Advanced Immobilizer System (SAIS), a transponder-type transistorized digital computer-controlled immobilizer.
Security gate allows a chain lock to be passed through the bodywork around the frame and then around an immovable object.
The comprehensive and easy-to-read instrument binnacle incorporates a speedometer, a tachometer, an odometer, twin tripmeters, a clock, and indicators for the ambient temperature, average fuel consumption, fuel level, and coolant temperature.
Ignition switch fitted with a magnetic cover that opens only with correctly coded key for security.
Antilock Brake System (ABS*) monitors wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction.
*ABS is a supplemental device for brake operation, not a device for shortening stopping distance. Always remember to reduce speed sufficiently before approaching curves and corners.
