Suzuki confirms pricing realignment
Suzuki GB has confirmed a realignment of the on-the-road (OTR) prices for a number of models in its range. The prices of some models have been reduced by £1,000!
The off-road-focused V-Strom 800DE – with its 21” front wheel, switchable ABS, off-road traction control settings, quickshifter, and power modes – now comes with an OTR price of £9,999.
This represents a reduction of £1,000!
Its more on-road-focused stablemate, the V-Strom 800RE, has been reduced by £200, to £9,499.
Also reduced by £1,000 is the GSX-S1000, to £10,999. This model packs Suzuki’s torque-laden 1000cc inline four-cylinder engine into a twin-spar aluminium frame, mated to a swingarm from the previous generation GSX-R1000.
There are riding modes, a bi-directional quickshifter, traction control modes, and a colour TFT screen. The Katana has come down by £200, to £12,499.
From October 1, Suzuki’s GSX-S1000GT+ and GSX-S1000GX+ – which come with 36-litre panniers as standard – will see a reduction of £1,000 and £900 respectively.
This will take their OTR prices to £12,999 and £14,999.
These GT+ and GX+ models will also replace the standard models in Suzuki’s range in the UK.
Suzuki GB’s head of motorcycles, Jonathan Martin, commented;
“This pricing realignment is designed to make our commitment to affordability and value-packed products clearer and more accessible. By shifting our focus away from short-term promotional sales campaigns the costs to the consumer are clearer and more transparent, making it easier for buyers to experience Suzuki products.”
