2013 Can-Am RST (2013)
This is a Mint condition, 2013 Spyder RTS. There are very few miles for a touring roadster at 2660 total. This Spyder has the excellent 5 speed semi-automatic shifting which allows up and down shifting without a clutch. It will down shift automatically with slower speeds and when coming to a stop so you are never in the wrong gear starting out. The V-twin Rotax engine develops a hundred horsepower with a displacement of 998cc which allows very quick pick-up to highway speeds. The oil change and filter are brand new and does not need another for 4000 miles. The engine was already retrofitted with the factory recommended recall of deflectors and air exchange coolers which keep the engine cool on even hot days and slow speeds. This Spyder comes complete with cruise control, traction control and stability compensation on sharp corners. It is very stable and handles any of our mountain roads with dexterity and power. The thumb operated turn signals switch off automatically after a turn or in about 20 seconds if the turn is too slight to activate the feature. The rider can switch them off manually with a push of the switch. The windshield raises or lowers depending on rider preference with the ease of a thumb switch on the left handlebar. The handlebars can be heated if desired to either low or high temperatures as necessary in the winter. Passenger grip bars in the back seat are also heated as necessary. The passenger can independently adjust the volume on the external speakers or adjust the heat on the grips. The passenger foot rests can be raised or lowered with a simple wrench adjustment. It also has adjustable hard or soft ride sensitivity with the flick of a switch to make it feel sportier on cornering. If a compartment lid is ajar, the LED screen on the dash will alert the rider. The stereo system is excellent with Bluetooth capability to the helmets or to the 4 external speakers. The riders can both listen to local radio channels (adjusted on the left handlebar) or switch to a compatible I-PAD which is locked in the trunk. The channels and music can be edited while riding. It has the National Weather Service available with a switch of the frequency. There are two blue tooth compatible Shoei helmets (one large and one small) available with the Spyder, at a separate charge, if desired. They have a hands-free intercom function for the rider and passenger. This same rechargeable Sena intercom can be used with a hands free smart phone and with the proper equipment installed on the helmets of other bikers so a group can talk while riding near each other on a trip. This makes riding with other Spyders an excellent day on the road! The Spyder has ingenious locks on all 5 compartments and a turn-key system which locks the entire system when it is left unattended. The average mileage on the open road around here in the mountains is about 34MPG with one rider. It has always been garaged and has no scratches or dents or any other problems. This is the ultimate in touring “bikes” and needs to seen to be appreciated.2016-08-11 04:49:40Conifer, Colorado, United States217000

2024 Suzuki GSX-8R Review – First Ride
Tue, 14 May 2024A middleweight sporty-bike without the backache Photos: Kevin Wing As I write this, in the year 2024, it’s dawned on me that there’s a whole generation of adults that have little to no memory of September 11, 2001. Some weren’t even alive yet, and those who were were too young to remember. One of, if not the, defining moment for my generation is just a page in a history book for today’s young adults, just as December 7, 1941 was for me.
2024 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+ Review – First Ride
Fri, 22 Dec 2023A tech-laden, long-legged addition to the K5 family Photography by: Ula Serra, Amylee Photography Suzuki has produced more than 180,000 of its K5 999 cc Inline Four cylinder engine in the last 18 years, and now we’re seeing that engine tasked with powering a tall sport touring bike that Suzuki calls the “supreme sport crossover," sitting between the sport-touring GSX-S1000GT that the GX is heavily based on, and adventure tourers like that of Suzuki’s V-Strom line. Leggy sport tourers, or crossovers, aren’t exactly a new thing, and since bikes like the Kawasaki Versys, Yamaha Tracer 9 GT, and BMW S 1000 XR exist, there is already some healthy competition for Hamamatsu to contend with. Suzuki tells us this is its most technologically advanced motorcycle yet, making the GSX-S1000GX a sort of flagship product for the brand.

2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE - Video Review
Fri, 24 Mar 2023Nobody reads anymore anyway The Dunlop tires worked well on pavement and hard packed trails, but in the looser terrain, a knobby tire would’ve been a better option. Videos by Suzuki, Edited by Ray Gauger You’ve read the review (maybe), now watch the video! Skirting through beautiful twisty bits of tarmac intertwined with rocky fire roads, the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE’s excellent new Parallel Twin engine is a peach. On road, the Twin powers out of corners with all of the punch expected of a 776cc 270-degree crank-driven Twin.
2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Review - First Ride
Thu, 02 Mar 2023Suzuki hits a sweet spot in the middleweight adventure scene Flying over the second largest island in the Mediterranean gives a view of rocky coastlines, lush greenery, small villages, and surprisingly stout topography with mountains stretching more than 6,000 ft. into the sky.

2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE/V-Strom 800DE Adventure First Look
Tue, 08 Nov 2022No longer with a V-Twin, but the Strom heritage is still strong The Suzuki V-Strom line is a storied one that most riders are quite familiar with, but today in Milan, Suzuki opened the next chapter: the 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE. While the entire bike is worthy of attention, the showstopper for the new Storms is the 766cc parallel-Twin engine. The V-Twin that gives the Strom part of its name has been assigned to the history books.
2023 Suzuki GSX-8S First Look
Tue, 08 Nov 2022Suzuki's all-new platform is a sign of things to come. At long last, the spiritual successor to Suzuki’s wildly popular SV650 (but not the actual successor, the SV is still staying in the Suzuki lineup) is finally here. Say hello to the GSX-8S, a motorcycle Suzuki says was “engineered from the ground up as an innovative path for future Suzuki sportbikes…” While we all process what that means for Suzuki’s future, let’s delve into the present day and take a closer look at Suzuki’s new middleweight naked bike.
Showdown: Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX Vs Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+
Fri, 04 Nov 2022A clash between two sport-touring heavyweights Credit: Photos by Evans Brasfield It seems like all the splash lately has been about the ADV category and all the wonderful things they can do and destinations they can reach. We’re not going to deny adventure bikes their time in the sun, either. They’re definitely fun and capable bikes worthy of all the bandwagoning.
Church of MO: 2012 Suzuki DR-Z400S Review
Sun, 09 Oct 2022And speaking of Japanese motorcycles with looooong shelf lives, how about the DR-Z400S? Suzuki sold the first one in 2000 as a serious enduro machine you could ride around on the street, too. And they’ll sell you one today, complete with 36mm Mikuni carburetor, for just $7,099 – which is $1750 more than 22 years ago.
2023 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 and V-Strom 1050DE First Look
Tue, 06 Sep 2022V-Strom 1050XT gets replaced by a more capable off-road variant Suzuki announced updates for the V-Strom 1050, as well as a new off-road oriented version for 2023. The new 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE replaces the 1050XT model, and adds new features to make it a more capable off-road machine such as a 21-inch front wheel, longer-stroke suspension, and a larger aluminum bash plate. Both models remain powered by a 1037cc V-Twin engine, but for 2023, Suzuki introduced new hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves, claiming reduced temperature in the combustion chamber, and thus improved efficiency and durability.
