Suzuki Thailand has big bikes available in Thailand. Currently they sell the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R.


Some of the posts in this thread where originally posted as comments for article The New 2009 Suzuki SFV650 Gladius, at Bangkok Motorshow.

I do hope they will introduce the Suzuki Gladius so as it reviews better than the Kawaski in the UK and I want something different to everyone else

The Suzuki SFV650 Gladius is currently not available from Suzuki Thailand. Suzuki, and other motorcycle manufacturers in Thailand, like to show the latest bike bikes but do not actually sell them in Thailand. Companies like Red Baron Bangkok do import some Suzuki big bikes into Thailand, but I do not think the price of a imported Suzuki Gladius can match the price of the in Thailand produced Kawasaki ER6N

I'm a bit confused here.
I thought Suzuki Thailand were soon to introduce their V-Strom 650 ABS to the Thai market.
I've seen March named as the intro date and one Thai website even suggests the price will be 295,000 baht.

You absolutely right, Suzuki Thailand is thinking to introduce the Suzuki V-Strom 650, but until the management of Suzuki Thailand anything can happen. During, or after, the 33rd Bangkok International Motorshow we are hopeful to be able to tell if it's actually going to happen.

Thanks for your reply.
Is there a contact for Suzuki so that I/we can express a desire for this bike to be made available, and at a price competitive with the Versys?

The problem is that Suzuki has currently no big bike production in Thailand, which is needed to keep the cost price low. If Suzuki would import a V-Strom 650, it would with current import tax and duties easily become to expensive to compete against the Kawasaki Versys.
