An immensely capable motorcycle marred by looks that only it’s mother would love, the Suzuki Inazuma was a complete sales dud. In fact, Suzuki is rumored to be pulling the plug on the quarter liter tourer soon. In case you’re wondering why the Inazuma never rang at the box office, here’s our detailed analysis of the same- Suzuki Inazuma: How a great product was wasted.
Meanwhile, keen Motoroids fan Adarsh Saravanan shares the same sentiments, and digitally re-imagined the Inazuma with some thoughtfully added bits from the Suzuki stable.
Changes incorporated include:
1. The rear section of the Inazuma starting from the tank has been completely replaced with that of the Suzuki GSR 750 street fighter.
2. The original Inazuma headlight was retained as a base but tweaked a bit with parts of GSR 750’s headlight.
3. The exhaust and forks colour has been changed to make them stand out and give a big street fighter bike feel.
4. A black and white dual colour tone has been used- the tank extensions and the rear section are now highlighted in white.
5. The front mud guard has been replaced with GSR750’s mudguard.
6. The GSR750 has only one silencer, but Adarsh reckons that the Inazuma looks great with dual silencers,so the GSR’s silencer has been duplicated on the other side of the bike too.
The rest of the bike is untouched and Adarsh sees the end product is a really sporty street fighter, for which he reckons people will cough up the 2-3 lakh price easily. What do you guys think?
A wonderful refined ride. Glad i got one when it was available. Never liked the looks, so physically re-imagined it a bit 🙂 here : https://cl.ly/image/083F1O2S2x1Z If anybody wants to know the list of mods, would be glad to share.
Its a good effort in diffusing the ungainly looks of the motorcycle. For some reason Inzuma always reminds me of Inzamam ( Big ,looks un athletic, but a smooth operator).
Suzuki in big brand and they knows how to build a super sport,naked street fighter,cruiser,offroader or a commuter. Inazumas current design and parallel twin long stroke engine with midrange torque is meant for a purpose and for a people who comes in that category. so according to me, front fender and headlight is the only downside in design part.rest all does its job well for wht it made for.anyway i appreciate the job done and its done neatly..good job.
there is a lot more than styling with this engineering marvell. Its not style,top speed and 0-100 in motorcycling.It is built for a purpose and it does that job just perfect. take a ride, it will give u a lot which the other 3 cannot provide you.Then u comment from ur heart….
Even with all this, it is still a product which doesnt look as good as a ktm rc 390 or a ninja 300 or a honda cbr 250r, neither is the bike a value prop for the indian market.
