Suzuki GB has confirmed a realignment of the on-the-road (OTR) prices for a number of models in its range, with the prices of some models 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, representing 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, which packs Suzuki’s torque-laded 1000cc inline four-cylinder engine into a twin-spar aluminium frame, mated to a swingarm from the previous generation GSX-R1000. There are riding models, a bi-directional quickhifter, 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, taking their OTR prices to £12,999 and £14,999. The GT+ and GX+ will also replace the standard models 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.”
