2014 Burgman SS

2014 Suzuki Skywave SS 200

Looks like the americans are going to get it because they've already type certified it, but will it come here?

Nice! But what about the 400. Guess it may look a bit like that 200 to maintain the family resemblance.

You know, I think that picture is wrong.
It looks more like an AN250/AN400 than a UH200 and doesn't match the text that was with it. I'll check if I was sent duff info.

It could be a restyled 200 Burger/Skywave - its about the right size, and it would make sense for Suzuki to try and use the styling features of its bigger brothers.

There again, it looks very much like a Japanese home market special so I doubt if it would come here in that form. Didn't I read that the current baby Burgers were designed in Europe (def. made in Spain), and aren't actually available in Japan? Since the Spanish factory is closing, this might be part of Suzuki's plans to close the gap by having a new world wide version of the Baby Burger, replacing the current Euro version. Goodness knows where it will be made though.

Jesus sorry but that is ugly

Suzuki have pulled out of producing in Spain so that might account for it Mr G.
Makes sense for eastern built equivalents to take up the slack

Hmmm taking a second look, it does look rather too big to be a new baby Burger, and the final drive does look quite 650 ish.

I understand that style has been all the rage in Japan for a while.....we may think its hideous, but lots of Japanese don't agree with us!

It's only got one disc up front so it's a restyled 200 I would guess. Overall, if you look at the bars, which are not shrouded, the scale of things looks as if the bike is quite small. The engine transmission cover is covering a conventional cvt by the look of it. Probably a Japan only model but a european version may reveal itself soon. I like it...

[Bluebottle]

I queried it and the US version is definately 200cc and similar to the previous S types
The photo is linked from a web site but its identical so maybe I was wrong to question the image.

Couldn't get any news on the 400 . That's what I'm waiting for too

Why'd they change the name for the western market?! 'Skywave' sounds so much better to me. When people ask me what I ride and I say a Suzuki "Burgman" I can see the boredom in their eyes even before they know what it is! I wonder if you can get Skywave lettering for the rear panels (that isn't cheap ebay crap that'll fall off after two weeks!)
