2003 Suzuki Motorcycle & ATV Lineup

For Suzuki motorcycles, it's another great year for 2002.

American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) proudly announces its motorcycle and ATV lineup for 2003. New for '03 Suzuki introduces 7 new street machines including the heavily updated GSX-R1000, the all-new SV1000 and half-faired SV1000S, the completely redesigned SV650 and SV650S and two new super scooters; the all-new Burgman 400 and Burgman 650.

On the off-road side, the addition of the DR-Z110 to Suzuki's JR50, JR80,DR-Z110, DR-Z125/DR-Z125L, DR-Z250 and DR-Z400/DR-Z400E models means that Suzuki can provide a vehicle to match any rider or riding ability.

Motocross fans will have no shortage of machines to choose from in 2003 including machines like the RM60, RM65, RM85 and new big wheel RM85L as well as the new RM100, and the proven high performance RM125 and RM250.

Suzuki also offers its most comprehensive ATV lineup ever. In 2002, the company introduced the new LT-A50; LT80; the new Eiger™ series LT-F400, LT-F400F, LT-A400 and LT-A400F; the award-winning Vinson LT-A500F; the award-winning LT-F250 Ozark; and the chart-topping 2003 LT-Z400 QuadSport Z400. These new units, coupled with the exciting, all-new early release 2004 QuadSport Z250, give the company a vastly improved breadth of QuadRunners for retail growth.

For 2003, Suzuki introduces the LT160 and the Vinson LT-F500F. "Because Suzuki has enjoyed success in its 'flagship' lines GSX-R, Hayabusa, Katana, Bandit, Intruder and Volusia, the resources have been available for development of quads and new motorcycles," explained Mel Harris, Executive Vice President of Suzuki Motorcycle & Marine. The result for Suzuki according to Harris will be one of - if not the - most competitive vehicle lineups in the industry.
