Suzuki Thunder 125 sets trend for backbone city-sports bike

MANILA, Philippines - Introduced in mid 2009 in the Philippines, the Suzuki Thunder 125 has shaken up the local motorcycle scene by carving out a new niche as a backbone city-sports bike. This trendsetter combines the sportiness of a street bike with the durability and comfort of a backbone motorcycle.

In motorcycle markets all over Asia, backbone recreation models and sporty street bikes are the hottest and latest trends, and Suzuki has positioned the Suzuki Thunder to be a strategic, class-leading model for the regional market. Top-of-the-line features, sporty styling in a backbone chassis, and a high-torque 125cc engine all combine to make the Suzuki Thunder into the epitome of a backbone city-sports bike.

“A small bike with a big bike feel” is how enthusiasts describe the Suzuki Thunder, whose target market is experienced male riders in their mid-30s who wish to level-up their daily ride. With its relatively larger size, this street bike is best-suited to mature riders who are capable of handling the Suzuki Thunder.

Powered by a 125cc engine, the Suzuki Thunder has a well-balanced combination of torque and power, while environment-friendly and fuel-efficient performance are delivered by its patented PAIR (pulsed secondary air injection) system. The backbone set-up ensures not only comfortable riding position but also optimum handling stability and maneuverability.

Giving the Suzuki Thunder that extra edge are superlative features such as integrated lower engine cowling, dynamic speedometer with gear indicator, lightweight alloy wheels, sporty muffler, electric/kick starter, and dependable front disc brake. The Suzuki Thunder is the perfect machine for city streets, where riding is an everyday adventure for motorcycle users in the urban setting.

Through its SAFE campaign, Suzuki is promoting a motorcycle lifestyle which is Safe, Active, Fashionable, and Easy-to-use. Committed to brining mobility to Filipino consumers, Suzuki Philippines hopes to contribute to the country’s progress and industrialization by introducing dynamic products and programs that harness the power of Suzuki’s exciting Way of Life.
