Suzuki Boulevard M90

If the swooping form of the M109 family of muscle cruisers flexes your fancy but you value the handling traits of a narrower rear tire, the M90 is your ticket. Its 200-series rear radial ensures that no concessions have been made for fashion's sake, and the liquidcooled, long-stroke V-Twin delivers more than enough low-end torque to hold its rightful place on the boulevard. The M90 also features Suzuki's advanced digital fuel-injection and enginemanagement systems that are designed to improve throttle response while also getting the most out of every drop of fuel.

The 'Busa has fully adjustable suspension, including an inverted fork with DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) on its inner tubes for supple action. The ultra-stable chassis commands a sporting posture, but the ergonomics are roomy enough and the ride smooth enough for the Hayabusa to serve as a sporting grand-touring mount.

Aggressive muscle-cruiser styling doesn't also have to mean massive engine displacement. For proof, look no further than the 50-cubic-inch Boulevard M50, a lighter and more affordable middleweight alternative to the M109R. Just as with its big brother, there's a dose of sportbike influence at play on the M50, evident in its cast aluminum wheels, inverted cartridge fork, large-diameter front brake rotor and GSX-R-derived fuel-injection system. Shaft drive reduces maintenance requirements while helping to keep the rear wheel devoid of sticky chain lube.

The C50's liquid-cooled V-Twin engine is fed dead dinosaurs via a sophisticated, dual-throttle-valve electronic fuel-injection system, and its meaty torque is channeled to the wire-spoke rear wheel through low-maintenance shaft drive. A kicked-out (33 degrees of rake) front end looks cool and provides good stability. Also available: The Boulevard C50 Special Edition, which the very same cruiser but with an attractive two-tone paint job and cast alloy wheels.

Suzuki GSX-R750

Liter-class sportbikes are best known for their engine performance, while their middleweight counterparts are more about compact size and agile handling. The GSX R750 offers the best of both worlds with almost-telepathic handling and almost-liter-class acceleration. That's why some consider it the most all-around-competent sportbike in the business. S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector) lets the rider choose from three power settings via a handlebar switch. An electronically controlled steering damper, lighter-than-ever wheels and up-to-date styling help to keep the 750 Gixxer at the head of the pack.

Suzuki Boulevard S40

Beginners and budget-minded buyers alike will find a lot to like about this classic-looking Single.

Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure/V-Strom 650 ABS

Adventure bikes usually are tall, gangly and heavy but not this one. The middleweight V-Strom offers exceptional versatility that's well suited to a daily commute, a trip to the wilds of Alaska and anything in between. Its torquey V-Twin engine, agile chassis and roomy ergonomics lend the 'Strom the sort of comfort you normally would get only with a liter-class machine. Plus, the Adventure comes standard with big, top-loading aluminum side cases, rugged engine guards and an adjustable windscreen. Also available: The V-Strom 650 ABS, the same machine without the bags, crash guards and adjustable windscreen.

Suzuki SFV650

If the silhouette of this new Metallic Thunder Gray/Glass Sparkle Black naked looks more than a little familiar, it should: The SFV650 is the very same machine previously known as the Gladius. It's now back in black after a four-year absence and lending this V-Twin a more menacing streetfighter image than the blue-and white original. What hasn't changed is the novice-friendly nature of this sporty naked, even though seasoned experts find it a hoot to ride, as well. Its low saddle height, nimble handling and smooth power delivery all add up to a fun, easy-to ride machine with a price to help keep you out of the red.

The 600 shares its race-quality fully adjustable 41mm Showa Big Piston Fork with the 750 and also uses the same Brembo Monobloc front brake calipers and eye-catching bodywork, all providing a boost in performance with fresh new looks. The inline four-cylinder motor is narrow and lightweight, with a stacked transmission layout that shortens the engine front-to-rear, allowing a longer swingarm that benefits rear-wheel traction and overall handling.

Entry-level buyers have more choices than ever, including the GW250, an affordable, lightweight Twin that looks and feels bigger than many other bikes in its class. The roomy, upright ergonomics are a positive for anyone wanting an easy-to-handle bike they will not quickly outgrow as their riding skills develop. The GW draws much of its modern styling from the Hayabusa-based Suzuki B-King that once graced the model line.

Adventure bikes have enjoyed a growth spurt in the past few years. But although larger-displacement Twins have garnered most of the attention, you shouldn't overlook the attributes of a lightweight, single-cylinder and low-priced bike like the DR650SE. The dual-sport DR can take on trails and fireroads yet provide surefooted stability at street speeds. Its spacious riding position, comfortable saddle and fuel-efficient counterbalanced engine effectively extend its range of use. And if you find this dual-sport to be a bit tall, the DR can be lowered 1.6 inches with dealer-supplied suspension modifications.

Suzuki DR-Z400S/DR-Z400SM

Here essentially is an enduro bike fitted with enough equipment to make it street-legal in all 50 states. Its high-quality suspension and lightweight, sharp-handling chassis are up to the task of tackling everything from tight, technical trails, fiat-out fireroads, bump-strewn backroads and pot-hole-pitted city streets, and it can even cruise the superslab with reasonable aplomb.

Good advice for an any rider just starting out is to gain a bit of dirt-riding experience prior to hitting the street.

The 200's light weight, nimble handling and low seat height help a newcomer establish confidence in his or her riding.

Topping the list is an all-new Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF) that separates spring and damping functions. The spring is in the right leg and the cartridge damper in the left, resulting in reduced weight and smoother performance. The fuelinjected four-stroke delivers competitive power and provides a quick and easy means of switching between a trio of fuel-map options.
