Suzuki's new street fighter is back in town!
Touted as a totally new breed of motorcycle in the Suzuki street range, the introduction of this brawny naked bike offers an outstanding package of performance, technology and muscular styling. Based on the race-proven powerplant of the GSX-R600, the extremely compact, high-performance GSR600 engine is tuned for a broader powerband and more low and mid-range torque. The six-speed transmission features primary and internal ratios developed for street use with relatively low first and second gear ratios that are especially convenient for city riding.
Suzuki's middleweight street fighter delivers exceptional, all-day rider comfort with bold, edgy styling and first-class handling. For the security conscious, the GSR600 has an immobiliser fitted as standard. RRP $10,990 (inc GST) plus on-road costs. Featuring Suzuki's two-year unlimited kilometre warranty, the GSR600 is now available in Candy Blue.
The Viper-powered Dodge Tomahawk concept vehicle shatters all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. This four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle is a sleek, rolling sculpture that combines art-deco styling with extreme engineering. The 500 horsepower Viper V-10 engine powering the dual rear wheels gives this radical vehicle a potential top speed of nearly 400 miles per hour - for anyone who wants to test it. Initial reaction to the concept vehicle typically comes in two words: "Wow" and "why." The "wow" is easy to understand from Dodge, the brand that continues to drive its foot to the floor, but "why" would a company, famous for its innovative car and truck designs, go down this particular path?
"Tomahawk is an icon of the extreme thinking for a brand that is known not only for the legendary Viper and Ram, but also for all new, innovative vehicles such as the Magnum SRT-8 and Durango concepts," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President - Design, Chrysler Group.
That extreme thinking produced a machine in the true tradition of power-junkie passion, powered by a 505 cu. in., 8300 cc aluminium Viper V-10 engine.
"This is a bold faced slap against mediocrity," Creed said. "Tomahawk is a scintillating example of what creative minds can do when given the opportunity to run free. It is a pure mechanical sculpture and a joyous celebration of the artistry and emotion of design."
The Dodge Tomahawk is a Chrysler Group design concept that is as much a Viper-powered work of art as it is a whole new type of vehicle invention.
