At the time it was the same model being used by the California Highway Patrol. It was a good bike and lasted me for 75K miles before I traded it in. I then ended up with a rental Suzuki 4WD SUV in Costa Rica in 1995. Considering the pounding I gave it over marginal road, I was fairly impressed with it. So when I need a car in 1997 after splitting from my ex and I found a good deal on another Suzuki SUV of the same model, I bought it. That car nickle and dimed me to death before we finally traded it in (for almost nothing—I think we could have gotten more for it as scrap.) And because it was about all we could afford, we bought another one, only a later and different model. So far we've already replaced a wheel bearing and now the fan belt, which seems to be chronic with these things. John

L.J.G. "Not brigth enough" More info | Mar 26, 2012 23:43 | #3289 I've had a few Suzuki bikes myself and had zero issues with them, well one had to have the gearbox rebuilt, but that's it. Their cars certainly seem alot better these days but over here, but they can't break away from that "toy car" syndrome that they have been branded with. Most people turn to the the more accepted brands of Toyota or Honda, or Ford, or Holden (Chev). But now we have other interlopers in the ring, namely Hyundai and kia. Hyundai has already surpassed Suzuki and Kia is hot on its tail. I don't think they will ever be the big seller they hoped to be. Lloyd

No kidding. I'm still reading some of the threads trying to extract at least a bit of info, but they have devolved into silly land. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

More info | Mar 27, 2012 09:05 | #3299 The sad part is the fools that spend hours taking pictures of nothing to prove this camera or that camera is "bad". Go out and take some real world pictures and enjoy life. I intentionally underexposed this image by 27 stops and then pushed it back 34 stops in PP. Notice the distinct lack of detail in the cloudless blue sky. Can't believe they are marketing this crap! People that know me call me Dan
