Let’s beat the Jozi winter and go ride sportbikes in the lowveld! Summer weather and twisties on a new bike? How could anyone refuse? Well, that was the plan anyway as far as the weather was concerned. It wasn’t Jozi winter, but nobody made their way into the swimming pool or even took their jerseys off, especially in the evening, but we still had a great time anyway. Suzuki spoiled the media with a fantastic weekend in the mountains to ride their newest selection where most buyers would probably end up taking it anyway. So on a frosty Thursday morning we all gathered for a cup of coffee at their head office to meet our new friends for the weekend, the GSX-8R in four different colours.
