Suzuki May Be Working On A New Roadster

Two new design patents reveal that Suzuki may be working on a latest roadster, and this one could well be a small displacement bike. The bike in question is expected to have a single-cylinder engine displacing around 300 cc, and from the looks of the patent images, it does promise to have a sporty silhouette and possibly handling, once a closer to production prototype is revealed. So far, though, no other details about this upcoming Suzuki motorcycle are available, and whatever we know are gleaned from the patent images only.

The images reveal a small displacement engine, possibly in the region of 300 cc

The motorcycle in question is definitely going to be a roadster, with upside down forks, a single front disc and a compact exhaust that exits ahead of the rear wheel. The engine is mounted on a trellis frame and the swingarm looks like a high-quality unit, derived or at least inspired by Suzuki's race-bred machines. It may not be a sportbike though, and something which could take on the likes of the Honda CB300R and with somewhat similar if not identical design language. So, expect a funky, yet modern take on a classic cafe racer design. Of course, all this is conjecture at this point, and more details will only be known until we see the first concept images. Either ways, Suzuki seems to working on a range of new motorcycles, and the next couple of years could see several of these products making an appearance, at least in concept form.

Just a few days ago, another set of patent images revealed what could possibly be a completely new, and unconventional way of mounting the engine on a motorcycle. Those patent images showed an upside down engine mounted on the frame. So far, there's no concrete news of Suzuki's future product line-up, but we can expect at least some interesting concepts by the end of the year, at one of the motor shows, possibly at Tokyo or at the EICMA show in Milan.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
