Suzuki Malaysia is set to introduce the GSX-R150, Belang 150 and GSX-S150 in Q1 2022.
The announcement was made during a live introduction of the upcoming 2022 Hayabusa, V-Strom 1050XT and the all-new GSX-S1000, which is set to be available late this year.
While we are excited about Suzuki Malaysia big bike range, the new development on its 150cc motorcycle is what we have been waiting for since they shared a teaser photo of the bike at the end of 2020.
All three models will be the start of Suzuki Malaysia 2022 portfolio as they begin to reinvent the Japanese brand in the country.
Meanwhile, according to the video presentation, Suzuki Malaysia will officially launch the all-new 2022 Hayabusa, V-Strom 1050XT and the GSX-S1000 in December.
According to Dato Jeffrey Lim, General Manager and Director Suzuki Malaysia, the original plan was to unveil all six models earlier before it was halted due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and travel restriction.
Baru-baru ini, Suzuki Malaysia telah pun melancarkan enam model 2021 untuk pasaran tempatan sekaligus menandakan kebangkitan semula jenama Jepun itu dalam pasaran dua roda negara.

Enam model tersebut membabitkan SV650, V-Strom 650 XT, GSX-S750, Katana, GSX-R1000R dan GSX-R1000.
Bagaimanapun, dalam perkembangan terbaru, kami dimaklumkan bahawa Suzuki Malaysia bakal melancarkan V-Strom 1050 XT 2021, Oktober ini.
Berdasarkan info diperolehi, motosikal segmen adventure berkuasa tinggi itu akan ditawarkan sekitar RM8X,XXX.
Ini menjadikan V-Strom 1050 XT motosikal adventure bersesaran 1,000cc ke atas dengan harga paling rendah dalam pasaran berbanding jenama lain.
V-Strom 1050 XT dikuasakan dengan enjin silinder berkembar (Euro 5) yang menawarkan 106hp pada 8,500rpm dan 99Nm pada 6,000rpm.
Menariknya, V-Strom baharu ini tampil dengan rekaan serta warna yang diinspirasikan daripada Suzuki DR BIG dan DR-Z Rali yang popular pada era 80an.
Antara ciri lain ditawarkan adalah Cornering ABS, Hill-hold Control, Cruise Control dan tempat duduk boleh laras.

Sementara itu, Suzuki Malaysia telah pun melancarkan V-Strom 650 XT untuk pasaran tempatan yang ditawarkan pada harga RM37,989.00.
After more than a year since Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia Sdn Bhd cease all operations in Malaysia, the Japanese brand officially returns with Suzuki Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SMSB).
Led by Group Executive Chairman Ahmad Faez Tan Sri Yahaya and Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Jeffrey Lim, the General Manager and Director of Suzuki Malaysia Sdn Bhd; SMSB is now the new sole and exclusive importer for Suzuki motorcycles, ATV, spare parts and accessories.

According to Dato’Jeffrey, SMSB is fully committed to offering Malaysian the best experience.
“This is an exciting new beginning for Suzuki. We are not just back, but we are here with an even bigger commitment, one that will not only offer customers the very latest and most advanced motorcycles Suzuki has to offer but to elevate their riding and ownership experience to an even higher level,” he said.

Meanwhile, he also explained the reason behind the delay of the announcement.
“We understand that many Suzuki fans were eagerly waiting for the launch of these new models. Suzuki Malaysia had plans to release the products earlier into the market, but due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to do so,” he added.

For starters, SMSB announced six new models for 2021, along with more than 70 dealers and an after-sales network.
“Suzuki Malaysia will have three categories of dealers to serve the market, but for the time being, we are commencing the business by selling the fully CBU models. We will be announcing a more exciting range of products soon,” said Dato Jeffrey.

Meanwhile, the six CBU models are as follows (include price):
Suzuki GSX-R1000 – RM99,289.00
Suzuki GSX-R1000R – RM110,289.00
Suzuki Katana GSX-S 1000S – RM77,989.00
Suzuki GSX-S 750 – RM40,989.00
Suzuki V-Strom 650XT – RM37,989.00
Suzuki SV 650 – RM37,289.00
*2021 Suzuki Katana
According to SMSB, all six models come with a 2-year or 20,000km warranty and are available for viewing at Suzuki Big Bike World and Suzuki Station Plus.
Suzuki Malaysia has announced that 2021 GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000 are now available in Malaysia and open for viewing at every local dealership.
While Suzuki Malaysia is yet to unveil the official selling price, other dealers have made an extra effort to release what could be the official price for the two motorcycles.
According to Wilhin Motor (M) Sdn Bhd, the GSX-R1000 and the GSX-R1000R is available for RM99,289 and RM110,289, respectively.
If the price is accurate, this puts the two GSX-R1000 as the cheapest brand new litre bike available in the market right now.
The 2021 GSX-R1000R makes 199hp @ 13,200rpm and 118Nm @ 10,800rpm from its 999.8cc inline-four, liquid-cooled engine mated to a 6-speed transmission.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen when will Suzuki Malaysia intends to introduce the sub-150cc motorcycle (GSX-R150 and Belang 150), however considering that teaser photos are still available on their Facebook page, we can assume that the two models will make their way anytime soon.
Suzuki Malaysia and its official Facebook page have been doing a lot of teasing lately to mark their official ‘return’ into the Malaysian market under its new arm. The latest teaser involves the Suzuki Gixxer model, a name officially given to a few 150cc and 250cc models in several markets, particularly India. (more…)
Walaupun sekadar memaparkan bahagian lampu depan namun jelas merujuk kepada Suzuki Belang 150!
Umum mengetahui Suzuki Belang merupakan antara jentera popular di rantau Asia Tenggara yang turut dikenali sebagai Raider R150 di Vietnam dan Satria F150 di Indonesia.
Suzuki Belang Fi ini menawarkan enjin 147.3cc dengan silinder tunggal yang menawarkan 18.2hp pada 10,000rpm dan 13.8Nm pada 8,500rpm.
Info terbaru dari dari SMSB ini memberi bayangan bahawa Suzuki Malaysia serius untuk kembali lebih kuat dengan memfokuskan kepada model moped selain daripada jentera berkuasa tinggi.
Baru-baru ini SMSB turut berkongsi bahawa mereka bakal melancarkan model GSX-R untuk pasaran tempatan namun masih belum dipastikan model sesaran enjin mana yang akan diperkenalkan.
Last week, Suzuki Malaysia announced that they’re back on social media, and not long after, they posted a photo of the Suzuki GSX-R logo with the caption “We bring it back! Are you ready?” In the post, there’s also the message stating “Greatness is around the corner.” (more…)
Minggu lalu, Suzuki Malaysia mengumumkan mereka kembali beroperasi setelah lebih sebulan memaklumakn mengenai penutupan operasi.
Suzuki Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SMSB) dicanang diambil alih oleh pihak pengurusan sama yang mengendalikan Kawasaki Malaysia Sdn Bhd (KMSB) sebelum ini meskipun masih belum ada pengumuman rasmi.
Kini, SMSB menerusi perkongsian terbaru di laman Facebook mendedahkan mereka bakal ‘mengembalikan’ model sportsbike GSX-R.
Persoalannya, model yang mana akan dilancarkan itu?
Terdapat pelbagai varian GSX-R dalam portfolio Suzuki bermula dari 150cc hinggalah ke 1000cc.
Bagaimanapun, merujuk kepada ruangan komen perkongsian di Facebook, jelas rata-rata mengharapkan Suzuki memperkenalkan varian mampu milik atau bawah 250cc.
Kami di MotoMalaya juga mengharapkan GSX-R itu merujuk kepada model 150cc yang telah pun dilancarkan di pasaran negara jiran, Indonesia dengan harga sekitar Rp27,900,00 (RM7,800 mengikut tukaran semasa).
April lalu beberapa warna baharu GSX-R150 turut diperkenalkan seperti dibawah:
Suzuki GSX-R150 didatangkan dengan enjin 147.3cc DOHC satu silinder yang menawarkan 19.17hp pada 10,500rpm dan 14Nm pada 9,000rpm dan digerakkan dengan transmisi 6-kelajuan.
Bagaimanapun, barangkali Suzuki Malaysia merujuk kepada jentera ‘flagship’ GSX-R1000R edisi terhad yang baru-baru ini dilancarkan sempena ulang tahun ke-100.

Apa pun, teka-teki ini hanya akan dijawab pihak Suzuki Malaysia sendiri dalam masa terdekat.
A couple of months ago, Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia announced that they’ll be closing up shop. The good news is that there will be a new party taking over the Suzuki motorcycle brand here in Malaysia and we can now confirm that the new Suzuki Malaysia Sdn Bhd which has been said to take over all future arrangements is actually the same folks from Kawasaki Motors Malaysia (KMSB).

The first round of the Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSC) or MSBK is ready for its first-ever triple-header weekend happening next weekend from 25-27 September 2020.

It has been a while since we last heard about anything related to Suzuki here in Malaysia (apart from the lukewarm attempt to unofficially launch the new Suzuki Katana). Now, a letter from Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia is apparently going viral and it’s about them closing down operations for good here in the country. So, what’s going on? (more…)
