Overview
The iconic, small capacity, retro Suzuki VanVan gets a brand new engine for 2016, taking its displacement up from 125cc to 200c but one less gear. It's now a 5-speed, not a 6-speed bike. It remains as an air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder lump with the emphasis on low-to-mid range power.The learner-friendly machine also retains its classic looks and uber comfortable and wide seat, spot on for both rider and passenger. And at just 770mm high, same as the 125cc, it's a viable option for the shorter or less confident rider. To soak up the pot holes and man holes, 33mm-innner-tube telescopic front forks and single-shock absorber rear suspension with 130mm of wheel travel combine with an 18-inch 130/80 front tire on an aluminum-rim wheel and extra-wide 14-inch 180/80 rear tire.Front disc brake with two-piston caliper and rear drum brake provide braking power to match its 70's. Thankfully the VanVan 200 only weighs 128kg, wet.A slim shaped 6.5-litre fuel tank will be enough for short commutes and town riding while a white on black, glow-in-the-dark speedo also adds to its retro feel.The original Suzuki VanVan, aka RV125, was an air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke built between 1972 and 1982 and was also available in 50cc, 75cc and 90cc. The current 125cc, four-stroke model launched in 2003 and is available as part of the current range at £3199. The VanVan 200 will be available in three color options: Metallic Triton Blue, Metallic Mat Fibroin Grey or Solid Black. Source:
