Usable fuel tank size

[Ihbiker]

It is a limited edition Suzuki SW1 from 1992. My friend is the 2nd owner of the bike, but according to him only the exhausts are aftermarket. It has the air cooled twin and sounded great.

Thanks to your model info I was able to find these brochure pages. Apparently it was designed only for the Japanese market. Interesting bike, that's for sure ... designed to be like a Vespa (scooter) whereas these days they are designing scooters to be more like motorcycles.

Before getting the Wing, I considered the K1600B. But it costs almost $10K more than the Wing in Japan. After all, I was glad I did not spend the money as those mega bikes are no use here. RS would be as big as I would here, and maybe go up to a RT after retiring with more long distance trips.

I think that you made a wise choice. Even the GW is probably too big for those roads in the city, and I am not sure that the K1600B is worth the $10K premium.

Exactly, the GW is too big for the city roads here. Even in some mountain passes, I often had hard time to make the turns.

Here my attached route maps. Those hair pins were fun.
