        In which area you ares searching bcz I am also driving in Delhi( to my bad luck still not seen any other Inazuma) and but according to Suzuki Showroom (Meera bagh) sold 8 units till last two months and now they have vehicle for test drive but no vehicle to showcase in showroom with no immediate delivery.

        My regular daily travel on it is 110KM+ as per my experience Performance is adequate, I am able to cruise regularly at 108-110KMPH constant and still accelerate further on demand without much effort, Vibes are now totally gone though initially I faced vibe issue above 8.5K rpm but its decreased a lot as engine is getting old and i think more smoothness is still on way as engine gets more mileage.

        And you cant expect adrenaline rush with commuter Bike, which Inazuma is at its heart.

        I hope they bring some accessories for this bike instead of discontinuing this model(Why this confusion) as windshield is immediate requirement for further increasing cruising speed(we can add 10KMPH more to 110KMPH as i feel engine/bike is fully capable of increasing cruising speed further but wind blast limits its(bike & driver Both) capability. As i fear damaging bike by installing custom aftermarket locally as any vibration can kill the purpose of this bike to me.

        Little OT, How I measure vibes on my bike apart from feeling it. we frequently overtake girls walking on road parallel to us and if i am fully & clearly able to see girl and her all feature in my RVM than bike is vibration free.
        Drive FAST but not Rough, Drive SAFE But not Slow.

          There are parts available with Suzuki (AFAIK) & spares to last quite a few services (according to the Svc Engineer at SMK Suzuki, Chennai), for the bikes sold already - even if the bike gets pulled off, it is the responsibility of the dealer / service center to ensure availability of spares. What is a bit disconcerting is, if they actually do this: this would kill the interest of potential buyers of the brand on any newer offerings (of 250cc or above) & restrict the circle of current owners (which is already in low numbers); the silver lining is - this bike will certainly be quite exclusive then!

          You are able to put quite a few miles on your ride on a daily basis! I'm still stuck around 600km (this will change soon, I guess). But, I revel in whatever little riding I do now: in spite of the size, it is now extremely easy to maneuver & even tipping it on its side is no big deal. There are a couple of hairy instances that happened (will pen it in my long term review), that has further reinforced my trust on the bike's handling, stability & easy-going nature. And one of the instances put the front brakes to test - it just stopped on a dime; the Nissins are quite good.

            I saw another red-inazuma at chennai yesterday, finally. we just waved hands as the other guy diverted to a different lane. its near thiruvanmiyur RTO, very new registered bike.

            doing a trip to bangalore starting today evening (I already completed 1000Kms run in courtesy of two trips to pondy and frequent commuting to office). tried to fix rynox saddle bad today, it fixes without any problem. For N300, the upswept exhaust once burnt my saddle bad :-( this wont happen with Inazuma

            thought of buying a mobile holder but the clip-on handle bar means there is absolutely no place for this :-(

            Also if anybody knows where to buy a quality windscreen please let me know.

            I felt the braking is inadaqueate atleast in feel. Also due to the monsoon, the chains became rusty and produced some minor vibes on the footpegs (not sure if that is the whole reason). the vibes settled after the chain service.

              Spotted the new red graphics version today at Ulsoor opposite to Hyosung showroom at Bangalore. Don't know whether it's sticker job or Suzuki launched the special edition. It looked like this:

                [MENTION=63278]aeykeyyes[/MENTION] are you still in B'lore? May be we can catch up a for a quick coffee. Never knew there is an ownership review thread here. I think it's better to discuss there about the bike. It'll keep everything in one place.
                this is the link:


                Or should we continue here?

                      It might be the reason Suzuki removed Inazuma from the website temporarily.

                            Anyone remember Honda Civic Hybrid which was priced for 20 lakhs. Nobody bought the car except few. suddenly Honda slashed the price to 12 lakhs and cleared the inventory. Propably Inazuma face similar fate till suzuki clears its inventory. I pray for those who bought inazuma will get spares without scarcity.

                              I'm getting HTTP Error 503, The service is unavailable for Suzuki India site http://suzukimotorcycle.co.in/

                              something is going on, I'm hoping for the best.
