I dont see any thing wrong with this bike. Looks decent enough and of course the twin engine!

I am sure this would be more practical and pocket friendly. Around 1.7 On road, this has my money.

One possible solution Suzuki can come up with for the naysayers is by removing the tank shrouds and hanging a fairing in the front like FZ/Fazer or Hyosung GT650R/GT650N.

But if I had to buy this bike, I would definitely go for this naked version. If this is a down-sized B-King, it's going to have some good aerodynamics. Plus for those of you who have cared to read B-King reviews, you will know that despite being a naked streetbike, the windblast encountered on the B-King is far lesser than the CB1000R or FZ1.

This was the best name zuki could get for their bike??

Feels like Muslim word... InaZuma

I was wondering why no one asked that question till now :P
After names like Hayabusa,Gixxer,B-King... inuzuma sounds like WTF!!!

InaZuma sounds like the slang used in PC game World of Warcraft

Sounds more like a fighter's name from Street Fighter or Tekken or King of fighters.

Well, in Japanese language, "Inazuma" means lightning...

Let's hope it doesn't strike on Suzuki's factories itself, because the design of this bike is very controversial.

My two cents :

Guys , where is this discussion heading to, I just don't seem to understand. Why don't people tolerate until it hits the market. Would like to know the reactions of people who have moved to a new league off late ( especially the quarter liter class) and the problems faced by them. Every machine on the face of this earth has some limitations, its just that how much you want to deal with and how much you dont want to. And regarding the mentality of people: Pre release of the Hayabusa, people commented that its was the ugliest looking sports bike, way too bulky that this blah blah ....... and when the same machine makes your girlfriend go a feet above the ground or zips past you in the wink of an eye, then it becomes super cool for you. Ridiculous. And regarding the pricing, if anybody is willing to shell out around 1.1-1.15L for a ZMR( which in my aspect is not a worthy price for so much of plastics, The same FI,Dual Disc etc had they put it on the older ZMA R, would have gone for it with eyes closed. No offense to the owners please) i will definitely wont have a burning sensation in my pocket shelling out 1.3-1.5L for reliable Jap machine.

Yeah its another fact that SUZUKI is a lazy boy.Period. Compare the release of models(in the same segment) from Honda (say Activa and Unicorn) and that of Suzuki( say Access and Slingshot/Zeus) in India. Its a good 6-7 years or almost a decade. So going by those stats, the Inazuma will have to wait a longer time to hit the Indian roads

And regarding the Name, If you are happy riding a bike with an unrealistic name, Pulsar ( i own one) , i don't see why one might not be happy riding a vehicle with a name , which when translated has got something that one can see with their own eye(lightning) than something that You have only heard of ( Phenomenan of Pulsars)

Note: My intention is not to hurt anybody's feeling on any machine, but just to put across the reality.

Excellent name...with some practical 250cc parrallal after Rd350 in indian Roads.

Is it so hard for Suzuki to design a proper sports bike on the lines of their GSX-R lineup? Then the parellel twin would be a worthy competitor to the Ninja.

Ninja and Inazuma both belong to different segments.
One is Sports and the other Commuter/Tourer??

I guess Inazuma fits into a naked commuter category. If it were a tourer it should have come with atleast a half fairing. Well it would definitely look good if it had one, like the Bandit.
