“You’re going where to do what ???”
Llandrindod Wells to pick up our New Suzuki DL650AL2 demo bike…
Rather than simply delivering the bike to dealers Suzuki decided to give 1 lucky bike sales team member from each of their dealers the chance to have a real experience of the bike under different riding conditions…
That’s why Alex was heading to Llandrindod Wells in remotest mid Wales.
Llandrindod Wells is actually the home to one of the largest and longest established time-card Enduros. Every year the town and surrounding area welcomes hundreds of riders, all there to experience some of the toughest and most scenic terrain and roads in Europe for the Welsh Two Day Enduro.
Better pack your pyjamas', a clean helmet and get on the train then Alex…
Nice gaff Alex – yeah, yeah it’s got a bar…
A HA a map – now you won’t get lost…
Base Camp – which ones ours Alex ???
This one - Oh yeah baby – looks good with the stickers on Alex…
Nice reservoir Alex…
Would this be number 2 on the handy map Alex ? It is – ACE !
Off Road Bit – better have a fag Alex and get your nerves up.
You last went off-roading when ??? Never !!! Oh you’ll enjoy this then !!!!
(Gary ! check the company insurance would you mate, we might need it….)
So after all that what did Alex actually think of the new Suzuki DL650AL2…
“I have to say the 2012 DL650A is just fab! By the time I'd arrived back at Streetbike I'd covered 186 miles and the fuel consumption was 62 MPG!....and there was 2 "blocks" left on the fuel gauge!
The bike felt extremely planted on the road, the handling was sublime and confidence inspiring to boot! The riding position was very comfortable and the new seat made a big difference. The screen being closer to the rider also made a vast improvement in reducing buffeting and overall wind noise. So overall a top bike that's going to be very popular with our customers and quite a few are booked in for demo rides already.
The Off Road experience was my first so I was apprehensive to say the least....particularly as I knew I'd got customer demo's this weekend! However, once I'd wobbled away and got going it was great fun! The DL felt stable and well balanced on the loose surface, and also demonstrated the smooth responsiveness of the new motor. I think the track chosen was a great way to demonstrate the off road capability of the bike and once I got to the end without any drama's I was very impressed!”
That’s what Alex thinks – what do you think. Call the guys, book a demo ride and let us know…
