We all know placing that final piece into a jigsaw can give one unsurpassed elation. Well maybe that’s a bit strong, but in Suzuki’s case it has a ‘six-piece’ jigsaw, so to speak, which has been missing that final piece, until now that is. Let me explain, in case you’ve just walked away to make tea, thinking I’ve lost the plot. A bit like six men wandering aimlessly around the graveyard with a coffin in the dark.

It was 2023 when we first rode the new Honda XL750 Transalp. A good looking machine, light on its wheels, great motor, poor suspension, well I thought so, which was very odd coming from Honda seeing as it's joint owners of Showa (Hitachi is the other partner). There were a few other issues but I’ve forgotten them for now. Either way the 2023 Transalp left me a bit cold to say the least.

Ever since this ridiculous fiasco began with that ‘madman’ in the USA, and Iran, fuel prices have basically increased by 30% +/-, and not just for South Africa, so thanks for that Donald. Anyway, that’s my personal rant over.

OK, normally I tend to end a review with the price of the bike/scooter I’ve just written about but, this time, I’m not. Rather, I’m going to notify you that this particular scooter, albeit a very sporty version, will drain your bank account to the value of R84,950, yes, read that again. Have you had lobotomy, I here you say, and rightfully so? How can a 155cc scooter possibly be worth that much when one can buy three, maybe four scooters of the same engine capacity for that sort of cash outlay?
