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?

Cruisers, you either love them, or hate them. But over the past few years they seem to have dissolved a little, regarding options. Harley and Ducati, with their Diavel, offer the cruiser experience, but at what cost? Oh, Suzuki had their 1800 Boulevard that did sell relatively well, but that’s about to be discontinued. So when we saw a new and very fascinating cruiser had arrived in South Africa we just had to find out more.

If you mention the Indian motorcycle brand TVS most people will instantly think of commercial bikes, justifiably so. Indeed TVS currently sells over one million, yes over one million, bikes throughout Africa alone, and many, many more into the rest of the planet. These stratospheric figures make TVS the third largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, and possibly rising into second place in the very near future. Don’t forget that TVS has recently been assertively established into South Africa as well, with the aim to achieve similar and envious figures, and who are we to disagree on the outcome.

It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with a new motorcycle. For sure we test a multitude of bikes that have their own distinctive attributes that induce a warm feeling inside your apparel. However there’s always something that doesn’t quite swing your desirability meter towards its zenith. For that reason we typically ‘demand’ that we have any bike for at least a week that will, or might not, expose these galling affects of the ride in mention. Well, without dribbling into my helmet’s chin piece too much this most certainly was not the case with Suzuki’s GSX-8TT.
