Classic and full body shape, double exhaust and thick rear wheels, all these obvious details explain Suzuki's understanding of the word "speed". Today, let's talk about its story briefly.
The birth of Suzuki Falcon
The appearance of every legendary work in history is inseparable from the promotion of landmark events. Kawasaki launched Ninja in the 1980s? The GPZ900R model, with a top speed of 248 km/h, has been sought after by many knights, even in the famous movie Top Gun. The success of Kawasaki Heavy Industries in the field of heavy machinery greatly stimulated its competitors, and a competition about speed and honor began.
So we saw that Honda launched a powerful CBR 1 100XX model, and when it came out, it won the top speed of 1996 and defeated Kawasaki Ninja? ZX- 1 1 achieved the fastest performance of 287.3 km/h, and the speed struggle of many Japanese brands continued to spread. Suzuki, the four largest motorcycle manufacturers in Japan, has also started to take action. 1999, Suzuki Falcon went on the market with a top speed of 3 12km/h, easily defeating Honda. Interestingly, Honda's CBR 1 100XX means "blackbird", while Suzuki's Hayabusa is a faster raptor.
Everything is for speed.
Suzuki Falcon can be roughly divided into two generations. According to different ages, the first generation can be subdivided into X, Y, K 1-K7 and other models. Project leader Jipu? The original idea is to build a legal road crane with domineering appearance, aerodynamics and strong performance.
The first Suzuki Falcon appeared in 1999. 1298cc water-cooled inline four-cylinder engine can exert the maximum power of 175 horsepower and the torque of 138.3 nm. In 2000, he won the straight-line race with Porsche (with a score of 345 km/h).
In 2008, the second generation Suzuki Falcon came out, the displacement increased to 1340cc, the internal engine was changed to 16 valve layout, the maximum power reached 198 horsepower, and the maximum torque increased to 154.9 Nm. This generation of cars has been produced until 20 18, but because of emission restrictions, it has no choice but to quit the rivers and lakes.
Looking forward to a new life
Just when many people feel sorry for the disappearance of Suzuki model, some time ago, the news about Suzuki's upcoming update was released on the external network. According to the news, the displacement of the new Suzuki Falcon will be increased to 1440cc, and the electronic control components will be further upgraded. From the picture, except for the headlight shape, the classic appearance of Falcon is still preserved. It seems that Kawasaki H2' s opponent has really come.
A culture originated from falcons?
After the motorcycle is produced and delivered to the riders, the riders will naturally do DIY according to the model. For a performance model like Suzuki Falcon, of course, everyone will not be limited to the original factory. Based on Suzuki Falcon, Busan culture was also derived. Usually, the horsepower of the vehicle will be upgraded, the turbine will be modified, the rear fork will be lengthened and the wider rear wheel will be replaced.
Is this car made by BDR? The Suzuki Falcon with improved performance kept the engine, but upgraded Garrett? GT35 turbine, 1000cc? Bosch fuel injector, brand-new gearbox, tires, exhaust and other components, with 1 19 octane fuel, the power reached 650 horsepower, creating an amazing speed of 425 km/h. I have to say that Suzuki Falcon is really terrible.
welcome
To put it simply, Suzuki Falcon is a model with unique appearance and strong performance, and it is a legend in the history of motorcycles. For those who love it, it is a great blessing to see a brand-new model come back to us.
It should be noted that many people have a simple understanding of Suzuki Falcon, and some people may even be confused by its huge shape (thinking that it is heavy and only suitable for straight running). In fact, the original model has a very good sense of control regardless of the mountain road or the track.
Remember Japanese drivers Shima Yukio and Holeshot? The white killer in the racing world once affirmed the first generation of Suzuki Falcon: "This is a very fast and flexible' monster', and no one can resist its charm." Therefore, many models can't see the appearance and need to feel it actually, which also makes me have more expectations for the new Suzuki Falcon model.
Let's remember this motorcycle legend and falcon.
