Suzuki Offers Full Motorcycle Line-up For 2012

Time was just a couple years ago, in 2010, that motorcycle sales were off so badly that Suzuki only offered two 2010 models in the U.S. What a difference a couple years make!

Suzuki is back this year with more than two dozen updated 2012 models, across their entire product line.
There are five 2012 sportbike models in the line-up, two Hayabusas and three GSXs. They include the basic 1340cc Hayabusa and the 1340cc Hayabusa Limited Edition, as well as the GSX-R1000, GSX-R750, and GSX-R600. Prices range a base MSRP of $14,299 for the Hayabusa Limited Edition down to $11,599 for the GSX-R600.

There are also five bikes offered in the cruiser category for 2012, all variations on Suzuki’s Boulevard model. You have your choice of the Boulevard M109R, Boulevard M109R Limited Edition, Boulevard C50T Classic, Boulevard C50T, and Boulevard S40. Engine sizes range from 652cc for the Boulevard S40 to 1783cc for the two Boulevard M109R models. Prices at the top end run $14,799 for the Boulevard M109R Limited Edition down to a scant $5,399 for the Boulevard S40.

There’s only one bike in the touring category for 2012, and that’s the same Boulevard C50T that is also listed as a cruiser. This bike has an 805cc engine and the MSRP is $9,499.

Motocross bikes include the RM-Z450, RM-Z250, RM85, and RM85L. The numbers in the names indicate the engine size and the biggest of the four has an MSRP of $8,399 while the smallest is listed at $4,199. The RM85 and RM85L are also listed under the category of kids’ bikes.

There is one standard in Suzuki’s 2012 line-up, the 249cc TU250X, which carries an MSRP of $4,099. Suzuki describes it as having “classic styling, including spoked wheels, a round headlight and sweptback muffler - and plenty of chrome.”

In the dual-sport category, there are six 2012 bikes to choose from, including the newly returned V-Strom 1000 and its close kin, the V-Strom 1000 Adventure. You also have the options of the V-Strom 650 ABS and V-Strom 650 ABS Adventure, as well as the DR650SE and DR-Z400S. With adventure riding one of the fastest-growing segments in motorcycling, Suzuki has taken its already highly rated V-Strom to the next level with the two Adventure models. Hard side bags are stock on both Adventure models and the bigger one also comes with a top case.

Trending closer to out-and-out dirt bikes, the DR650SE and DR-Z400S are still great for pavement or the dirt, and lighter than the V-Stroms. Prices for the group range from $10,999 for the V-Strom 1000 Adventure to $5,000 for the DR650SE.

And as to dirt bikes, or off-road as Suzuki categories them, the 2012 offerings include the DR-Z125 and DR-Z125L. As Suzuki says, “When you’ve got a DR-Z, the whole world looks a little different. You start seeing whoops, jumps, and washboards everywhere you look. Even a rainy day just means more mud to play in.”

Finally there are the scooters. Suzuki offers two scooters for 2012, the Burgman 650 Exec and the Burgman 400 ABS. Ranging in price from $9,899 to $7,599 respectively, the scoots offer the power of a full-sized motorcycle with the convenience and comfort commonly associated with scooters. Scooter seats are known for being large and comfortable and the Burgmans do not disappoint on that count. Add to that the impressive cargo space that will accommodate two full-face helmets and you may find your car being left in the garage more and more.

All in all, Suzuki has 2012 models to suit any style of riding and any price range. What are you waiting for?

How To Find Used Line Trucks For Sale

Anyone who operates a small business needs commitment, dedication and the ability to make decisions in a timely manner. Once business operations are being performed consistently by the workforce, it may be a good choice to acquire a bucket truck to add to the vehicle fleet. This acquisition would surely maximize the capabilities of a company in what it offers to clients. Of course, it would be a considerable investment to buy a brand new truck. A better idea would be to buy one of the many used line trucks for sale across the country. This gives another company greater ability to perform and gives each truck another chance to enhance a company and its revenue.

What Are Used Line Trucks?
These trucks are electric line trucks and are also called cherry pickers or bucket trucks. Each one has a hydraulic lift basket fastened to the back of the truck. Workers stand in these buckets or lift baskets and are safely elevated to high areas to complete various functions. Most people know they are used for installing and maintaining telephone, cable and electrical lines. Some other uses are for picking fruit from trees, hanging banners, hanging holiday decorations or lights, painting murals, window cleaning and various construction projects.
Owning a bucket truck can start a new line of work for your company no matter how large or small the business. A good, sturdy bucket truck can open new areas of providing customer services that were not possible without the truck.

Where to Find Used Line Trucks for Sale
Many business places use line trucks in their daily operations. When the warranty runs out on these trucks or they start getting old, the company sells them and replaces them with newer models. To find these good buys, do a bit of research on electrical and mechanical company fleets to discover which models will be sold outright or where there will be upcoming auctions. Even public companies such as phone, electric and cable companies may go out of business or merge with another company. At that time they may want to unload a fleet of trucks during liquidation of assets.

From time to time, commercial truck, van and car auctions list used line trucks for sale. This is the perfect opportunity to acquire a vehicle the same day and begin to use it immediately.

Another place to search for used line trucks for sale are dealers who have reconditioned equipment. They buy vehicles that need repairs, fix and refurbish them and offer them for sale to the public. Dealers also buy fleets from individuals and list them for sale as part of their inventory.

Sometimes sole contractors who may take a job with a company that has their own fleet or who is retiring, may sell trucks for which they no longer have any need. This lowers their expenses and liquidates assets.

The first step toward finding and owning used line trucks for sale is to locate the trucks. After finding them, be sure to inspect them carefully so that you get the quality you desire. After a price is agreed upon and the sale is completed, then you will need to get it registered. It can be registered in your name or your company's name. It is also necessary to insure it for operation, theft or damage. Be sure that the policy offers complete coverage for anyone who drives it under business operations or personal situations. Consult a licensed insurance professional for an explanation of the various kinds of insurance available and the best coverage for your needs. Following these tips will help you find used line trucks for sale.
