The Retro Motorcycle Suzuki SW1

Today's video is dedicated to real fans of retro motorcycles. The Suzuki SW-1 is a unique and interesting motorcycle, especially given its vintage retro styling and the fact that it was only produced for the Japanese home market in 1992, making it extremely rare.

The SW-1 has a fully enclosed vintage retro style finished in cream, with a combination of futuristic and nostalgic retro design elements. The full cover body and curves contribute to its distinctive appearance, and it was awarded the 1992 Good Design Award. Powered by a four-stroke, single-cylinder, SOHC engine with 2 valves, the GN 250 engine provides 249 cc of displacement. The air/oil cooling system helps maintain optimal engine temperatures.

The SW-1 is equipped with a 5-speed transmission and features a belt drive, which can offer smoother and quieter operation compared to chain or shaft drives. The motorcycle generates 15 kW (20 hp) of power at 8000 rpm and a torque of 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 5500 rpm. These specifications suggest a moderate level of power suitable for cruising and urban commuting.

Notable features include a trochoid oil pump, forced cooling, electric start, twin supertrapp adjustable silencers, dual leather-looking seats, and rear pop-open side storage. The concept design was carried out by Naoki Sakai, and the "SW" in the name comes from the initials of the Water Studios. The SW-1 was only made for the Japanese home market in 1992, contributing to its rarity. This limited production adds to its appeal for collectors and enthusiasts.
