Following Alex Rins’ British Grand Prix victory at Silverstone, Suzuki GB has announced it is launching a celebratory offer that sees its entire GSX-R range available on 0% finance until the end of September, which appears to be an excellent piece of opportunistic marketing – until you realise that, far from being freshly launched, the offer has been running since, erm, 1 April.
On 1 April, Suzuki said:
The GSX-R125 has joined the range-topping GSX-R1000R on Suzuki’s 0% finance, offer, and is now available for £60 per month with a minimum deposit of just £500.
The entry-level GSX-R entered the 125cc sportsbike segment boasting the best power and torque-to-weight ratios in the class, and uses a free-revving, DOHC single-cylinder engine, compared to the SOHC powerplants of many of its rivals.
On 1 July, Suzuki announced:
Suzuki has extended its 0% finance offer on the award-winning and race-proven GSX-R1000R plus the entry-level GSX-R125, with the deal now available until the end of September 2019. There’s also a new £250 Suzuki deposit contribution on the GSX-R125.
Available with a minimum deposit of £1000 on the range-topping GSX-R1000R, customers can ensure they’re choosing a deal that best suits their personal circumstances, and opt for either a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP) agreement.
On 27 August, Suzuki stated:
Following Team Suzuki Ecstar and Alex Rins’ British Grand Prix victory at Silverstone, Suzuki GB has launched a celebratory offer that sees its entire GSX-R range available on 0% finance until the end of September.
The offer includes the range-topping GSX-R1000R and the GSX-R1000 – both of which use technology lifted directly from Suzuki’s GSX-RR racer including a clever mechanical variable valve timing system that boosts both low down torque, midrange shove and top-end power.
Also included in the 0% offer is the entry-level GSX-R125 which shares the same DNA as its larger sibling, with a free-revving DOHC single cylinder engine housed in a lightweight chassis for swift acceleration and agile handling.
