We had a look at the more outrageous Suzuki scooter models from the Eicma show in Milan, including the Sixteen Footable model, but here we take a closer look at the Gemma.
The Suzuki Gemma is a scooter with a futuristic design which has already had marvellous success in Japan. It’s uncertain whether this scooter will enter production or not, but what is absolutely guaranteed is that the Gemma won’t go unnoticed.
The thing that stands out most for us is that this is a scooter adapted for shorter people. Have a look at our shots from Eicma.
Among the many weird and wonderful motorcycles at the Eicma show, Suzuki has some particularly colourful gems on display.
The first is the Van Van special, with Hawaiian colours, and a summer surfy look. We especially appreciate it in the rainy weather we’ve been having in Italy recently.
The second and more elaborate Suzuki piece is a kind of fooze ball scooter called “Sixteen” with a saddle in football field design, and synthetic grass elements. The rear passenger pedals have been created with little soccer men - genius?!
The third quirky Suzuki model at the Eicma show is the Gemma, currently sold in Japan and noted for its smooth lines and “low riding” style.
