If we were asked for a recommendation by someone look¬ing to buy a solid, versatile motorcycle that represents a true performance value, the all-new Gladius is one of the first we would mention. Its SV-family 90-degree V-Twin engine has class-leading horsepower and torque, yet is easily managed even by less-experienced riders. European-inspired styling features sleek, flowing lines wrapped around a tubular trellis frame. The Gladius’ upright riding position and wide handlebar also help make this platform less intimidating than your average middleweight.

The GSX-R600 is a bike specifically designed to own the racetrack and rule the backroads. It all starts with an aluminum frame and braced swingarm, both designed for the kind of rigidity that contributes to superb cornering performance. The inline four-cylinder motor is narrow and lightweight, with a stacked transmission layout that shortens the engine front-to-rear, allowing a longer swingarm that benefits rear-wheel traction and overall handling. Race-quality Showa suspension involves an inverted 41 mm cartridge fork and an aluminum-bodied shock with adjustable preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression settings.

Quite possibly Suzuki’s most inviting entry-level street-bike, the GS500F combines an aggressive, sporting look with a user-friendly personality and wallet-friendly price tag. Its full fairing provides good wind protection and features a pair of vertically stacked headlights that project a striking resemblance to those on the mighty GSX-R1000. For that reason, don’t be surprised if you receive nods and waves of acceptance from passing Gixxer riders. The 500F’s rigid box-section steel frame, single-shock suspension, light curb weight and agile handling offer beginners plenty of encouragement to explore the joys of corner carving.

While entry-level bikes should be inexpensive to own and operate, there’s nothing to be gained from cut-rate styling. Despite having many of the classic visual cues of larger cruisers, the GZ250 is one of the two least-expensive streetbikes (along with the new TU250) in Suzuki’s lineup and an exceptionally unintimidating machine for riders just starting out. The GZ’s low seat height, light and narrow chassis and feathery-smooth control operation combine with mellow power output to provide an ideal mount for those learning to ride on the street.

If you believe the fun begins when the pavement ends, this bike is right up your, er, dirt road. The lightweight, single-cylinder DR650SE is engineered for a good balance of off-road ability and smooth, highway-capable street performance. Its chassis and suspension provide precise control on trails or open fireroads, yet with solid stability at street speeds. On the road, the engine’s court-terbalancer ensures remarkably smooth operation, while the DR’s comfortable scat and spacious riding position extend an invitation to exploration and adventure.

Exceptional off-road performance conies naturally for the DR-Z400S dual-purpose bike, and well it should: It’s essentially Suzuki’s renowned DR-Z400E enduro fitted with street-legal equipment. It uses the same high-quality suspension and lightweight, sharp-handling chassis, making it capable of dealing with everything from tight, technical trails to wide-open fireroads to city streets to open highways. The liquid-cooled four-stroke Single is blessed with crisp throttle response and strong torque, and is remarkably smooth-revving at freeway speeds. Also available: The supermoto-inspired DR-Z400SM, the same bike but with shorter suspension, an inverted fork, a larger front brake and sportbike wheels and tires.

A popular school of thought is to learn to ride in the dirt before hitting the street. For anyone who subscribes to that philosophy, the DR200SE is an ideal learning tool for beginning riders. It weighs just 278 pounds and has a seat height of just under 32 inches, features that help you build your confidence as you develop skills. It has a sturdy frame, long-travel suspension and high-traction tires, so it soaks up rough terrain and handles well on tight trails. The electric-start DR200SE also has all the features required to be street-legal.

A true maxi-scooter, the Burgman 650 features an innovative continuously variable, electronically controlled transmission that allows the rider to choose from two automatic-shift modes (Normal and Power) or one manual button-actuated mode for sportier riding situations. A super-thick couch-like seat contributes to the 650’s plush ride and sits atop a cavernous storage area big enough to accept two full-face helmets. Also available: The Burgman 650 Executive, which comes with ABS, an electrically height-adjustable windscreen and a easy-to-use rearview-mirror retraction button for squeezing this rather wide, 611-pound scooter into tight parking spaces.
