always check specs
(even if the print is very fine)
It really pays to read specifications. All of them.
You might discover something they forgot to
put in the headline. For example, look at this
comparison between the Suzuki 80cc super sport
“Challenger” and the leading 90cc super sport.
Does the Suzuki 80 out-perform the bigger bike?
You bet it does. For other equally interesting
surprises, see your Suzuki dealer.

Suzuki develops 8 hp at 2,500 less rpm thus engine's power is more usable because you get it quicker. 2
You get 1.99 ft lbs of torque at 2,000 less rpm. Obtaining more power at a much quicker rate means faster acceleration, sustained speed and power over hills. 3
The true performance determinate and clearly in Suzuki’s favor. The competition’s 90cc engine must push an extra 2% lbs for each hp.
