2017 Suzuki VanVan 200 – Photo Gallery

“Classic cool. Ready to groove whenever and wherever you are.” This is the tagline Suzuki uses for one of the more peculiar models just released as a 2017 model – the VanVan 200.

The fat-tired bike joins the other two smaller standards that return to the 2017 Suzuki motorcycle lineup as carryovers – the TU250X and GW250.

The VanVan 200 is a lightweight and easily accessible motorcycle with a retro flair – something you’d expect to see on the California Beach scene. It is powered by a four-stroke, 199cc single with a five-speed transmission, and arrives with an 18” front tire and extra-wide 14” balloon tire out back. This fat rear tire enhances the retro look, and compliments the slim 1.7-gallon gas tank.

The Suzuki VanVan 200 will be offered in two colors – Metallic Triton Blue and Metallic Matte Fibroin Gray – for a price of $4,599 (MSRP).

Following are the highlights of the 2017 Suzuki VanVan 200 courtesy of Suzuki:
