  • Excellent Machine!
    By Chris Ballinger (I am an Owner) on Sep 23, 2015

    I have owned my Vinson since brand new and it has been extremely reliable! I have used it in extreme conditions such as sub-zero temps, deep snow, mud, and much more.

  • 2005 Suzuki Vinson Manual, Owner Review
    By Greg McCafferty (I am an Owner) on Aug 27, 2011

    I have owned the 2005 Suzuki Vinson Manual since new(150km). It has been a very reliable bike with good performance for both work and play. I do not baby the Vinson when I ride it, but I have put very little money into it and it still drives great.

    Since I bought the bike I have put almost ...

    I put a set of 26" ITP Mud-lite's on it for added traction when I ride and a set of chains for when I plow in the winter. I live in eastern Ontario, we get very bad winters. I put a 6' plow on the Vinson and with a set of chains on the rear, it will push banks of snow taller than the bike.

    I have had to replace the rear swing-arm seals, bearings and a new front lower A-arm, which i take is from my aggressive riding style.

    Never the less, it has been a very strong, reliable and all-around good bike for me.
