So you won’t be popping wheelies on this one. It is not that type of Suzuki. The GD 110 is built with one main purpose...hauling cargo. It is powered by a 112.8-cubic centimeter, air-cooled single cylinder engine that churns out 6 kilowatts at 8,500 revolutions per minute and 8.53 Newton-meters of torque at 5,500 rpm. Despite the modest engine displacement, this bike is intended to take on the heaviest of jobs because that’s how it is in business segment of the Philippine motorcycle industry. To stay competitive, a manufacturer must offer the most cost-efficient product without compromising its capability and versatility.
The GD 110 is as basic as it can get. It comes with a classic round headlight, analog speedometer and a four-speed manual gearbox. It doesn’t even have an electric starter. You also get front and rear drum brakes, which are surprisingly effective. I suppose it doesn’t really take much to put a 108-kilogram bike to a halt. One has to wonder, though, how would they fare when riding with heavy loads.
