What is Suzuki Choinori?
'''Choinori''' (''riding nearby'' in [[Japanese language|Japanese]]) is a scooter built by [[Suzuki]]. It was launched at 2003 for 59,800 [[Yen]]. Reducing the size and not using any high cost parts were the secret to low price. However, because of cutting costs, they do not have rear [[Suspension (vehicle)|suspension]] and the maximum speed is around {{convert|45|km/h|abbr=on}}. It also has an aluminum [[Four-stroke engine|four-stroke]] 50 cc engine. The special thing about the engine is that it weighs 40% less than other four-stroke engines. It also make the scooter lighter and cheaper. Due to its low price, it was a great hit in Japan. However, Suzuki stopped producing Choinori in 2007 because it failed to pass the new gas emission standards. == References == *[http://www.suzukicycles.org/Choinori/Choinori.shtml Suzuki Motor Company (Japan), a Japanese anonymous visitor, Tatsuwo Sato, Hiroyuki Takeuchi] [[Category:2003 establishments in Japan]] [[Category:2007 disestablishments in Japan]] [[Category:Motorcycles|Choinori]]
