TVS Suzuki Shogun. It was fast, even frightening at times! It packed a 110 cc air-cooled two-stroke engine which was tuned to produce 14 bhp and 11.4 nm of torque. If we compare these figures to the motorcycles which are on sale today, you would know why the Shogun is still considered to be a pocket rocket! Comparatively, 110cc motorcycles of today’s age roughly produce around 8-9 bhp. Even if we bring in certain 150cc motorcycles to this equation, the Shogun will still knock everything out of the park.
It wasn’t just about the speed, it was about the whole character of the motorcycle and the TVS Suzuki Shogun was full of it! Couple such explosive performance with a lightweight frame and chassis and you have a considerably fast motorcycle. The power delivery kicked in hard and wasn’t as subtle and linear as motorcycles of today’s age. The Shogun could hit a top whack of 100 kmph plus easily, but the manner in which it could reach that speed is still something which is worth an experience.
