It’s been a busy week in the bike world, and here are the highlights

Suzuki Intruder 250 Patents Leaked

With the early popularity of the 155cc Intruder, we’re quite surprised that Suzuki hasn’t rolled out a 250cc version yet. However, recent patent images indicate that an Intruder 250 with a slick double-barrel exhaust system could be closer than we think. For full details, head here.

Jawa BS6 Specs Revealed

Unfortunately, it’s not all good news. Because we’ve managed to get our hands on specs for the BS6 Jawas and things don’t look too good for the stylish little retros. Power and torque have both reduced, while weight has gone up by quite a lot. To find out exactly how much, head here.
