The second of Suzuki’s flower name-inspired rider-friendly scooters

Bara

Reflecting the diversifying needs of the scooter market, this slim and compact model was designed to be ridden with ease by anyone. Following on from the Ran (“Orchid”), the Bara was named after the Japanese word for “Rose.” The 50 cm³ air-cooled 2-stroke engine generates maximum horsepower of 3.8 PS. Paired with an automatic transmission that realizes a smooth acceleration feeling, the Bara achieves brisk and agile dynamic performance. Effortless handling was realized by the adoption of the Pointless Electronic Ignition (PEI) system as well as the start system from the Ran, in which the engine cannot be started without pulling the left brake lever.
