Suzuki Gemma

Summary

The Suzuki Gemma is a motor scooter introduced as a concept motorcycle at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2007,[4][5] and commercially available in Japan beginning in 2008.[6] It is not a step-through frame design like most scooters; instead, there is a cargo compartment ahead of the operator and between the operator's legs.[4]
