To celebrate the birth of the new Burgman 400 Suzuki Italia has decided to combine two wheels and illustration in a new project made of technical competence, Japanese culture, Italian taste and current events.

The inspiration comes from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the imagination of the Hamamatsu House, the “Burgman 400 is the elegant Athlete and Suzuki Italy wants to emphasize the values ​​of the athlete, creating an exhibition of works created exclusively by four Italian artists who have shown great affinity with Japanese culture: Gianluca Folì, Riccardo Guasco, Francesco Poroli e i gemelli Van Orton.

The illustrators have interpreted four fundamental characteristics of the new Burgman 400 (elegance, sportiness, stability and safety) by combining them with as many Olympic sports (diving, athletics, artistic gymnastics and fencing) to represent in 4 unique works, voted on Facebook.

It was Van Orton's fencer that appealed most to the social media audience, becoming a livery of the iconic Suzuki scooter.
