![]() Just as with the PWCs of today, the Wet Bike’s engine was placed under the seat. There were two models manufactured, the Silver Streak and a much sportier model called the Tomcat. These were mostly due to technical advancements, upgrades and added safety features. Throughout the years that Wet Bikes were being manufactured, from 1978 through 1992, it kept changing. They still have them and after all these decades, these fans are still getting around on their WetBikes: You rarely see them on the water!ĭespite the initial excitement and gaining fame in movies, the Wet Bike is now a faded memory for most.īut, a small cadre of fans is still around doing what they can to keep the memory alive. It’s the only vessel that turns with so much maneuverability and there’s nothing quite as exciting!Įven though it got a lot of attention, mostly due to its looks, it’s pretty much been forgotten. But we doubt that any have the elegance and grace of a Wet Bike! Can you show me one that gives you the freedom and thrill you get when riding a motorcycle? I don’t think you can!Īnd why not? Because the Wet Bike was built with front steering, a feature no other personal watercraft has ever had. There are all kinds of watercraft being built today that can go a lot faster than the Wet Bike. I think James Bond was even seen driving one in the movies, something many men have probably imagined doing themselves! It was so strange seeing people using them in the late 1970s to get around on the water. Wet Bike (also known as the Suzuki WetBike) was something we’ll never forget. ![]()
