In the Spotlight: Suzuki Motorcycles


From its first mass-produced electronic bicycle in 1952, Suzuki Motors’ motorcycles have lead the market in terms of innovation and features.

Suzuki was born in 1909, when Michio Suzuki embodied his dream of making quality automobiles. It took the company more than forty years to be able to manufacture a two-wheeled automobile, but after that it never looked back. Suzuki Motors became popular in manufacturing motorcycles which run on two-stroke engines. However, because of the need to shift to a more efficient technology, they became a world leader in manufacturing four-stroke motorcycles.

The Suzuki Motorcycles are perhaps one of the best known in the world. They reign supreme on the professional arena, especially in the 1970’s, when several world championships were grabbed by Suzuki, including 500 cc Road Racing and the 500 cc motocross titles. It is also a popular brand that is used for transportation in developing countries, particularly those in Southeast Asia. Suzuki offers a wide range of motorcycles that are available for anyone who is interested in buying one.

In 2006, Suzuki has released many models and retained some old ones from their portfolio. Suzuki has 11 sportbike models to choose from, 12 crusier models ( from the Boulevard series), 2 touring models, 6 dual-sport and standard models and 4 scooters.

The versatility of the motorcycle models of Suzuki has made it as one of the top motorcycle brands in the United States. In North Carolina for example, it is currently number four in terms of market share. Just behind Harley-Davidson, Yamaha and Kawasaki.

The Suzuki motorcycles went to infiltrate the American market in 1963. The single most distinct quality of a Suzuki motorcycles is its value:price ratio. Suzuki is the top dealer in terms of providing cheap motorcycles which can provide the same quality that other more expensive motorcycle brands.

If you are looking at different motorcycle brands to choose from, then you might want to look at some Suzuki models from your local dealer. Make sure that you compare prices from different dealers before you finalize your purchase. But from a strictly practical point of view, Suzuki motorcycles are one of the best models out there. It gives true value for such a small fraction of the price of other brands of motorcycles. Suzuki’s innovative and straightforward approach towards developing motorcycles will keep them at the top for a long time.
